The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

It's true. Whenever I think about how bad things are now, I have to remember they were also terrible throughout our history. I have to wonder if we've made any progress at all.

Well, looks like we will have American soldiers opening fire on citizens in Chicago by this time next week.

And when that happens, all Hell is gonna break loose.

All for the lowest piece of scum the human race has ever vomited forth.

A lot of libertarians who have been screaming in my replies about "authoritarianism" and "tyranny" for the last four years are conspicuously quiet right now.

Curious.

Torn between "fuck these guys" and "we probably need all hands on deck at this point."

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

People have already forgotten Charlie Kirk and Rush Limbaugh.

No one has forgotten about Jesus, Buddha, or Martin Luther King.

When one's message is hate, one will be forgotten quickly.

If one's message is love, that person will still be remembered decades, or even millennia, later.

It is fundamental to reactionary psychology to reject responsibility for anything negative. It's always someone else forced them, someone else's fault.

Consequently, pretty much every fascist has a story about how the left-- the professors, the queers, the academics, the kids --"radicalized" them.

All Trump loyalists get a libidinal thrill watching him piss on the Constitution, but I wrote about the subset who feel exposed by their obvious hypocrisy, and so pretend it's all a regrettable consequence of Barack Obama radicalizing them. www.offmessage.net/p/they-radic...

They Radicalized Themselves

And we can pinpoint when it happened.
