The point is to demoralize. Nothing more, nothing less.
It’s performative cruelty.

How to get ‘the generals that Hitler had.’

From the same era. Everyone hated the skinheads at the ‘Antenna Club’ (Memphis), and when they would get into the scrum, the elbow throws became sharper and often drew blood. ‘Nazi punks, Nazi punks, f’ off!’

Do you honestly think Kash Patel is going to pursue that charge?

Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. Same playbook. Take the intellectuals that could threaten propaganda messaging and autocratic capture 'off the board.' The big difference, so far, is the messaging resistance is hard to limit or control in diffuse media, assuming 1st Amendment rights continue to hold.

It's about suppressing dissent among people with the intellectual prowess to be more serious threats to fascism/autocracy.

Looking for someone to blame about the public being 'shielded' from important mental health information about the nature of the threat? Look no further than Jeffrey Lieberman. www.madinamerica.com/2020/04/muzz...

It's true. When there is news that T knows is negatively impacting his 'base's' opinions of him, he makes an outrageous statement that placates them because it 'owned the libs' or causes 'TDS' (i.e., cruelty-related pos. reinforcement). The 'base' then forgets why they were pissed like clockwork.

The President’s father suffered and died from late-life dementia complications, but typical of T’s pathological narcissism & antisocial PD, even that family history doesn’t evoke sympathy or concern for gutting NIA grants and programs. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Do tell. I thought the G fund was just Treasury notes. What are those going to be worth when the US defaults on the debt in less than 30 days?

At this point, ‘unintentional’ should not be the default assumption.

For the curious, if you bunch your toes or cause some sort of pain during the polygraph baseline, the remainder of the test is pretty much worthless. Not that it was ever great in the first place.

If H5N1 (Bird Flu) mutates to allow human-to-human transmission everyone will be having a come-to-Jesus moment.
It will make SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) look like a walk in the park.
~35-50% case fatality rate. And, not just the old.

Forced into battle because good people ignored the threat (or refused to believe it).
