A billionaire could tell me "Go work in the field!" but he'd need a camera to watch me, someone watching that camera, a police force to make me do it, and then money to pay for all of it.
That requires logistics and bureaucracy, no matter what these morons think. Someone has to actually *do* things.

That said, even their technocratic fever dreams will fail. These billionaires think they can just *tell* people to do stuff in their fiefs they'll "own", but they'll quickly find out that you still need people below you to actually make it work. Surveillance and fear only gets you so far.

Fascist regimes are notoriously inefficient and bloated. Yet that's the irony. Even when your policies are horrible, you still need someone to make sure the paperwork is filled out, stamped, and filed in triplicate to make sure the horrible policies can actually happen.

Actually if that's the case, I wonder if their bullshit "No Sharia Law" law could be used to justify overturning other shit that Florida does. Then if they try to do the same thing on the Federal level, do it there.

Use their own weapons against them.

I'm going to gaslight you and tell you this isn't a major problem we shouldn't try to address.

Because types like that would absolutely stand back and stand by as the disabled are ripped from their homes by the government to be forcibly thrown into camps/institutions and executed. They are only doing this to not have to make changes to their own lives and continue to be selfish pricks.

I'm not saying there aren't actual advocates for the disabled, there are. They're not who I am speaking about. I am talking about types who want to justify their own selfish behavior (such as for example, using DoorDash) when someone calls them out, and they hide behind the disabled to defend it.

The most dangerous thing for the disabled, is someone who is 'speaking up for the disabled' in a very fake-woke manner, yet who otherwise does nothing to make the lives of people with disabilities better. Especially if they're only (pretending to) do it after being called out for something else.

I wonder what kind of song she'll be singing if the GOP brings back Jim Crow.

Honestly if you really want a new shooter to play Waj, find one made by a smaller studio or even an outright indie company.

Fuck EA, like even more than before, with them soon to be (if not already) owned by Saudi Arabia and Kushner.

Nah 'America First' was always true. The falsehood came from these morons thinking it included them. It was always more like "America's 1%".
