imagine losing an online argument so thoroughly you have to mobilize paramilitary death squads to cage and kill people

let's not get crazy

So much of our national discourse is framed around the idea that average American has not been to a Thai restaurant. But the median American has a go to order at their preferred Thai restaurant in a strip mall.

If the old robber barons like Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan had a stock ticker showing them nonstop insults from the hoi polloi they too would send the Pinkertons into random Midwestern cities to get into fights with locals.

i don't like it!!!

the things they are doing, these paramilitary squads, there's absolutely no reason for any of it. just spectacle. just a fusillade fired at you. you've been invaded. you have been declared the enemy. there's no reason for this other than that. you and yours are now the enemy. "all of yours"

breaking into random houses in a country full of wingnuts with heavy weaponry sure seems like a quick way to bring on an Event

They have started no-knocking white suburbanites in Minneapolis. That’s the sort of thing that presages a Happening.

they've declared war on us. we aren't part of the plan any longer. in their telling this is no longer your country

they literally want to destroy our "way of life" - the basic notions of voting in your leaders, deliberation over policy choices, schools for your children, home ownership - they cannot abide it any longer. even the sitting vice president is expressly anti american and wants the experiment ended now

there's a desperation to slam the lid shut on our teetering democratic system. theres an urgency because they fear, probably correctly, that their existence has become such that a society of free people can no longer tolerate them. it's their pile of money or us, and they're choosing their money
