So to all of you praying and hoping that the Democratic senators and representatives do something for you, even in two years, or even four years, know this:

They will do nothing. It is left to you to do something. Tyranny waits for no one, why should you wait?
Way too many of the self-labeled "Libertarians" on the right are just Authoritarians who are afraid to take accountability for their beliefs.

If you want to be called a libertarian, actually be libertarian.

I know the people who need to see this won't listen, but denigrating people for participating in the No Kings rallies is a losing strategy. Moderates are not your enemy, and they are in fact necessary for a movement to succeed. Anyone can fight fascism.
October 17, 2025 at 8:56 PM
This remains relevant.
Democrats are traitors and cowards who are all too happy to aid and abet the Trump adminstration's flagrant crimes as long as they can campaign and fundraise about it later.

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT

"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality

"this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening

START WITH WHAT IT IS
not what it isn't

The second amendment is a necessity, and our current fascist government shows us why.

Even if you don't intend to use them, buy a rifle, buy a handgun, and buy plenty of ammunition. Learn to use them.

And never, ever point your gun at something you do not intend to destroy.

Kimmel was just their test run. It did not work, but we have not saved free speech.

They went after Kimmel not because he's important, but because they think he isn't important enough.

They WILL come for you. Speak freely while you still have the chance.

Doing a blackout to force Bluesky to change won't work, because that would require bluesky to have enough users to even matter.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.

Political violence has no place in our country.
September 10, 2025 at 7:34 PM
I joke now, but I am bracing for the coming retribution wave of hate crimes against people (including myself) who were neither there nor relevant to the shooting.

You can only plan everything up until the moment the trigger is pulled. You cannot plan for anything that happens after.

Thoughts and prayers

for the people who saw the video, not for Charlie Kirk.
September 10, 2025 at 9:03 PM
I work somewhat down the street from the campus where Charlie Kirk was shot. Everyone I work with had videos within MINUTES of it happening. I could have told you he was dead before it was even reported.

Im not advocating for violence because lots of people will get hurt but as someone who has researched and written about authoritarianism regret to inform you that the way this is described is not "the only known solution". It might be the more desirable but putting the claim this way is ahistorical.
"The only known solution to creeping authoritarianism is broad-based, peaceful, geographically dispersed mass engagement by everyday Americans. That’s it. That’s what works."

>Big demonstration
>on a fucking saturday

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT SACRIFICING A SINGLE WEEKEND DAY DOES FUCK ALL.

If you're not willing to put anything on the line - not even your job - then don't be surprised when literally nothing happens and we fall into a dictatorship.

The cultural demand of liberals is to have performative charisma divorced from the substance of what political leaders stand for, which has been the case since they invented their fictive version of MLK. It's also why they're able to worship Bill Clinton and Obama, no matter how horrible they are.

"Vote blue no matter who" got us this second Trump term.

You would do well to remember that.

Vote blue only if they deserve it. And if they don't, run blue to dethrone them. And if you can't, vote third party.

I'm not even that far left. I'm just sick and tired of picking between two parties: the "fuck the queers" party, and the "fuck the queers" party but they pretend to be on my side because it's good business during election season.

MAINSTREAM DEM CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING IS GRIFTING ON THE BACK OF THE RISE OF FASCISM

Do not donate. Do not contribute. They're raising funds for themselves while pushing out any Democrat who actually gives a shit and isn't in it for the performative kayfabe.

Pritzker is legitimately one of the only Democrats doing fuck-all about the fascistic regime. Everyone else is just making "Tell Trump he's a meanie doo-doo yucky-head" petitions. Surely if we sign enough of those, the fascism will stop, right?

No. Encourage action. Take action.

apparently the liberals in my mentions think this is a “purity test”

you dummies really aren’t beating the “unserious” allegations now!
i said it before, i'll say it again: if Democrats don't explicitly campaign on putting these people in jail, then the only moral choice is to NOT vote for them until they do.
