1000% ren faire soundtrack

It is SO good. I already texted him with praise.

To be honest, Bobby Zed's solo stuff soured me on the White Zombie catalog, but now I mighr have to give it all a relisten.

Its another thing that will be up to regular citizens to document and find ways to get out to media.

The media restrictions are all pre-emptive efforts to prevent that from happening. Watch for steps to be taken to consolidate internet access and VPN utilization to be made illegal for unclear reasons. It's not lost on me that one of the major cell providers is utilizing Starlink now.

1000%. He tear gassed protestors for his upside-down bible photo op, why stop there.

Again, accurate. What I am getting at is that I don't have a foolish dream of us getting to the other side (new constitution, etc) as being a bloodless affair.

I don't see this ending without some degree of bloodshed. There was plenty that could have been done to prevent current events, ie. prosecution of individuals under the 14th amendment, but we don't like holding the rich accountable in this country.

Breaking things way too fast, and then their attempts at backstepping are a failure.

When people cannot/are having difficulties feeding themselves and can't afford basic necessities, the tide will turn. We're on the precipice of that, but not quite over.

Again, correct, but the vast majority who want to invoke its memory only have a grade school understanding of it and do so in the name of some faceless, imaginary oppressor to their patriarchal racist idea of what 'murica should be.

-Most likely.

Both true, but I think it is important for America in our collective complacency to really familiarize ourselves with what living in a true autocracy looks like, and what must be done to end one, although it's probably too late. This is one of those "doomed to repeat it" moments in history.

Once the ball got rolling, yes, but the twenty-odd years during which Ceausescu was a de facto dictator, holding rigged elections, lining his and his wife's pockets, banning women's reproductive rights and starving his population were far from a good time.

I hope the fucking plane crashes.

Same. I'd rather feel my jet fuel-soaked flesh sear off in a fiery cataclysm.
