To what?

Subversive and degenerate elements weakening our nations.

But those are the ones promoting hatred (so that the 1% can divide the 99%).

I think we define "subversive" differently. To you, it's 4 guys in white robes in Arkansas who've completely captured NPR's imagination. To me, it's black people, suburban teachers, nurses, etc.

facts ≠ opinions

It's a fact that BigCorp and wealthy groups are paying for the propaganda of hatred, to get people like us to argue over facts and opinions. Those are the people in control, not blacks, and certainly not teachers and nurses. AND WTF is wrong with people who see teachers and nurses as enemies?!?!?! Really fucked up. Where are you reading about that? What are the websites? No one ever said anything like that 5 years ago and earlier. It's part of the propaganda by the 1%. Not my opinion. Read all about it. Look at the owners of your favorite websites. They're not looking after you. They've killed the American dream. The 99% built that American dream.

This is incoherent to me. What are you advocating? We need hate speech bans to control the 1%? You're basically giving the 1% power to control speech if you do that. Jennifer Pritzker, Martine Rothblatt, Soros, etc.- a hate speech ban isn't going the rein these people in. They made their fortunes manipulating minds and languages. They hide behind hate speech bans.

"Jennifer Pritzker is a hideous man in a dress who ought to be beaten."

"Martine Rothblatt is a creepy child molester who wants to depopulate the planet."

"Klaus Schwab is a traitor who should be executed."

Those are examples of NECESSARY hate speech.

This material obsession with the "1%" is your generation's mental tic, though. I don't give a flip how much money Martine Rothblatt has. That kind of shit really makes anyone over 40 just tune you out. You need to get off TikTok. You are a generation of assistant managers at Terminix flashing $100 bills. It's vulgar, and it's your problem not mine.

I don't want a yacht or a jet anyway. I just think Martine should be excoriated and even beaten, because that's what a thriving society does to fuckers like that. He's a weed in our garden.

If you remove those three names - because they're relatively unimportant - there are numerous millionaires funding the propaganda dividing the 99%, by telling them that teachers and nurses are ruining their lives. The same propaganda suggests that you focus on 3 individuals, rather than the crooks paying for the propaganda, dividing the 99%.

Thanks for the info.

I honestly don't think 1% of Americans know who Rothblatt is. Schwab might be a little higher. Soros is probably flirting with 25% name recognition.

That said, my major problem with "muh 1%" is that they're not ideologically united or involved in some kind of conspiracy. The only thing that unites them is "they made more money than you."

I'm not prepared to fault people just for that. I'll stick to individuals, or at least discrete industries or racial groups.
