Nothing special, interesting or unique, just more of the same. I'm eternally binging on hope so I can smile in Evil's face wherever I meet It. Be kind, be true, apologize. Be the first to extend the olive branch. Laugh. BMFS Crew!

The 5th bullet point from the article:

"Independent media remains essential to expose these truths, where corporate media often fails to challenge power."

is so true nowadays, yet I would still replace "often fails" with something a little truthier like "almost always fails" or something similar.

Shit, EVERYONE should be paying attention.

But, many won't, and history will repeat itself.

If the world wants Russian doll-like irony, we can even hold the trials in Nuremburg, PA.

It's always in the backdrop context of some kind of a "how dare you not mention how great or transformational this president is?" accusation-levied tone.

How dare we contravene such a great, GREAT man and Nobel-robbed peace president that's solved, resolved and absolved now 732 wars and counting?

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

You could really almost just call this "passive selling", since "selling someone" on something is just getting them to do what you want them to do.

Whew! Now that they'll see this data for a second year in a row, surely the quality education they themselves received will dictate that they follow the data and drop this voucher nonsense once and for all now that they know for sure it doesn't work.

Whenever they put Aunt Tifa on new meds, we always find her wandering about in the mall, eating tacos and yelling about Biden and ballrooms until they get the proper dosages nailed down.

The irony in this is the old argument I'd often hear from the right about how those other countries can only afford universal healthcare because of our military protection that they don't have to pay for.

The multifacets of fascism, brought to you by the same as it ever was crowd of those that lust for total power and control due to personal insecurities and shortcomings, playing out in varying ideations, over and over since the term was first used.

I don't know why though. Somebody has to do all the tasks the wealthy don't want to do and AI robots aren't quite ready yet.
