Honestly I believe that anyone who is Republican should be shunned from society wherever they go, and I hope to create a world in which this happens.
Hope this isn’t seen as biased.
It’s never been controversial to say that people should be shunned for their political beliefs. When I was growing up if somebody you know belonged to the KKK, it wouldn’t be shocking to say you had shunned them. I don’t see why the Republican party today should be any different.
There’s nothing wrong with my statements. There need to be moral standards. It’s up to decent people to enforce them.
LITTLE WOMEN (2019) is, in my opinion, good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The screenplay is a marvel. It jumps across time but never loses you for a moment. Gerwig channeling the best of Merchant Ivory and of Malick. I’m not missing a single movie she makes.
I love people who treat a clear determination to solve an obvious problem as childish "magical thinking," but believe their persistence belief that the solution is still to be found in same incrementalist reform strategy that has led us exactly here is not "magical thinking."
I know which group sounds like children clapping because they believe in fairies, and it's not the ones who want to do the hard work of totally rethinking how we do society, rather than continue trying to treat entrenched violent white supremacy as a training issue.
I'm aware it's difficult. That's EXACTLY what makes it the grown-up decision.
I don't have the exact plan how, so the point is invalid? Oh yeah, b/c 1st we figured out every single detail of how to go to the moon, THEN we decided to go, right? That's the order of things, right?
They insist on waging war in their jurisdictions against the citizens they are meant to protect, so now they have war zones in their jurisdictions.
No police, no war zone.
No war zone, no war.
The police burned down the Apple store.
Society is composed of people. It is a shared human value.
We permit corporations and police to the extent — and only to the extent — they benefit people in society. We mustn't permit them to think they exist to benefit themselves.
If they forget, they should be destroyed.
Any institution that exists to benefit itself at the expense of humans in society is a failure.
Failed institutions will always breed failure.
We can't have peace if we empower institutions to wage war against our own brothers and sisters.
Speaking as a novelist, if a novelists were murdering someone every week, my response would not be to protect the inviolable right of novelists to murder people, or to gather with all the other novelists to beat up anyone who dared suggest otherwise. Why give cops that latitude?
What you don’t understand is that in the moment novelists don’t know what a person might be holding. Is it a copy of your book to sign? Is it a weapon? We must assume deadly intent, anyway that’s why I attacked Barnes & Noble patrons with a flamethrower—now suspend me with pay.
I’m trying to decide what novelists to recruit for my novelist militia.
If interested hit me up in DMs. Be prepared to provide blurbs.
It's time to completely and permanently politically destroy the ideology that equates the right to enact a gun massacre with freedom, that equates police riots with freedom, that equates racist police murder with freedom, that equates their assortments of bigotries with freedom.
It's not that our world is broken. It's that there are people committed to breaking our world, and we know who they are.
They're the people who defend every problems, and oppose event the slightest step toward any solutions.
They're the people that insist the problems aren't real, and were the fault of the victims.
They're the people who threaten violence at the hint of a solution, claiming that the end of the problems infringe their whites—sorry, their rights.
The goals of purposeful ignorance are toxic. The intentions are to harm others, in order to achieve a perceived personal benefit.
It's worth listing these goals. There are three main ones.
THE FIRST GOAL OF PURPOSEFUL IGNORANCE
To reinforce a reality, in which people with ignorant, toxic, and harmful ideas and intentions must perpetually be debated, which subtly insinuates that in matters of public policy they are the people whose permission must be sought
