Oh yeah. We’re going to need that Truth and Reconciliation Commission when this is all over. And a lot of people in jail for regime crimes.

Holy Shit. Will Stancil is a poasting king.

No Kings is like an order of magnitude bigger than the civil rights movement, if you want to place it on a scale of historically notable activism. What’s your plan though? I’m all ears!

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

Ah yes. Christian music. The faith that inspired “Jesus joy of man’s desiring” by Bach and… *checks Spotify…. “Your name is Holy” and “I believe in Jesus” by an Australian money laundering sex ring.

Why would anyone buy a screaming sign-on-wheels that says “I’m a douchebag”?

Al Smith was also a vehement critic of the New Deal and a last vestige of Tammany Hall. I think Mamdani would say his guiding light is actually Fiorello LaGuardia.

White kids get to be kids until their 40s. Black and brown kids are adults at the age of 11.

I hate this tone from Democrats. Feeding the conspiratorial beast only helps MAGA. Why would anyone trust Dems with anything if everything really is as screwed up as they say, yet Dems are still seen as elite? It’s self-destructive!

Again, you have the power to choose. You can react to things in a different way that brings value to your life.

You sure seem to care a lot about how ill I may be for someone who says “no one cares.”

Umm… good question as well, and this is where I leave my libertarian youth behind. Should there be limits on democratic control of individual rights to movement and commerce? I think there should be depending on what and how much. But guys like Peter Thiel say there shouldn’t be limits at all.

You’re crapping on people for not accepting universal masking.

Ideal? No. But the best we can do is make the system of requesting passage and residency as simple and respectful to human rights as possible. Westphalia may not have had any democratic representatives, but it was the first time territorial sovereignty was defined beyond the whims of a monarch.

Request is made to the destination country’s government to receive its citizen. It’s a request made as a matter of respect to the people there who have a stake in who is in their country. Why is this necessary? Because it’s human nature to define yourself as a member of your nation/tribe/community.

Ideally, no authority would have a say in how individuals decide to conduct business or interact with any individual regardless of national origin if that interaction is harmless to other individuals. But we don’t live in that world. We live in a world of passports and visas… where the

Excellent question! And might I say an impressive libertarian one at that. The problem with the basis of your question is that it ignores the psychic satisfaction of being a member of the nation. And to be a national, you have to define yourself as such against someone who isn’t (foreigner).

Because they’re citizens. And outsiders are not. And citizens ultimately get to decide who is part of their nation and who isn’t. This is Westphalian sovereignty 101. It sounds xenophobic because, but it doesn’t have to be.

It’s not even that the system is *that* restrictive. It’s just nonsensical.
