Fascism

Fascism is a cult of the leader, who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by ethnic or religious minorities, liberals, feminists, immigrants, and homosexuals. The fascist leader claims the nation has been humiliated and its masculinity threatened by these forces. It must regain its former glory and often its former territory with

The judge is the tree hiding the forest

Blaming the judge in the Rittenhouse case is yet another trick to distract people away from the real problem: a criminal system built to allow brazen crimes proudly committed to go unpunished, when committed by a certain type of person. It’s true that the judge did everything by the book because that’s what you do

They said “No no no”

Every boomer: Have you seen your rent?! You should buy! Next boomer: Yeah! Paying back a mortgage will be much cheaper. Boomer at the back: I agree. You’re being daft not to invest properly. Boomer at the bank: A loan?! Fuck you! I’m renting.

The US and UK alike are still stuck in an immediate post WWII world and their policy is dictated by what they supposedly achieved: They built enduring democracies in Japan and

Democracy begins and ends with you.

Why should political parties listen to people who refuse to vote in the first place? This is an exercise in futility. Democratic governments are made to listen to what voters say, if you choose to not speak, it’s your loss. Stop expecting strangers to behave as selflessly as your parents.
