I was taught that they made for good villains because they liked classical music and that made them complex but I’m starting to think that most of them did their version of quoting South Park all the time.
were the original nazis this dorky and embarrassing? like we think of them (rightly) as the executioners who carried out the holocaust but were they also a passel of nerds who lived in a world of idiotic grievances and resentments just like these guys do?

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.

We are on the path to unspeakable horrors in every direction and this Guantanamo plan really stands out.
We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!
