So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL.
For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter.
Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

Here's interview with US citizen scanned by ICE's facial recognition tech. Walking home from gym, authorities come over. He says he's a citizen. Put him in car. Only release after scanning his face

How a US Citizen Was Scanned With ICE's Facial Recognition Tech
Jesus Gutiérrez told immigration agents he was a U.S. citizen. Only after they scanned his face, did the agents let him go.

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile?

Casually announcing plans to murder American citizens for wrongthink.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

To drive this home; when Kusanagi is trying to figure out why so many people treated to assassinate the Superintendent General of Police because a threat was broadcast, Aramaki says "In a play, even the audience is part of the performance". Kusanagi dismisses the thought but he was 100% correct
fwiw, the trilogy of GITS: SAC, Lain, and MGS2 have a similar overlapping message: massive information connectivity between people produces abnormal and highly contagious phenomena

To say Americans abhor political violence is a lie. We reveled in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. We reveled in the drone war. We reveled in J6. We funded the Gazan genocide. Many revel in the terroristic actions of using masked govt agents to abduct immigrants and citizens alike in broad daylight.
