It's time for humanity to learn that conservatism is not a legitimate part of some balanced political "spectrum", but rather a synonym for *stubborn childish resistance to inevitable social change* (i.e. immaturity) that leads directly to tyranny.

I wonder is RFKjr has any idea he's a useful idiot to another useful idiot. I mean, that's getting pretty far down the useful idiot ladder.
Funny how the right, whose MO is socio-political violence of every kind, is quick to performatively condemn it only when one of their own is threatened. So *your* violence, which is gratuitous & cruel, is acceptable; but the violence you *leave us no other alternative to* is not. Got it.
Money buys elections in the US because too many of us embrace willful stupidity.
Everyone should see this. It's largely about how Authoritarianism can only take hold in a society willing to embrace infantile ignorance. youtu.be/BtG9ZM-ZHnY?...
It's appalling that *advertising* has *any effect at all* on how we vote. Are we Pavlov's dogs? Are we NPC's? Do that many of us really crave so deeply the comfort of unthinking ignorance?
Part of the problem (the root, perhaps?) is that so many humans go through life with so little agency in their own thinking that they *might as well be* NPC's.
i keep going back and re-reading this.
A grievous collective moral failure that *wrongs the whole planet."
I'll say it again, differently; the *populace* of the US *allowing* 45 to *continue* (in every sense of that word) is a *grievous* *collective* *moral* *failure*.

Just as humans have moral responsibility towards one another, so do nations. The United States, by *allowing* 45 to *continue*, is failing miserably at this.
Yes.
I'm tickled by the implication that there are *multiple* Feminist-Brutal-Death-Metal bands to choose from.
That is EXACTLY what a kazoo sounds like. 🙃

I'm most apalled by the manner of casual comfort displayed by trump appointees when publicly saying things it is *not possible* for them to believe are true.
Bowie (among other greats) held that artists do their best work when they're slightly out of their depth. Lately, my songs manifest less often, but I also feel they're saying exactly what I want them to say. Very satisfying; but I wonder if I'm playing too safe. Further research etc.

The deeper truth of this is that they (fascists) were presented, in formative years, with false & empty substitutes for love, & a hunger for the false & empty can never be satisfied. It's true they don't want actual love; but this is primarily because they literally don't know what it is.

"I’m not just talking about my wife...I’m talking about everybody, I’m talking about form, I’m talking about content, I’m talking about interrelationships. I’m talking about God, the devil, hell, heaven - " [paraphrased]
Also it is perhaps inaccurate to claim one medium's inherent superiority over another as you seem to be implying. It's not "stealing" unless the author of the source material isn't paid
Mozart took Figaro from a popular play. Shakespeare got Midsummer Night's Dream from folk tales. Faust has been retold countless times, each with wildly different meanings. I could go on ad infinitum. Works derived from other works will never stop, nor should it.
What I don't understand is the attitude that any adaptation of any work into a different medium or format can "ruin" it. Surely the book does not instantly go out of print the moment a film is made...? And surely there is infinite possibility of other adaptations, both good and bad...? Calm down.
If you're a billionaire, or have access to & control over billions, and you're *not* trying your hardest to *give it all away*, then you *are a sociopath*. You are deeply sick. Get help.

NOTHING in life should EVER be "about" money AT ALL. Money as a life measure is ALWAYS AND EXCLUSIVELY a false idol, a false goal, a false god. Iit is very falsehood itself. That's why hunger for money, like hunger for power, can never EVER be satisfied. These things are empty calories.
There is literally no such thing as "woke mibd virus." There is literally zero reason to believe in this. His insistence that there is any such thing should serve as proof positive that this man is actually dumb as a rock.
Love this.
That just looks super neato.
Not even saying you can't have a significant amount more than you practically *need*; but being a billionaire just means you're a sociopath. Literally.
There is literally no such thing as a rich liberal; if you are truly liberal, you can't stay rich for long.

"Hello, Batsy."
Wealthy celebrities with influential voices who *won't* risk any of their obscene profits to do what's responsible and right and publicly TAKE A SIDE against the Trump regime make me sick. So no, I'm not fucking interested in pictures of your fucking engagement ring.
Can't read your tone in that remark.
Our library has a stately "Reading Room", wherein old school library silence is enforced. I find it frankly religious. As I write this, I am enraptured by the spectacle of a dozen or so humans in one of my favorite human conditions; *Quiet*.
We must grow & up & out of the infantility of organized religion. Believing in Santa Claus, (who is after all just a beginner's version of god), for example, gives children a needed sense of false security to later outgrow in order to stand on their own 2 feet. Humanity as a whole MUST do the same.
"Organized religion" (a contradiction in terms) is *the* training ground for "groupthink". "Art is All the Religion We Need" because Art - even bad Art - encourages *thinking*. *Organized* Religion (1 work of Art made dogma) discourages it & helps only the power hungry, never the masses.

I often blame my abrupt switch from [all other social media except YouTube] to Bluesky & the resulting loss of online contacts for my current sense that I'm shrieking into a void. Until I'm reminded that no one was listening before either.

This can't actually be the real world.
No.
Not a GoT fan, exactly; nonetheless, I have 4 words for Donald Trump, & those words are; 1. Ramsay Bolton 2. "Loyal creatures"
Don't care how silly it sounds; if humanity is saved, Art will save it. Time will prove this. Making Art is our very Humanity. The most magical humans I know are my kids, for whom I live and die. Losing them made me want death; I live to not hurt them. They're why I find humanity worth saving.
The article is right that tyrants fall. But *waiting* just won't do. It only makes us complcit.
I wish I believed this article, but the anti-bullying tactics (like withholding attention) only work early on. Too late; this creature must be destroyed by aggressive force. It's our own fault but we have to. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It happened within the last 48 hours. The sections have since been restored and the Library of Congress has stated it was due to a "coding error". I'm still skeptical of the idea that the removal of those specific sections, however short-lived, was a coincidence.
Literally the entire point of the USA is that we don't have monarchs or dictators. If you still don't think Donald Trump is a traitor who MUST be removed, you are simply and objectively incorrect. It is not a matter of opinion. You're just wrong. bsky.app/profile/qasi...
God shouldn't get your loyalty; the *invention* of God SHOULD. ART, the making of Meaning *ITSELF* is alone worthy of worship. Problem is we're not mature enough to sustain devotion to an abstraction, like the constitution, *rather than* to a person. That's where the whole world is going wrong.

The pitiful creature *risks nuclear war* to distract from EpsteinGate.
You should hear the weird shit I DON'T say.
Almost disappointing, in this context, that there IS no hell. Gosh did I say that out loud...
It's really hard work to [pretend to] be a lieralist about god. Not only must you believe, you must *believe that* you believe. And the truth is you don't.
Cleaving to the *idea* of god rather than treating god as objective reality is not the same as atheism. After all, our so-called "personalities" are equally fictional. The question "do you believe in god" is a semantic trap to which no sensible answer can be given. Do you believe in you?
And if there's a hell, the wilfully blind are absolutely going there. youtube.com/shorts/X3p2a...
God damned wretched evil filthy pig regardless.
