What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
Ants often act like inefficient goofballs. They got lost, accidentally drop their good and walk in circles trying to find it but eventually give up and go home, half of the ants in a nest just sit there 24/7 and do absolutely nothing.

A lot of people in positions of power got their promotions because they were behaving badly.
In sexual harassment cases, institutions use promotions as a way to retain the perpetrator and separate them from their primary victim.

the thing is they're saying "I dare you to do something about it" to, basically, Democrats in the House and Senate, because that's the only people in a position to do anything, and, well,
They’re just doing it right in front of the whole world.

Confused that folks think this regime has only one target at a time. That's not how any of this works.
They're targeting everyone all at once.
They're not "lining up their next targets". They're already acting to harm. Don't underplay what's happening.
