With Donald Trump at the helm, I think liberal/progressive states should consider this. My state New Jersey could join with New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine and become the country of New England. youtu.be/X1c3gXzaGm8?...

Disclaimer that I wasn’t a huge Kamala Harris stan. On a personal level she was definitely likeable and endearing. But she was a pretty typical liberal Democrat being only slightly more progressive than Biden. But I voted for her, and wish she could’ve been Trump’s place now. 1/

“I’m not interested in politics,” is a statement by people who don’t understand how politics ultimately affect them or are so damn privileged that it might not really affect them. We all have to be interested in it at least to a degree given that it is materially consequential to someone.

I’m still calling it the Gulf of Mexico. Fuck the Cheetoh. It’s been called that for hundreds of years and it is part of international waters not part of the USA exclusively.

Donald Trump is a racist POS, plain and simple. Those who don’t see it either agree with him, are stupid, or still wanna twist themselves into pretzels to justify him when they should be turning against him. Let’s not even mention Leon’s raiding of the treasury. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

We seek exhilarations to put off the hollowness in us. Even if it hurts us, it makes us feel alive. Therein lies the trick. To learn to feel alive, to have exhilaration without the pain. For we may have pulse and breathe. But to feel alive is more than pulse, breath, and motion. We have to feel it.

Notice back in your school days when the bullied fought back against their bullies that they were the ones that got most in trouble. The same thing happens in the political and social realm. The bullies (the far right) has so gaslit the nation into thinking the ones who fight them are the problem.

The right are armed to the teeth and those on the left are simply at a disadvantage should the right want to start offing the people they hate.

The Duning-Krueger Effect graph, the Uncanny Valley graph, and Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs explains a lot about politics. It may not seem obvious at first, but you do have to think about it to see how.

Reliance on common sense is what leads to right-wing modes of thinking. It is little more than the accumulation of biases and prejudices. But the world is much more complex than what common sense tells us, which is we have to discard it in favor of complex and critical thinking.

Yeah, looking back at how I used to think before, I am now convinced that free will is largely an illusion. I don’t think this has to undermine people’s religious/spiritual beliefs if they understand that soul is being mediated through a physical brain. youtu.be/w2GCVsYc6hc?...

Dark Brandon memes were made by liberals to magnify Joe Biden as a badass, but unfortunately our outgoing president was hardly a Dark Brandon. I wish he had unleashed even a little Dark Brandon. But he didn’t.

8 Values Test of my politics. Libertarian socialism.

I wish I could be at the 14th Now Rally. Much respect to Jessica Denson and everyone who’s at DC with her. I really hope this makes some difference. Congress either needs to disqualify this insurrectionist or go through the 2/3rds vote motion to remove the disability. So we know where they stand.

I wish I could say I don’t understand hate. But I do having been on the far right at one point where hate is rampant. Far right politics are politics of hate.

There's no agreeing to disagree on human rights. If you disagree with human rights, then FU.

Went to see #Wicked. Fantastic movie. #Woke AF. Loved it. Beautiful. I had to hold myself back from crying.

Hey billionaire simps! The chances of you becoming a billionaire are so infinitesimally small that you really need to stop with that shit. Also it's the most beta thing you can do.

I used to be deep in the MAGA sauce, and I wound up getting radicalized in the other direction from my far right origins. It's hard, but MAGA people can change. I did, after all.

Jordan Neely should've lived, but he didn't. But Daniel Penny rotting behind bars would've at least been satisfactory. But he was let off and went free.

Women belong wherever they wanna be. Misogynistic dude bros need to stop telling women that they simply belong in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, and as mothers. Women get to decide if they wanna be mothers, not you.

The only unions I believe in busting are police unions. They just shield awful, corrupt cops from accountability. Most other workers' unions though I want strengthened and bolstered.

It seems to take individually experiencing something bad to start to empathize with others. It shouldn't have to take this if we were successful in teaching empathy to children. When empathy is learned as a child, it continues into adulthood. A society rooted in empathy leaves no one behind.

The Republican party were always so big on states' rights. Will they honor the rights of blue states with our liberal and progressive values? I doubt it. They're hypocrites.

Proud to be woke, because it means I'm not asleep and am aware of systemic racism, patriarchy, white supremacy, Christian supremacy, cisheteronormativity, and other systems of oppression and biases that hold our society back. Woke is not an insult. I own being woke.

Political compass test results. Pretty left wing on the libertarian spectrum, green quadrant. The authoritarian left (tankies) is in the red quadrant.
