Only facing reality now?

Better late than never I guess.

The purpose of a hospital is to cure just enough patients.

And the purpose of Ukraine is to be caught in a stalemate. The West gives them just enough support to never lose, but never enough support to win.

And the purpose of the British government is to pretend like it is responsive to protests.

And the purpose of buses is to burn gasoline and support the oil industry, when trains or trams would be much more efficient.

And the purpose of arguing on the internet is to waste everyone’s time while accomplishing nothing

Etc etc

Why? The purpose of the system is to not work, so there are no democratic checks.

The world won’t end, but we are absolutely on track for billions to die. If not from cataclysmic climate change, then from the inevitable start of WW3 triggered by climate change.

Things are, in fact, really fucking bad. We don’t need even more bullshit making it even worse.

The actual real world function of courts has always been as another arm of the government’s authority. In the real world the interpretation of legislation is also part of the creation and execution of legislation. It’s a continuum, that’s always been how it works.

Courts are part of the government, not some divine body that exists outside politics.

Liberals act like the separation of powers isn’t just something they made up. Separation of powers isn’t real and it never has been and it can’t be.

The situation is already apocalyptic. Making it even worse just means we all die even faster.

America produced 4,000TWH of electricity a year. This report says “22% of household consumption in 2028”, which if I commit the faux pass of mixing data it gets me 7% of US power consumption.

7% is a fucking lot though?? That’s an immense amount of power going towards slop instead of making our lives better or growing the economy or actually being productive.

It’s like we just decided to start burning our limited reserves of natural gas for fun.

But if they act, they aren’t courts.

I still have no idea what that means.

I don’t care that they “wouldn’t be the courts” - whatever that means. If they wouldn’t be the courts, what would they be?

I do care that they act before we fucking die.

Kind of different.

Who fucking cares?

The courts won’t do something unconstitutional.

Why?

Are they stupid?

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make… something else happen, I forgot what it was!

Sure, and free speech matters on campus unless you’re anti-Zionist. Freedom of religion matters unless you aren’t Christian. Parental rights matter unless you support your child’s transition. Fiscal responsibility unless it’s the Pentagon or subsidies or tax cuts.

Etc etc

Well, the US government had such a pretense. He never had one, but the government used to pretend.

That’s the trick! Poor people that have had their healthcare and food taken away can enlist in the army for a wage and free healthcare. The very people the government is killing with its social murder agenda are the ones that will fight the wars.

Unless they’re disabled or old or trans or something, then they can just die. Win/Win as far as the fascist party is concerned.

Talking about what? Owning a gun is a right! I certainly would never use it for anything other than paper target shooting on a gun range.

That’s all paper ballots are good for - target practice.

But it’s not bad opsec to tell people to buy guns. That’s just sensible. The people without guns are the ones that are targeted first .

I refuse to choose genocide for self preservation.

In fact, I kind of want to die just for my role as a passive participant in the genocide. I think about Aaron Bushnell a lot.

I live in a red state, my vote doesn’t even fucking count in this shit hole country.

Don’t be so modest, you’re excited for me to get murdered for being disobedient. That’s why you won’t lift a finger to resist fascism. Voting is the limit of your participation in politics and you aren’t going to be allowed to vote fascist away.

I won’t be surprised when volunteer to be one of the camp guards because you think you can change the system from the inside.

Did I say I was fine with this? I just believe we can do things other than wait for the next election to stop it from happening. Get organized, get a gun, and get ready.

Are you going to act? Or are you going to sit on your ass and wait for another election that is never going to come?

Because if you’re waiting for the next election to stop fascism you are going to lose.

The colonial situation dehumanizes the colonized and the colonizer. While the colonized are treated worse than animals, the colonizers treat themselves like gods (and, in the process, turn into monsters).
