    Nah it’s a pretty clean message, we are going to consume all of their resources, and put up walls so high they can never accumulate that much again. Like God crumbling the tower of Babel.

      Also, whoever shot and murdered a healthcare CEO in cold blood last year got more praise from the general public than basically anything the Democratic party has done in the last ten years, so yeah, that comment seems pretty out of touch with public sentiment

        That will happen anyway, because it a core component of fascism. It does not matter what is said, it will be abused by the fascists.

        The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. … However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

        Did you ever think they probably should be scared at this point? Fear is a great way to regulate behavior without the need for action. The fascist taught me that.

        They’ll do that no matter what, so we may as well do the right thing in the meantime.
