This dangerously parallels how political violence helped fascist movements gain power in the 1920s and 1930s. Making opposition physically dangerous helped them weaken resistance. Make no mistake, this is how a society becomes more permissive of fascist violence. The danger has already arrived.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

America not being a signatory to a number of treaties does not mean that international law does not exist. The US is conducting clear war crimes, and boasting about it. They should be treated as a pariah state. They definitely shouldn't be getting a Royal visit.
