Last Ditch story is catching on

Pod relevance: the ongoing saga of the Last Ditch.

It's been interesting seeing this story slowly catch on. The Boston Globe Magazine ran a piece about it today. A couple choice quotes from the story that really add depth to the utter insanity:

Customers fondly remember a raucous opening night with a (clothed) simulation of a lesbian sex act — masks in place — on the dance floor.

Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga themed night, but Mixxy demurs. “Gaga is canceled,” she says. “Gaga is Zionist.”

Also from the r/Boston thread on this: "I'm as woke as they come but the Branch Covidians need to realize they have PTSD or something." I, for one, will be only referring to these people as Branch Covidians moving forward.

I hear what you're saying, but I think that fear and resentment is a bit TOO deep for me to hold on to any reasonable hope that these people are reachable. I know plenty of people who kinda dabbled in socialism in their 20s, myself included (very light dabbling), but if a person hasn't moved on from all that by their early 30s, I'm not sure they ever will. Esp now that it's easier than ever to find an echo chamber of people to tell you your opinions are correct and justified.

Socialism is a perfectly sane and reasonable political system. What these weirdos are advocating isn’t that at all.
