"We want him to act like a hegemon and purge people based on ideology instead of what they have done."

Go read "Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers", written by a member of the CCP to better understand what kind of leader Mamdani is vs the kind you are asking for and the consequences there of.

I read it and still share the same response. You expect him to say he will not hire someone to coordinate trash pickup based on their foreign policies? Lol okay.

The thing about these ~~woodchipper~~ orphan grinding machines is that as long as you are throwing others into the machine you get to stay in the back of the line.

They want artificial employees to discipline the labor market but what they will get instead is a deskilled labor force and business structures that are even more resistant to adaptation.

Who's the bigger idiot: The person working a service job that has little time to acquire new technical skills to understand what a VPN is, or the person who actually has time and resources enough to shitpost all day but hasn't sufficiently read enough to understand what systemic or structural issues are in regards to society.

Admittedly I struggle to comprehend how one can express regret without also expressing a desire to change their pattern of actions. I see businesses do that because they can act like a psychopath. Which I guess is why I don't see it as an apology but a giant red flag.

South Korea has the death penalty for people who perform capital flight. So let the billionaires leave, but not as billionaires.

One thing I learned from non-violent communication is that we are not responsible for their feelings. To worry that we might say something that can push them further down a rabbit hole is them weaponizing their emotions. We should treat them with greater civility than they showed here, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't tell them how odious their politics are.
