How are we gonna eat the rich if we don’t trap them?

Obviously this guy is despicable. But don’t trap people. If he was scheduled to answer questions and it just so happened every question was about Palestine, that’s a different story. That’s just him having to field tough questions.
If a progressive leader was trapped by maga folks sentiment would be very different online.
Even if people are shit, they shouldn’t be trapped as that violates bodily autonomy / consent

You’re not, because that’s tankie Khmer rouge shit.
You’re gonna develop bottom up representation to make their bad behavior impossible via the furthering of progressive candidates. You’re helping with that, yes?

He likely wasn’t trapped, hyperbole is sorta his specialty.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Totally agree

Progressives aren’t supporting genocide.

Never did and never would say that.

Not to mention some of those protests turn into angry mobs. I wonder how antisemitism plays into it.

More than I’d like, but less than is significant.

Anyone who’s name is an anagram for The Reptile invalidates your entire premise, on top of the fact that he’s also probably had at least one of his former boytoy lover’s killed and he’s just generally an awful human being who’s entire goal is emiserate others.

My entire premise is that “we” should hope to be better than someone like him.
The society “we” want champions things like consent and respect.
Sometimes people “deserve” no respect because they have despicable behavior, but inherently “possess” certain respects due to being a human. Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately.
As a detached example: even mass murderers and terrorists deserve a day in court

I’m sorry, but Thiel is way above mass murderers. Him and his ilk are playing Meat Space Gods. Literally deciding all of our fates with none of our input. They are trapping us against our will every single day.

Nah, fuck that. Rich assholes who try to destroy the fabric of our democracy don’t deserve those respects. He wanted to use his money and power to make life miserable for regular people, so booo fucking hooo if he can use his money and power to get away from public opinion.
