This is the "Viva la Muerte" (Long Live Death) mindset. It is the joy of destruction found in the Spanish fascist hero General Millán Astray, who shouted down the philosopher Unamuno in 1936 at Salamanca.

History tells us where this "co-opt or destroy" scheme leads. In 1945, when it became clear he could not own the future of Germany, Hitler issued the "Nero Decree."
He ordered the destruction of his own country's infrastructure. If the nation wouldn't serve him, it didn't deserve to survive him.

And this is how PE guys and VC's and bankers make $100M a year doing absolutely nothing, producing no value whatsoever.
It's why all the tech is so shitty and useless and full of false promises and it's what allows PE's to destroy and cannibalize the few remaining things you like.
Sound familiar?

Here's the full-circle scam
Ultra-wealthy PE's and bankers buy politicians who promise not to tax them
Politicians instead borrow from pension funds to pay for public infrastructure
Pension funds go insolvent and get stuck yield-chasing
Pension funds have to invest in funds managed by said PE's

How are you going to convince 19-year-old lance corporal to defy his entire chain of command when you're on national TV embracing the war criminals who created the legal framework for the whole thing. Alberto Gonzalez should be in prison, at best.

Swastikas are no longer to be considered "hate symbols", only as "potentially divisive" under this new policy.
