    yeah, seeing how everyone suddenly went to the streets after seeing their 401K tank was surely disturbing. like, the world could be burning, innocent civilians could be starved and bombed to death and then cremated or put in a mass grave, and foreign governments can be toppled, and people shrug it away. But as soon as their asset portfolio is attacked, that’s when it suddenly matters. Such a disgusting disregard for everything but the self.

      I’ve told this story before, but I’ll never forget demonstrating alongside liberals against the border camps, who then completely switched gears and defended Biden funding even more concentration camps once he took office. They only pretend to care when it’s politically convenient for their Party.

      I like this analogy because it recognizes that we’d still be toast with a Democrat, but the avocado would make it more palatable for people who can afford to ignore atrocities amongst domestic marginalized groups and people in the global south, which is exactly what happened for 4 years under Biden
