I sent you a DM. Not sure if you saw it. Have a potential commission I may need.

What?! The new CEO Humam Sakhnini, who formerly worked at Activision Blizzard is a month in and already making things crap?! Who. Could. Have. Ever. Guessed.

Welp. What are our alternatives folks?

Behind the Bastards took me from a "Universal Healthcare sounds like a good idea" liberal when Obama was running to "Eat the Rich might be a metaphor, but I'd eat a Sackler Family member raw and screaming" leftist. 10/10 do recommend.

I'm gonna use this message to tell you that today was the first time I went to a friend's meeting thanks to your inspiration.

I think there is a distinct possibility he might be one of the few people they won't actually take. He's possibly the Waughluigi Manginoni: universally recognizable as bad by the masses for the same reason, but left untouched by most of the wealthy for fear of being exposed to the same fate.

You are giving folks in government WAAAAY too much credit. Every Democrat out there is still operating under the assumption that they are still playing the game of politics. They see these outrageous actions as tools to fundraise for their "turn" in 4 to 8 years.

They are one hundred percent dogs who caught the car they were chasing. Anonymous anger online is easy, so many leftists on tik tok have proven that, but it takes something more to say the kinds of vitriol they spew to someone's face.

It's going to take work like you've been preaching for years now, of active and direct resistance locally to counter this. We need to treat them like a teen we caught trying to steal from mom's purse, not Hitler in the Weimar Republic.

They are going to legislate the violence they want to ennact to make the dirty work of the actual violence that they want kept at arms length, but there are a heck of a lot fewer of them capable of the violence it takes to actually take the soup away than they think.

The fascists are applying a neo liberal mindset to their ideals. These aren't the starved and shell shocked Germans, these are soft little rich boys, their toadies, and desperate masses they've conned.

As you said in your excellent soup series, they want to take away soup from their enemies.

This is a pattern as old as Eaton College kids building the British empire rather than admit to not liking being abused.

Kids in adult bodies, praised by the leeches around them trying to siphon their wealth, draw infantile pictures of the future unconnected to a reality they've never experienced.

I find I can't exit echo chambers by both sidesing my news reports. Socialism, Libertarianism, and Communism all share community as the root of their ideals, and community isn't written by Buzzfeed, or in the right starter pack; It's found in talking to the weird guy next door about the neighborhood

No see in Idiocracy there was universal health care, the president actively sought to put the smartest person in charge, when people were shown the evidence that water made plants grow they believed it, and sex work was entirely legal. We would be so lucky to have President Comancho.
