Words Matter

A Libertarian A Communist and A Socialist 
try to go into a bar
But none of them can agree 
On the definition of the word
Bar
Door
Or Try
To all three 
Purity is the only acceptible solution
Theirs is the only true way
Words exist to Indoctrinate
Rather than communicate
All at their core offer good things
Individuals always matter
And a leaner government is a less intrusive one
Why shouldnt workers 
Own the means of production
And what is so specifically great
About Profit?
Why should there be a socially economic elite?
All dislike the state 
Except when they dont
They all have purity definitions
That no country in the world practices
And 99% of all human societies in history reject
But they know better
When Superman God the Messiah
Undead Vampire Singularity AI Marx comes down
And makes the world see theirs is the one true way
Except Marx Bernie and Heinlein went into a bar
And got drunk mocking three idiots 
Bumping into a chalk door outline
Drawn
On a  fucking brick wall

Letter to Biden

Mr President,

I want to insult you, but the subject matter is too serious not to use your appropriate honorific.  I sit here reading my google news feed and see a Snopes Snip,"Did Trump Share Post with Article Saying Trump Dictatorship is 'Increasongly Inevitable' and it is marked True.

Mr Biden  we have had our disagreements and I have called you many things  but I speak plainly now.  If you fail to address Trump as a terrorist, you should resign.  This is not hyperbole.  He is using fear as a political tactic, which is terrorism, he dogwhistles fascism and dictatorship.  No one who favors him has any doubt about his intentions.  You swore an oath to defend the Republic and uphold the constitution.  Even assuming you dont take him seriously, how dare you roll the dice with the American public? How is this man walking around free?

Mr. President, you talk alot about Hamas and how bad it is, and how they are terrorists and how Israel is justified in its actions..A thought exercize for you Mr President...if every Republican changed their party affiliation to Hamas...what would you do?

Hamas calls for the total destruction, by violence  of the nation of Israel.  The Republicans routinely use language that describes liberals as sub human.  Is there ANY doubt in your mind, ANY that Trump will put you  your entire family  the senate  the house and media personalities they dont like in concentration camps on day 1? Person for person  lgbt people alone in this country outnumber the population of Israel   Yet you are willing to be bipartisan with a party that wants these people dead.  It wants to strip the rights and humanity of women  people of Color and anyonr they dont deem fit or pure 

Mr President  you are being nice and bipartisan with a party more wicked  more unchristian  more homicidal than Hamas.  Do you REALLY truly believe they wont? Mr President  have you personally spoken to the workers in the bus harried by trump terrorists in texas? Have you spoken to the police officers threatened by maga terrorists on 1/6? Have you spoken with the families of those terrorized by gun maniacs in schools?

There is no doubt, they are coming for us. Do you think history will judge you kindly? Do you think your inaction knowing what is coming will be viewed fondly? Mr. President, you will be the joke of everyone who spoke of the fall of America for ten thousand years   You will be a comedic drunkard that Bad King Trump fooled, a disney charichature worse than Prince John in the disney movie.

Here are things you  and you aline can do right now
1) Ask the DOJ to harshly prosecute any violations of court orders for Trump or any Republican
2) Immediately launch investigations into every single Republican and billionare backing them for treason.
3) Fire Garland if he resists in the slightest.
4) Immediately make public all material you have that isnt direct evidence in a trial against Trump to show even more what a threat he is
5) Prosecute all known violations of the law any republican has committed
6) Begin realistic preparations for an American government in exile and prepare for infrastructure and services of Americans in case they need to retreat
7) Change IRS policy on taxes of Americans abroad so that only millionares pay us taxes abroad  this will be weaponized against Americans who flee and is already disgusting
8) By presidential decree mandate copies of the library of congeess made and hidden throughout rhe country and the world to preseve against the books he will burn
9) Fire any dhs employees loyal to Trump  just fucking so it Mr. resident
10) Pronise to have the US Military on site at every red state and blue city pling station to protect our voters

You wont do any if this  but never say you werent warned

Conservatism

It inherently benefits the elite

It inherently favors the bully

It inherently creates the busybody to oppose it

It inherently creates an ammoral center to buffer it

It inherently breaks its back holding the Arc of The Universe Towards Justice

It inherently empowers the darkest nature of man 

It inherently deceives to clog the wheels of progress with human souls

It inherently breaks the hearts of those with hearts

It is no good to anyone

But

Conservatives

And

Parasites

Sockpuppets and Fascism

 I dont know what it is about edgelord technofascists and the need to create sock puppets but I run into it sometimes.  I first encountered it with gamergaters on twitter  now well documented, then later sadpuppy fascists trying to rig the World Con awards.   Maybe when you are an edgelord incel you like to invent people but then again llms and the push for imaginary money and imaginary friends makes sense that basement dwelling Chads would do.

I have also seen similar tactics from Nigerian and Russian scammers on many mediums, the more big tech the medium the bigger and more heads the hydra had.   Botsentinel on twitter had an infinite supply of sockpuppets to defend it.

So when I see a (according to many) "reliable and good guy" make a block list full of anti lgbt blocks on Mastodon, I am not AT ALL surpised when the edgelord sockpuppets spring out of the woodwork talking the same until I point it out and then only mostly the same. Dude has a Patraon for his hate speech so it only makes sense that he will create as many new mastodon accounts as required to defend his mealticket

Limited vs Unlimited Worldviews

 Visiting my parents, a conversation came up that moved the post I was thinking of doing on why I consider those who call taxation theft, theives themselves forward in my mental queue.   The world is going through a major conflict right now; arguably conflicts, the most prominent is globalists vs populists or fascists vs anti fascists, or even conservative vs liberal.  And none of them are quite right.  I am not going to spend time explaining what those six words really mean, but provide a link that at least gets the process started.  The inciting conversation really came about why China was facing problems now due to its very limited thinking during the population limit that were popular in the world mindset during the 1970's and are slowly kiling them now.    That lead to a discussion over people who are willing to easily accept authoritarian solutions to problems, even people who are in favor of small government.

I think the best way to distill this to the real world is, why is the worlds richest liberatian; Charles Koch, willing to fund the worlds most dangerous fascist; Ron Desantis.   After all, a small government advocate should be the most virulent anti fascist of all, since on their lovely little world view chart they put themselves at opposite of statism.  And yet, this is just babbling.  Time and time again, libertarians are just as willing to use authoritarian means to achieve their ends as anyone else; more so I would argue.  My step father summed it up rather well as Zero Sum vs Growth.   And it was perfect, except for memetic purposes.

The best summary of the issue I can think of is why so many gold standard advocates, who are now reincarnated into bitcoin advocates; which I summarize in my critique of twitter.  To take a very complicated concept and distill it down as much as possible; people who like the gold standard like it because there is only so much gold.  People who like bitcoin mainly like it because there is only so many bitcoins.  They hate inflation, they hate inflationary currencies, and they want the world to exist the same way forever.  Never mind, that entropy is the greatest force in the universe and change even more constant than death itself; this is the mindview of people who dont understand abstract concepts very well.   

Tiktok

 I dislike Tiktok because I dislike the Ccp.  I have an author channel I tried to build there and rarely use because of tiktok abuse with reporters.  But Mark Zuckerberg is disgusting and his efforts to ban tiktok are disgusting.   The complicity of the democratic party shows why they dont work for us, why biden hasnt dont anything about the Maga in the government and why simply "voting blue no matter who" is treading water not solving the problem


The democrats are no your friend.


This creator is not the only one saying so.  I am working on a podcast series about a new constitution and the willingness of the dems to jump into bed with Mark Zuckerberg and his manufactured tiktok panic is as fake as the now recently exposed conservative bullshit on transpanic.  


Dont take my word or the word of Tiktok for it, there are plenty of sources indicating Meta is behind the attempt yo ban tiktok.  I criticize the CCP all the time.  But just because I realize tiktok causes problems and shpuld be regulated, doesnt mean I dont also acknowledge that it should not be BANNED and that Biden is complicit with Meta.

Beating a Dead Horseshoe Theory

 First, a tiny bit of metaphorical background.

The game "Among Us" (for those living under a rock the last few years) is a popular computer game, made particularly popular just before and during the COVID disaster where you play a bunch of astronauts trying to complete tasks to repair the ship before alien infiltrators who look like them kill them and throw each other out an airlock trying to mob justice the alien to keep from all dying a horrible death.


I say this, because we now live in an age in which fascists are willing to go to any lengths to kill, imprison, cancel, enslave and humiliate anyone who isn't them.  This isn't a new problem, but the fascists have a number of new tools and allies.  The traditional allies of the fascists are the authoritarian sympathizers and those who fetishize law and order.  The other traditional allies are those who blame "The other"; those who hate people not like themselves.  Of late, Fascists have begun to do this to any other they could find; LGBT, BIPOC, Liberals, Antifa, Cartoon Characters, MNM's, you name it.  And the new tools are just as frightening.  With AI enhanced research tools, as well as demographic data gleefully handed over to them by the filth gnomes of silicon valley; they in some ways know more about us than we know ourselves.  Palantir, Blackrock, the Wagner Group and an entire dark ecosphere created by the filth Koch brothers have allowed them to know just where to squeeze society in its most vulnerable sectors with messages tailor made (sometimes at the individual level) to exploit fear and ignorance.  And they also have billionaires on their side.  Indeed, most (if not all) Billionaires see the handwriting on the wall and realize that the internet and modern sensibility, as well as demographic trends away from a clear white majority mean that more and more people are understanding that the very idea of a billionaire even existing is problematic to society.  As such more and more of them are turning towards the Big Lie and helping undermine our democracy.  And some crypto fascists are pretending to be Very Concerned Citizens who are not Maga but are Maga enablers.  So, just like in Among Us, you have to ask the question...who do you trust?


In modern times, the number of people sympathetic to Trump varies between 25% and 40% depending on the benchmark you use.  You would think that as dark and dire as that is, that 60% to 40% is more than enough to out vote them in any election; but between exploited flaws in the highly problematic (and rotting) 1789 constitution along with capricious short attention spans, lack of intelligence or simple desperation due to economic slavery at stagnant pathetic wages; the number of people who want to kill and enslave everyone else vs the number of people actively trying to keep that from happening is about actually (to my observation) at parity.


Group A is Maga and Filth Billionaires and group B is ....practically everyone else.  That's Neoliberals, Neocons, Libertarians, Progressives, Leftists, Liberals, Corporate Democrats, Blue Dog Democrats, Non Fascist Evangelicals and even Socialists and Communists.  ANYONE who doesn't want to be a maga slave finds themselves having to hold their nose and vote for someone or indirectly work with someone they want.  Aside from the fact that this proves our system in the United States is fucking terrible, it also brings to mind a popular Benjamin Franklin quote.



"We must, indeed, all hang together or most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." Because they were all white, male and (presumably) straight, we assume that they were of a similar mind, but the Continental Congress represented a similar gaggle of anti tyrannical forces we find ourselves arrayed against now.  


But in an age where the MSM is co-opted to be either pro fascist or treat fascism and not fascism as equally the same sides that must be compared one with another, we run into an issue.  This brings me to the extremely outdated idea of the horseshoe theory.  This old trop explains that authoritarian principals exist on both the left and the right and that only the trusted sane center can hold the disparate elements of the right and left together against the rampaging hordes of frothtards.  And MAYBE in the 20th century that might have been correct, but now? No, I really don't think so.  First off, the very lie of the theory holds that there is an equal balance of idiocy on both sides of the spectrum.  Regardless of whether or not that's true in the past, it certainly isn't now.  Those babbling about how Ukraine is run by Nazis and how Putin is a swell guy are vastly outnumbered by tin foil dunce caps on the right than the left.  For every goofus Glen Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard or Julian Assange, there are a dozen to a hundred Tucker Carlsons, Roger Stones and Steve Bannons.  


The Center is not the glue that holds us together.  The people actually in the streets, the people taking this fight to the people who shoot, kill and harm actual civilians are the actual ANTIFA folks who counter protest against the filth Proud Boys and filth Oathkeepers.  And while this group is as varied as the continental congress, far more come from the left than the right.   The center is not what holds us together, its the progressive left that does.  


The horseshoe theory is quite dead.


But in an age where imagery matters, and highly complex ideas need to be conveyed to short attention span low information voters; words matter, symbols matter.  How do you convey the need to stay away from fascism and that simply being in its orbit is unacceptable without alienating allies you need to survive?  Specifically speaking, both siderism is totally unacceptable.  Treating both sides as the same legitimizes fascism and anyone doing it is (wittingly or not) an ally of fascism.  To some, centrism means putting themselves between both sides, and this kind of centrism is capitulation to fascism.  To some, centrism is simply denial of the inevitable failure of capitalism and to place themselves between communism and Fascist capitalism; somewhere in the territory of Social Safety Net Capitalism (which by European standards is actually Center Right, but by American Corporate Standards is The Center).


I, personally, like to bash Centrism because anything having to do with Fascism, anything remotely in its orbit, is bad.  But I also rationally recognize I need people who define themselves as The Center but aren't Both Siderists by any stretch of the imagination to stand with me against Fascism.  We all hang together or we all hang separately.  So as many memes and sayings roll off the tongue intuitively against Centrism (aka Both Siderism), I cant use the term Centrism BECAUSE of Centrists who define themselves with The Center (Bothsiderism Centrists vs The Center Centrists.)  I recognize my need to use clearer terms (Both Siderism) and hope my Centrist (The Center) allies understand that they need to give up the idea that The Horseshoe theory applies anymore.  Our leaders are progressives....not Centrists (of either variety)
