a trivial polycule of one

  • Village idiots, or those touched by gods, have always had the capacity of always being able to speak truth to power much like the jester to the king.

    These two here are not the village idiots. They are just what we all are: late to the Stop American Nazis party.

  • Trump is literally devaluing US American lives in real dollars to then funnel that the money from the citizens into his pocket.

    Not a complicated con. But somehow impossible to stop ?

  • new darwinism dropped: survive of the vaginear-en-ist

  • The problem here is that we have confused "financial success" with "merit".

    They are almost always mutually exclusive.

  • one rule of success is to dress for the job that you want

  • there was this point in the 1980s where designers drug makers would change one or two molecules in a drug after it was made illegal to start to sell it again because this new slightly changed molecule combination was not yet illegal.

    That did that over and over until ....

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Analogue_Act

    which ruled that:

    which allows any chemical "substantially similar" to a controlled substance listed in Schedule I or II to be treated as if it were listed in Schedule I, but only if intended for human consumption.

    Seems like that type of legal positivism could be used against surveillance.

    ps - for the number of times that i have had to type and write the word "surveillance" you'd a thunk that i had learnt to spelt it good by now

  • the orange gazes also into thee

  • Contemporary middle aged males and even any age males take testosterone just because they don't want to feel old or vulnerable.

    All the heroes of Western Toxic Masculinity ... none of them had access to male hormone therapy ... and yet they managed to be CHUD heroes.

    The fact that contemporary men need hormone therapy and peptides to feel manly is the biggest sign of the loss of male virility.

  • the letters going up the side seem like Zoidberg arms raised into the air

  • Gee what will happen to paychecks/health care of McConnell's staff if McConnell dies ?

  • swoll-cats thinks food bowl is too small

  • Trump likes to be talked about ... Stalin and Hitler are still talked about. Not a complicated game.

  • If you are an US American ... quit calling them "they" and start calling them "we".

    Because until we do anything about us ... we are become they permanently. History won't care about your broken hearts; we are NAZIs, too, until we kick NAZI-ism out.

  • So that they can get pictures of license plates tied to addresses to sell to repo companies so that the tow truck can come get your Hellcat.

  • would be the funniest gas chambers yet

  • Revolution is an open measurement of the strength between social forces in a struggle for power.

    Trotsky in the above quote is advising everyone who is not a NAZI should perhaps show more force in a measurable way in our struggle for power. The NAZIs will win at first. Then slowly and all at once they will not win.
