    It’s like the Maoist cultural revolution scenes in the early part of Three-Body Problem. They just lack a Mao in power running sociopath air-cover in DC. One of these diners is going to get counter-radicalized and invite the Trisolrians in.https://twitter.com/KunkleFredrick/status/1298344285079838720 …

    1) In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants,  chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity. #DCProtests pic.twitter.com/fJbPM76vb0

        Can we put these people and the Ayn Randists on an island together. They’ll be very happy together. They can create a horseshoe wedding registry somewhere.

        Oh it's way worse. Mao was just a tiny glitch in thousands of years history. America has very short history. Not very lindy.

        I’ve thought this exactly... Side point: there was a sophon lock on cars and space travel and somehow @elonmusk was able to break both of them.
