It's fascinating to watch all of the powers that be fighting this ownership change so hard. I wonder why they found control of Twitter so important..?

English is my second language, so, I might be missing some nuance. Indeed you are, but had I known English was your 2nd language it would have made more sense and I probably wouldn't have even corrected you since your English

You said: "Because part of the process of saying that something is wrong is being willing to learn that maybe you are the wrong one." So which is it? Are they wrong for sure, or are you willing to learn that you may be th

The reason people don't try to pull their money out all at once is because their deposits are insured, because their bank pays into an insurance pool. Only up to $250k.

In my analogy the fox is war profiteers and the hen house is the rest of society. ISW is always pro-war. They are Neocons, it is a foundational part of their ideology. Any drivel coming from that place needs to be viewed through that lens.
