I have learned not to trust my learned assumptions.
I don't post here very often.

What's the point of this platform if it's so heavily curated that we're denied the ability to engage with the opposition?

I signed up for Twitter for the first time tonight.

What a garbage scow.

The problem with Bluesky is that it curates and segregates our communities.

I don't need to argue with people of like mind about nuances.

I need to argue with people who seemingly would never agree with me.

Obviously.

I don't need to preach to the choir.

The Australian Rupert Murdoch has done more damage to the US than the Soviets did throughout the breadth of the Cold War.

His secret? He wrapped every anti-American opinion piece dressed as "news" with images of monster trucks and shit-kickin' work boots.

And he won.

Nothing is more important right now in the western world than the Trump administration's assertion that it can suspend habeas corpus.

Nothing.

To the braindead among us,

If and when a president sits in office that YOU don't like and has the ability you granted him to "disappear" his opponents without charge or trial... stripping them of their citizenship perhaps...

You'll sing a different song to deaf ears.

You dumb fucks.

If you're cool with handing over your inalienable rights to a handful of politicians NOT TO BE DISAPPEARED WITHOUT CHARGES OR A RIGHT TO TRIAL, good for you.

If you're cool with handing over MY inalienable rights to trial, FUCK YOU.

This is America.
May 11, 2025 at 7:06 AM
They're coming for Habeus Corpus. They're coming, today, for YOUR right NOT to be DISAPPEARED without trial, forevermore.

STOP pretending this is banal.

If you've been tricked into thinking this only applies to "THEM", you don't know how you've been tricked into handing over YOUR RIGHTS.

We pay taxes to help "the general welfare" of our nation.

That's why we PAY taxes.

The wealthy don't CARE about the general welfare of the nation.

They care only for themselves.

Some might call that treasonous.

Deeply irresponsible.

THAT'S the most concise way to describe this administration, regardless of political stripe.

We all know it.

Curtis Yarvin is an empty vessel. He's a douche.

If you don't know who he is, you should.

Having a given President seemingly declare an active foreign adversary a 'sudden ally' and treat them as such DOESN'T MAKE THEM SO.
March 6, 2025 at 3:32 AM
What we're all watching in real time is sabotage of the United States by a foreign power.

Someone actually asked me why I don't talk about Elon Musk.

He's not even worth talking about.

Shitheel.

If you think that shambling faker with the comb-over is gonna save you... or anybody else for that matter... you need to seriously look at the flaws in your own psychology, because these aren't daddy figures, no dictator is in your corner, EVER, as everyone knows. As you already know.

Pathetic.

I'm an American. At a glance, Donald Trump is filth. He's the embodiment of greed, poor taste, ignorance and fat, grasping, stupid appetite.

He's a greasy stain that will pass away.

I'm sorry for the damage he's done, and will do, but America will remain after he's gone.
March 1, 2025 at 8:51 AM
Do you know what it used to mean, to be an American man?

...

It meant saying goodbye to everything, and saying goodbye to everyone that you loved, forever, and being terrified, and s******* yourself, and dying in the dirt and probably killing another man before you were mangled by a bullet.

We've all been brainwashed. 90% of us have been brainwashed. Pretty f****** effectively too.
February 28, 2025 at 5:06 AM
Here's the plain truth.

If you are serious person and looked at Donald Trump, and heard him speak for 5 minutes, and then thought that he could possibly be qualified for the office of the President of the United States, then you're an idiot.
February 28, 2025 at 5:05 AM
I cannot believe how badly the media has failed in their duty as the fourth estate.
February 28, 2025 at 4:54 AM
When you hear Trump mention the good old days of 1887 in his rambling speeches, pay attention. The people behind him are steering us stupidly towards the time when the precious few held obscene wealth while the masses slept in mud and straw.

Look it up.

Conservatives have always believed in total dismantling of Social services, and a complete belief in supply-side economics, an economic theory which has been thoroughly debunked for decades and which will lead to complete economic collapse.

This is that.
February 28, 2025 at 4:49 AM
Everything that's happening right now is straight out of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 handbook.

Every bit of it.

I don't understand what kind of Mind Ray the media has suffered that's made them forget this context, but you can look it up yourself. IT'S ALL THERE.
February 28, 2025 at 4:47 AM
This is a coup. It's playing out in real time.

Thank you.
February 28, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Are you guys catching on?

The lawless behavior? The Supreme Court rulings defending some batshit unitary executive theories?

It's playing out right now, guys.

I've been paying attention even if you haven't been.
