fascism is fun cause it is not and people are dying and society is collapsing and we have to fight for our lives and the lives of others until we die

John Wayne was a (draft dodging) fake, Trump is a fraud (and draft dodger), Hegseth is a sad tv puppet who can't even do a pull up right... if Americans recognized real courage and bravery they would all love

as bleak as things are, I gotta say I am damned proud of all the Americans on the streets, prostesting, feeding and helping minorities, yelling at and fighting against nazis, and just generally caring about the other.... it warms my cold dry heart...

ok, everybody, if you know of a maga, libertarian, or any of those "there's two sides" guys, grab 'em and make them watch Haneke's The White Ribbon on a loop Alex in the Clockwork Orange style until they get it...

joke's on you I don't even have one unsigned copy! (I think my wife has one around...)

I do have a signed copy of Rushdie's Satanic Verses, and one of Derrida's D'un ton apocalyptique...

can you imagine if Americans listened to historians, sociologists, philosophers, and all types of experts instead of B celebrities, opportunistic pundits, and “influencers”? woah… bruh

She Had Elon’s Baby. Then, the Leopards Ate Her Face.
She Had Elon’s Baby. Then, the Leopards Ate Her Face. YouTube video by matt bernstein

youtu.be/KG-pL7aZoeY?... while it has a silly title, this episode of Matt Bernstein’s podcast with former MAGA figure Ashley St. Clair is really good to understand the grifting and completely immoral ideology of the MAGA movement.

“I do not know how to rid the world of evil, or whether one is simply supposed to endure it. But you are there and are having an effect, and the poems have an effect of their own and help to protect you—that is the answer and a counterbalance in this world.”

— Ingeborg Bachmann to Paul Celan, 1958

Obama's and the dems full on STEM only, technical, career focused education helped to this mess, and I still have to see any of them proposing a strong humanities education as a defense against undemocratic ideologies and ignorance...
