[M]ost people, if you can get them one-on-one in a relaxed social setting, will be fairly chill and generous on most political issues. However, those same people, in a march or mob, [...] will take much harder stances out of pure oppositional aesthetics or attitude.
In other words,
A person is smart. People are dumb panicky dangerous animals and you know it.
That is why I support individualism. Erasing the self to identify only as a cell in the body of a collective is dangerous. When that group is defined by birth, such that non-members are permanently and irrevocably other, it is more dangerous. When this involves punching down rather than up, the danger reaches 'holding a neutron reflector over a plutonium core with a screwdriver' levels. (Seriously, Louis Slotin, what the expletive-deleted were you thinking?)

After all, she is an infamous alt-right icon!
This is complete speculation, but perhaps that's why she might be a bit sensitive about such matters?

...saved [G]ermany.
That's an odd way of describing 'got his country squashed like a bug and occupied and split in half for 4+ decades'.

There are outright communists on the left.
Who spend most of their time denouncing each other.

If crime-fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part of it, do they?

I think Scott raised a very valid point on Antichrist ID 101: They're supposed to have "Antichrist" literally spelled out on their forehead.
Where was this?

It rarely falls below what the worker would have had if the company was successful.

I suspect that there would be less envy in the world if people got the impression that those above them were trying to pull everyone else up to their level rather than trying to keep them down.

I feel like a much better target are the hordes of laptop-class, bullshit email jobs these giant companies seem to employ in droves. [...] I have to imagine Starbucks has hordes of these silly positions whose jobs consist largely of sending emails and having Zoom meetings that have little to no effect on the overall functioning of any individual coffee stand.
Probably why that video got such a backslash....

The quoted statement rests on a premise that is not true; Mr Exotic is not capable of causing a man to be attracted to men, who was not previously thus.

Maybe driving the company into the ground was the goal, they're raiding it for its assets.
Okay, but that's worse. You do get how that's worse, right?

Nah, if anything scrap the $100 and $50 bills
The total at US grocery stores can easily go into the triple digits.
larger denominations just help with money laundering
And with being able to buy food without needing the approval of one's bank.

He sees that LADWP has trampled the endangered Braunton’s milkvetch.
As opposed to wildfires, which apparently pose no danger at all to the apparently fireproof plant....
What exactly would happen to a blue whale in this scenario...?
And what would happen to the pot of petunias?

...if Joe exotic can turn men gay, it stands to reason someone, somewhere, can turn them straight.
And if my aunt has wings, it stands to reason that she doesn't hit her tail on the ground.

Yeah, they're very powerful. Once you hear their message- powerful enough to be condensed into a single word- all of a sudden your clothes (and banners, and even your cars on occasion) change color and you're instantly batting for the other team.
Roses are red

I'd put them in the 'Jesus-influenced' circle, or possibly add an intermediate circle between it and the outermost category.

religions that have nothing to do with Jesus whatsoever: Hinduism
Ackchyually, some Hindus consider Jesus to have been an avatar of Vishnu.

Counter-offer: You concede that most Communists were, even at their worst, less evil than the Nazis, and I will acknowledge that some Communists were as evil as the Nazis (e. g. the Khmer Rouge).

Crowley: replaces customer support with dodgy LLM chatbots
Same thing happened in the other direction; conservatives equated anything other than mass Dickensian poverty with Communism, and many responded "so ve it".
