I haven’t heard anyone caring. The people who would be upset are busy with culture war screeching. I think the Biden admin did something very astute by upending Trump’s entire social policy within the last month - it gives a bunch of left leaning groups a win to attribute to him, and it pulled focus from these folks who can’t seem to maintain their anger at any one thing for more than a week.

Everyone I know who watches politics from the right is up in arms over the title ix stuff. None of them are paying attention to Congress right now.

Especially if it’s peaceful protest.

Gotta build the narrative that these are disruptive individuals. If they won’t do it themselves, the universities and states will just lie and hope that it will be enough to sway public opinion against the protestors.

Elon would lie and give them the coordinates for schools and hospitals.

People will seriously scream that you can’t assume malice when stupidity explains it, but at the same time we have Occam’s razor - the simplest explanation is usually correct.

And if these people were stupid, sometimes they’d benefit the American people and harm Russian oligarchs. But the evidence shows close to 0 help for Americans, and every action they take aids or provides cover for kleptocrats here and abroad. The simplest explanation is that this is their intention.

Literally only people on whom propaganda is working.

That’s the problem with the security council. They’ve been using their veto to spit on the world community since the UN’s inception.

Is North Korea supplying these too, or will they just mass arrest and conscript prisoners?
