How many people have been sent to camps by the alleged Nazis?

Soon to be 40,000 immigrants sent to Guantanamo, and 40,000 more to be put in the worst El Salvadorian prison, even if they are not El salvadorian.

So you’re consuming nothing that comes from the US? By the way, do you participate in the animal genocide?

This is a classist argument, this is not something you can even often choose to do if you live in a food desert, or are too impoverished to afford anything more than the subsidized US factory made scraps. It costs nothing to quit Twitter on the other hand, you're just an addict.

But! I'm lucky enough to have local farmer's markets out every day near me, and the money to support them. Why would I not consume from the U.S.? I get to see the farms I buy from and meet these people, I have fed peanuts to Praggle's alpacas and pet their cows. They are local and I have seen that they don't abuse their animals, so I support them, yes. They treat their animals right and I buy their shit. I also don't digest gluten and have to make essentially everything I eat myself because of that so it's not even entirely an option for me to buy processed mass manufactured garbage.

it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi

It has been seen.

I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.

Yes and when I recognize my avenues of support, I switch away and stop supporting things I don't like. I don't make excuses to keep using Dogshit.

You don't support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn't just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.

What public figure are you following on exclusively Twitter that is important enough to stay there?

Was he assassinated for all of his beliefs, or because he threatened Elijah Muhammad's spot as a cult leader for the Nation of Islam and got shot by cult followers?

You hear about the illegal things federal agencies do almost entirely because there is a standard automatic declassification date that is about 25 years after report creation for most agencies. See Executive Order 13526 from Obama for more info as to why. Similar orders existed prior to Obama, but generally for longer time-frames than 25 years.

But understand that the actual spooky stuff gets reviewed at the end of those 25 years, and does not get declassified. It gets determined to be a "continuing threat to the safety of the United States", and remains classified. This is the vehicle that a majority of JFK and MLK's assassination files have been recurringly re-upped for over 50 years (up until Trump's recent EO demanding the files get released [which is an absurdly terrible way to get these files declassified IMO but I guess we'll see how it goes]). All it takes to justify making a report "not ready for declassification" is the agency director's say-so, which can be for any reason including that it would foster a bad view on the federal government and/or it's agencies from its citizens.

Anyways, this usually leads to FOIA requests on intelligence agencies (some agencies more than others) being nearly useless, because anything spicy will not be labeled unclassified and released to you. I think it's still a good idea to submit FOIA's to them anyway because it's always fun to make the FOIA offices squirm with their 100th annual request for information on Bigfoot, and it's not illegal (yet!) to do so.
