I had seen a video talking about how the military had and can be used to enact violent control, naming a few past events from the past century. I found all of them on Wikipedia, and want to list them here for everyone to get an idea of what happened then, and can happen now. (1/?)

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

I feel frustrated that “bad writing” nowadays is just people’s catch all way of saying they didn’t like it. Cuz what’s the bad writing? the story? dialogue? structure? A lot is subjective to taste. There’s always ways to detect “bad writing” but it takes justification past “this isn’t what I wanted”

the disastrous refusal of the self-styled silicon valley technokings to keep anyone in their lives capable of questioning their increasingly incomprehensible politics has lead to a crisis of thinking so severe that a fifty-eight year old man believes something is important because he knows about it

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

seeing people so confidently parrot lies, that have been so thoroughly debunked, makes me think i should dismiss everything else they say as untrustworthy, even if i thought we had similar politics.

Fascist and authoritarian movements rely on misinformation and fear to gain power. We must actively counter their lies, propaganda, and scaremongering with verifiable facts.

Two pairs of large, weathered hands hold small piles of fine white granules between thumb and forefinger, sprinkling them downward in symmetrical streams against a warm, dark brown background. The left stream appears as salt, the right as sugar, both indistinguishable in appearance. Centered below the falling granules is white text on a beige overlay: "Be careful who you trust. Salt and sugar look the same." The composition evokes caution through visual similarity and subtle wordplay.

In the 1930s and 1940s it could be argued that many Germans didn’t know what was going on. Americans cannot do the same. It’s plastered all over the internet and all over national and international news. You’ll never be able to get away with the “I didn’t know” excuse. You do know so do something.

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

Extremely funny that people think this is now a Pritzker hate account when all we've been doing is documenting the same police violence we've been documenting well before this ICE surge

Sorry for disrupting your worldview. Welcome to what cops are!!!

Just so this is clear:

When an unaccompanied minor crosses the border CBP puts them in a facility. Then they threaten the kid with lifelong (indefinite) detention (not even deportation) in an adult facility starting the day they turn 18 if the kid won't self-deport for $2,500.

America is evil

"'People don’t like the idea of doing these things to kids. Over and over again this administration thinks there is support for the idea that we as a country can do this to children and they’re 80/20 issues.'"

Exclusive: Dems Fire Back at Trump’s ‘Freaky’ Kid Self-Deportation Plan

It is both not as gross AND worse than you think.
