    Once you have so much it’s obscene, you don’t have any peers.

    Without peers, you don’t have true accountability. Without accountability man becomes monster

    It should be in the DSM, seriously. Then we can argue we’re legislating a maximum annual income limit for their own good, to protect their mental health - and we wouldn’t be lying in the least.

    Ever met a wealthy child?

    Monsters. All of em. #eattherich

    The truly sad part too, is real connection to the past, to humanity, that wave of empathy and seeing your place in the chain, happens when we are doing the same mundane things that those chucklefucks think their too good for. First time it happened to me I was meading the dough for some daily bread. And it was like the history of my ancestors and I all merged into one, all around this one activity.

    People without people aren’t people.


  • I mean…Russia stands to benefit the most from climate change. Followed by Canada.

    A few degrees centigrade and just about everything below the 40th parallel become unhabitable. That leaves the northern border states in the US. 350million of us gonna squeeze into Washington, Montana (fuck Idaho) N.Dakota Minnesota, NY, New Hampy, Verminion and Maine? IDK about that.

    For the first 20 years of my life I thought we would step up and have a plan to avoid the worst. That next 20 years I was waiting for real coordination to be heard over the politicking. The last few years I realized we do have a plan. And that plan is the exact one I thought was waaaay too barbaric for modern times but now I’m convinced it’s the only outcome we’ve planned for at all.

    And that’s to build the wall and drop a machine gun every 20ft. There’s ~200million people between us and South America and the army has way way more ammunition stored up than just that.

    So the choice of having the world’s rich humbled down to the common man and we all degrowth or slaughter 200million people, America has chosen blood.

    I’m a big fan of two different but similar thoughts.

    When a person tells you who/what they are, believe them

    And

    I judge things based on what they output, not by rhetoric said at the beginning. Intentions are great but y’all get no points for em. All I care about are results.

    Neoliberalism, as it plays out, is corporatism. There’s a revolving door between industry and Congress. Citizens United. Legalized bribery/lobbying. No one or thing has benefitted more from the last 43 years than the corporation.

    Mussolini, the first fascist, the guy who started it all came up with the word, commissioned a giant big brother face on the outside of his building (for real yo, that shit is terrifying), summarily defined fascism as the merger of the corporation and the state. Indeed, if you open the history books, his entire government was made up of industry leaders. It might be the closest we’ve come to technocracy actually.

    I can only conclude that neoliberalism is fascism-lite and I feel I’m being generous there. Corporations are set up with authoritarian framework complete with the cult of personality worship of the CEO who’s above reproach/questioning/the law. There is not one thing democratic about it, which should terrify you, when you couple that thought with the fact that corporations are hell bent on monopoly at any cost. Any. Cost.

    Politics is nothing but coordinated violence, in that it is nothing but coercion of people against their own interests. If you’re an interested party, than youre adding to the coercion of others. If you stay out of it, then it’s not political to you is it?

    Politics:violence

    Politics:economics

    Economics:violence

    Try telling people whose rent has doubled or tripled within a decade that economics isn’t violence. You’ll experience some carnal violence in return, I’m sure.

    Politics = violence; it’s the NC-17 version, violence all grown up and sophisticated. Sanitized for TV, in it for the sound bites. In fact, I’d say at least half of it is theatre alone. It’s even been packaged up for the people to play along from home. The evolution of violence, fun for the whole family. I mean, what else would we talk about come holidays? HELPING each other?!?








  • Can the supremiest court control its fetishing of fucking americans? With friends like these, they say, and I say …people still have friends?

    I don’t think I’ve ever hoped the court would make the wrong decision more than this case. DO IT. Blow up the medical industry. It’s your chance Roberta, Alito, Thomas, you can undo the biggest overstep ever allowed in American history, that that class trailer FDR did with his New Deal, that Americans have any right to age with any semblance of dignity.

    Torpedo Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. DO IT. The whole medical industry, and insurance industry, are beyond saving and needs complete overhaul. Cutting the federal purse strings would force it to immediate attention. DO IT.


  • I feel like the GI Bill should only cover tuition at state schools. Idk why. Otherwise just gives me the ick.

    I don’t like government giving money to private institutions or companies when theres a public option, ESPECIALLY when the private parties receiving that money are the same people who bemoan about government being “the problem”, deregulation/needs to be dismantled, etc.

    Ifyou look back thru history, ALL aristocracy, Mr. TheAristocrat, is heavily comingled in government - for everything. They just want all the government money for themselves. Duplicitous motherfuckers. That’s the kind of person that’ll trip you if a bear starts chasing the two of you.





  • Not gonna lie. I know about 50 women with psych degrees. Out of these 50, exactly 2 of them use those degrees and theyre both escorts.

    Women should sue higher education writ large for the swindle that is a psych degree. Any promise that it would lead to work was a known lie. That shit is crack to women. Go figure out yourself, and other people, sprinkle in true crime and look at that. Dean’s were more predatory than pimps.


  • Yip. I took the government what, 17 years…? from suing to breaking up AT+T, and they were the largest company in America that entire time.

    At+t tried to slap em with some exorbitant long distance charges and Uncle Sam got tired of the fuck around.

    To today; Google’s been showing the wrong people the wrong kind of ads. Showing representatives ads for laundromats and daycares that offer drivinga ed after looking up how to launder money and traffic children. NO google, I did NOT mean THAT
