The Democratic Party effectively eliminated "the left" from mainstream politics 50 years ago and this is the result. Billionaires, big business, "the right" didn't get more moderate, they've only been growing more vicious and ravenous

hey guys I'm trying to establish right-wing dictatorship in a wealthy, diverse, and relatively robust democracy. the ideal political economy for my project is one in which I've picked fights with the military and professional classes and strapped a ticking time bomb to Wall Street, right?

Ultimately the fascists see everything through the lens of social Darwinism and death. Many literally believe vaccines are not ok because they allow the most at risk to survive. It’s eugenics and genocide all the way down for them. They literally want you and your family dead

they're just gonna keep making things worse and insisting they're better. Reagan's skill was making people believe it was true, I dunno if Donny has that skill. in fairness, his fans are enormous dipshits.

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

Imagine, just for the sake of argument, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, hypothetically, and let’s say I can't help but to hear, no, I simply cannot help but to hear an exchanging of words

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

ANY GIVEN CASTING DIRECTOR: So the character’s a creepy little freak, who do we got Miles away, Walton Goggins tilts his head like a dog hearing a frequency no one else can hear. He sniffs the air. A slow, genuine, but terrifying, smile fills his face.

The "poor people are dumb" thing bothers me a lot because most poor people are pretty aware of how broken the world is but have no CHOICE. They're not doing shit jobs because they're dumb and they're not screaming revolution on social media because they'd like to keep the job that keeps them housed

It's a distrust of pleasure. You can't just do things because you enjoy them or find satisfying; you have to be accomplishing something, making a line a go up, demonstrating virtue. Makes people say silly things about the silly things they enjoy.

I genuinely don’t have any blame or recriminations to share, and I’m not angry at anyone who wants to stop fascism in whatever way they can. Yes, we should learn from mistakes, but the fault for the rise of fascism lies with the fascists. Always and forever.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.
