Depressingly, also Fetterman.

And now you, the mainstream media, are amplifying it and giving it oxygen.

It’s like y’all never learned the old Usenet adage: “don’t feed (quote) the trolls”.

“If everyone is covered in mud, it makes it less obvious that you’re covered in shit.”

This is Liz and her cohort trying to “both sides!!” away the behaviour they incited.

It’s crab-bucket PR: if they can get enough of the media saying how bad the left is, it makes the right-wing pogroms less horrifying.

Trump did the same thing post-Charlottesville, conflating BLM and Antifa with the rich-setting, “Jews will not replace us” chanting, protestor-merdering neo-nazis who supported him.

This is very dangerous.

That much malignant narcissism in one place could form a singularity and an ensuing black hole.

Do they?

Because their actions imply otherwise.

There's a solution for this: socialized medicine.

It works literally everywhere else in the world.

Either PBS or NPR had a thing a few years back where they’d read sections of the Bill of Right on air, as part of Independence Day celebrations.

The right wing folks who heard it thought it was communist propaganda.

I mean, other than Exxon, Shell or BP.

And the Knesset.

And Putin.

But other than that!

I know it seems weird to think about this now, but back when Mandela was being released, the conservative establishment was calling him a terrorist and insisting that we still needed to support the apartheid government In South Africa against terrorist communists like Mandela.

Reagan and Thatcher were both quite explicit about it.

So this really is nothing new. The Right is always going to back the powerful against the powerless, and will always come down hard on any person or group that challenges the "natural order".

I hate to say it, because it sounds like conspiracy-mongering, but the reason is "Money".

A lot of people want the narrative to go a certain way, and those people have a lot of money and thusly a lot of influence. That they're losing control of the narrative has caused them a kind of narcissistic injury, and they're lashing out.

I was going to say.

I mean, there's a good chance they might wait a while in triage and parking can be expensive, but that's really about it.

So Ukraine should get the Soviet nukes back that they have up, right? Right?
