I believe the vast majority of these are privileged people whose family wealth will shield them from legislation they don't want to be subject to.

Or just white cis straight males, who will be protected from much of it as well.

you are attributing motives that i am explicitly disclaiming. continuing to do so can only be done in bad faith.

Excited to hear your thoughts on Ukraine.

countries are bad. one of the bad things countries do is put together militaries and invade other lands. abolish all countries.
