My fav thing about the neo-lion running some seemingly everlasting conglomerate of the spectrally spiritual on earth is that he tweeted almost nothing in the last year, but the few times he did tweet were to point out the theological perversions of the vice-scourge and the evils of the OG scourge.

Perhaps to defeat fascism yet again necessitates stepping outside of the constituted Laws of democracy, which fascism perverts to install itself.
This is a reminder of the paradoxical rub that all constitutive formations of a socius are orginarily violent in their instantiation. (cf. Benjamin)

Astronomers Detect a Signature of Life on a Distant Planet
Further studies are needed to determine whether K2-18b, which orbits a star 120 light-years away, is inhabited, or even habitable.

Just as misanthropy is my preferred affective response to the social in general, indifferent disdain is the equivalent regarding the political in particular.
At least that's how I try to fool myself on this morning.

The scourge clown and his troop of farcical fascists remind me of the seductive allure of misanthropy -- the absolute inconvenience of other people, to tweak Berlant's titular phrase just a bit.

Perhaps only when Mammon ceases to be worshipped in prostrate abjection can there be true resistance to the scourge of oligarchs and their destruction of any and all commons.

The politico-sociopathic drive of the republikkkult and its scourge is manifesting not merely as the legitimated violence of hate but as a generalized aim at the genocide of different others.
This demands all those in resistance to respond to them as the enemy they have revealed themselves to be.

Will the next executive order be to command the stock market to go up? Such a vain effort would be as useless and as fragile as the sharpie-penned, narcissistically-gigantic signature of the hollow scourge.

Whatever the scourge's prevaricating lips manage to semi-articulate, the opposite is most likely what is the real truth.

The silver lining to the shitshow of the scourge may be the erasure of any notion of the U.S. as exceptional, at least in any good way. Though now we may be best at the hatred that inheres with the greed of capitalism, well on our way to being the worst of humanity. Congratulations republikkkult.

At this point the world would likely fare better without this exceptional nation of pseudo-democracy and all other life on Earth would without a doubt be better off without humans.
In other words, happy VD.

How soon before the scourge issues an order deputizing his deplorables to arrest immigrants and to hunt down trans folk? It's already an implicit command from his vitriolic blathering.
The scourge is incarnated evil -- one hollow corpus that is a crime against humanity.

Republikkkult politics is regressing not to the middle of the last century but more so to the Middle Ages, though now marked by the absolute absence of any shred of honor or goodwill. The few cherished ideals perduring over those long centuries are absent in the scourge and his deplorable enablers.
