Cringe is too powerful of an anti-motivator. Reminds me of when people wouldn’t listen to others because they had tattoos.
People with tattoos have bad taste and poor judgement.

#53> The records also showed undercover agents surveilling a virtual meeting at Hunter College in New York [...] ; a meeting at a labor center in Minneapolis > The documents indicate that agents made audio recordings of the events. For anyone else wondering (particularly if you're accustomed to it) it looks like neither NY nor MN are two-party consent ones for recording things.

The attendance was clandestine and performed by actors that misrepresented themselves to gain an intelligence advantage. I'm not sure what else you would call it.

Imagine using the term "commies" in 2026 and expecting to be taken seriously.
Imagine being incensed by use a pejorative term used towards a movement that almost always killed more people in peacetime than even fascists. Remove outliers like Hitler and Pol Pot and you can drop "almost".
Oh no... Anyway let's feed, house, and heal our population like the Bible says.

#57The US has surveilled political factions that they've considered potentially subversive or corrupt machine politics - right and left wing - for ages. RICO prosecutions against politically motivated corruption are long overdue, and should definitely land on both parties because the grift seems to be the order of the day. But that doesn't happen without actual investigation of the political machine - and incidental local low level conspirators are mostly patsies for the people calling the shots. I applaud the protestors for wanting to change things, but shake my head at the naivete of thinking that being a martyr for the Instagram cameras is the way to do it.

Let's also shoot anyone we don't like with poison gas shells, take hostages from our own population and work a few hundred thousands to death for good measure.
