Not to dogpile, but also the Artemis Fowl series is great if you're looking for additional alternatives (apologies if you're well acquainted with it)

Yikes on innumerable bikes. I remember her scabbing and then trying to host a "debate" with the starving grad students about it.

I've heard some frankly shocking sentiments about unhoused people from Democrats living in very blue cities - I think they believe that, because they're on the "right side," they can't ever hold bigoted opinions.

No. What Nancy Pelosi is doing is violence - not the protestors throwing paint.

Then I'm honestly confused how it could be relevant or useful, since (a) it's not a possible scenario, and even a direct answer wouldn't speak to real issues, and (b) the original post you're replying to was just commenting on the use of "Putin's behind it all" to avoid dealing with valid critiques.
