The Quuuuuill

breakfast is the one meal a day you can just only have dessert and get away with it somehow like you don’t have an emotional problem

same with corporations not hiring diverse staffs unless they’re forced. none ofethis is actually about money, the economy, or the price of eggs. it’s all about colonialism, genocide, and hate

oh man. we’re the og fascists. our policies inspired european fascism. we’ve done all the key components of a fascist regime before: the forced labor, the death camps, the mass surveilance, the overt militarism, the desperate need to expand and get rid of the people who were already there

“uh uh. you aren’t doing that shit to me again”

meanwhile, on the other side of the atlantic

“spy on me daddy”

the good news is this is a lesson to never trust any entity whose role in the world is to accumulate capital

for some of us, particularly queer, black, trans, women, immigrant, and indigenous people, the stakes are higher than “i don’t personally agree with the ceo of proton.” our lives are being endangered both by the new admin’s policies as well as the emboldened cult associated with it.

this is not a “spaz” (offensive term by the way, so thanks for that) or brat move. it’s simply us doing what people always say to do: voting with our wallets. this move is bad for a lot of people. i’m thrilled for you that it’s not bad, but i ask you to see us saying it is bad not as your enemy, but as people who are vulnerable asking you to take a longer look at the bigger picture

yeah i know. but it’s still fascinating watching every american’s desperation hail mary country getting threatened with a little bit of anschluss

good thing we’ve put safeguards in place to prevent someone with ongoing investigations of criminal wrongdoing from having power in the US government.

what’s that?

we don’t?

in fact the only sure fire way to get away with your crimes is to get power in government?

well i guess at least the world’s richest dickhead won’t have much power since he’s a neophyte.

what’s that?

he’s going to have the most power?

well that’s terrible. guess i should move somewhere safe, so called canada.

what’s that?

well fuck me.

passage of the PATRIOT ACT

exactly

i think this says more about what they think is acceptable than it says about how culpable they’re worried about being found

we’ve been living in 1984 since 2002

mass market media can only understand the world through the lens of mass market media

and they are locked in thanks to the power of sunk cost fallacy

you may be right in this specific case. when i said “i bet” i was taking a gamble. i based my gamble based on the sequencing of events i watched my friend go through. i’m sure you’re right that it’s played out the opposite direction, and that even for my friend her husband becoming authoritarian leadind to their divorce made her husband even more entrenched in that mindset.

i’m proud of you for waking up

yeah and i bet that shit was the reason for the divorce. i got a friend who lost her husband down the right wing rabbithole and now she’s processing the grief of losing someone she loved to something so goddamn stupid

that’s not pretending. that’s who the repuplicans are

those maga idiots will use that as proof there’s a global conspiracy against america and that their only protection is donald trump

“we hate gays”
