Robespierre did nothing wrong.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

My wokest opinion is that the inheritance tax should be 100% of capital assets. If you own say, a construction company, you can sell it and give the money to your kids for a modest tax fee but you can’t pass the business on at all.

My wokest opinion is that there shouldn’t be any private high schools or elementary schools.
Education is a matter of the common public good and everyone at the K-12 level should have an equal opportunity with the same resources to attain a common educational baseline.

This insanity is going to pass (not tomorrow but eventually) and at that point there has to be real accountability for these institutions and decision-makers; at this level, it will likely be social and interpersonal more than anything

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Yeah so one of the things you notice about looking through Wehrmacht unit histories is that they'll be immaculate apart from having missing entries on dates that coincide with massacres in their AOR
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

I don’t mean to be glib but this is probably a more damning indictment of American elite culture than the Iraq Invasion.
Every single time! Epstein will write:
"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"
and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:
"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

Also important to remember that everyone involved in the coverup -- whether formally or informally -- is part of the exact same conspiracy against the victims and against the nation.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

yeah my most out there technology and crime belief that be implemented is if we can mandate new cars have backup cameras we can mandate they have ignition interlock devices. the first time you get caught driving over the limit it gets turned on. extremely doable technological non-carceral solution.
There was a DUI diversion program (Montana? Dakota?) that required 3 a day breathalizer that was more or less a wild success. If you miss check in, you get an overnight in county. Apparently this had effects on *all cause* mortality.

Also, anytime you are thinking about calling the cops, ask yourself, "will this situation be improved by (more) guns?" If the answer is no, don't call them.
