Keep in mind that they don’t need tanks, drones, and bullets to kill people. Covid was a great example of that. The attacks on our health infrastructure continue unopposed now.
Did army stuff. Then federal stuff. Now do mountain, coffee, fire, EMS stuff “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" “A Russian zombie state, if you can keep it.”

The kinetic pieces of this war, which is a global war, are currently focused mostly on Ukraine & Gaza. I don’t expect it to stop there. They’re just the beginning. Domestically, people will be left with few options outside asymmetrical warfare—aka terrorism. Anyone’s guess after that.

To be fair, everyone has disappeared how much of a fuckup HRC and Kerry and Biden made by voting for Bush’s war. People see no connection between their wrongness on the biggest issue of the 21st century and the party’s presidential losses. I do.

No idea what’s going on with his health but I urge caution with jumping to conclusions. I remember when he caught Covid. They built up the suspense and let us all wonder what was going to happen to him. Then he made an appearance and put on a WWE caliber show of pulling his mask off. They ate it up.

It’s reflected in the humor of both the BB & Gen X (who learned it from them) where humor was almost always at someone’s expense. Millennial & Gen Z have not only abandoned that humor, they have rendered it unfunny, unintelligent, & embarrassing. They don’t tear people down for a laugh.

I’ve long believed that one of the biggest ripple effects of WW2 was the impact it had on their children. In some ways it was good & necessary. Drove counter culture & challenged things like segregation, sex, & war. On another level, it was deeply insecure & often required a target to enjoy itself.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Hard truth time. Biden & Harris both ran on the existential threat of Trump. Biden was our one chance to stop a foreign backed fascist coup. He did nothing. Harris rolled over on elctn night after people with means motive history & opportunity to rig it declared victory. That’s what’s depressing us.

From Highway Patrol to Sidewalk Patrol. Reminder that police are social mechanics. Their job is to keep the social order running smoothly so that those running it can continue to benefit from it. There is nothing as terrifying to those giving the orders as a threat to the work week.
