go evil and fat on them style

He's a guy who got big writing political folk songs for social media. He has some good tunes, but a lot of his stuff is super topical so it loses luster on repeated listens. United Health is a good one. He's the answer to "What if Phil Ochs was a liberal", basically.

Shades of Eric Dungey in 2017

There's nothing morally wrong with damaging the vehicles of the people shooting rubber bullets at you in support of the gestapo

A text app screenshot of a poem entitled "Painted Tiger". I wrote it.

A screenshot of a text app poem named "Judge Rotenberg". I wrote this one too. The name is a reference to the Judge Rotenberg Center, which is a torture camp for autistic children and young adults that's operated in the US for decades.

I wrote a couple poems today, better than dealing with the smoke and the heat

I hadn't seen the news yet

I'll be real, I think he and Trump could be dead by then. JD Vance vs AOC or like Corey Booker or some dumb shit like that

Call your mom. Go visit them if you can. Life is short & sometimes there are no goodbyes. Let them know you love them.

We're all still arguing as if liberals believe this is a meaningful point when it's the rhetorical equivalent of burying their heads in the sand. Our country's accelerating off a cliff. They still want to split hairs because otherwise they'd have to admit that their ideology is dying.

The third world knows our whole humanitarian bent is reputation-laundering bullshit, it's why they've been increasingly dealing with China, who is willing to give them proper quid-pro-quo deals instead of trying to bilk them for everything they're worth and then coup-ing their gov for the trouble.

The US intentionally created the conditions in which these countries are reliant on us for things like HIV meds, because we treat the global south as an easily-manipulated resource bank and not as real countries with their own populations and goals. This change is from carrot-and-stick to just stick

The next big culture war is going to be mass famine and resource wars as our debt to the non-human domains of Earth comes due. How stupid are these guys that they're still buying into this bullshit? Is there no point where they'll ever wonder if they've been conned?

He's not wrong about the founding fathers, he's just pedantic and annoying, and it's puzzling why a liberal nationalist like him would even be willing to acknowledge that the founders were massive hypocritical pieces of shit. Usually those types think more idealistically.

Have you ever felt compelled to use the phrase "Satan's TT"?

the rest is still unwritten

Sure, I'm trying to. Why not? Will you? Or will you just find any possible reason to complain about people who are more willing to face the facts of biosphere collapse?

He would blush reading that description of himself.

"the water's getting warm so we might as well swim" -smash mouth

Why is it so tough for people to make the leap? They understand these are fascists, why can't they understand that they aren't going to give a shit about the lives of people they deport? ICE agents don't even think immigrants are human beings, of course they don't care about doing proper paperwork.

It's not out of the question, Saltwater Crocs have been known to stalk humans and wait for an opportune moment. If a particularly large and smart gator figured out that most of us are bad at swimming, he can just tip a boat for a free snack.

That seems incredibly silly, given that it assumes that people with money are smarter and/or more careful about what information they consume. It's a flattering idea for Atlantic readers, I'm sure, but it doesn't match up with reality.

So far most of the possible harm vectors aren't biological problems, it's physical obstruction. Their inertness is actually the main problem, they're accumulating in our bodies and gumming up the works.

We're killing the planet for Pepsi. Not even for anything cool, just bottles of Pepsi and shitty $12 hamburgers. It's fucking baffling. At what point is the future we're facing worse than CECOT? We need a dozen correlations to turn out non-causative, or we're boned for decades to come.

Being interested in natural sciences at all at this point just feels like being Dr Darling in this video. We fucked it up so badly. People don't get just how much is going to change over the next 50 years. We're not ready. youtu.be/VGUetEhNTRA

It's because he's a senile pedophile and can't help himself

You should visit Vermont, there's stuff everywhere up here named after him and the other Green Mountain Boys. Some people even fly their old battle flag alongside the state flag. You'd get a kick out of it.

The average american has one rapist friend

We gotta rip off the plastics bandaid at some point, they'll only continue to bioaccumulate the more we use them. Chairs and mattresses would prob get slightly shittier.
