anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

This article explains that what happened to the Esmeralda seven projects: “the proponents and BLM agreed to change their approach for the Esmeralda 7 Solar Project in Nevada,” instead of programmatic review, developers can review individually. 🔌💡

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

I like this idea

But note: I like alot of poor ideas. However, I can't see how this would provoke or be bad messaging

The fact the 'frog' meme is deeply embedded in most of the ICE guys is TRUE so it makes this more powerful then most even realize. It's silly but in a psychological way that is 5x
