it interests me that transfags commonly get hit with the ‘straight girl living out her sexual fantasy of being a gay man’ attack line. it’s like the only time transphobes openly think of trans guys as horny evil deviants with agency, rather than wounded passive cult victims
after 9-11 the fbi spent a lot of resources trying to find isolated muslim kids and talking them into doing terrorism. something for trans people to remember going forward.
A piece of actual news: Netanyahu got such a panic attack because of that now world-famous kiss that he decided to not honor the deal and withhold today's release of Palestinian captives. He's saying he won't continue with the deal till he's guaranteed Hamas will discontinue their farewell ceremonies.
This is very Israeli (violence and attempted domination, always) and very stupid because Hamas can film this, or something similar, before the delivery. And anyway, this is fighting yesterday's war: the whole world witnessed today's images, and no one is going to forget them. It is included in the memory book of the genocide forever.
Still, we can appreciate the fragility and paranoia.
If they’re going to keep following the script, the next steps are the Reichstag Fire and the Enabling Act.
Now, if they *wanted* a shock event, like terrorism, or a pandemic, or a nuclear accident they could use to declare martial law and seize total power what would they do?
Would they dismantle parts of the government devoted to preventing foreign interference? Would they put a psychopathic Kremlin stooge in charge of the FBI? Would they destroy the disease control infrastructure of the United States, and shut down communications to the public? Would they put the brainworm, pro-polio guy in charge of HHS? Would they put Peter Thiel’s herd immunity guy at NIH? Would they “accidentally” fire people overseeing nukes? Would they fire hundreds of FAA workers after three plane crashes?
This is not “incompetence.” Look around.
They are setting us up for mass death.
It is time to think out of the box. 🇺🇸🏴☠️
Many have used libgen to download books illegally. Recently libgen had been taken down, and I feel so relieved that people are not committing any crimes just because they want to read.
I want to create awareness that we should not use such websites ( cont.)
The two main lessons from Hungary’s collapse into authoritarianism appear to be:
DO NOT WAIT
DO NOT UNDERREACT
Authoritarians like Orban and Trump rely on opposition being unwilling to believe that what is happening is actually happening. That’s their window.
