Mom picked me up from the airport last night and we started talking about what's going on in Minnesota.
She said it was un-American and I said it's actually quite American, you're just not used to it happening to these types of people, at this scale.
And then we were just quiet for a while.

I've seen enough people compare the violent occupation of major cities by paramilitary goon squads to being asked to show a vaccine card to understand that some people will support mass summary executions because they're mad their kids won't talk to them anymore

Fruitless highlighting of hypocrisy is its own genre of discourse now. Pointing out hypocrisy has been useless for years in this environment.
In 2026, my response to it is: of course.
They're fascists.
They don't believe everyone should have the same rights and standards. It's a core feature.

The first rule of being a Democratic politician is you're not allowed to do anything popular because that might turn out to be unpopular.

America has always been an armed robbery country
But we used to do it with guns.
Now our tactic is to set ourselves on fire and threaten to hug you if you don't give us your money.

The Minneapolis police department (that paragon of respect and care for human rights) has around 600 sworn officers.
Who could have predicted sending in 2,000 newly conscripted poorly trained guys with masks and Proud Boys tats who used to work at a Sprint store would cause problems?

We have a media apparatus that loves war and cannot critically assess violence carried out by the state, because it excites them and makes them feel "serious."
It has been this way my entire life. There is no critical analysis of empire which is boosted in any way by mainstream news organizations.

One thing conspicuously missing--not even gestured at--by all the mainstream media sources I've checked, is the number of people we just killed while kidnapping a foreign head of state. There's no way we didn't just kill a bunch of innocent people.
This is not to be mentioned, I guess.

In America we have a cheeky little Xmas tradition where we bomb two sovereign countries in a week without declaring war or even spending much effort trying to justify it.
It's like Boxing Day but instead of giving food to poor people we bomb them.

Tonight, the story goes, as you sleep, the former Bishop of Byzantium will sneak into your house, wearing the red robes of a high-ranking member of the medieval clergy.
There’s nothing you can do to stop him.
He’ll find his way in.
He’s there for the children.

So a mysterious bearded foreigner in exotic religious garb that practices some form of sorcery who's been surveilling your children without your consent is going to make entry into your house in the middle of the night and your plan is to reward him with milk and cookies?
Couldn't be me, sheeple.
