"I know a profound pattern that humans deny with words, even while their actions affirm it. They say they seek security and quiet, conditions they call Peace. Even as they speak they create seeds of turmoil and violence." - Leto II

I wish more people understood that we’re in the midst of a global far right resurgence, as the richest people in the world cling to power.

Shocking, right? Who could imagine such a thing as ostensible academics manufacturing bullshit in pursuit of an ideological goal? Inconceivable!

The country needs to tip into unrestrained blood and soil fascism so that a better more progressive party can emerge from the ashes is like all apocalyptic fantasies: making some big assumptions about who exactly is going to make it through

i don’t actually know this, this isn’t a rhetorical question, but, like, do other representative democracies expect that their heads of state maintain 14-16 hour a day, 7 day a week schedules, or is that just specific to our national obsession with looking busy?

I learned his platform was that 99s (ice cream bars) should cost 99 pence, which is a genius and absolutely correct campaign platform.

I mean, I dunno, given that his stance on Brexit ("It will be a shitshow") was far more correct than a lot of the people who WERE in charge of vital things, he can't do much worse.

I think the media would fall all over themselves to present her as Harris' political mirror image. I think they'd normalize her in about two seconds flat. Would it work? Got me, but since we're doing existential horror today i thought it'd be fun.

One guy lost his train of thought, pretty embarrassingly, in a debate one night. The other talks about sharks and Hannibal Lechter and thinks some airplanes are invisible, and hoards paperwork, some classified, in the bathroom in his own personal Versailles.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).
