One of the foundational laws of conservativism is that parents own their children, and the concept of a minor to them is one of earning the right to self-ownership (which remains a privilege in their eyes even after adulthood) rather than guardianship as a means to cultivate natural self ownership.

I'm not saying that meeting with a bloodthirsty genocidal war criminal CAN necessarily be done in good faith, I'm just saying that it would support a claim of being hopelessly naive to the reality v. the truth. It would have, "When Stalin hears of this he will be furious..." vibes.

It'd be defensible *if there was any proof he actually did it* and *made it clear to everyone that he did*. Like, that's a really low fucking bar, but there is no evidence that he stepped over it at all.

I'm sick of people complaining about virtue signaling. Signal virtue! Signal it! Vice signaling sure seems to work. Why the fuck shouldn't we have little signs and flags and shit? Don't stop there, but signal virtue, otherwise I'm going to assume you're part of the problem and act accordingly.

There is a robust marketplace of ideas, but one of those ideas is, "You would stop doing the thing I disagree with if you were shot by a bullet," and one side has this idea all the fucking time and then blames someone else for the idea each time they use it.

"A" for creativity, and while I am certain that this is par for the course in those circles, I feel like you would not need to make many examples before the behavior stopped.

Judges do know that they can deputize agents of the court to carry out a court order, right? It has always been an option. It's right there. They almost never do.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · Aug 19

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

I feel like Joe Cappa and Tim Robinson both play exactly one note, but they do it well and consistently. One trick ponies with an extremely good trick. Kind of like Brad Neely before Adult Swim got a hold of him.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Another deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. Like previous ones:
-targeted based on proven liars saying “drug traffickers” without presenting any evidence
-illegal under both US and int’l law
-where US forces aren’t under threat and can interdict
-bad strategy if actually against traffickers

My most controversial geopolitical opinion is that America with unlimited national sovereignty unfettered by international law is like a toddler with diplomatic immunity who only eats chocolate and ice cream that they steal from the corner store.

Another: Ayn Rand's philosophy is detestable, but she is not a horrible writer – at least, not in the way that people want her to be. Her books are all pretty good. All of them. The events are absurd and could never happen, but that's most fiction anyway.
