Their argument is: rich white people are allowed to do whatever they want, and that includes pedo islands or rounding up the rest in camps.
There is no contradiction, no hypocrisy, no argument that will sway them. The ideology is: power is moral

How many people outside of DC realize that we’re still being occupied by the National Guard? Or, to put a finer point on it, care?
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

I saw Happiness (1998) alone at AFI this year. Someone in the back laughed so hard at ….let’s just say a certain scene starring Dylan Baker…. that everyone else in the theater became palpably upset. You could cut the discomfort with a knife
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
