Where on Earth did you get the idea that I supported the kids doing this? When a photographer says “give a Nazi salute” the correct answer is “go fuck yourself” and anybody over 3 should know that. The only kids I feel bad for are the ~3-5 of them who don’t appear to be giving the salute. The rest of them can go…

Warren Buffet is not OK. Don’t pay attention to his “Uncle Grandpa” schtick on CNBC. Pay attention to his businesses. Bill Gates made computers. Warren Buffet makes redlining.

I kind of wish the 4 or 5 kids not participating in it still had their faces blurred in the original. Some online sleuths are more zealous than they are careful.

Apparently this was the photographer’s idea, not the kids’. So I’m sure his Nazi ass thinks calling him out is “malevolent” because of course he does.

There’s a few people not throwing it. Kid on the bottom right doesn’t appear to be throwing it or any other WP sign, although he does appear to be amused. I also don’t see “the black kid” throwing it so IDK why they are saying he did. There’s also the kid on the bottom fourth-from-right who seems to be making a…

The fact that you’re afraid of automation instead of embracing it shows how perverse it is that the rich control the means of production. In a sane world, we’d all be looking forward to working 15 hours a week and having the rest as free time. But for that we have to seize power from the rich. UBI doesn’t go far…

It doesn’t have to be that way. Legislatures are a holdover from a system designed to prevent the ordinary person from having power. People can take power themselves by unionizing, organizing to resist their landlords’ greed, etc., in a way that doesn’t require actually holding a legislative seat. The recent teachers’…

Organize! If your job is already unionized what about your apartment complex? What about your neighborhood association? Getting people engaged in politics in a way that makes a real difference for them here and now will keep them engaged in the future. It’s much harder for the forces of apathy and suppression to…

Just use whatever canned phrase comes to mind. Nobody who isn’t a blogger hoping Forbes won’t notice they’re not earning their pay gives a shit. Working life is an endless series of petty cliches and you’re not getting paid to innovate some novel way of telling people they’re flakes.

Diversity of tactics. Give them a choice between being educated and being considered idiot bigots.

You don’t want to celebrate the fact that a religious cult so hated in England - among other things, for their constant attempts to cancel Christmas - that they had to flee the country was found starving and nearly dead by Native Americans who had to teach them the most basic elements of survival, and repaid those…

I was probably wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, as per usual, and told people I was “ego death incarnate” or “the coming digital media apocalypse”

It’s also an attempt to shift the Overton window even farther to the right by getting lots of people talking about it like it was a reasonable thing for reasonable people to discuss.

...which is why there are so many people in prison for the most absolute bullshit things.

Forbes’ write-up about the election result was largely a celebration of the investment opportunities, with a short “oh by the way he’s not very nice” tossed off to make it appear like they’re not flat-out fascists.

They’re not trying to sneak in. They’re trying to present themselves for asylum.

Nope. She’s a Nazi. I wonder how long it will take her to realize that all Nazi men abuse women and children to make themselves feel powerful because that’s the whole point of a political philosophy that puts some people below others.

“We’re trying to repeal preexisting conditions coverage because we want to support it” is right up there with “we’re spending millions to repeal net neutrality because we believe in net neutrality” on the scale of Republican and corporate lies.

Brand new, first month with them.
