Individualism/capitalism/patriarchy invokes a worldview of superiority and inferiority: there must be winners and losers in zero sum games
If our fight is individual superiority, we will always strive to make others ‘inferior’ to ourselves: a prisoner’s dilemma where we all lose
Jan 6, 2021: DJT incites civilians to attack federal officers at the US Capitol
Jan 7, 2026: DJT incites federal officers to kill a US civilian
I don’t know if this is something that has come full circle or not, all I can say is #sixseven #67
There’s a difference between a friend who is looking out for you and holds you back from doing stupid sh*t and an enabling accomplice who really just wants to egg you on in the service of their own egotism and entertainment.
The thing that we are trying to describe when we talk about “intelligence” is the ability to construct knowledge de novo by thinking (inferential as opposed to acquisitive or experiential learning). The main limitation or obstacle for such intelligence is fear and shame.
@rafayahud@stautistic@dom_lucre The Tanach (Old Testament) has some fascinating stories about how the Hebrew people enslaved and slew people as they traveled from North Africa to the region now called Israel. Lots of YHWH’s command to kill or enslave local residents as less human than the invading Chosen People
@BernieSanders have you considered running in 2024 as a Republican?
Regardless of the election outcome, I think FOX viewers would benefit from hearing your perspective on both domestic and foreign policy in on-stage debates. Not even considering the effect on RNC constituency

@rafayahud@stautistic@dom_lucre Thing about supremacy groups is that it’s both hard to join AND they still have no respect for human life outside of their group. They may not say “join or die” but they still aren’t ever going to invest in coexistence—people commit genocide when they don’t see others as people
BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with a brutal Friday bombshell as lawyers from the prominent conservative Federalist Society publish a paper declaring that Trump MUST be banned from running for president “under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.”
But it gets WAY worse for Trump…
In their brutal paper, the Federalist Society accuses Trump of treason for “engaging in or gave aid and comfort to an insurrection against the constitutional government” when he incited the deadly January 6 insurrection as part of his failed coup attempt.
Adding insult to injury for Trump, the Federalist Society argues that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — known as the insurrection clause — is "self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. It covers a broad range of former offices, including the presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.”
The clause states that "no person shall be a senator or representative in Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
Last September, a New Mexico judge ordered the removal of a county commissioner who took part in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The decision marked the first time since 1869 that a court disqualified a public official under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Now, it appears that it may be used against Trump — the mastermind who orchestrated the insurrection.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be banned from running for office ever again — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A

REAL PEOPLE CANT QUEERBAIT YOU! It’s a term used in media literacy. No actual person owes you any clarification on their sexuality. PERIOD.
I will not support any candidate who’s platform mostly consists of saying “don’t let the other guy win.” If you can’t prove you’re actually better because of your platform policies, it’s unlikely you’re actually going to make things better than “the other guy.”
Apparently we’re at the point where a corporation will sell physical products (transfer ownership) and then ransomware people to use what they own. Curious to see if any courts decide that this extortion by a manufacturer is too unclear to be illegal https://t.co/caiuGAXMfZ
It’s odd to see conservatives celebrating the Supreme Court reversing a constitutional right to bodily autonomy and handing medical decision making to state politicians. Little to stop universal mandated organ donation or vaccination because such measures protect vulnerable lives
@ButNotTheCity I don’t know the topic so this may be off—something along the lines of: If interventions must do no or minimal harm, and that which is not forbidden is allowed; it must be justifiably proven that a person’s free expression causes harm before such free expression can be forbidden
Have had some really intense shoulder/neck pain the last couple days along with my usual lower back pain—I woke up in agony to the extent I was trying anything I could think of to help my shoulders and back relax. I found a posture and have an idea for a product.
