We live in a timeline where Libertarians have more sense than the alt-left

Here’s Trump getting booed…

Trump being rotund asking for votes. This is the Same timeline as Libertarians having more sense than students getting their DoorDash sent to their hunger strike before receiving a degree in imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens

We are getting ready to expand our Torment Nexus experiences in your region.

To help bring these experiences to you we will kidnap your firstborn, based on our legitimate interest.

This means you have a right to object. If your objection is honored we might return your firstborn at some point.

We have updated our firstborn policy. Pray we don't update it any further.

We face "an information deficit and a disinformation surfeit." A March poll revealed most respondents "unaware of Trump’s criminal charges, dictator threats, use of fascist language" & vows to pardon convicted insurrectionists.

Too many pretend "it can't happen here."

I’m just gonna say it — this “Genocide Joe” thing is the dumbest fucking liberal shit I have seen in years.

Joe Biden can do more to try to rein in Israel, but Biden doesn’t run Israel. He isn’t CIC for IDF. He isn’t deciding what hospital to bomb. He isn’t deciding what border crossings to close.

You know who is pushing the Genocide Joe narrative? The fucking Russians and the Israelis. Why is that? Well, it’s an election year, and Trump is a hard right, pro-Israel puppet.

@mcnado

The voices spewing “Genocide Joe” propaganda are either:
a) Pro-Russian, pro-Putin trolls actively attempting to suppress voting
b) Anti-democracy provocateurs who violently oppose the entire concept of voting
c) Ignorant dupes who believe that voting is stupid because its too much work

None of these groups gives a shit about Gaza, Israel, Darfur, Myanmar or any other humanitarian disaster except insofar as they are a proxy for their own grievances with the world.

When I moved to St. Louis in the 1980s, I would eat breakfast at a downtown diner called O. T. Hodge’s Chile Parlor. Once a week, a group of older guys would gather in the diner. At first I groused about how they hogged the space. Then I noticed something. …

A growing number of parents are deciding not to get their children vaccinated against measles, as well as diseases like polio and pertussis, due to a flood of misinformation - rhetoric that erodes confidence in the science backing routine childhood vaccines.

A thing that seems historically demonstrable: this current wave of fascist creep and repression of civil liberties will not last forever

A corresponding historically demonstrable fear: the currently-rising order seems likely to do catastrophic harm to bodies and to communities, and to take a lot (A LOT) of lives between this moment and whenever a widely-shared peace and expanding context of collective well being next takes hold

I have come to believe that the biggest enemy to meaningful resistance within liberal civil society is the discomfort (and thus the unappealingness) of cognitive dissonance combined with 'peaceful relations' as a personal and collective value.

“The same goes for the flying of an flag at Justice ’s vacation house along the NJ shore. Like the flag, this is viewed by a great many people as a banner of allegiance on issues that are or could be before .

“…In 4 decades as a , I have known scores, possibly hundreds, of federal trial & appellate pretty well. I can’t think of a single one, no matter who appointed her or him, who has engaged or would engage in conduct like that. You just don’t do that sort of thing, whether it may be considered over the line, or just edging up to the margin. Flying those flags was tantamount to sticking a ‘Stop the steal’ bumper sticker on your car. You just don’t do it.”
