I’m not either, but they’re commemorative stamps from the 80s.

It’s not really worth it to cut these stamps off and save them, but these stamps are like $1+ each.

Hopefully you’ll be reassured to learn that McKinsey & Company is one of the larger industry players.

Thanks haha but for opsec reasons it has to be a joke.

The main thing for me is how libs nitpick and fight into fake ideas that they think are a ‘progressive middle ground’ which are just extremely evil and unserious. I distinctly remember a lib explaining an elaborate plan of how they would have NATO build a giant wall to enforce a two-state-solution and I just kinda started losing it and showing them pictures of the west bank barrier on my phone. They kept insisting that if NATO ran the wall it would stop israel from expanding.

I think the performative caring about anything gets undercut by how fickle and useless libs are as allies. Maybe a year or two ago I’d say that libs agreeing with the left with trump in office would be a silver lining, but honestly they’re just kinda useless. It seems harder to persuade libs than it is to persuade people entirely disconnected from politics even if they get the performative anti-trump benefit. Idk maybe I’m just in a doomer mood.

The euphemism is for getting pulled into an unmarked van and killed.

Like I’m already “on a list”, but for completely non-political reasons (crimes lol).

imo the site would just be shut down in some way. Many of the state’s domestic repressive functions are more easily carried out by non-state actors. Like FICO score or getting categorized as ‘extremist’ in an HR consulting database. This sort of thing materially pushes people into situations where they’d be arrested for something more mundane.

Other than that, there are other forms of carcerality or social ostrisization if people fall outside of social norms in real life. So maybe in IRL we say “hey isn’t making kids say the pledge of allegiance every day sorta weird and bad?” and someone responds that it would be unamerican not to and that their dad died in iraq or something and that the pledge honors them… and etc etc… suddenly vaguely left people irl who were gonna join the DSA but didn’t ever get around to it are indistinguishable from maoist guerillas because US body politic is ridiculous.

Special purpose vehicles (SPV) and special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) - especially with 704© layers. It goes well with the new Form 7217. Also please get me a job lol
