    Wow, I can think of quite a few more personalities and “influencers” and authors that I’d love to see go to a prison labor camp.

    Benny Johnson, LibsOfTikTok, Bannon, Roger Stone, founder of the “Proud” Boys, Curtis Yarvin, Nick Fuentes…

      I think that most of these guys know what radioactive lightning rods they are, and are savvy enough to at least understand that if they leave the safety of their domestic propaganda apparatus, they’re on their own in an environment likely hostile to them.

      This guy’s apparently limited understanding of his role and where his bread is buttered thought he could make the same ass of himself over there as he did back home without consequence, and he was mistaken.

      Unfortunately, I think most of those you listed, while dumb in a lot of ways, are savvy enough to know to keep a low profile when they go into enemy territory, which is essentially any place with a population higher than a bus.
