Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I were a multinational CEO, I’d be hesitant about investing in a nation where foreigners never know if they will in effect be kidnapped by masked thugs who supposedly work for the government but are clearly running amok .... I’d be tempted to consider such a nation a shithole country. Paul Krugman

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
