Johnson serves at Democrats' pleasure. Johnson's statements at Trump's trial were despicable. More than anything, this was a statement from the Speaker that heโ€™s willing to steal the election for Trump, and Democrats should say, โ€œThen youโ€™re out.โ€

I honestly don't understand the anti vax movement. My cynical mind is thinking some group must have something to gain from convincing people to harm themselves and others, but I can't find any logical upside for anyone.

Is it simply to watch the world burn? Is it to discredit medical expertise in general? Or is it some stubborn misplaced sense of independence? Surely it can't simply be to thumb their noses at the "Woke"?

Pathological contrarianism like this is a personality defect, conditioned behavior, or the result of unprocessed issues related to a childhood fear of syringes.

Theyโ€™ve been conditioned to be terrified of the people they are supposed to serve and protect, since the academy.

This is how they work out the trauma that the state put them through.

I forget where I read that revolutions tend to occur in the spring/summer because that is when state policy reveals failures at the time of harvest, thereโ€™s not enough food, and people lash out at the their rulers.

Itโ€™s mid-May.

Iโ€™m just saying.

I donโ€™t even know if itโ€™s true that the #BDS movement is against the existence of #Israel.

I donโ€™t know for sure, but I get the sense that there is a lot of people who have taken zero-sum positions that involve the annihilation of The Othersโ„ข https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/15/sonoma-state-president-leave-gaza-00158285

Some jackhole in the bar played that Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow duet song on the jukebox and Sheryl Crow seems to be a fairly decent person so it probably has to suck that you are now emblazoned digitally through all time singing dulcet poetry to a greasy kitchen mop in a hat who went on to become one of America's most strident publicly-declared neo-Nazis.

Ah, yeah, he only cares about Jewish people in Israel who can vote for him.

The rest can fuck off and die, as far as he and the Kahanists - and evangelicals - are concerned.

There's some diaspora on Vancouver Island (and several other places in Global North) who have severe , to the point that they're not just into & capitalism but they're so self unaware of internalized racism that they don't even know when racist white folks them to defend/justify racism & use them to push WS beliefs on their own peoples.

I lose my fu*king shit around Asians like this. They harm us Asians who fight for human rights.

This is usually people who think the concept of was a feature, not a bug of the messy system they are in.

They view themselves as the feature.
