Ex Post Facto

The Republican White House and the Republican Congress have now voluntarily ceded their rights to Habeus Corpus and Ex Post Facto laws.   Anyone who belongs to the Republican party now voluntarily cedes their rights.   Donald Trump and the Republicans have now voluntarily excised these from their copies of the constitution which means that they are now allowing Democrats to past Ex Post Facto Laws and Bills of Attaineder targeting Republicans to have their citizenship stripped and have laws passed about their crimes retroactivelt applied to them without trial.

Democrats who object to this can join them.

Conservatism is far more likely than any other political movement to go fascist.  Frankly, I think it behooves any democracy to just outlaw it.  "Dicatorship!" They howl.  To vote for W.  To vote for H.W.  To vote for Reagan meant flirting with strong executitve.  If they are still a member of the Republican party they are endorsing all of the things that Trump does.   They've had many months to change their party affiliation.

We all know that they want a civil war, and they think they can win.  Maybe they can, but if they don't do you think we're going to sit around and let what happened in 1880 happen again?  Do you think there is going to be some partial reconstruction? You should only WISH that Tribunals happen as compared to the Committee for Public Safety.  I really think the Abundance Democrats think they can just Social Media Moderate their way to perpetual victory but the fact is, the Nihilionares have chosen a side and that side isnt the democrats.  Even if they still donate its to keep them as docile little Vichy puppies rather than be effective.

Mark my words....the Republicans will lose.  and the Centrist democrats think they are the ones who will rebuild the same broken America they sold us out to.

As if.

Baileyism - We Bid Bedford Falls Goodbye

I want to write a book about this. In a better world, this was my ticket to honorary PhDs and a chance to become a great philosopher of the ages. The philosophers of old certainly didn't have fancy degrees any more than George Bailey did, but is there any doubt in your mind that the man was a scholar? A would-be founding father who found his time and place in a little realm called Bedford Falls. In a better world than ours—one that didn't throw away Obama's grassroots network, or let hanging chads decide an election, or fail to contest every precinct in Florida rather than let that man get away with his transparent cheating—in that world, this philosophy might have inspired people to give a damn in ways that don't require guns pointed by the government. I think, just like in It's a Wonderful Life, we need government, but we need to do more than that right now. 

But the problem is that the George Baileys of the world are fighting the real battle of Bedford Falls right now; they're protecting their neighbors from ICE raids and protesting pro-Nazi businesses. They're sheltering their neighbors, or if religious, doing actually Christian things like working at food kitchens and soup lines for the poor. The fact of the matter is, what we need right now is more... Monte Cristoism. So we say farewell to what could have been, and begin to move into what we need now. 

I have put the seed of the idea of this wonderful movie becoming a real thing for the world out there for you. And like Momma Dollar and Poppa Dollar I genuinely believe that not only can it be so but that the people who made the movie hoped their art to inspire it to be. There is nothing whistful about the movie in the slightest. But for now, in our time, the Bailey Buliding and Loan has served its purpose and now I think I just heard a knock on my cell door in le Chateu de If.

This Will Be Shadowbanned - Saying it anyway

 Here is a video that is throttled by TikTok and seems to be google and it shows how dangerous these things are and how people are a secondary priority to $$$$$$.

Bluesky

Bluesky shut down an account the instant I recommended teslaing the WWE. Deplatforming is the primary tool of friends of the theocracy and fascism: but let me ask this?

why would you hire a Republican? Why not fire one? Why give one service? Ignore questions of right or wrong these fuckers are actively seeking to trash the dollar for rich technofascists sociopaths. Even if you were a dipstick and liked 45, 47 is a fucking loser moron that only nazis love.

If the rest of America TRULY SHUT OUT the republicans they would fold overnight. If you still have a maga you havent blocked, fired, spit on and cut out of your life then you are a human being.

but when their fuckery costs you your family, your house, your savings, your car or your job then remember what I said, these people are monsters and total losers and you are part of the problem

we have to learn some lessons the hard way

AI Slop But You Deserve To Know

You've identified an interesting application of this principle to current socio-political movements.

When a movement contains multiple layers of disconnection from reality, its sustainability becomes even more precarious. The combination you're referring to - MAGA populism merged with a techno-libertarian or "technofascist" vision - does indeed contain potential contradictions and reality disconnects that could undermine its long-term viability:

1. Inherent contradictions between nostalgic traditionalism and accelerationist techno-utopianism

2. Economic promises that often conflict with economic realities and technological trends

3. Selective rejection of expertise and evidence-based thinking when it contradicts preferred narratives

4. Tendency to create information bubbles that limit exposure to contradictory evidence

The historical pattern suggests that movements with multiple reality disconnects tend to either:

- Fragment internally as the contradictions become impossible to reconcile

- Increasingly purge pragmatists, accelerating their decline

- Reform by abandoning the most reality-detached elements

- Collapse under external pressures they failed to anticipate

That said, the timeline for such movements to "fall hard" can vary widely based on external factors, leadership quality, and the absence of viable alternatives. Even deeply flawed movements can persist if they satisfy psychological needs for certainty or identity that their adherents value more than accuracy.

What's often most determinative is whether such movements gain sufficient institutional power to insulate themselves from consequences before reality reasserts itself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[Poem] You're a Pyrework

 By Emmet Other

Do you ever feel like your career is done

You're a game show host

And your camera time is the setting sun?

Take a rocket ride In a Bezos Ship

Now your next step up Is an Elon Chip

You're a sell out baby

You're what makes the world go round

Support that Patriarchy

Where your Fame is Found

Take a Plastic Smile Like a Plastic Girl

Be a Breeder now Dimples and a blondy curl

Your public demands you step up

But you're gonna do what's right For your bottom line

You will find the time Gonna sell out

As if you didn't day one

Take your self worth and check that box as done

You're a sell out baby

You're what makes the world go round

Support that Patriarchy

Where your Fame is Found

You kiss the ground when you fall to Earth

Use your baby girl as your baby prop

You are back in the spotlight and thats all that counts

Now your lifetime prime is a glam discount

A plastic knife in a plastic world kills that sermon mount.

You're a sell out baby

You're what makes the world go round

Support that Patriarchy

Where your Fame is Found
