I’m gonna be real, the Epstein stuff was fun but I think the gestappo going to a purple state and the healthcare premiums are really what is driving Trump’s apocalyptic numbers

Homegirl’s right. The Empire is Bad but it is worse when it also beats up people at home.
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

Really have come around on brutalism, just instinctively say, “But that’s so pretty!” whenever someone throws up a brutalist building to mock.

If you are a pastor or priest and not willing to suffer prison or worse for your congregation you should find a different line of work.

But also maybe they should ruin his life?
A guy asking Epstein for advice on how to sexually harass a junior colleague knows exactly what Epstein was and was clearly OK with it. I am frankly OK with someone ruining his life.
Evidently it ought to have happened decades ago.

Gonna write a book called “Moral Society, Immoral Man” that’s about how democratic deliberation and impersonal law allow people to engage in mass ethical projects which would be impossible on a voluntary basis.

Freedom as non-domination explains this. By moving people from being at the mercy of other people into being operating within the law, we actually do free them from domination.
Look it's weird to say "the city is liberation. Bigness is liberation. Bureaucracy is liberation." But it so often is. The village is inherently tyrannical. Sherly Jackson knew this.
If you all want an actual Most Woke Opinion, it’s that romanticizing backwater patriarchs who only have themselves to blame for their ills is a betrayal of every battered housewife, lynched minority, and queer kid cowering in the closet.

There’s not a solitary soul on Bluesky who would vote for MTG in a general election, what are we arguing about? It’s good when Republicans fight on national television. We should encourage them to do so.

You know nothing is happening in the news when Bluesky decides it is time to argue about prison abolition.
Bro we are closer to full open borders. We are closer to the dictatorship of the proletariat. We are closer to major transnational economic redistribution. Prison abolition isn’t happening!

We cannot be post-liberal because we are not yet liberal. We haven’t harvested the wide field of liberty our forebears sowed. But we will. The thugs and tyrants have been fighting their rearguard action for two hundred and fifty years and they’ve been losing inch by inch.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
