People who see other humans as a source of exploitation, driven by extreme competition, versus those who are community minded.

Yes I had to warn my cousins about waving their phones around in public. Other than that they had a great time in London. Seeing how excited they were, some tube passengers - shock horror - even struck up conversations with them with one explaining the depth of the tunnels.

Medical masks were never designed to protect the wearer — and leading safety authorities are finally saying so. Only respirators (like N95s) qualify as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Read more: whn.global/whn-joins-in....

On February 28, 1933, the day after the Reichstag Fire, the Reichstag Fire Decree was issued.
Among other things it banned all protest and criticism of the Government.
This is exactly the intent of the Antifa ban, a ban so vague that it can be applied to anyone.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Hubby just made a good point. "I hope they don't televise Charlie Kirk's funeral."
The British media had better not. Most people in the UK had never heard of him before he got shot and there is way too much coverage about him as it is. Let the MAGAs have their martyr but leave us out of it.
