    That’s irrelevant to the point that “The walton family sponsored” is misleading when it looks like it was just one person who’s only a member of the family by marriage, with no current involvement in the business, and when walmart itself explicitly distanced itself from her on this topic.

            You could admit you weren’t entirely correct. It’s okay.

            And you’re doing the work of billionaires here by discouraging people from protesting.

              I was actually correct, a member of the Walton family is bankrolling a protest named “No kings” literally the oligarchy funding protests.

              Protest away, it’s definitely not all part of project 2025 👍

                “technically correct, the best kind of correct” is a joke and not an aspiration.

                What do you suggest? Staying home and doing nothing?

                  Bro you’re the one claiming I was wrong, I didn’t make this into a whole back and forth, you did.

                  The technically correct joke is when someone comes in and nit picks something, exactly what you’re doing.

                  I do not see how the protests have actually accomplished anything over the past two decades I’ve been paying attention.

                  The protests against the war in the middle east, we didn’t pull out until Biden

                  Occupy Wallstreet, literally nothing happened

                  Black Lives Matter, literally nothing happened

                  First trump admin lots of protests, literally nothing happened

                  Defund the police, hey it’s like they have more money now somehow

                  All the trump 2 protests, what has actually been accomplished?

                  I do think protests can work, but these are all too disjointed with no real end goal in sight and I find it mighty suspicious when some of them are funded by billionaires yes.

                  The same billionaires who happily keep us fighting amongst ourselves while they loot the treasury and slide us further toward facism.

                  What we need is an actual movement united in a common goal and working in lock step, something the proud boys et all figured out on the right years ago and clearly actually worked for them

                    Well at least we agree on this.

                    I often feel like the protests are performative, and never move onto the next steps of “we’re withholding our labor until things improve” or what have you.
