jc denton: paul, i've got a new catchphrase.

paul denton: which is?

jc: "welcome to the wikipedia experience, bitch." and then i shoot them.

paul: what is this supposed to convey?

jc: well, i'm still working on that part. but they'd be dead, so maybe it doesn't matter.

paul: mmm.

more and more they feel shit like the transphobia and the Doing Fuck All About ICE is inevitable, that dems won't move at all no matter what, so they go through a long rigamarole to construct something that makes this 'pragmatic' while redirecting their anger towards people who will actually respond

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.

It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

i feel for all the radical centrists out there now confronting the fact that their ideology was the one built in a bubble and formed by groupthink. with enough exposure to facts and logic they will, some day god willing, catch up to the left
UNTIL RECENTLY, I resisted using the F-word to describe President Trump. For one thing, there were too many elements of classical fascism that didn't seem to fit. For another, the term has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action. For yet another, the term is hazily

seeing "the slogan was stupid" w/defund bubble up again and am again going to say that it did not and does not matter, and also, winning over voters is not the important part.

because we've passed police reforms before. skimpy, but they're there.

enforcing them, however? seemingly impossible.

It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.

the DHS socials are staffed by actual nazis designed to make posts that appeal to nazis, they want genuine believers in a white state. there is not a single ICE agent that “is just following orders”, they’re all buying into an intentionally fascistic project

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

from a script about Disco Elysium I was working on
moralism Moralists don’t bother with “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”; the moralist simply says, “you can’t beat them.” Contend with the horrors of capital with radical acceptance. It is what it is. Capital is what we have to work with; of what pragmatic use is conscience? There are two genocides on offer, one larger, one smaller. Worry not about injustice, worry not about grief, about pain: one or the other is going to happen, which is closer to your goal? Think in terms of sums on a ledger. No right, no wrong, just motion towards or away from… whatever it is you’re trying to do. It’s a kind of seductive joylessness. A relief from moral crisis by leaving morals out of it. Centrists don’t care what’s good, they care what’s feasible, which means, if you make good things feasible, you can get results working with moralists. The crushing irony of the only movement that can accomplish anything good in this world being the one that does not concern itself with goodness. But to work with moralists, you must speak their language. You will have to make arguments in favor of “small genocide,” you will have to put yourself in conflict with people who oppose “small genocide,” and you will have to accept that there are arguments - made by your compatriots - that the shelling of Revachol, from a certain point of view, was… productive. After all, the Moralists are the ones who did it. The war crime that stabilizes a region is not, to them, a “necessary evil”; if it was necessary, it was no evil at all. Why shed tears for what needed to happen?

Pulitzer prize for this Jay L. Clenendin image of LAPD stormtroopers in front of Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)"
About 3 dozen LAPD officers in full riot gear, standing around looking confused, bored, aimless. A waste of taxpayer money, a threatening show of force without morality or purpose. Behind them, the north wall of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, covered with Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" mural: against a field of stark red, white letters that read, in part, WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST
