Impending Death Splurge - Head of State - The National Chorus

Our impending death is coming at 50/50, so before our death warrants are signed by Maga Project 2025 Stasi Death agents, I thought it was time to capture some thoughts while I still (potentially) can.

I had wanted to do these as podcast episodes, but I lost my windows machine and there was nowhere in the house in Springfield decent enough to do it plus odd psychic block..its been on my to do list but time may be running out so recording these thoughts as I can

The power of Head of State to me, especially as shown by the Crown, made me wonder how this could be used as a force for good rather than Tourism and Posh Imperialist Colonial Riffraff or Echoes thereof like the Presidency of the United States also being Head of State because Washington wanted to be treated as Posh to dignify the Presidency.   This as compared to Head of Government.  (And since while I do think Anarchists have some points; they decided that they would allow a Committee of Six to Hierarchy their ass, I'm not taking Anarchists seriously.)

The Head of State meets with other heads of State and has posh dinners and parades and pagentry.  But the thing is folks; there is a reason Fascists are obsessed symbolism is because the State is an Illusion.   But it is an illusion that has great power when accepted by the nation write large.  But civilization and society can do so much better than a symbolic monarch or a symbolic president with no real power or even great power and mixed duties with head of government and head of state.

In Ancient Greece, during plays, the Chorus represented the perspective of the common man.  Why must we distill our symbology in one person? Especially in America, we celebrate and embrace democracy.  I firmly believe that in a Secular society, Religion has no place in government.  I also dont approve of other societies that lay aside token members of the Legislature to indigenous peoples, minority religions or even women as a way of 'balancing the scales.'  But in the National Story this is different.  People's religions are sacred to them and they want to ensure that they have a part on the national stage.

The National Chorus would be appointed (ideally by a combination of executive and legislative branches) with some seats going to certain groups such as the First Nations, Oppressed Peoples or Oppressed Minorities.  It could also be an honorific in a Republic similar to the House of Lords and British Knighthood, with a lifetime appointment for great artists, scientists and the like.  It would be a place to tell the national story.

I do have some alternate ideas of what this body could be; I think they, not the head of Government should appoint ambassadors.  I think they, not the Government should approve national charters for non governmental organizations such as the United States Postal Service, National Trusts (which should do a public good and Replace corporations), PBS, The NEA, etc etc etc.  Right now these things rest with the President and I think that Government has a separate function from the machinery and symbology of state.

Finally, the reason I approve of this path is because some of the religious need to stick their moral dick in your face, and if it has to be somewhere, let it be in a body that isn't making laws or decisions about criminality.   

Revolution: Good vs Bad

 When is revolution merited?

In Georgia right now, Fascists have passed the Russia law making it easy to destroy NGO's that allow a democracy to function.  There is substantial overlap but not total overlap between fascists and conservatives, but it is sufficient that I now believe any properly designed government must do everything it can; short of curtailing essential liberties to lock conservatives and conservatives out of power.

Has there ever been a good CONSERVATIVE revolution? None I can think of.  Pick any historical context, and 9 times out of 10 the conservative faction (military, business, nationalist hardliners, or theocrats) leads to blood shed or the reduction of individual liberties.  Moreover, since everything conservatives say is a lie or projection; the net result of conservative actions is the gross reduction of individual liberties across the board.

But wrong thinking centrists will attempt to be ideologically neutral, so it is worthy to explore tests to indicate when a nation is headed for doom and anti democratic norms beyond how conservative the initiators are (ie just because it is patently evident to me, wrong thinking centrists or nauseatingly gross both siders will and are entitled to disagree).  This test is important for dictating decent foreign policy and foreign aid beyond the disgusting realpolitik of late stage capitalism and klepto capitalism (but I repeat myself.)

Fortunately, this was already done in the Declaration of Independence, which to paraphrase summarized this: A government must have both evil action AND evil intent.  Why is this?

Evil Intent but Good Action: Very often, conservative governments enact good in spite of themselves.  Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive from a regressive party and since loyalty and tribal thinking is the only conservative/regressive value they passed many of his reforms to Follow The Leader.  Ditto for Ike.  There were many good and beneficial actions that have helped society as a result of this.

Good Intent but Evil Action: Many bumbling but well intentioned administrations; such as Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden do things that are positively stupid but for the right reasons.  The reason for continuity is obvious, especially in a democracy in that if the intent is good but they are still too stubborn to acknowledge reality they will eventually get hit by a clue by four and correct themselves or at least be voted out.

The true objective advantage of democracy is that it allows stability which breeds wealth (unlike Capitalism or the Oligarch class which actually add nothing of inherent value despite the protestations or lies of conservatives (but again I repeat myself.)

There is a third test I would add however, and that is an attempt to slide a nation from more democracy to less democracy.   Republicans love to harp on about how we live in a Republic, not a democracy, because they are undemocratic.  In truth we live in a Democratic Republic, but since we now see Republicans unwilling to acknowledge the legitimacy of Democratic candidates, we can know beyond doubt that Republicans can and will steal any power or ability for peaceful democratic transition that they are allowed to get away with.  This allows any right thinking individual to treat these organizations as actual enemies of the state, since the state is a Democratic Republic that derives its legitimacy from the governed.  Any attempt by any organized group of individuals to reduce the sovereignty of the citizen majority writ large (note, the majority and not the entitled or enriched minority, nor the theocratic or ideological minority) is an attack on all.

This makes the revolution of the NUG in Myanmar, the Arab Spring or a pending revolution in Georgia totally justified.  Conversely, it self evidently points to the illegitimacy of Israeli colonialism given their refusal to provide democratic sovereignty to their colonial subjects (the Palestinians).  Any anti democratic organization is, by their own admission, an enemy of democracy and to be abolished by any intelligently governed state thereof.

I will also add a hypothetical fourth test which is, in the event of willful incompetence (such as the Democratic Party of the United States) to deal with repeated and recurring enemies of democracy (ie the Republican Party) sets a ticking observational clock that any intelligent person can use to see how long good intent but evil action remains in place.  Should action not be taken, it eventually merits direct and revolutionary action to maintain and keep democratic norms.

The Insecurity Council

 The United Nations is a joke.

Because the Security Council is a joke.

Because the five permanent shit members are responsible for most of the items before the committee.

It needs to be reformed.

The Shit Five will veto normal reform attempts.

Just like the national popular vote compound to end the shit anti democratic electoeal college, the UN needs a pledge by half non Shit Five members in the general assembly that when more than half have signed the pledge then the general assembly gets a counter beto for the Shit Five and if the Shit Five dont undo their Veto

like the American Empire shielding the genocide in the Dirty Theocracy then they leave the UN

Half the UN members leaving means no more UN

Stop the dirty genocide by stripping the American empire of its Shit Veto.

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
