When I lived in SF, the natives were pretty chill and openminded...even the super-leftists. And there were actually a decent amount of conservatives mixed in.
It's definitely when you get off the peninsula, especially eastward, that you start seeing the ghetto, gonna-fight-you-at-the-club mentality.
This is the problem. Commies actively seek out and destroy everything different from them. If you let even one of them continue to exist in an organization, they will undermine the existing power structure while manipulating others to their cause.
Once the commies have a majority sway, they then make sure to eliminate any hint of opposition because they assume that others will want to seize power in the exact same way that they did.
Communism is the political-economic avatar of centralized, authoritative control. If anyone wants to rule the world, communism is the way they will do it.
Big Tech is THE way to control all information, thus controlling minds, thus controlling nations, thus controlling the world.
The two go hand in hand.
Furthermore, while communists didn't start the tech, but they transformed small tech into Big Tech because they have always understood the importance of information control. By nature, they originated as a minority seeking to enslave the majority, so their pathway to power has always been through perception not brute force. It's happened the same way in Russia, China, and, as we're finally realizing, the USA.
Global domination is the end goal. Communism and its variation, socialism, are just the means to the end.
In my experience when you catch a corrupt person doing something wrong, their first response is to hit you with anger while also claiming unjust victimization.
If they're caught dead-to-rights, they'll fall back to victimization with a little "I'm the unsung hero here".
Look up the Karpman Drama Triangle.
Something interesting to add is that if you look at Trump's language right before the election, he was coming straight out and saying that he was going to burn them down after he won.
Same with the Barr delays and pretending to be disappointed that the report would only come out after the election.
Trump intentionally scared the shit out of them so that, in their minds, they had no option but to cheat at all costs.
That's what the regulation says, but the fact that they're zooming it means they're already breaking their own rule.
This is like how it's illegal to wear a mask in a bank, but they now tell you that you have to wear a mask in a bank.
