I don’t think it has registered with the American people just how dark and serious the situation is. We are posting memes whilst democracy is dismantled in front of our faces. In his essay The Fate of Empires, Glub hypothesised the average life of an empire is 250 yrs. archive.org/details/fate...

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Dear Officers:

You are not witnessing “insurrection”.

You are confronting law-abiding fellow citizens. To please the self-claimed king.

Are you proud of the mission?

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

This is so embarrassing. And worrying. But mostly embarrassing. This guy sways governments. All the while having no media literacy to speak of.

No wonder his pal Divorcymandias misunderstood Dune so much.

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.

Overnight, Ukrainian SBU and SOF drones struck several military-linked targets in occupied Crimea. Hits included the Feodosia oil terminal, where at least five storage tanks were ignited, and two key substations: 220 kV “Kafa” in Feodosia and 330 kV “Simferopol”. Causing major power disruptions.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Proud as fuck of my co-host.

Another banger.

All of this occurred while David
Grusch quietly sat in the background.
Reduced to a part-time member of Rep.
Burlison's staff, Grusch, who was once a symbol of truth and
transparency (swearing that an op-ed was just around the corner), is now playing his new role quite well.
Instead of helping the US public navigate this crazy web of lies, bring a single person to justice, or uncover any valuable information, Grusch is now twiddling his thumbs.
Why? Is he waiting for his job offer from Alex Karp?

Yes, disabled people deserve nice things too.

They deserve to have whatever social life possible for them.
They deserve to have holidays if able.
They deserve to have support, entertainment, and hobbies.

All of these can be fundamental to a good quality of life.
