  1. Incorrect. They COULD HAVE. But they didn't. And that cultural difference is our last, best hope (slim/tiny as it may be). Their culture and upbringing is one of strict obedience to rules, in many cases at the expense of independent thought. Our culture, on the other hand, has a healthy dose of "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me." That individualism and anti-authority streak can and has been used for evil (it's been used by this regime and its movement to absolutely kill all empathy, sense of community, acting in the interest of the common good, etc.). BUT....the opposition also has that streak in them, and it stands AGAINST authority hurting people and acting like nazi jackboots (fucking hell, they aren't acting LIKE that, they ARE that). Our cultural, internal sense of defiance is the only thing we have left. We must use it. Everywhere, at every opportunity.
  2. Again, for the millionth time....they are not hiding it. We have adopted functionally every slogan, ethos, and approach of THE GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING NAZIS. Not "well, it's kinda close, if you look at it funny" -- no, fucking spot-on shit. The regime in place is an evil, nazi regime. They must be removed from power. Now.
  3. Found a new angle of the authorities taking action against a woman who was not obeying their orders. Seriously, if you need something to carry in a protest, just caption this "ICE, SHOOTING A WOMAN WHO DIDN'T OBEY THEM (original image, 1943)"
  4. I gotta tell ya.....little moments like that are literally the only thing that gives me even a scintilla of hope. People banding together, acting with audacity and courage, in the face of evil.....it's literally the only chance we've got.
  5. Sounds to me like Jung was out on the ledge. Fucking hell. As I have mentioned before, my slow, contemplative walk and examination through the German History Museum in Berlin in 2018 or so, where the Germans frankly and honestly tell the story not just of what happened, but how it happened, was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I mean, I knew the story. I'd read a lot, in depth, about the rise of the Nazis, and how all the horrors unfolded step-by-step. But there was something about seeing and reading that story told by the culture that perpetrated it, by a culture that in its effort at contrition rightly understood that unvarnished honesty and self-reflection was the only way forward.....that literally made me shake. No exaggeration. Walked out kinda like this: My wife and kids had finished before I did. They were sitting on a bench outside, under the beautiful summer sky on Unter den Linden. All of them were looking forward like this: We are doing it. Fuck, we're almost done with the "doing it" part. There can be no reading or understanding of previous rounds of brutal, violent, and deadly fascism that does NOT reveal "oh yeah fuck....that's fucking exactly what the fuck is happening in the US right now, this fucking second." To conclude otherwise is willful ignorance, outright lies, or both. We should stop. Right now. But we won't. We will not stop until after we get some of this, and more of it than you can imagine: That is where it goes. That is how it ends. It always is. Without fail or exception. Lots of people are going to die. The only questions remaining are how many, and from which "sides."
  6. Oh. There was DEFINITELY a plan:
  7. Seems y'all are getting it now. Yes. We are. That's the point. Opposition to and/or criticism of the fuehrer was a crime. It will be again, and right soon. This is what the clergy are called to do. They were called to do it before. Some answered the call. Some paid a high price. My wife and I actually had the following conversation with our children while they were home: 1) They are to preserve themselves. If that means staying abroad, seeking asylum, renouncing their citizenship....do it. 2) My wife and I have lived full lives. We will not seek out violence. We will not put ourselves in harm's way for stupid reasons/no good reason. But if we are to die standing and fighting, then so be it. Seriously. This was the first conversation we had with them where we were very frank: we may not live through this. We'd like to live, very much so. But we cannot, and will not, live as collaborators. My wife took ordination vows. I took an oath to support the Constitution. We will live those promises. We fear that many Americans are going to find themselves put to the test in the coming days and months (we don't have years, people....this is going to all go down rather quickly). I don't know how we will all do. I don't know how my wife and I will do. But we find ourselves in nearly the exact moment that German people found themselves in 1933 or so. We can learn from that lesson. Either way, there is pain and death coming. The only question is how much, and will the people act sufficiently to cut it short?

    Corect. Let's be clear on the rigid moral standards of modern American "police": put your gun in someone's face and pull the trigger = a-ok, get a medal put your tits in the face of consenting adults = unacceptable, must be fired Gotta tell you, I think we'd have a much happier society with more titties, and fewer cop bullets.
  9. Correct. Truly, your only and best hope is that their overreach becomes so extreme, that in the orgy of violence and bloodshed that follows, some of them are collateral damage. But rest assured, the vast majority of the dead will be ordinary people.
  10. This. Just stop. They’re evil. They’ve chosen evil. On purpose. That’s why this country is beyond saving, and it’s why our future is bloodshed and death. “I don’t mean you” is not just not a defense to supporting cruelty, it’s a lie. It’s a rot to the core. The only way to ever get past that much rot is for the whole forest to burn. They chose this. And I will forever hate them for it. They took an amazing country, and burned it down. For no good reason.
  11. His death will be one of the most positive developments in world history. He’s removed all doubt. He’s just flat-out evil.
  12. He’s the owner and operator of a platform that knowingly generated CSAM for profit. A state AG somewhere that isn’t enslaved by MAGA idiocy needs to charge him tomorrow.
  13. Kinda this. But also realize that many of the ways that AI “is gonna change the world” are really, really bad. If it works out to be even 10% of what’s promised, it will be both a job killer and a human killer (autonomous drones are already here, and it will only get worse). Any massive technology change driven by people who aren’t just amoral, but actively malevolent and evil, will not go well for us.
  14. Good on ya. Folks need encyclopedias, and you’re just the guy to let em know that Britannica is best.
  15. We need them to start killing elected officials. It’s coming, and right soon.
