I think a lot of it comes from the staggering inequality that neoliberalism has spawned, people know there's something deeply wrong and are frustrated. As usual there's always somebody that offers a convenient culprit to blame usually a group that can be easily identified as "others".

Trump at least has the excuse of what looks more and more like the disinhibition and impulse control issues associated with fronto-temporal dementia. Miller on the other hand is just plain evil.

I woke up to the first snow of the year, not much just enough to cover the grass. I'm now officially in love with a heated gilet and insoles. Not quite the smart fabric thermo regulating suit of fiction but marvelous devices all the same.

Murdoch and Harmsworth laid the groundwork, social media spread lies and enabled the grifters, and now it's a tossup whether Putin or American Money is doing more damage.

The result is the main thing, I live in a JW infested area and Baphomet has proven quite effective at repelling them. There is a downside, sometimes I miss the opportunity the occasional doorstep verbal disemboweling.

I used to be a Labour member when the "Labour is a Democratic Socialist Party" on the membership card was a moderately defensible statement. Do they have the gall to still print that on the membership card?

I'd avoid Runes as they have been co-opteed first by the Nazis and now by the Neo Nazis. I've found my Baphomet idol is pretty good at repelling Jehova's Witnessses and so far no problems with deliveries other than a few puzzled questions.
