As per the foundational liberal thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "Eat the rich". Unless you meant neoliberal. Wealth flight is a neoliberal concern.

Fires happen all the time. Owners probably didn't maintain the warehouse since they couldn't pay their employees a fair wage. Where is the fire supression system?

The alleged arsonist could have been caught up in the rush of an already existing fire when the video was filmed. Blaming anyone for a warehouse without proper fire suppression seems negligent.

Violence can look similar, but motive matters.

The alleged arsonists motives are likely about class war and not "The Turner Diaries" like Mcveigh. We do not know enough yet about the motives of any alleged arsonist, but I would NOT say Mcveigh was morally right.

During the last Presidential election, Utah's numbers did not shift right. Historically Mormon's vote as a block.

Emigration from other states is changing voting behavior in Utah with only 50% of the current population being LDS. Emigration might even be moving the state rightward since right radicals leave states like California for Republican states like Utah or Idaho.

A problem Mormon's fail to understand is that they are not seen as Christian by Evangelicals. Thereby when religious purges come, Mormon's are on the menu.

Liberals are caught up in great man theory. Project 2025 didn't care which conservative reactionary was elected. Stop giving Trump credit for The Heritage Foundation's work. I don't care where monsters live. I'm down to slay them.

I criticize all camps including those of the states: Germany, USA, China, Japan and Russia. Anarchists don't like state monopolies on violence. Your favorite state sucks. History is important.

Authorotarian right wing people believe in a natural heiraechy in which they put a public strong man at the top. His party is reactionary in directing government function. There is typically a focus on some enemy within which must be removed from society to make it pure again. This is where genocide has occurred historically.

The Socialism part of National Socialism was an appeal to the working class in Germany. A brand name may not be related to the product. I can see how some would confuse the strong man's, "I am the state", as public ownership of the means of production.

I have made things with my hands for which I was not paid. I even gathered the materials. I am bad at capitalism.

There are rumblings from the administration to expand gun restrictions to trans individuals for mental health reasons. The second amendment is for everyone (2A4E). Get to know neighbors and be that Militia the Founding Fathers expected for a free State. If they can take guns from trans people, they can take guns from anyone.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Fight or flight. If not afforded flight then options become limited.

Star Trek is an example of a post scarcity society. I worry about persisting military rank instead of a horizontal power structure.
