I was called a radical in my 20s because of my opposition to Vietnam. I’m now at radical in my 80s because I don’t condemn Mangione. My dad would be proud of me. Thank you, Ken, for liberating the truth.

Isn't "disdain for corporate greed" a normal human reaction?

I don't understand why a police department for a diverse city of at least eight million people seems to be run by people who are so insular, ignorant and reactionary.

The authoritarian sleeper cells are the newly out of the closet deep state. They’ve always been there but had their racist, nazi views suffocated by general logic and decency. We will see exponentially more liberated law enforcement individuals who are anti democracy expose themselves.

What did they say the percentage was of people who support him? It just seems like a huge amount of people to be monitoring all the time at once

Thanks so much for this. I hope they don't decide to train their misguided attentions this way until our numbers explode and the fun begins. Sort of.

"The idea that angry social media posts amount to the beginnings of a violent insurgency against corporate executives is nonsense..."

It doesn't have to be violent. We just have to stop cooperating with the villains. They don't have any power we don't give them.

Let's take the power back.

Cambridge dictionary definition of extremist (Oxford charges money!): "someone who has beliefs that most people think are unreasonable and unacceptable." There are *a lot* of people not upset about this CEO, me included. I mean, I know it's the NYPD and this is par for the course, but this is not how extremism works.

I wonder how many times this narrative will keep shifting into what finally culminates in most of our rights being stripped away? Will it be freedom of speech? Will it be our rights to arm ourselves? I see this being a gateway for all of them. Wake up people.
