“Monster Liberty”: That’s how the otherwise excellent closed-captioning service in the auditorium at Pennridge High School interpreted “Moms for Liberty,” while one of several dozen citizens who had waited in line to lambast the group spoke at the podium. A chuckle rose up among the parents in the crowded school board meeting, held on a late August evening after the first day of classes for the Pennridge School District in suburban Bucks County, Pennsylvania. “Fair enough,” one mother whispered to another.

    The same fucks as always. Peter Theil, the Kochs, the Davos’, pick your billionaire. They didn’t become billionaires by being awesome people and y’know, bringing everyone up with them. More like, when their tide was rising, they paid goons to short leash the marina to the docks (which would sink them if the tide rose high enough).

    Who’s the squeaky wheel, who pays them and who stands to benefit.

    Its always the rich behind fascists, because 1. They don’t want the system they’re so capable of gaming to change (unless it cements their position) and B. They are assuming they’ll be above reproach if the fascists win.

    Make no mistake, every billionaire alive would sell us all, and our children, out rather than become a $900 millionaire.
