The comparison to a Nazi flag is absurd. A better comparison would be if an agent had a straight price flag on their desk. And no, the agent would not have lost their job under this regime for such a display.

So the hope is that things are bad enough that voters finally learn their lesson but not bad enough that their votes don't matter....

More like food is expensive as hell and so I can't really afford to loose my pay check. Which is why organizing often starts as mutual aide.

I mean there are so many options to write ironic things on bullet casings for a man like that. Second brain worm, the final jab, the cure, the list just goes on....

Religion is open to interpretation just like art. If someone interprets art and feels empowered to be a shitty person then they or the art is wrong. I don't have to "believe" anything particular about the art to arrive at that conclusion, the same is true for religion.

They’ve helpfully characterized “the five principal forces of antiscience “ into alliterative groups: (1) plutocrats and their political action committees, (2) petrostates and their politicians and polluters, (3) fake and venal professionals—physicians and professors, (4) propagandists, especially those with podcasts, and (5) the press. The general tactic is that (1) and (2) hire (3) to generate deceitful and inflammatory talking points, which are then disseminated by all-too-willing members of (4) and (5).

About as much as I love having 9 people appointed for life that can overrule that voting system in case it does actually let the majority win.
