I’ve seen all our known planets with my own eyes, including Pluto. Not many can say that.

I have also had a wild bird land on my finger while leaning against a rail one morning; groggy, motionless, and unsuspecting. I screamed when I felt the grip of strong tiny claws and hurled it back into the sky.

I believe that still technically makes me a Disney princess.

Out of chicks at the local farm stores too.

I read the Bible. I watched the way believers treated others, and learned how they saw the world. I realized how poorly adjusted I was for interacting with anyone besides other believers. I left the church and learned how to become a better person. It was a tremendous amount of humbling work, and frankly, I’d rather have learned it earlier.

Well, that’s certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I’ve got shelves of neglected books that need attention.

Yet comparing all socialism to the Soviet Union is exactly what you did. The fact that Russian revolutionaries failed to eliminate dictatorship does not invalidate the philosophy of communism, it just demonstrated that Russia was unable to overcome their own social inertia.

Russia was always brutal to their people and to their neighbors, for centuries. They stayed that way as Soviets, and they haven’t changed from it as capitalists. Abusing the working class is a violation of communist principles, not an inherent feature.

Let me guess. Post-Russian? Don’t blame communism for Russia’s glaring flaws.

You too can email Elon’s HR team.

Oh, I don’t think we’re doomed at all. They are. Just look at the damned fools overplaying their hand. I was merely pointing out the stakes. They are existential. It’s us or them, by their own account. Maybe you and I disagree about that.

Of course the Constitution doesn’t matter. It’s a piece of paper with words on it – better ideas by better people have been uttered for centuries. We can, indeed we must, do better. Furthermore, it is currently sitting defenseless against a proverbial serial arsonist. But it’s past its prime regardless how they wipe their collective ass with it.

I was there dude. I was a devout member of the Evangelical movement before gay marriage bans were overturned. Their reaction is one of the reasons I left. They hate the gays. You think it’s just a light smattering of bigotry? It’s way beyond that. Those people are in charge now. They’re all cozy with the billionaires, or so they think. They want to nuke the Middle East to make Jesus come back, and they’ve got the red button now. They’re hateful, evil, arrogant, delusional, and insane. They’ve been waiting for decades for the chance to get rid of the gays, and they miss the times back when they could. This is the best chance they’ll ever get. Yes, they’re gonna go for it. The billionaires do not give a fuck about anybody, but are happy to throw them a bone, as the powerful always do with the gullible.

But sure, theConstitution will stop them. Any day now.

I’m glad we agree on something. You might say you care about these issues the same or even more than your downvoters, but you’re in denial that it can’t get worse, that our enemies are “too smart” not to capitalize on keeping us alive and happy. I doubt that. We care about these things just like you, but you might take it more seriously in light of history.

Nah, everything you said was all just staggeringly naive and amounts to nothing more than “they can’t do that, it’s unconstitutional!”

The ultrawealthy want us all dead or enslaved, and nothing else will do.

They randomly kill members of the working class every single day, and you barely even notice.

They’re evil, and absolutely yes, they’re fucking stupid. They aren’t gonna go to all the trouble of a fair trial and appeals, they just want to kill whoever they want, when and where they find them.

Dude, they want to decree all gays as pedos and give them the death penalty.

And you’re going, "they can’t do that! That’s illegal!

Seriously?

Hurry Elon, hurry. Godspeed.

They want slaves.

Too easy for the rich to get out. Bring out the guillotines.

Replacing the top people with incompetents.

Give me a kiss to build a dream on And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss Sweetheart, I ask no more than this A kiss to build a dream on

After what I’ve seen at sea, I’m gonna guess that’s the merchant vessel’s fault.

It sure ain’t, but if we ever manage to interbreed away the very concept of race, then good riddance. Us white people were never special.
