Okay everyone, I gotta run. Thank you all for your wonderful questions and your kind words! Lots of love, can't wait to do this again in the future 🥰

lol we do not, but you better believe we'll drop an emergency episode when he kicks the bucket

Surprisingly little. Some death threats every now and again, but always via email, never in real life. So far so good!

Yeah if you guys are thinking of relocating to China I'd say go for it. So many cool places. The best we can do here is look at the example of the war on terror. People who "looked liked terrorists" were the target of extreme prejudice and frequently the target of hate crimes. Ask around in lefty communities what actions were taken to educate people, or protect their targeted comrades. There's no easy answer, unfortunately. The US propaganda machine is incredibly powerful, and you'll never be able to fully defeat the manufactured hate.

Realistically probably Mayor Pete, but I'm hoping it's Christie

I'm glad you like the channel! We certainly have an uphill battle to face in the imperial core. I don't think there will ever be a moment where class consciousness overtakes the deeply ingrained ideology we've been fed for the last hundred years. Our job is to do the best we can. Fight fascism when it appears, educate our friends, family, coworkers, build resilient communities, and be prepared to weather the coming storm of warmongering and reactionary hate. As the US empire wanes, it will continue to lash out ever more violently. The people with the most to lose - those on the receiving end of the violence in the global south, will be the torchbearers of revolution. All we can do is help in whatever little ways we can.

Sorry for the slight pause in answering questions, friends. Had a minor crisis to resolve. I'm back and will tackle the rest now!

Hmmm, you may not have long to wait 👀

Had a bad experience with one of the ProleWiki people (I think it was prolewiki at least). He was in my CPUSA chapter and was one of those very sus patriotic socialists, and some screenshots of his chats came out that confirmed my suspicions

I have a stone slab over the pit that I roll back to give them some exposure to the sun every day or two

I’d sooner die than have another thought
