Pretty sure they mean million.

Sure. But have you considered that line must go up?

Dude. Like half of our GDP is about selling shit that we pretend exists.

Oh man, you'd be surprised how many Latino white supremacists Nazis there are out there.

Context? Like as a threat to AOC or to ICE?

Yeah. It really doesn't have to be political brain rot anymore.

Maybe it's not in this case...we'll see. But we're going to have cases of complete normies going "nothing left to lose" after their loved ones or friends are taken/killed by ICE.

Imagine finding out your partner/kids were taken from their job/school. You can't. I can't. There is no law or order that matters to people when the "law and order" are the ones doing it.

And at some point, hopefully, we all realize that those people are the sane ones. The people standing by and watching it happen well...

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

I forget who I was listening to or reading that said something like "political doomerism is the last stage of your liberalism before it dies"

Essentially, the point was that as people become radicalized they will learn all of the problems of capitalism and gain class consciousness and then conclude that any action is pointless.

They'll essentially sit at home, talk about activism, but judge both people working within the system as well as people protesting or demanding change from the system. It's a way in which a radicalized class conscious person is held in a state of inaction. Essentially making them useless.

It was a good little one sentence summary of those people. I'll try to remember who said it.

By "left" I'm assuming you mean liberals. "The left" doesn't really have elected politicians. Unless you count Mamdani and he's not even fully elected yet.

Someone's gotta do it eventually. Maybe some radicalized Tesla or SpaceX employee.

Yeah I was gonna say the whistle blowing is searching for videos of the IDF online. They literally make tiktoks of their war crimes set to some awful music track.
