A form of protest, perhaps, but probably not what OP was thinking of.

That's against Nazis. Not a lot of people knew about the Holocaust outside of Germany.

- Comment on FTC removes Lina Khan-era posts about AI risks and open source 4 days ago:
As we can see, Biden (and we can assume also his would-be successor Harris) was just another Democrat beholden to corporate interests. He used Lina Khan to further the appearance of caring about consumers and working on their behalf.

What if you have had countless complaints and a few restraining orders, are you supposed to lie or not?
- Comment on [USA] Is "there are ICE agents roaming the streets" a good reason/excuse to avoid going outside? Or is it just a part of reality that you have to learn to accept? 6 days ago:
What the heck is this? A person who thinks their small business will survive the economic climate ahead is a moron?

I note you didn't attack the substance of what was said, just who it was paraphrasing.

- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
Under capitalism, companies do what their owners want them to do. The owners can choose to try to grow, to shrink, to sell, or to close.
Publicly owned companies have shareholders, and the shareholders usually want the company to grow so their investment grows. Shareholders can have other values, but anyone can become a shareholder.
Under non-capitalist systems, the government might own some or all companies. Then the companies do whatever the party in power wants. The party in power probably doesn't have time to run all the companies, so they give some level of independence. They can reign that back whenever they like.
The most common motivation in non-capitalist systems is probably greed and growing personal wealth of party leaders via corruption under that system. Luckily, the people can vote in a different party and/or protest against party corruption except in all real-world cases, where that is banned or suppressed.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 3 weeks ago:
In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, "pussy" is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to "bitch."

Sport of the future.
- Comment on if we all lived within close proximity of sock processing facilities we'd have fewer problems with socks 3 weeks ago:
I don't want to sell socks, buy socks, or process socks as a career. I don't want to sell socks bought or processed, or buy socks sold or processed, or process socks sold, bought, or processed, or repair socks sold, bought, or processed.
You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 3 weeks ago:
Didn't Epstein's prostitution ring include adult women? You could be a client of Epstein and not rape children.
