Attention, all "progressive" types: are you angry and disgusted by what Republicans are doing to Haitians right now?YOU were doing the same to sex workers all through the Teens, until "Pizzagate" and QAnon forced y'all to let Trumpists have that narrative.And I will never let y'all forget it.

Honestly, I thought I was later than that; I dawdled for a couple of months after getting my first invite.

Whatever an individual chooses to do with their time, body, money, and brain is nobody's business but their own, and CERTAINLY not the government's, as long as it hurts nobody else.Everyone understands this deep down, which is why control freaks keep trying to expand the definition of "harm".

This is very, very good; it's rare I see an article which portrays the problems with US politics so clearly and recognizes partisanism for what it is. http://www.bostonreview.net/forum/the-ca…

The advantage of this for cops is that their videos go from being reviewed by entities with only rudimentary consciences, to being reviewed by entities with absolutely no conscience whatsoever. http://www.npr.org/2024/09/23/n…

I *wish* this were only a GOP thing, but it isn't. "See Something, Say Something" dogma has been promoted by both parties in the duopoly for a generation, largely in the service of campaigns to inflict police violence on women and drug users, but also to promote single-side hobby-horses.

When a person's brain is so small and weak it can only conceive of two possible positions on any issue, it's no surprise to see such a mind switch from one extreme belief to another.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the US, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'.” ― I. Asimov

"Some people…embrace [politicians] and…idealize them…in the way that fans treat celebrities, or that medieval peasants treated kings. Not only is this unhealthy for the fabric of…society; it is unrealistic. You cannot be a fully moral person and be elected president of the US".

Prohibitionist "dopamine" propaganda (against drugs, porn, video games, etc) is just puritans straight-out declaring that they are against pleasure, and most Americans being much too stupid to understand what they're being directly told.

REAL protest targets the people the protesters disagree with, rather than fine art or people trying to drive somewhere.

"The Supreme Court’s devotion to finality in case outcomes is built upon the fiction that justice is not only possible but almost certain during the trial process. Nothing could be further from the truth. " http://www.teenvogue.com/story/robert…
