Am I the only one who sees a bright line connecting incel culture with the fear of being revealed as bad at something? I see a lot of similarities between incels and the kind of people who always act like they know better, to the point of 'correcting' noted experts in their fields.

I wouldn't expect them to fire ze missiles, but there's a whole smorgasbord of hybrid options that are well short of outright war.

And yet they're still buying 80-90% of it and having it shipped across the Pacific; though it might have something to do with their rush to stockpile commodities in preparation for guess what.

Personally, I think it would be very funny if they backed down for fear of getting wiped out by huge Democratic turnout and then got wiped out anyway.

Is this a bad time to mention that 80% of Venezuelan oil is bought by China and that they are unlikely to take this lying down?

Ehhhhh, ICE & CBP culture wasn't *so* different under Biden. They weren't turned loose to rampage, but there were a litany of abuses that went unpunished. I will agree that you didn't hear about them as often.

You mean someone in the GOP actually asked what would happen to them if they bowed to fascist death threats and tried to engineer total control of the legislature in a state where only 31% of registered voters are Republican and where 40-45% of households own firearms?

Yeah, it's why they'll take anyone with a pulse for la Migra. If they can piss enough people off at once, they can take random acts of resistance and synthesize them. But even after hiring every racist and angry divorced dad they can find, they still don't have the numbers.
