I think the whole “Oligarchy” tour is misguided. “Oligarchy” is a word used on college campuses, debated by the privileged, it’s a theory, it’s intellectual, it doesn’t carry emotion with it. We need to see and hear from the people who have been unjustly fired, who are hurting.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“We tried voting and it didn’t work” is a super common thing to hear on this website for being complete fucking nonsense. The thing is that voting *did* work and the people who did it more *won*, it’s that it was the villains.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Hey does anyone remember when $600 stimulus checks were supposedly causing a massive worker shortage and runaway inflation? Anyway...

I don’t see a lot of Americans saying this explicitly so I want to be clear that I am not only against this Canada stuff because it would be stupid and dumb but also because our Canadian brethren have self determination and dignity and the US is pondering an evil action

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

TRUMP: *says something bad in a way that immediately illustrates how shitty he is* A GENIUS MEDIA BOY: no! no! don't pay attention to that! that's just a distraction, for foolish rubes! ELECTED DEMOCRATS: my god he's right! thank you, genius media boy! RUBES: wow elon is finding a lot of waste

Just remembering how when planes would crash in Iran or Russia we used to say "This is what happens in autocracies, because they give important jobs to the leader's cronies instead of competent people."

The next circle of hell is looking to our side to band together in solidarity, and watching some of them go insane with conspiracy thinking, because we all have little computers in our pockets that can make them do this. What Trump is doing is nothing compared to what we're gonna do to ourselves.
