MODERATORS
I watched this video awhile ago about 3 Yale professors leaving the U.S. because of the rise in fascism.
From that video, Marci Shore, Historian of Totalitarianism:
There's an expression in Polish: "I found myself at the very bottom. And then I heard knocking from below." In Russian that gets abbreviated to "dna ne sushchestvuet" - "there is no bottom". What starts to matter, is not what is concealed, but what has been normalized. There's no limit to the depravity, and the sadism, and the cruelty that we are watching now play out in real time.
Los Angeles is still under occupation
I wonder if that could be used on billionaires that threaten the "big, beautiful bill (tm)"?
We need an inverse lottery. The top 100 most wealthy Americans are automatically added to a pool and one is drawn at random each year. Then we confiscate everything they own, put them in the street, and see if they can get rich again.
No, what we need is a modern day Maximillian Robespierre.
My thought was; you get to keep anything up to a billion every year. Everything over that goes into a public fund, that fund gets named after who put the most in, they get their name on the bills that come out, those bills (same as green backs) get paid to community projects, workers, infrastructure maintenance, and the billionaires get to put their names on it
Trumps already doing it. Calling to deport musk back to South Africa because musk thinks the big beautiful bill is bad
Turns out Elon has a face, and leopards are going to do what leopards are going to do.
Conservatives are so evil, even Satan feels woke.
Satan IS woke! He wants you to have knowledge and think for yourself! He wants you to be a responsible adult and live your best life. All God wants is blind obedience, and to suffer in this life in order to spent eternity locking his feet in the afterlife.
I'm not religious but I feel like the whole thing about the apple and acquiring knowledge is pretty much the OG woke-ness.
It's not a "new red line". This is something that has already been tested in the courts because of a law written during WWII. It's only allowed in very narrow circumstances.
For instance:
If someone serves in a foreign military/government and they still have citizenship and it can be proven that it was voluntary.
The same law that allowed for that also attempted to allow for denaturalization in cases where someone:
- Deserted military service during wartime.
- Voted in a foreign election.
But these were both found to be unconstitutional.
Legal Eagle talked about those cases here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS-for7pUxU&t=980s
Dear Lord the amount of judges ignoring clearly written law to support slavery for war 🙄
Centrists are gonna work with them since the first target is Mamdani.
Oooo I called it! All I get is this shit sandwich.
This is all a progression to making non-whites, including Native Americans, deportable.
Meddling with deneutralization
