It’s a rough moment when you realize any “falling out” between Epstein and Trump was likely because they became competitors and then you have to think about who took over operations after Epstein was imprisoned and then that’s just…a sobering thing to consider.

They Want Us to be Peasants The key to authoritarianism is a world where we are left in the dark

Fascism’s ultimate goal is to roll back all progress and recreate a state where a select few control everything, including our reality.

What you’re feeling living under this criminal regime is a preview of what kind of world they want us to live in.

Hey. You know how the kid punching the I Love Ice boy and the woman setting fire to a potential concentration camp felt good and right?

That’s your worldview starting to change in a very necessary way. Sit with it. Be gentle with yourself and sit with it. We’re going somewhere.

The only option we have now is to join hands and jump into the abyss together. Fear isn’t going to cut it. You’re not going to save your jobs or nest eggs and you’re not going to avoid the crushing boot of fascism unless you become a fascist and even then it isn’t certain.

We have a choice.

It happened just a bit ago. He then went to the cooler and loudly told people what to buy before he grabbed a giant Smirnoff drink.

If you’re not fully dissociating living in the US right now is just walking from one crazy scene after another with people having breakdowns as the veneer of normality just melts. It’s like Mad Max right before everybody moved to the desert and started modding cars.

Scene from an extremely cooked United States.

A trucker in a red, white, and blue outfit accosting two immigrants in a Pilot gas station on the benefits of raw sugar as I’ll Make Love To plays over the PA: “Here. Put it in your mouth. You won’t want anything else ever again.”

It is…tough out there

Shit like this airspace closure and conflicting reports about what did or didn’t happen is exactly what authoritarians and fascists want.

A world where we have no idea what’s going on and don’t trust anything we’re told by anybody is their perfect and desired environment.

Awesome. Let’s go. Burn it all the way down.

I mean, they already are.

The Democratic Party will either be taken over by leftists with no relationship to corporate donors, a desire to fight fascism, and a relationship with the base or there will be a new party altogether. That’s the situation and the party apparatchik who think otherwise are fooling themselves.

I’m asking ICE to curl up and die like a salted slug.

I’m asking for everyone who directed them to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.

And I’m asking for every quisling Democrat to walk the earth with ceaseless and unavoidable scorn.

Those are my demands.

Maybe I’m crazy but it’s probably not a good sign that a famous person is having to negotiate a hostage situation in public while the FB FUCKING I is led by a podcaster who’s too busy trying to get his girlfriend gigs to take care of this kind of shit and keep it from happening more.

It’s been pirated by every right wing influencer account so there’s literally no telling and all of them have armies of bots paid to increase views. My guess is 24 unique views.

We’re living in the fascist police state Alex Jones told everyone liberals would build and he’s deepthroating the boot while the sheeple he criticized risk everything

The fascists called us snowflakes and they’re wetting themselves over a halftime show and regular people are studying street warfare

Hurting Children is the Point: The Right Wing Authoritarian Mindset The motivation that hides in plain sight is the key to understanding what's happening

The Epstein horrors have made something clear that has hidden in plain sight and helps explain fascism and our present crisis.

The Right Wing is motivated by a desire to hurt children and make sure their lives and futures are destroyed.

Words are incredibly cheap. Actual leaders of a resistance should be putting their bodies on the line, working around the clock organizing a coalition and movement, taking fascists to task.

You’ve been fed scraps for so long a few aggressive words feels like a feast.

People are so desperate for some leadership that someone will give a speech that doesn’t sound like a room of centrist, corporate consultants typed it up and everyone starts asking if the guy is the front runner for president.

Demand. More. From. Politicians.

You only say that because it’s true.

Have you looked at a fucking poll in the last couple of years. The “left” at this point is a supermajority with no representation.

They’d much prefer Democrats said all the right things and smiled while the machine of fascist cruelty and exploitation chugged along just out of their sight and in another part of town or another country.

“Everything you’re saying about centrists would make it impossible to work with them in a coalition.”

Why in the living fuck do you think I would want to be part of a coalition with a group of people who have continually betrayed us and turned a blind eye to obvious cruelty and fascism?

“This genocide is terrible and wildly unpopular but there’s an election coming! Don’t criticize the president!”

“Maybe we can reform ICE.”

“Sure, I don’t think police should murder people but saying defunding them is going a little too far.”

How do you look yourself in the goddamn mirror?

To watch ICE murder people and abduct children and then have the gall to say “I totally stand against this but calling to end this could hurt our election chances.”

No, it won’t, and if you can’t stand against fascism you don’t deserve to win an election anyway.

The “independent voters” corporate democrats talk about are as real as the bullshit family Schumer always rambles about.

You’re just cowards who are too afraid to stand by your convictions because you know they’re unpopular and upsetting.

“You have to think about independent voters.”

No. You don’t. You’ve made them up in your head as a projection of what YOU believe but are too afraid to admit to others or even yourself.

The amount of people in denial in this country is absolutely wild.

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

Anybody asking for your vote or support shouldn’t hesitate to say ICE should be abolished and every motherfucker involved, top to bottom, arrested and thrown in jail.

That should be the moderate position on this issue.

What we have all been taught to refer to as “politics” is nothing but a diversionary theater produced to distract us as our money, resources, and rights are stolen. It’s a scam all the way down.

We have to recognize this scam for what it is and rediscover what it means to fight together.
