It's just absolutely bonkers that they're using a gun game to campaign while disallowing gun use. You may as well partner with the NFL and then ban tackling, or host a Monopoly game while banning money.

Ad soon as they go public, their product is their share price. And even before then, since most growing private companies seek out private investment long before going public.

They want the power fantasy of everyone having to listen to them while never having to listen to anybody else

No, it's not "anyone who invests". The change is only for capital gains above $250,000. If you're reporting $250k or less in capital gains each year, you see no change whatsoever.

What retail investors are making those kinds of realized returns?

The only thing that seems to have changed is that he stopped pretending in public. Fired his PR people or something. Interviews with people who have... experienced him first hand point to his behaviour being consistent and repugnant since he was in his early 20s.

There is no mixed bag. Just the desire in people who once believed in him to pretend that they didn't enable a toxic narcissist.

Is storming the land by force with a larger group of armed people on the list, or is that too traditional?

You know what's fun? If you have perception and stealth related stats for the PCs on your GM screen, you don't even need to inform them that they're making checks. And when they hear the dice roll, they'll reflexively assume you're rolling for other, unseen creatures in the area.

Gets em good and paranoid.

Just because they failed last time, doesn't mean they'll fail next time.

Free speech is important. Every opinion should be heard and considered.

Not content-sharing with a website also isn't in any way a violation or stifling of free speech. Lemmygrad still exists. If you want to know what they're saying, you can go see it.

Freedom of speech does not guarantee an audience, and all that.

Look, the guy has a name. The least we can do is call him Pierre when we talk about him.

Zoe Bee had a pretty good video on the Parents Rights stuff, too: https://youtu.be/mNOmFBw1I_M?si=btywuWSuG9ESJefB

And Shaun took on Andrew Tate recently: https://youtu.be/y6_TOFy3k6k?si=wFGX0fOYwinGLtRA

Shaun also has a notorious video discussing The Bell Curve, which is very, very good. The Bell Curve is a cornerstone of alt-right bullshit, since it's one of the foundational books for "scientific race realism": https://youtu.be/UBc7qBS1Ujo?si=YoqG8dJd9g4U8B5h

Here's Unlearning Economics taking on Jordan Peterson and his views on gender discrimination: https://youtu.be/LKc_8fT6pGc?si=px5EupxJ7w3hslTG

Shaun again, this time discussing PragerU: https://youtu.be/EM7BgrddY18?si=NhawD6OoYbwiPr2t

This one's less direct, but still actually relevant to toxic masculinity and conspiracy mindsets -- Thought Slime discussing Gary Vee: https://youtu.be/OVE8J8dwJ5E?si=7h5wEQPsjhMjBd63

Here's We're in Hell discussing toxic masculinity in North America: https://youtu.be/MsEmOQeBcRA?si=Vo5S_iDaXlCV6IR4

And getting a little more high level about things, here's Innuendo Studios (the Alt-Right Playbook guy) discussing the origin of conservatism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4CI2vk3ugk&t=333s which is itself an appendix to his Alt-Right Playbook episode, Always a Bigger Fish

These should give you at least a starting point, and help you build up a video history that will direct YT's recommendation engine away from the shit you're trying to counter.

No, don't you get it? She's actually the rightful Governor, senator, congresswoman, mayor, sheriff, dog catcher, and four city councillors.
