It's crazy to me whenever I read accounts of stories like these from people who you'd think would be the least impacted demographically speaking, only to find it's endless hoop jumping all the way to the top. You could be a caucasian cis heterosexual man with generational wealth tying your ancestry to the state, who always votes republican and never speaks ill of capitalism, and yet at the first sign of doubting the regime's doublespeak you'll still be cast to the wolves as if you were yet another trans immigrant protesting human rights violations in Gaza.

Tell me it's 1939 without telling me it's 1939.
