(11,282 posts)I intend to hide behind my preferential veneer (white, married home owner) and let them assume I am on the team.
I will do maximum damage from within and they'll NEVER suspect me for it.

(2,937 posts)In this gun-crazy red small southern town, we absolutely have to hide in plain sight. We even officially changed our voter registration from Democrat. We did not go all the way to R, but are now unaffiliated and can prove it with the registration cards if they come to our door guns in hand. So many businesses here are blatantly pro-trumplots of banners in the windows. Of course we avoid them.

The elderly, sick, disabled poor, poor children will die without having to build camps.
It is meant to look like a carnival reality show while horrible things are being done.

(1,212 posts)that the nazis did not implement but tsf has mentioned. Death matches, arena combat.
tsf floated the idea that refugees could have MMA teams.... could fighting to the death be that far behind?
Fuck it.... no need to care for the environment or repair our damaged earth, just reduce the population to near zero (for the untermench) leave just enough to run the machines and take out the trash. But I guess robots could do that too.

(1,212 posts)Could be a closet liberal with an occasional kind thought.
Should be "white, male, straight, christian and a hate-filled ignorant shithead." Then one would be safe.

(15,593 posts)The current crew the MAGA are taking orders from are playing "Last Man Standing".
That's the philosophy of the "CEO ruler".
Turn everyone below them into disposable possessions, then start playing the boardroom games to decide who's going to be in charge while they feast in the ruins.
Their playbook, "Atlas Shrugged" was what anyone with half a brain could see was simplistic dreck. The "Technocrats" living in their lucite STEM bubbles since the 1990's are reenacting an even stupider take on it than originally written.

(10,362 posts)He did a good thing banning Trump with his crazy ass Covid comments and stop the steal BS. Then he let that Hitler wannabe back on AND now shovels $25 million into Trumps bank account as an apology for banning him.
He could have beat Trumps fat ass in court in five minutes over his claimed BS "free speech". In fact if Fuckerberg would have counter sued, Trump would have dropped that suit in a second.

PS. I wish racial divisions weren't as strong and persistent as they sadly are with some people.
Such red-herring issues are harming the formation of class consciousness, which IMHO is the only way forward for our oligarchic republic, socially speaking.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
