Brey, I dunno how you found my email but let me be totally clear:
When the absolute worst people out here were dragging my name through the mud and making up a scandal about me somehow being an antisemite for using the phrase "Pig Empire" to describe the US-led, western capitalist coalition running hellworld, you decided to support that smear while admitting you had no idea what you were talking about. The chances of you *ever* getting off my blocklist are literally less than zero.

  @AnarchoNinaWrites I just can't even with these people ... as the kids say.
  And Hunter S Thompson is my model for people I don't agree with all the time, but who have some great ideas and who I'd love to hang out with.

  1. Photo of Hunter S. Thompson looking right into camera, sitting at his typewriter, with text of his quote: "'That's the real issue this time,' he said. 'Beating Nixon. It's hard to even guess how much damage those bastards will do if they get in for another four years.' "The argument was familiar, I had even made it myself, here and there, but I was beginning to sense something very depressing about it. How many more of these goddamn elections are we going to have to write off as lame, but 'regrettably necessary' holding actions? And how many more of these stinking double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils? "Now with another one of these big bogus showdowns looming down on us, I can already pick up the stench of another bummer. I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing this year is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960 - and as far as I can tell, we've gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same." - Hunter S. Thompson 1972

  @AnarchoNinaWrites But thank you for inventing the term "Pig Empire," right? 😂
  Oh wait, that was "noted antisemite*" Abbie Hoffman.

  @MattMerk Yeah, I knew I'd picked it up from SOMEWHERE, but it wasn't till after that shitstorm started that I realized it was Hoffman; it's also not all that different from Hunter S. Thompson's "Swine Nation" to describe Nixonian America.
