Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru.)

  • the scenario that was prophesied by “radical leftists” at the advent of agencies like Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE, following the passage of the Patriot Act by a bipartisan coalition during the War on Terror.

    Can confirm.

    I was there, and I remember sitting out the anthem in protest at the fall game between Mizzou and Texas in 2001. I knew where this was going. I'm sure many did, but most didn't give a shit, and with each escalation by Dubya, Obama, Donald I, and Biden, excuses were made for clear fascist policies. I have no doubt that many, many more people are being murdered in secret as a result of US immigration policy right now than we know, given that so much of the atrocities are being committed behind closed doors.

    I did vote Biden in 2020, and while I did so expecting no real change, I thought a cultural backlash against Donald would be beneficial for the US. Clearly, I was incorrect on that. Generally though, I vote Green, as Democrats don't differentiate themselves enough from Republicans to be any real alternative, which has been made abundantly clear with their 'sternly-worded letters' and performative government shutdowns this year.

  • It's important to note first that Democrats joined with Republicans to pass this atrocity in the House, so if you're one of those hopefuls who thinks that the potential of flipping the House and Senate in 2026 is going to herald major change, it may be good to temper your expectations.

    Secondly, does anyone honestly think Senate Democrats are going to do anything meaningful even if they do (performatively) force a partial shutdown?

  • I am glad racist Christian Joel Young picked a congressman to do this to. It's a lot harder to bury a story like this when the victim is a federal legislator.

    Let's hope this ends up becoming the first thing people see when they look up racist Christian's name after a job interview.

  • I relate to this somewhat.

    I discovered in junior high that the so-called 'freaks' were way nicer people than the other cliques, and I loved their fierce independence. Ended up making friends and sticking with them, even though most were ostracized socially.

    I hope they've all gotten to live good lives.

  • You don't necessarily have to use the word 'socialism' to support socialist policies, so that could work.

    And yes, while there are smaller platforms like Peertube, they're just not widely used.

  • Those are the people you are going to have to stand with to stop this. Get used to it.

  • The ones that come to my mind are:

    • Donate to socialist groups and causes, especially ones based in your local community. (Food banks, libraries, arts organizations, community legal funds, or individual mutual aid requests.)
    • You can phone bank for socialist politicians in order to help them get elected. You don't have to be a local to do this. I recommend Kat Abughazaleh.
    • If you have a skill that can be used remotely from within the home, consider volunteering it to socialist organizations.
    • You can create socialist content, but understand that your stuff is going to be algorithmically-repressed to some degree on any corporate-owned social media.
  • On the plus side, we have so, so many billionaires. Like a few thousand.

    So, worth it?

  • This is correct.

    They are criminalizing as many people as possible.

  • I'm sure it made him feel like a big, big boy. Especially considering he was also a romantic failure.

  • The French don't get enough credit for how badass they are. (At least here in America, where people don't read enough history and learn out of propagandized textbooks for the most part.)

  • Oh yeah. That motherfucker had a whole crowd around him. Awful.

  • In theory, they do.

    Walz appears content to just write sternly-worded social media posts a'la Chuck Schumer.

  • There will be people who do not forget and are not content to let them live in peace.

  • Yeah, most of them never relented. They simply did their best to assimilate back into normal life. Most absolved their consciences by convincing themselves what they'd done was an acceptable part of fighting a war.

    Still, whether it was through Nazi hunters, prosecutions, or family testimonies... their names live on in infamy.

  • For now.

  • If it makes you all feel any better, the nazi with the gun didn't survive the war. Also, his hometown covered his name on a war memorial with a QR code so people would know what he'd done and he'd get proper credit for his monstrous acts.

  • That's what the video makes clear, yes.

  • Also I'm making it a point to help small accounts where I can this year, so if you reply to this with your channel, I'll go throw you some likes.

  • The conventional wisdom says that mid-day on weekdays is the best time to upload.
