New Rule - "I can read whatever the f*ck I want" - Bill Maher

[solar-sunnyside-up]

They told us the apocalypse would be a full panic at once, news organizations calling the end of society, cars abandoned in the streets, fire and looting and then endless stillness. All so we would not recognize it as it happens all around us every day. It is a much slower decay then they can let on, otherwise we'd recognize it. They told us revolution would look like burning flags and violence in the streets, that it would require us to our number them, that it would need to be maticiouslous planned or else it would fail. They did this so we wouldn't recognize it as it happens in the streets everyday. It's in illegal urban hens, and in neighbors coming together to fix their streets despite the cities lack of care of them, it's in garden swaps and farmers markets. It's in self made safe spaces for youth and down traughten, its in small acts of kindness bleeding its way though time. Revolution is in these mundane moments that pass by everyday, and they do not want you to recognize it as such. Because then we might go forward with demanding better instead of being paralized in the moment, that change is at our doorstep either way and because then revolution might be easier then we thought it was.

I vaguely remembered that I’d woken up last night at 2am and scrambled desperately for my phone to Wikipedia-search something I just HAD to know, then immediately fell back to sleep.

But for the life of me, I could not remember what I had searched. Curious, I opened my phone’s browser to see this:

You know that feeling: it’s 2am and you really really need to immediately read the biography of Maximilien Robespierre. We’ve all been there.

A peaceful but effective protest that I’d love to see is people — disabled and non-disabled — refusing to go to places that are inaccessible.

Soon those places would start to lose customers/clients and maybe start being accessible.

No one would participate to this protest but I’d like to see it happen. I guess I’ll just use my imagination.

"…just like in any successful “revolution”—and that is what we've achieved, a revolution in restoring governmental leadership that thinks the US Constitution doesn’t suck—We the People have to see it through, which means keeping the pressure on…"

I think there’s a very interesting idea in the fact that in DBH when the androids “wake up” and become deviant they’re basically like babies. Babies in the fact that they probably don’t know how to deal with their (probably) overwhelming emotions.

The interesting part is what about the androids that had just woken up in a war? An android born in war will only know war(forgive my dramatics), so I’d love for another POV of an android that had been woken up in the midst of the android revolution.

After the revolution be it the pacifist route or the more aggressive one, how would they know how to live?

An SDS radical once wrote, "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution." In other words, the cause - whether inner city blacks or women - is never the real cause, but only an occasion to advance the real cause which is the accumulation of power to make the revolution. -- David Horowitz

The Cultural Revolution was driven by the Red Guards, a mass movement encouraged and directed by Mao Zedong. They became Mao’s power base as he reinstalled himself as leader of both party and nation while purging the party of his critics and competitors. Comprised mostly of fanatical students, the Red Guards (Hongweibing) began to take shape in June 1966, following the national publication of a student protest in Beijing University. Within weeks they had mobilised into a political militia, their numbers exceeding 10 million. Motivated by Mao’s slogans “It is right to rebel” and “Bombard the headquarters”, the Red Guards attacked anyone and anything they considered a threat to Mao or his socialist vision. Nobody was safe: not bureaucrats or administrators, not party chiefs, not provincial politicians, not even president Liu Shaoqi. For a year these militant students created what Mao himself called a “great chaos under heaven”. When the Red Guards became even more radical and violent in 1967, it was Mao himself who authorised military action to suppress them.

Sound familiar?

Believe them when they tell you what they're up to.

Woke is a religion, not an empirically based revolution. It requires blind faith and ideological zealotry that ignores data, smears apostates as blasphemers, and is fueled by a climate of fear as it uses public shaming, cancel culture, doxing, shadow banning, ostracism, and career destruction to bulldoze ahead.

That it is now mowing down its originators may not matter much, even if for the short term the current boomeranging should be teaching leftists that their ideology is unworkable and ultimately destructive of civilization. History, after all, is replete with misguided zealots who even to the very first shot of their own firing squads still believed in the catastrophic cultural and political upheavals they had unleashed on others.

Partly woke continues, then, because its privileged creators still cling to the belief, “What I create for others, certainly will not apply to me and mine.” And when it does, as it is beginning to now, they stay long in denial and continue their woke advocacy because they still hope their progressive piety and fides will someday earn them heaven on earth.

I've had more than one anarchist I associate with be surprised to learn I'm actually not an anarchist. But like. I'm a huge proponent of the Welfare State, and you kind of need a state for that

I sat in an unmarked grove, lifeless fruits and dismembered blossoms mocked me, and I kissed ‘revolution.’ She was the dirt, the air, and the fire in my soles. “I want you to dig and dig until you find an explosion in yourself as if the sun’s time has come,” she whispered with curled lips against the floor of my neck that turned to fists. “Then, as your sweat marches toward a creek, hoping tears can offer a victory lap - dig even further….Only then will you have my love.”

So Donald Trump is trying to get Netanyahu to not go forward with a ceasefire because he doesn’t want Kamala getting good press from it, and these kids are protesting outside the dnc. This man is actively trying to get more Palestinians killed but sure rally against the candidate trying to at least stop the ongoing violence and killings over there. She’s so evil and genocidal.

"…it should come as no surprise that Biden felt unencumbered by the Constitution in his actions, specifically with his precedent-setting issuance of pre-emptive presidential pardons, through an originalist's view of the Constitution, it appears unconstitutional…"
