If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Someday you, too, could have the moral fortitude to look upon a years-long rape circus organized by the nation's most powerful elites and declare, "The people upset about this are speaking about it the wrong way."

Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.

![“And so that is first and foremost giving everybody the joys of creating music and this is a huge departure from how it is now," he continued. "It’s not really enjoyable to make music now [...] It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you need to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music.”
Interviewer Harry Stebbings followed this by asking if the scenario was comparable to running, which many people find difficult to begin with, but pursue, improve and grow to love. "Most people drop out of that pursuit because it's hard," Shulman replied. "I think that the people you know that run, this is a highly biased selection of the population that fell in love with it."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:brgzzc3whw24y5w7wl3hcfhn/bafkreiej2hpxus4snifnvxxn4cb6ejqgnmpdkusix6bc2w3xbeyfxy7kku@jpeg)

We have 500 op-eds about how Democrats should somehow ensure no one in the country with lefty vibes ever says anything that's not strictly on message. It could alienate voters!
Meanwhile, the President of the United States, God-Emperor of the GOP, just said "quiet, Piggy" to a reporter on camera.

Perseverance isn’t an individual myth—it’s a collective truth. We rise because someone held the door, lifted the load, or refused to let us fall. In a country obsessed with lone-wolf narratives, none of us get anywhere alone, and every success is built on community power. #Pinks #Momsky

Extreme wealth allows people to live in such a way that they only ever have to interact with others who cater to them.
That kind of king-of-my-castle existence breeds a sense of entitlement that quickly turns to hostility when wealthy people face even the slightest of pushback.

It kind of depends what classes he's teaching. If it's an intro class absolutely easy enough to sub someone in. If it's something more idiosyncratic, maybe less so.
