Not only should the US not be allowed to host the World Cup - we shouldn’t be allowed to compete in it. We should be banned from international competition.

In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

You know, all they really need to do is start listing the tariff on products and making people pay it separately like sales tax, and they'd be gone in a day.
Ideally they'd wait until you got the register to tack it on too, just to really rub it in.

Alternatively, fascism was the logical endpoint for a political party which decided years ago that appealing to racists and homophobes was beneficial to its political project of funneling money to powerful corporate interests and disempowering labor.

I am not blaming Democrats for Republicans becoming fascists. I am blaming people who overused "fascist" for years for removing the power of that word and gutting it of meaning, and making it useless now that we need it.

Today we call them "conservatives", and they will do anything they can to turn themselves into docile servants to anyone with wealth and power.
