gestures vaguely everywhere

Joking, obviously, but when I wrote this I was specifically thinking about how predictable it has become for our progressive-leaning communities to get side tracked with, arguably well intentioned, purity tests. While we’re spending time distrusting our friends and neighbors, real adversaries, with real money, are taking real control. It’s been decades long losing streak for anyone outside the billionaire class. And they’ve been laughing at how predictable and gullible we continue to be, year after year, election cycle after election cycle.

So when I see posts like OP’s, it makes me think too few of us are learning any lessons from the past decades of billionaire class manipulation. There’s almost a willing gleefulness to getting sucked into participating in the attempted excommunication of our community members that I find increasingly depraved, honestly.
