In general the ones labeled radicals are by far the least brutal among us. Normalcy is a war economy. Radicalism is placing value on all human life. It’s the great embarrassment of the status quo. Its reliance on brutal, unending, unpredictable death machines as order & normalcy.
So Yet another great example of why this guy is super fuckin’ stupid He’s gonna run for president. He wants to fast track a monopoly into the hands of a media empire that’s expressly interested in dedicating the full force of their resources to crushing specifically him And they will. Mercilessly
Murshed Zaheedwhen it comes down to it - @gavinnewsom.bsky.social bends the knee to big money and billionaires. This time he is bending the knee to billionaire monopolists - pushing for a media merger helping the right wing media project.
