Wish I’d known I had ADD back then. Part of the problem but doing my best to limit the damage and help when I can. Can tell a hawk from a handsaw in most (many?) environmental conditions.

This is what happens when I wake up and decide to listen to The Wall
Skype from me to a friend For me that's a hard no, although I appreciate I come at this from a fairly complicated and specific viewpoint Fascism is usually about subverting one's own issues into the crowd, convivial worship if you will. Depressive paranoia is based on the idea you are entirely alone, and moreover unkind to the rest of humanity. I don't even think those are narrow differences, but I recognize how someone unconsidered could cling to either depending on the public moment

Me learning I was late to the joke
Two post, the first links to the M83 song “Midnight City” and the lyric “maybe it will happen tonight” and the second is me responding to someone quoting the line with a joke “And by “it” we mean the end of the world, with no understanding of the reference.

General strikes all fall within these constraints:
A list of reasons to strike that are barred by the Taft-Hartley Act according to Wikipedia, including “jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity and political strikes, secondary boycotts” all of which taken together cover any general strike

Oh fuck my life, if there was ever a clearer sign I’d gone wrong
Hate monger Tulsi Gabbard, probably not really, followed me.

The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women – two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.
