suppose that, having been kidnapped and tied up in the back seat, you notice that the driver, although he menacingly repeats his intention to drive you to the slaughterhouse, is, even so, clearly too drunk to get the car where he intends. i say this would likely strike you only as *partly* good news

to cheer on the prospect that your fellow citizen and human being might be persecuted by a carnival-grotesque of a tyrant, is an opinion capable of being held and expressed by one and only one type of being — namely, a dirty dog!!!

earnestness is back, so know that according to me (the Root Beer Man), this opinion is truly disgusting!

imprisoning will stencil, like doing the same to cassie the cocaine vs. bananas lady, is not something i would be entirely brokenup about. they're not as noxious & counterproductive as the bruenigs, nathan robinson, or jeremy scahill, & the like, but they can still suck it.

not the biggest thing in the world but the passage of the ACA, in 2010, seems very unlikely to have greatly reduced the number of requests on gofundme, a website founded in 2010

in my opinion, and i say this with mixed feelings, if we want to rebuild america w/o violence of ‘really bad purges’ or &c., this is exactly the kind/level of apology we need to become comfortable fully accepting. with its limitations. guys should know that if they come this far they’re off the hook

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I think the most useful political activity most of us can engage in rn is to encourage as many people as possible to attend the Oct 18 protests.

Root Beer Man @linusr.bsky.social · 17d

EPSTEIN, how long till the vile PELOSI demands I, the ROOT BEER MAN, issue a Publick Apologie, for my longtime MOCKERY (Japes, &c.), of DAN’S BALD HEADE?!!!!

Every One seemeth to be PRAISINGE that vile OAF, viz., Messr.
