I almost want to sort of thank this fascist dipshit.

All the libs hide their feelings towards workplace democracy, but Mark (I will not type that legal name. Gun to my head, I won't) is violently open with his contempt for average people and his privilege and lies about said privilege.

Too many Americans still think "self made" is a thing. Or that people like Wayne worked hard. No, they inherit capital gained from the exploitation or theft of capital from others, and then when they use that capital to accumulate more capital, which is the entire purpose, people are baffled and forget the source of the original capital and go "oh, wow, he did something!"

So Mark here is showing his ass, showing that he's dimwitted, showing his open hatred for people and his desire to subjugate labor everywhere in any way he can. He's just personally too stupid to withhold his anger over TWITTER COMMENTS. Any time that little myth bubble gets penetrated, I almost want to thank the dumbass capitalists for showing everyone who they are.

(he also posted a pic outright threatening some podcaster. He was holding a gun and the caption was like "anytime any place" clearly as fuck a threat but where is Biden's FBI? Hmm. No no Biden needs another pudding and to call a pro-Palestinian protestor anti-Semitic for demanding he stop allowing baby murder)

[Mullin] is known for having clashed with State Department officials in 2021 as he sought to get into Afghanistan on a self-appointed rescue mission.

They should have just let him go and left him there.
