I've never been more certain that the insane (faux) progressive language and politics of the last 10 years were part of large COINTELPRO operation to usher in a rightwing swing of the pendulum to authoritarianism and a feudal economy.

From the discourse around Anora and OF, we're engaged in a wild cycle of overcorrection, an endless volley of tit-for tat.
