You WILL pay your fair share of taxes

You WILL take a govt job through a 3rd New Deal program

You WILL attend a mainline lib church

You WILL respect trans people's pronouns

You WILL turn off the podcasters, Twitch streamers, and op-ed columnists

You WILL be imbued with republican civic virtue

Vance spent years being fellated and fawned over as this intellectual titan of the New Right with piercing insights into the American psyche that you just HAD to pay attention to, and he really is just the most vilely demagogic bottom-feeder we've seen in national politics in a long, long time.

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

This is both why it was done at Tahrir Square and why you do not want things to devolve to necessitating Tahrir Square shit

There’s basically one set of conditions where shining lasers at aircraft is a good idea, and that’s when the aircraft in question is actively attempting to kill you and the laser is the best thing you’ve got. We aren’t there yet, you do not want us to get there. Don’t shine lasers at aircraft.

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

President Trump’s move to cancel projects in Democratic states during the government shutdown has prompted allegations of partisanship.

Democrats see a pattern of inflicting pain on places that are politically unfriendly.

Denying entrance to a Eucharistic Procession is to Catholicism kinda like what desecrating the flag is to the American civic religion, except with even more weight of history and tradition behind it!

But in case you missed it, Fr Dowling's statement takes the time to make it explicit: "Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing."

For any Catholic, the sight of a Eucharistic Procession being turned away at the gates of the destination is the embodiment of Jesus being denied entrance. You don't have to be Catholic to get the symbolism in that!

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

I'm willing to say a lot of radical things, but if you think "someone making money" or "the existence of corporations" is the main reason things suck, you are not playing in the intellectual league I'm interested in being in

Everything that could be said to refute this Cult of Joe Steel conspiratorial materialist nonsense has been said at this point so instead I’ll just say it’s cool to see this guy getting uniformly jumped on instead of pretending we still have to take this dumb shit seriously

The US never fought to end fascism anywhere. They joined the war because Japan forced their hand, and they saw a great way to make money. After the USSR pretty much had pushed Germany out of eastern Europe and they knew the nazis were going to lose, they jumped in.

I love guys who are just blithely confident in their ignorance, they read like one statement on a tankie forum four years ago and now they think they know everything about one of the most involved conflicts in human history.

We need to drop the Neo-Pelagian garbage that says people are naturally compassionate people who will make compassionate decisions. We are not and we will not. Virtue must be cultivated and tended to in every part of our public and private lives are we will lose our heart for it and kill each other

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
