this is indecent.

There's a lot of ambient male rage out there. It's no less vicious when labeled "left" rather than "right" or targeted to the under-40 cohort instead the over-50 market served by Fox and Limbaugh. Maybe it's even more vicious, because of the extra energy of (relative) youth

If your politics are not founded upon and limited by an ethic of care and respect, you are working for a worse world, not a better one - no matter what you tell yourself about the grand ends that justify your cruel means.

I'm sure I disagree with Sen Warren's policies probably 10x more than the Chapo guys do. As she hangs up her cleats after a tough contest at the highest level of competition, how hard is it to salute her as a keen intelligence, a generous spirit, and a public-spirited American?

WHITE HOUSE CONTROL
To bring about this state of affairs compliant politicians are needed, and of them the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion say:

"The administrators whom we shall choose from among the public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience

, will not be persons trained in the arts of
government, and will therefore easily become pawns in our game in the hands of
men of learning and genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred
and reared from early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world".

Today, I marked a final break with someone I once counted as a close friend.

Since I am a glutton for punishment, I've decided to ride the White Lightning and do my belated review of Azur Lane, Episode 3.

Mine intellectual followers, I beg thee - mute this thread. Mute. MUTE!

It has occurred to me that this milquetoast pile of trash slop shit will continue to be so dull, stupid and uninspired that I may be required to provide the entertainment directly, rather than relying on my dry wit and scathing commentary on otherwise substantial plot issues.

I assure you, my fellows. I am equal to this task.

If I am anything, I am a shitposter born.

ONCE MORE, UNTO THE BREACH

1. My dear Jil, let me tell you a little bit about life. It’s important you understand life. I’ll tell you a little story. #Letr2Jil

2. There were four friends, all female, all beautiful. Each was building her business, and each turned out successful. They were all married by the way. Let’s call them Mrs. A, B,C & D. #Letr2Jil

Joseph Stalin

@StalinIsBack

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism

2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.

3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE

2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.

3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh
