Why is every call for the left & liberals to unite against the right always aimed at the left? A finger wagging at the uncooperative left? Because the left is expected “unite” by asking for nothing and expecting nothing. The left must “unite” by getting in line behind the liberals and being quiet

That's not true of all police officers. You shouldn't paint them all with one brush.

25% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. If this is you, you are not a capitalist.

if a governor said "protect these people from ice" and the state police said "no" things would probably pop off a lil bit

political power beats institutional power every time. a leader is not bound by law, they are bound only by what the people will accept. this has always been the case. if a leader breaks a law, somebody has to arrest them. if the cops won’t do that, then the law is a figment of your imagination

obviously the butterfly wings on the tapir, any other configuration would be grotesque

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

tapir and butterfly

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

remember what i was saying about political power being superior to institutional power?

pritzker won't order the state police to protect chicago from the national guard and ice because they would disobey him, and then the game would be up

uhuh

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

disappointing, far from surprising

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

it’s ironic that one of the most fucked up things to happen at a limp bizkit concert were the events of woodstock 99, and that most certainly wasn’t antifa

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

i like to optimistically refer to it as depth. or at least, the optimistic part of me does…

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

it’s clear we fundamentally disagree, this conversation is a waste of time. you aren’t going to accept that this is a genocide because then you’d have to reckon with things you don’t want to reckon with. i’ve said what i think of you, i’m done. ciao

lol you said the thing

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

i have an outward show of cynicism but it’s just a wall of protection, beneath that i’m really a very hopeful person, and then beneath that, i’m a husk, and then beneath that, i’m filled with confusion and doubt, and then beneath that…

drinking wine from the bottle because the world is ending and i don’t want to do dishes

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

and i wonder, in the future, when every history book refers to it as the obvious genocide it so obviously is, will you look back on this conversation with any self analysis? i’d imagine not, sadly. not that it really matters, it’s just something i wonder from time to time

the majority of the ppl who agree with you are politicians funding the genocide, media people who worship empire, genuine ghouls, and people like you, wanting an excuse to feel like endorsing the intentional starvation of a million people is fine. that’s not independent genocide experts

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

well there are an awful lot of independent genocide experts who disagree with you, but i’m sure you’re right. after all, being wrong would make you a monster, and i’m sure that doesn’t remotely factor into your judgement on this

Chris_MJ @chrismj199.bsky.social · 2d

and you used very few words to equate genocide, the single worst crime known to our species - the crime of adolf hitler, with “imperfect”. your ethics and mine are clearly not the same, let’s leave it at that
