Ryan DeLongpre 🇺🇸 @jeitoapp“We should really start worrying about authoritarianism in America” 3 minutes later: “Giving the monopoly of violence to the state is just about the best thing we have ever done as a species” Why do people still listen to this confused man is beyond me. https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg/status/1271602718059008000 …2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
