Yup.. what we have now is essentially an amalgamation of mini socialist states (mega-corps) under one monolithic federal state. In classic fashion, the gov't has failed it's *one* job in a quasi-capitalist society, which is ensuring competition exists and killing monopolies/duopolies. Remember when Ma Bell was broken up?

Remember when they actually used to break up monopolies? Ma Bell remembers..

Where is this? Looks like the rockies.

This makes me irrationally angry

I suppose it could amplify if it's just a hat lol
If you were to wrap your entire body in tinfoil it would probably prevent it, but you'd also suffocate 😂

If there's anywhere I would expect to see this... it would Toronto. 🤮

Good.
Apart from being racist af, genocidal psycopaths, they are also every single anti-semitic trope rolled into one organization.

I live somewhere similar, and can say I've met both.
Like any group, you'll have the passive ones (technically religious but not practicing), the ones that practice but still hold some contradictory views to the religion, and the fundamentalists.

This is something I've noticed about a lot of the "smart" people, like in tech, where I work.
Most of them are book smart and highly specialized in one area of expertise. But "book" is where their smarts end. The rest of their existence is one big exercise in the Appeal to Authority logical fallacy.
I had the advantage of growing up in some interesting/sketchy circumstances which required "street" smarts. Like for example, knowing when you're in danger, or when you're being swindled, taken advantage of, or manipulated... and this sense is totally missing from most of the people I work with. It's so surreal.
