This is why we are at WAR with the republicans: they believe their own bullshit, to the point of suicidal insanity.

Republicans get cancer too. Boycotting medical research signals they are beyond all reason. We must destroy them.

how to extrapolate from that though?

it's usually easy enough to improve on an immature technology...

but how good can it get?

the problem is that the protests I get my ass to are on the wrong side of the world to matter right now

I'm a disenfranchised global citizen, subject of the US empire... but not a US citizen or resident...

yes, I did say "mostly"

I'm rooting for the 5% of people who could actually make the world a better place if the rest of us listened to them

not holding my breath though : (

...maybe that I should finally do my homework so I can decide whether to also call myself a marxist or not...

hey religious people, you're a massive part of the problem @sesquipedalias.bsky.social · 42m

my marxist friends tell me zappa and carlin weren't the first to make such points

and I don't have any friends who were around during the french revolution

there were also a bunch of people who were slaughtered by the athenians for resisting athenian imperialism

idk where I'm going with this

Zappa went on national TV in 1986 and warned of theocratic fascism. Major network prime time TV shows. Also Carlin... are who woke up some folks.

the dems are mostly just nazi collaborators

and if we get rid of the current ruling nazis, the dems will continue as the ruling techno-fascist party they've always been

the latter is the scarier point; say cheetolini croaks and the maga cult dissolves--that still doesn't solve our problems

Question
Democrats took an OATH as elected public servants to protect constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic, correct?

When exactly do you plan to throw seditious insurrectionist traitorous collaborative kkkaucus into prison as your OATH requires? Asking for your boss, the taxpayers.

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN.
Who the hell does he think he is?

Plenary?Plenary authority?

No Steven Miller, Wrong again!!

No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government
