  • It was always about a campaign of terror and the charade of “doing something“.

    For over 45 years, the “war on drugs“ was lost before it began. Drugs won. Why? Because everyone loves drugs. And the only way to win the “war on drugs“ is to reduce or eliminate the reasons why people want to use drugs in the first place: because they’re fucking miserable. Happy people don’t use drugs. Well, not the bad drugs. Happy people like smoking weed, but weed isn’t really one of the “bad drugs”. Anyway…

    No, no… All of this was performative bullshit to make the “strong men” look strong when, in fact, they all knew it wouldn’t really accomplish anything other than making the American public think that they were actually accomplishing something. Which, of course, they weren’t. Nothing, aside from, of course, the stochastic terror they have been perpetrating upon everyone. and murdering brown people, which the Nazis in the current administration, love, regardless of the purpose or end result.


  • I was not very interested in seeing the new The Odyssey film, but considering the nonstop conniption fit that the MAGAs keeps having about it, now I absolutely have to see it. Certainly, it must be a cinematic masterpiece if it makes them this angry.

    It has been my experience that any film’s artistic value (or that of any artistic work, for that matter) is directly proportional to how angry it makes the MAGA crowd. At this point, it’s practically the strongest endorsement of an artistic work’s intrinsic value.

    And I can’t imagine a better version of it than seeing it acted out in the oeuvre of The Muppets.

    Oy gevalt … OK, I may be an idiot for entertaining this… Conjuncture… but, I’m also pretty open minded, and this is the time where we need to listen to a lot of new voices

    Go on now. Explain exactly what you mean by this. Start from the beginning, and ELI5. I’m listening

    And if you expect me to take you seriously, include references from reliable sources.

    Edit: you can dispense with the anti-Zionism bullshit. Yes I understand. Israel is committing a genocide against Palestine (and currently Lebanon) and all that. Just because I’m a Jew doesn’t mean I’m a Zionist. Let’s move on from that point.
