Always curious why QAnon isn't wrecking motherfuckers like this.

Oh right...

I do tend to wonder if the surveillance state is meant to be so hot why it seems to ignore so much serious or organized crime.

The media is damage control for the 1%/deep state.

It can be but I think ultimately its just infotainment, all about the benjamins and what sells, sells.

Every time some twit uses that term, I think of this book.

This is America. Start acting like Americans you treasonous, radical right fucks.

The fact that so many people refuse to keep themselves out of harms way and ignore the anyone encouraging them to do so has definitely made me reflect on what paternalism in different shapes or guises has done to the world.

I don’t support execution, but honestly, why don’t states just use firing squads? That’s usually a pretty quick and painless death and could technically not be considered cruel and unusual

Be born rich.

That's it pretty much in a nutshell.

I eagerly anticipate the Trump tweets trashing Arizona and Georgia's Republican administrations after they certified their state's results.

I misread this as 'White Christmas':

They want to go back to an era when they imagine White Christians ruled the roost and most Americans looked like them.

I had a dream last night that I was living in a world in which the rise of Trump and the subsequent Trump administration had been adapted into the Star Wars series, starting from the prequels and ending with Return of the Jedi.

Trump was Darth Vader
Mitch McConnell was Emperor Palpatine
Joe Biden was Luke
Barack Obama was Obi Wan Kenobi
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were Han Solo and Chewbacca
AOC was Princess Leia
Bernie Sanders was Yoda

Even the movie titles had been altered to reflect this shift in content:

Episode 1: The Phantom Menace became The Covfefe Menace
Episode 2: Attack of the Clones became Attack of the Recount
Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith became Revenge of the MAGA
Episode 4: A New Hope became A New Healthcare Plan
Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back became The Affordable Care Act Strikes Back
Episode 6: Return of the Jedi became Return of the Judiciary Branch

Some people dream about giving speech, only to discover they're actually naked. Some people dream about about kissing their high school crush. I dream about this sorta stuff...

Noticing the whole lizard conspiracy vibe.

The only problem with globalisation is that its corporate sponsored globalisation and the alternative, a popular globalisation, would be worthwhile. Its basically what internationalism was to early republicans, liberals, socialists etc.

Corporate sponsored globalism is a kind of imperialism without states or nationalistic markings.
