The biggest one just blew down last night, hanging in the dry room now.
Would have liked another week or two, but sure smells sweet.

I ain't mourning shit if you decide to have a rave at a concentration camp and you end up dying a little in the process that's entirely your own fault

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Typing “Greta + Kamala” into the search engine here gets more articles about Harris getting speech tips from the director of Barbie than about Harris defending Thunberg.

You would be better advised to focus on fighting today (your party heroes clearly are not up to anything beyond empty, performative rhetoric), not on pimping yet another right-centrist chud for candidacy three years from now.

have you heard the bad news that the national democratic party is controlled opposition who has willingly helped the nazis seize power?

Seems pretty clear that the trend among core Dems is indeed to abandon principles much as Newsome always has.

They want a savior, not a solution.

I think being polite to the willfully ignorant is a waste of *nice*.
They’re why we’re mired in this present-day shit. Fuck them.

No they are absolutely not.
Liberals are right-centrists with zero self-awareness or political awareness.

And you are a deluded cultist.

To put your body on the line against a genocide backed by the west isn’t the sort of courage they applaud. By displaying a moral consistency that to her no doubt seemed obvious, but to the liberal class is a mortal sin, Thunberg exposes every professed liberal value as a lie.

I like how, sometimes, some white people pleasantly surprise me. I'm seeing that with Greta Thunberg right now. I admire it. More power to her. Put her life at risk on the flotilla, got deported and then immediately did it again.

I can see their strategists now: “The problem is we didn’t go fascist ENOUGH”.

The lesser-evil philosophy has so notably prevented evil this far. Democrats have sacrificed reproductive rights, immigration policy, civil rights, homeless rights, and now trans rights, and gained *check notes” fascism controlling all branches of government.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Understood. Comment was more for them than for you.

Sounds like they are unclear on reality - and on what it means to stand for anything whatsoever.

Doc Gordon @vthermit.bsky.social · 4h

If only they’d defended what they are instead of soing what they claim to oppose.

Absolute moral and political cowards.

Doc Gordon @vthermit.bsky.social · 4h

Why, that would require ACTUALLY giving a fuck instead of merely belonging to a cult.

A lot more work, a lot more commitment required. Centrists are lazy fucks.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but most of the time when you purport to be the "devil's advocate" in an argument, you're just being an asshole

an interesting fact of our moment is that the only political faction who are literal reactionaries are the people who style themselves centrists, moderates. 1/
