    It’s like you skimmed their reply and didn’t get it. You certainly didnt refute anything.

    If you can’t see the massive, massive upswing in all these “existing” authoritarian behaviors that has happened in the last 4 months, that is entirely on you.

      Explicitly on the college/professional classes, sure. It’s abundantly clear that the Imperialism of the Periphery is returning to the Core as a Fascist tendency. We’re treating Mahmoud Khalil like he’s Sandra Blande. We’re treating Professor Steve Tamari like he’s Rodney King. We’re losing our ability to distinguish between neighborhoods in the US and those in Baghdad or Tripoli. That’s unforgivable, because that’s not how we’re supposed to treat the Professional Managerial Class in this country.

      All y’all are fighting the wrong people in this thread. We all agree it’s a bad situation and there’s no prize for “best degree of historical nuance in an opinion”. We all agree the enemy is present in the moment.
