Without a conscience, I could have been Q.

Had I been able to conform, I’d have been a pastor.

Now I’m some kind of artsy-fartsy, paganish commie.
I’m glad you’re feeling better, Layla. 🙂

this whole thing is so fucking dumb

Rubio and Hegseth keep provoking Venezuela in the hopes of creating pretext for a ground invasion, Trump is sort of dawdling along with them and happy to do posts about an upcoming war

increasingly worried they're gonna back into the dumbest war of my lifetime

The thread covers some of this but not enough.

What it misses is that Jeffries is busy coming up with slogans while he is telling his members not to take action.

The problem is the lack of action. And keeping busy with slogans now is an error.
The problem with that slogan right now, however, is that it reads as tone deaf while everything is collapsing around us and those in charge are looting, cheating, and destroying everything. I'm no political strategist, but it feels like messaging should reflect that first.

Perhaps this is a symptom of abuse.

I think, too, there is this general sentimentality in American culture which both contradicts consumerism and acts as a way to cope with it. It is very contrived.

We feel like we need to feel something very important each holiday, or else the dead soldiers or Jesus or whoever else will be sad.

“Let’s celebrate the mythologized figure and ignore the moral philosophy ascribed to him, here are two months of trash to make you feel something warm and fuzzy.”

It gets old. Just call it the “Winter Festival” and the “Spring Festival”.

And then there’s the 4th of July. 🙄🫩

I’m from the US. For many of us, native-born and not, American holidays feel cold and hollow, with the generalized atomization/alienation from community in our society, the hard-to-ignore religious hypocrisy (darkening Christmas and Easter), and the over-commercialization.

Worth noting that "I don't care, I'll keep stealing from them", is this asshole's reaction to authors discussing poverty and burnout due to relentless theft of their IP, which often takes them months of work to produce and may translate to pennies' income per day of labor.

Hell's too good.
For your blocking consideration, asshole "protech leftist" @dylanschenker.com, who apparently doesn't understand the difference between "free" and "stolen goods", and who, being a PhD student, also happens not to be aware of the existence of libraries, sales, or "stuff your ereader" promotions.
