“Road-rage incident” like it wasn’t intentional, it was just a little road rage. Everyone gets it. It’s like the common cold. Sometimes people just decide to fatally injure another person because of a perceived slight. Murder? No, just a little bit of teensy weensy road rage

Pianoforte is such a funny name to me. Imagine meeting someone with the name Quietloud, Softhard, or Gentlystrong.

The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter.

They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move

My brother in Christ, you came into MY mentions with your little irrelevant anecdote.

Graeme @graeme-wa.bsky.social · 9d

The whole conversation around this has been infuriating because everyone focuses on the “big losses” and no one is focusing on the fact that it’s A GOVERNMENT SERVICE ITS NOT MEANT TO MAKE MONEY.

It’s also amazing the ways a lot of Democrats/centrists just don’t listen. Like Klein keeps asking “how do the Democrats win?” like it’s just a game and everything will be fine if Kamala Harris becomes President. All the while Ta-Nehisi is like “it’s not about winning. People are being persecuted!”

I had some issues with Ta-Nehisi because he was a little too swoony about Obama, and felt a little detached. But this is very real and very aware.

I somehow did not know this. I just assumed everything was in Brussels. I’ve even been to Strasbourg and no one said a thing about it, nor did I see any tourist information directed to it.

The very least we could do after this is sanction Israel and stop selling them arms.

Why does it take tanks rolling in for the West’s do-nothing position to become untenable? We’ve been at genocide levels for a year at this point.

Is it an escalation of tensions? Maybe, but the Federal government is going to do it anyway and it’s better to do that first to protect your community than waiting for the government to do it to you.

Graeme @graeme-wa.bsky.social · 18d

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again. It is so easy to get a gun in the US that there is no excuse for communities not to have armed patrols to protect against ICE and right-wing violence. The Black Panthers did it the 60s and 70s and community groups did it in San Francisco in the 80s.

The government of Canada has come down harder on these rappers than on a state committing genocide.

Israel still has an embassy in Canada despite Israel not only publicly endorsing violence and hate, but killing tens of thousands of people. Perhaps hundreds of thousands. We don't even know anymore.
