Elon's not doing nothing shady. And you're like, that's wild. Dude, it's crazy. I really think the best example of actual solidarity that threatened the government itself was the Occupy movement. Yeah. Because that wasn't even necessarily left versus right. It was like the collective people, working class people versus the richest in the country.

I think the last Occupy-style point of solidarity was like the mid-1960s, civil rights movement, that time period where it was like, you know what, we're done with this shit. You had almost every single movement that we see today, social movement, formed in the 60s. Animal rights, Chicano rights, black, even white working class union shit really started back then.

And if you look at it, the FBI strategically deployed like programs to take the leaders out, to disrupt the solidarity between a lot of these communities and kind of turn them against each other. And it actually worked. And by the 80s, you had Reagan come in and be like, anyone complaining is a fucking pussy. Pick yourself up. Are you an American? Go to work and you're going to become me one day.

Yeah. And then now you're kind of seeing, I look at the period between 2012 Occupy Movement and 2016 as our FBI infiltration moment. Because all of a sudden 2016 comes around and you've got these smart dudes who happen to be white. And someone's like, can you please hold space for the people who are marginalized? And they're like, what? I have a great idea.

And someone's like, I know you have a great idea, but your heteronormative positioning is making you unable to actually have a good idea. Yeah. I think that a lot of that is, like, you're taking people when they're 18, 19, and they're kind of awkward. They're trying to figure out who they are in the world, you know, whether they're black, white, man, woman, or whatever.
