If you have credentialism but once you get the credentials it's basically impossible to lose them, and you gatekeep all healthcare behind those credentials, you've got a system ripe for abuse and corruption.

This man is a monster. If you've ever wondered why Biden murdered a million people and made 40 million more long-term sick, costing the economy trillions, rather than stop COVID, it's because of this man and his colleagues.

He should have been thrown out of the medical profession in disgrace the second he suggested we "kill the weak" and "infect children" in response to the rise of SARS2.

This is what happens when you don't clean up your messes, MDs.

MAGA took a bunch of the most damaged and morally deformed people in regular society and put them on an employment roster - names, social security numbers, addresses, relatives, the works.

Epstein did the same thing with the ruling class.

If we don't use these lists to deal with these people - in whatever way is deemed appropriate and necessary - we're fools who deserve to be governed by a child rape syndicate.

"OMG you want to make *lists* of people based on *what they believe*?!?"

Hun, I want to use lists that already exist of dangerously antisocial people to protect the most vulnerable. These lists are *self-selected* - people *volunteered* to be put on these lists, so they could *rape and murder and kidnap* innocents, including children.

Not everything is the same as everything else. smh

Whenever I read a journalist call it an "immigration crackdown" I want to weep while I shake them over and over and over again, while saying between sobs:

"You. Don't. Have. To. Print. Whatever. They. Tell. You. To."

In a lot of ways, Minneapolis was the worst place to start this little fascist takeover, because I grew up in the Great Lakes region and the neoliberals never really successfully stamped out the "we're in this together" culture there.

Go to NYC in a crisis and you'll see similarly connected neighborhoods coming together for common good.

These paleofascists are hopelessly incompetent and that's a gift.

Our current systems are extremely good at taking serious problems and shoveling them down the economic class ladder so that they drown the poor but only inconvenience the middle and upper classes.

this has led a lot of people to believe that the problems they hear about that disproportionately affect the poor are actually just *not real*, incl COVID (which will catch up to them), climate change (same), regulation and oversight (same), war (enlisted, professional, standing army...) etc.

The political class' focus on moral panics rather than real problems - to distract from the fact that these problems are the natural result of their ideology - leads people to believe that the "real" problems are cultural, not political or material.

So the reason there's unrest in society is because we think trans people are people; or because I'm married to my husband; or because "Satanist cults".

Not because 60% of people in the US experienced housing or food insecurity in the last year.

The unrest is from fentanyl, or houseless people, or exploding crime rates.

Not because people are sick 2x more in our post-public health, COVID-wracked, immune deficient present, while the cost of healthcare skyrockets even for people with insurance.

Not because of the direct and intended results of the ruling ideology's meticulously crafted and maintained systems, a few of which are listed above.

But all that's catching up to them, because someone got elected that didn't understand.

Didn't understand that real power exists in the shadows, not in the light. That people generally distrust the abjectly, shamelessly powerful, *especially* in the United States.

That the best way to foment a rebellion is to make your authoritarian government coherent enough to target as the cause of the people's troubles, rather than a hazy, vague feeling of disquiet, paralysis and despair that just hangs over everything.

But here's the trick: this rebellion was gonna happen sooner or later no matter what.

Democrats are baddies, they just understand that some "thoughts and prayers", a sensitively positioned eyebrow, and being "heartbroken" at the results of the policies they eagerly implemented will get them decades of slack. *BUT* that slack is not infinite.

I'm reminded of East Palestine, a disaster that followed Joe Biden's crushing of the railworkers' strike for more time off and better safety procedures.

A poor town, East Palestine, OH was flooded with some of the most toxic gas, water pollution, and earth poisoning available to mankind, after a train derailed because it wasn't inspected properly before it headed out, and then numbnut fuckfaces *set the chemicals on fire*, probably to try and cover it up.

OF course, it ended up creating a black mushroom cloud that literally looked like a biblical incarnation of Death, itself.

The slowness with which people have come to accept that

"The U.S. recommends ________"

or

"The U.S. has issued an advisory about ____________"

now mean

"The U.S. govt has a reason to lie about ___________, whether material or whimsical, and *This* is what they'd like you to believe"

has really annoyed the fuck out of me.

Dem Governors obviously think that suppressing rather than mobilizing their overwhelmingly anti-fash population is the strategic move, but this is classic Democratic analysis - meaning it's so wrong in so many ways that it beggars belief the people doing it are not, in fact, in a coma.

Walz should have told Minnesotans to flood the streets peacefully and block all traffic. He should have shut down the city.

He should have *mobilized* and *shaped* to bring about effective direct action.

Instead, he basically threatened his own people with military force if they so much as sneezed in the street without a permit.

By doing this he only ensured two things: ICE would continue to abuse and possibly kill Minneapolis residents, and the righteous rage building in the hearts of all decent people would have no immediate, constructive outlet.

What happens to rage deferred? (It explodes)

Walz thinks he's being prudent, but he's all but ensuring the reaction, when it comes, is 10x.

This is, of course, very familiar to anyone who has honestly observed Democrats. They are absolute fools, through and through. Wisdom has no purchase in their souls.

Walz had better hope that ICE doesn't kill anyone else, because if they do shit will get very real very quickly and literally nobody will listen to him, and his *entire* legacy will be that he lost an election to the destroyer of the United States and then used force to defend that monster's gestapo.

The ozone layer absorbs roughly 98% of incoming UVB light from both the sun and cosmological sources. Space is, not to put too fine a point on it, *anti-life*. The Earth's atmosphere (the ozone layer being a key part of this) and dynamo molten iron core (which creates our unique magnetic field) are literally the only reasons life exists *at all*.

One of the reasons "colonizing Mars" is nonsense is that it doesn't have either an ozone layer or a strong magnetic field.

I wish we had spent the last 26 years teaching people that the reason the 2000 bug didn't destroy a significant amount of our infrastructure is because *we caught it* and *spent thousands of hours fixing it* BEFORE the year 2000

Because within that little perplexion - people thinking the problem was a hoax because it was fixed before it destroyed shit - is an encapsulation of the current era of Western politics, including COVID mitigation, lesser evil politics, fascism, and crime rate hyperbole

But "nothing" isn't really an option here, as we see now that they are on control of the systems of control we were assured would never fall into the very hands that now use them.

I do not think systems of control should exist, nor police or prisons. I do not think that borders, or what we today think of as a "State" should exist. I do not think that punitive "justice" systems are effective.

But I also don't want to live subject to people without the capability to make moral choices.

Within this is the paradox facing anti-capital punishment and anti-prison folks: namely, a small but persistent part of society possesses all the tools to function within and shape society, but none of the tools to make moral or ethical decisions outside of a framework of consequences they fear.

Absent physical threat, they will make choices that harm the rest of us, that satisfy their basest urges or give them some kind of visceral reward.

I honestly don't know what we do with them.
