  • No sympathy for those reaping what they sowed doesn’t mean no sympathy for those deserving of it, ie. those in her family who did not vote for Trump who are now suffering because of a situation she helped cause.

    Banned. Seems a bit much. Maybe I’m lacking context, I dunno. I’ll just say I think it’s fair to point out whenever there is collateral damage deserving of consideration, and I didn’t feel insulted or anything by their post that is now removed.

    If anything it’s just motivation to do some introspection. We should take care that our inclination to react to news like this with righteous vengeance doesn’t overshadow our empathy for and solidarity with other people that’s at the core of why idiots and assholes voting a fascist rapist into power makes us feel this emotionally invested.




  • Typically it’s this kind of thing where you may have to scrub the disingenuous surface of plausible deniability a little to reveal the rottenness underneath as the fascists try to hide, reorganize, strategize, obfuscate, manipulate, infiltrate and ultimately influence under the guise of some common issue they can blame on their targets, or a made-up issue they can redirect people’s frustrations towards, before they amass enough resources to where they can really get to work.

    But some of them get too eager and jump the gun. The fascist party of Sweden, the Sweden Democrats, has had multiple instances of overtly rightwing extremist, racist, fascist Nazi shit unearthed by media, at which point leadership has felt the need to boot those members for the sake of current Overton window optics.

    Musk is definitely one of those kinds of Nazis, a stupid one. He just went out there and performed a Nazi salute on live international TV in 4K. He ostensibly reckons he’s rich enough and the Overton window is pushed far enough to where he can get away with it.

    But the number in your bank account is not the only number that can affect events. Power in numbers is what us in the 99% have, and should utilize. I love seeing the solidarity against Tesla resulting in notable hardships for the business. And if all else fails, Luigi only needs one well-timed shell to win.

    We’ll never rest again, until every Nazi dies.




  • Actually that’s just him getting into character.

    “I would paint my face with black and white make up to look like a Afro-Caribbean icon called Baron Samedi, or an Afro-New Orleans icon who is also called Baron Saturday. He is a spirit of death but he loves children; he’s very lustful, so he’s a conflict in forces. And I would put black contact lenses in my eyes so that you could see no white and no pupil, so I would look more like a skull or a white shark on attack. I would walk on the set looking like this, loaded with all these magical trinkets, and I wouldn’t say a word to my co-stars or crew or directors. I saw the fear in their eyes, and it was like oxygen to a forest fire. I believed I was the Ghost Rider.”
