It's literally NOT DIFFICULT. I spent the morning talking panicking people off metaphorical ledges. With simple logic and calm observations of fact. I am livid about the ONCE AGAIN HORRENDOUS MESSAGING PROBLEM of the Democratic party. It's ALWAYS the messaging with these fuckwads.

One thing that anti-woke “comedy” is good for is exposing differentiators between normal decent people, for whom freedom is simply the right to exist without being dehumanized and bullied, and conservatives, for whom freedom is mostly the right to dehumanize and bully others.

"This person is Bad, so this person must be Good" is child thinking. You need to get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes there is no Good Guy. Sometimes it's just shitbags all the way down.

As an originalist, I believe the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects from infringement only the right to bear arms that existed in 1787. Like a musket. The amendment is based on the need for a well-regulated militia, so there should be many regulations too.

If you make any kind of art and call yourself a "content creator" I will go angry mom on your ass so fast. "Content" is corporate pabulum. You make art. Call yourself an artist, hold your head up high, and don't help bean-counters and empty suits to degrade you. They'll do that on their own.

Let's be clear, when mayors say they want to ban masks for "safety", they couldn't care less about public safety. What the mean is they want to see faces for surveillance purposes. They care about criminalizing your right to protest not your health or safety.

The propaganda against COVID safety and solidarity is one of the biggest cultural counter-revolutionary moments in modern history. People are flat out saying that disabled people being excluded from society is acceptable collateral damage and people just accept it.

It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.

I'm increasingly positive that Congressional Democrats' key psychological drive is obtaining praise from teacher (qua the public) for being the most saintly rule follower, and then wondering aloud why the GOP keeps shoving them in lockers. Just punch back FFS, eg accuse the GOP of censorship 🤷

3. If your business model involves violating copyright law on an unprecidented scale to destroy another industry with an inferior product just long enough for you to escape with bags of cash before lawmakers catch on — You’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Pilot project after pilot project show results very similar to this, but no one will fully fund and launch this as a nationwide program. Imagine how much good we could do if the GOP didn't have a death grip on the media and occupying the Dem priorities.
