Smoking a doink with my city's liberal mayor who is explaining to me that she has to have cops tear gas and arrest protesters to avoid having the president send in the National Guard to tear gas and arrest protesters--which would be a big civil rights problem

I for one think we should not enter into another horrible region-devastating war of choice which is sure to ruin millions of lives and waste trillions in resources and treasure when we desperately need species level cooperation to avert ecological collapse--but I'm trying to keep an open mind

"My family immigrated the right way," by crossing the seas to participate in a settler colonial project, displacing indigenous people and using the forced labor of millions of people who were systematically kidnapped, kept in bondage, bred and traded like livestock. Is it so hard to follow the law?

One aspect of neo-fascism that has taken me off-guard is that the administration still bothers to maintain some level of plausible deniability. Like they obviously want to go full Gestapo, but it's still important to them to try to deny that is what they are doing.

If you read accounts by slave owners in the US prior to the Civil War you will understand completely that the construction of "white genocide" is a projection of oppressors whose brains have been stretched to the limit by the tension and disgust necessary to justify large scale systemic exploitation

When I was in 9th grade we had a mock trial for Christopher Columbus in my history class. For rape and torture and all that junk. I got to be the prosecutor. That's when I realized that when I grew up I wanted to be a shitposter.

Why do all the artists I love always up being lefties?! How come these passionate, unusually creative individuals don't adhere to a conformist ideology that enforces rigid identities and punishes deviation from the status quo?! Am I crazy? Is it a conspiracy of some kind?

Thank God they are tinting the windows on school busses now. It used to be I'd pull up behind a bus at a light and the evil little urchins in the back row would stare at me and snicker, gesticulating and laughing in a mocking manner and I don't know if I could stand that at this stage of my life.

Tis better that 10 guilty people go free than one innocent be imprisoned. But in America if one lazy fucker gets food stamps we should starve a thousand unlucky folks to spite them.

Folks, is it a country? Really? It could be something else, right? Shouldn't it be something else? More of a franchise? A chain of loosely affiliated entities under the same branding? We can still get together once a year for a hell of a trade show.
