Can't we just call and have Musk arrested? I know DoJ won't handle it, but surely citizens can.

A January 6 insurrectionist pardoned by Trump is now wanted for child sex solicitation. Andrew Taake, who pleaded guilty to attacking officers on J6, was already facing charges for soliciting sex from an undercover cop posing as a 15-year-old. Texas prosecutors are now seeking his arrest.

Many important lessons to learn. One of them: If only the Europeans and Americans weren't so bigoted and focused on economic exploitation as to neglect the possibility of making alliances with other people beyond those who looked and acted like themselves.

I believe: The development of more empirically accurate perspectives that we each can confirm with honest senses is key to our survival. But a key to getting to that perspective is a certain amount of openness to the unlikely that respects honest evidence interpretation.

While Lenin & Trotsky doted on themselves, Stalin used the powers of HR and administrative assistant as General Secretary to shape the institutions around them all for Stalin. The lesson: Respect those who work when you manage, and be very careful about who gets to do that kind of work. Not me, us.

Study "On Guerilla Warfare" by Mao Zedong. He was a much better field commander than statesperson. Political power doesn't grow out of the barrel of a gun. It grows out of the democratic legitimation from all members of the human society affected by the political players. Be ready and read the room.

Never be *too* "serious" when confronting Fasc.
Remember, Fascists don't like comedy. They dish out hate to and for others, but have no humor for themselves, you see. It's inner happiness that they seem to lack. Use that insight. Take heart. Laugh when you can.

Always remember, that the Israelis who are inflicting the war crimes are from a context of people who have *never* experienced the kinds of treatment that they're inflicting on the Palestinians. Ghettos, pogroms, and attempts at genocide were done to Jews. How dare their elders who do know of them.

The funniest part about the reactionaries will be when/if they realize their bigotry does not help their economic conditions.

Capitalists have become the Pharaoh and the rest of us are the Jews laboring for Pharaoh's benefit. The plagues will be the consequences we all will experience from their misrule and poor policy preferences. In the words of my deep, legendary ancestor, let my people go.

In the "good regulator theorem" of Conant and Ashby, a "good" regulator must have an accurate model of the system they're affecting. That's where the ideologues of all sides fail, especially the ideology of the conservative Right. We experience the world individually but we do not live like that.

We had a choice. Now, with Orange Hitler as POTUS, we'll be lucky to save a fraction of humankind than we could've saved without him and his kind in office. The Right's beliefs and values are not and will never be supported by empirical facts as a healthy logic for us all.

Billionaire oligarch Jamie Dimon on Trump's tariffs causing higher prices: If it's a little inflationary but it's good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it.

The Right's ideology is an evolutionary dead end. It leads to the exclusion of most people from the benefits of living in the societies of humans where it is used. It passed during times when humans didn't have tech that can alter ecosystems and the global climate. Mainly, it fails to be adaptable.
