Lust for Throwback Thursday

Posted in History, Miscellaneous, Philosophy, Tyranny, tagged , , , , , , , on February 19, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Roughly 60% of prostitution charges in the US result from the charged sex worker becoming the victim of some crime.  –  “Micromanagement (#1213)”

Denying bright kids honors or AP classes doesn’t make you a champion of the proletariat; it makes you an abuser.
–  “Little Puppets”

The Kennedy era…was…an…odd little interlude, no longer the ’50s but not yet what we think of as the ’60s.
–  “The Space Age”

It is only wrong to lie to individual human beings. Lying to collectives (including governments) and their functionaries (including cops) is often moral, especially when those collectives are engaged in evil.  –  “Tweet Tooth”

Throwback Thursday’s Lover

Actual civilized adults are comfortable with individuals being individual, without any sick need to target them with violent attempts at control.  –  “Brand X”

 

Useful idiots can always be counted on to eagerly lick up whatever toxic sludge cops vomit all over their upturned faces as they kneel in obeisance before the police state.
–  “Lack of Evidence (#1312)”

 

Attention, state-level politicians: the watchword is “Balkanization”.  –  “Balkanization”

The self-appointed TV watchdogs who were so common in the late ’70s and early ’80s…raised a huge public stink about any show that might be too intense for a timid 6-year-old with a nervous disorder.
–  “Diary #605”

 

It’s sad to see how many people still want to believe that actual sex workers with individual human personalities could be replaced by plastic dolls or computer-generated images without minds.  –  “The Pygmalion Fallacy (#1310)”

 

Millions of people in the developed world, acting individually or collectively, feel completely justified in digging into the affairs of those who have different beliefs from them, in hope of discovering some transgression or mistake that can be used to destroy the victim’s life with the help of faceless, merciless corporations and institutions.  –  “O.B.I.T.”

Throwback Thursday: A Love Story

The idea that words entered into a computer program constitute “verbal abuse” is like something out of a Monty Python sketch.  –  “The Pygmalion Fallacy (#1208)”

[Allowing] “serious artistic significance” [to] be determined by politicians…is a bit like asking a panel of tone-deaf 11-year-olds to discuss the relative merits of Bach cantatas.  –  “Thought Control (#1308)”

When the state or its pet media want to infantilize young adults, they are referred to as “children”.  But when they want to downplay a cop’s horrendous crimes, prepubescent children become “minors” and “juveniles”, as though they were 16 or 17.  –  “To Molest and Rape (#1407)”

Women who have never done sex work really never stop being naive about male sexuality.  –  “Same As It Ever Was“

The Establishment…includes politicians, cops, bureaucrats, banks, well-connected corporations, institutions, academia, NGOs, the mainstream press…all the interconnected parts of the fascist regimes which act collectively to corral people into easily-managed herds.
–  “The Establishment”

Trust is not something that can merely be given; it must be earned.
–  “The Real Red Flag”

The entire reason people care so much about how the rulers get chosen is that they are far too powerful.
–  “Minarchy, Monarchy”

A democracy in which there are functionally only two parties is not sustainable.  –  “Chicken Soup with Tweets“

A one predisposed to disobedience since childhood, who has suffered social censure for that inclination since the early 1970s, I've always viewed the American self-image as "rebellious" as a crock of self-aggrandizing bullshit.

My paternal line did not emigrate to America; America bought our home from Napoleon. IOW America chose *us* rather than vice-versa.My late friend Grace's ancestors were here long before the 1st Europeans.And both of us would tell you that people sworn in this morning are just as American as us.

My X's anniversary is also MY anniversary, though I would nor more expect a computer to grasp that than I would trust it to compose a post on the topic, presuming I was such a narcissist that I would request such a childish thing.

The process of obtaining a literature degree taught me that "literary" fiction is rarely better than genre fiction, and frequently worse.

I have often said that modern US "conservatives" long for an imaginary past, while modern US "progressives" long for an imaginary future.

The very fact that there is no murderer registry tells you everything you need to know about the "sex offender" registry.

My turn! It just dawned on me that if the ICE agent were a circus clown, and the woman the ghost of Anne Boleyn, and the roles were reversed, but the ghost threw her head at the clown instead of shooting him, he could juggle it and The Coulrophobia Lobby would be fully on the side of the ghost.

Perhaps if you'd stop calling politicians "leaders", they'd stop treating y'all like followers.

Claims about what politicians and bureaucrats “intended”…are…nothing but an excuse for evil.
–  “The Road to Hell”

“AI” is a fantasy of techies, journalists, and hack sci-fi writers.  –  “Artificial ‘Intelligence’?”

If you think I’m going to let the people who aided and abetted the most violent and widespread campaign of persecution against sex workers in American history get away with pretending they were on the side of truth all along, you must not have read very much of my work.
–  “New Year’s Eve 2021”

People would be a lot happier if they could truly learn the difference between “I want” and “I reasonably expect to get in the actual world that exists”.  –  “Life As It Is”

In the big picture, any order we manage to impose on the universe is as ephemeral as a sand castle, and will soon be obliterated by time and tide.  –  “The Big Picture”

The moral panic is over, but its rotten fruit have burst, spewing xenophobic, anti-sex, authoritarian poison all over American society.  –  “New Year’s Eve 2024“
