The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

an additional absurd element is that it is elevation of brutality by the softest men you can imagine, formed by lives lived almost entirely without meaningful struggle or challenge
Trump’s White House UFC fight is an elevation of brutality.
Fascism has appeal because its energies exist within all of us. We all have the capacity for hate and violence. What makes liberal democracy unique is how it asks us to transcend our basest selves.

Bending your institution to meet the prejudices of your dumbest, meanest students is a surefire way to destroy a university.
Now any student can just scrawl “the Bible says this is wrong” on any test and skate to an A at the Oklahoma Football Outlet and Diploma Factory.

Don’t forget the lessons of Charles Dickens this Christmas: “live your life in a way that, if you get your shit absolutely rocked in the boxing ring, like just straight up annihilated, the general public won’t celebrate your humiliation like an international holiday.”

If Miller thinks that an expropriation of wealth generations ago is an outrage that demands recompense today, then I eagerly accept his apparent endorsement of reparations for American slavery.

My whole life conservative and mainstream news have lampooned Democrats for wanting to create a “nanny state” over beverage taxes and these fucking clowns are out here minding which words you get to use.
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is why there is no contradiction with being 'pro-life' and 'anti-vaccine'.
In both instances it is about underscoring who owns the bodies in question. The state owns the bodies of women; parents own the bodies of their children.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.
The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.
It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.
