raffy, no foul intended toward you. Activism and political partisanship (which I find to be a reason why nothing gets better) sometimes has overlap. Your "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 "𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴" (𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳-𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘴)" was implicitly partisan so it did have something to do with allowing me to use such an explicitly (mentioned parties by name) example of conservative activism. Where we draw a line in how we think of it is separated by a broad and blurry line.

You mention "Conservative billionaires." Are they conservative? They own the media which they use effectively to shape public opinion. How does it tilt? A big part of that is to divide people with common interest (the poor and working class of all "races". As George Carlin famously said, "The owners don't give a f*k about you!" they just want to keep us divided so we won't get together and com for them with pitchforks and torches. It has always been that way. When financial ends were just waving at each other, rather than meeting, and we lived in an edge of town rented mobile home, who did I have more in common with, an economically stressed black family or "the owners"? Promotion of the racial divide is all about preventing us asking ourselves that.

During the p̶a̶n̶d̶e̶m̶i̶c̶ panic, which party enthusiastically destroyed small businesses with the shutdown, as if the covid virus was not a danger in large chain grocery stores, Walmart, Costco or for Amazon workers? Small businesses that were the result of 2nd mortgages on the owner's home and their life's dream. Who benefited from that? How do people become multimillionaires on a congressman's pay other than them knowing who the winners and losers of their legislation will be? Who always seems to benefit and who gets screwed? I see the Ds and Rs as partners in these crimes while making suckers out of the people (that video spoke to that). Is it activism or partisanship do call that stuff out?

Depending upon the issue we are discussing, I may appear to be left or right but given the lack of logic for why the left right issues are on the side they are on, I think that people who line up on all issues with a political tribe have been conned. Things are complex and rarely simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker.

I am normally loath to put a link to something I've written but rather than cut and paste I'll give you this on why I wrote that last paragraph. https://medium.com/@dmurray110/the-doom-of-political-parties-acec668393df
