As I’ve often said, the difference between Trump and Vance is that Trump would kill your puppy for money and Vance would pay money to kill your puppy. I hate him so much. The smug “we both know I’m lying, aren’t I a clever boy” aura. Every quality I try to suppress in myself in one man. Fuck him.

Honestly, keep the aesthetics in your American Fundamentalist Catholic Church, because the aesthetics of Catholicism are the only thing you have in common with the actual Catholic church at this point. Stop pretending. You'll be much happier with an antipope in Dallas.

In all honesty I’d say any service of any kind should include *at least* the explicitly apparent threat of fuckery so they can’t assume that there isn’t sabotage in every cup of coffee and every burger. Make them jump at shadows. Drive them from the civil society they are trying to destroy.

Or, if we’re being honest, doing to every last one of them what ended up making a martyr of Horst Wessel, and I’m only half joking. If society tolerates open nazism, the only way out will require blood. Theirs, or if we’re unwilling to meet the moment, ours.
