    On another note, I'm thinking back to that one young person who went viral passionately making the argument for voting Biden and for waiting to deal with the neoliberals until LATER (unfortunately I can't find the original video but full audio is at the start of the TrueAnon episode linked), possibly young enough not to remember that the Dems pulled a similar trick 8 years ago to get Obama re-elected. I know for a fact there are young zoomer progressives like that who honestly don't know better because they haven't seen this movie before, who listened to and repeated similar condescending arguments from liberals and even so-called socialists who should be old enough to know better.

    I know this because I was one of those people around a decade ago, even after the short-lived Occupy movement brought the "99% vs. 1%" concept into the popular lexicon and helped to revive US class consciousness. Every zoomer who's radicalized and started drawing revolutionary conclusions so quickly with less life experience deserves a pat on the back because it took me until I was in my mid-20s, about 2 election cycles since I was old enough to vote, to learn this lesson.
