It’s not even about driving them nuts, either! Laughter dispels fear. If people aren’t afraid, they are less susceptible to propaganda & behavior control.

Any form of media that involves an angry man telling an audience what to be angry about for several hours a day is probably not good for the human brain

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Isn’t that the group erecting new statues of confederate generals in states like Arizona, which wasn’t even a state during the Civil War?

Trump selected bafflingly unqualified women. Should Kristi Noem be tried at The Hague for war crimes? Yes. But who gave her the authority?

It’s important to recognize that women and minorities are punished more severely than their white, male counterparts. Martha Stewart. Elizabeth Holmes, etc.

Why do you think it would be important to “state the obvious” in this context?

They aren’t having a good time, but you’re right. Some people will choose hatred for social belonging in their small social circles. They don’t feel empowered enough to ideologically oppose the tribe. Unfortunately, they don’t realize that support is always conditional.

Don’t let this chud plant misogyny in your head. Once women have thousands of years of cover and failing upwards, plus bodily autonomy, power & economic dominance… then we can extend equal opportunity behavior criticism. Frankly, I’m amazed more women aren’t walking awful assholes.
