The lesser of evils is an easier calculation to make when both sides don’t conspire in your social murder. It’s necropolitics on both sides of the isle. One feels sheepish about it. The other celebrates. But your just as dead.

Pissing on our graves from legislatures & parliaments, from opposition benches, from newspaper chains, from bully pulpits of all kinds, that has launched careers, helped win elections. It is the entire personality of some politicians & pundits. Just ask Mackenzie King.

Helping us survive however, might cost votes.

There is no political cost for our deaths. The mountain of corpses has led to no government falling, no minister resigning, no cabinet shuffle, no high-ass muckedy-muck getting sacked, not even a junior official suspended. Nothing.

Ok well it turns out I do still need opioids. But those hugs are pretty great

Thank you!

Both the poison drug crisis & the climate crisis were declared emergencies. Both have been met with half-measures that fail while the far-right mobilizes and governments offer funding cuts and increased police budgets.
