"Anti-woke is just another way of saying white supremacy." P. Z. Myers Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the governor of Arkansas now

There are not enough living beings on planet Earth to create "herd immunity." Rest assured, the uber-wealthy 10% are fully immunized against COVID-19, including booster shots. Per their capitalist conservative worldview, they fully expect the remaining 90% (you and me) to die of COVID. Those of the 90% who survive will become slaves.

 For Conservatives, the question, What is a woman?  is a "gotcha" question. To conservatives, the correct answer is, "A woman  is a person born without a penis. I'm seeing strange arguments about slavery being practiced by non-whites, so this (somehow) hand-waves whites off the hook for importing (and then later smuggling) boatload after boatload of slaves to the Americas for the benefit of white slave-owners: "Oh, everyone was practicing slavery." Rule #1: Slavery  is evil. Rule #2: When in doubt, refer to Rule #1. The fact slavery is near-universal is one of the major failings of our civilization. The prevalence of slavery does not excuse the practice of slavery. How bizarre that conservatives emphasize individual responsibility;  unless it comes to issues of race,  whereupon it's all collective responsibility.

Oh, yes, attacking pronouns is such a "gotcha"--our corporate 1% overlords don't want us 99% to have an identify, just a payroll ID number (and perhaps not even that). Our Constitution was DESIGNED to prevent tyranny and punish wannabe dictators and traitors. We must have the rule of law. Always (morbidly) fascinating how corporate feudalism aligns perfectly with right-wing fascism. D. Trump (justly) trashed on Twitter > E. Musk (faux-)outrage buys out Twitter > Restores TFG MAGAts to platform > TFG twitters into WH > TFG makes Tesla cars USGOV vehicles > TFG bails out Hyperlink. Not hard to figure out. We often think the problem is Conservative political philosophy being tarnished/subverted by rude, arrogant, wealthy assholes. IMO Conservative political philosophy nourishes rude, arrogant, wealthy assholes, always rewarding the worst of humanity throughout history. Interesting how I've had to block M. T. Green twice now on Twitter. BTW should M. T. Gre...

 

When voting on the proposed NECEC corridor project, we need to ask simple questions:  How does CMP stand to profit from this project?  What if the profits don't go to Central Maine Power, but to its parent companies?  Suppose all the earnings go upwards, never to come back down:  How will CMP continue to maintain the NECEC corridor?  The burden of maintaining the NECEC corridor won't be absorbed by CMP—nor its parent corporations.  It will be transferred directly to the people of Maine, be it increasing the delivery fee, or raising the kilowatt hourly rates.  And what if there is a natural disaster, such as ice storms or wind storms, that damage the towers and high-tension lines; who will then pay for the repairs?  Again, the people of Maine.  We don't need this unwanted burden imposed on us with no hope of benefit.  Vote to ban the NECEC corridor.

Texas slut-shaming anti-choice law is a "castle defense" for the male penis; so people equipped with a phallus can kill people equipped with a uterus, and all else is window-dressing. 

 Why does living in the past always seem to involve guns firing, uniforms sparkling, foxholes manned, tanks rumbling past, military jets screaming overhead, huge factories churning, gigantic dams rushing water, limousine cars pulling up, and vast steam railroads chugging-chugging-chugging? All of this built/made by white people, with not a single non-white in sight, except to passively enjoy the benefits of being with white people? The history of our past—everyone's past—is always rewritten. So the justifications for this historical revisionism are also in a constant state of rewrite to shore up and prop up the vast overarching conspiracy, the mythology, the Adam Smith collection of fairy tales, that all of our nation's greatness, our social progress, our cultural wealth was made by lily-white hands—only these hands, mouths, feet and brains belonging to white males with wives and children. Children raised to carry on this delusion, maintain and violently defend the lie. For wit...
