@davetroy Please call them crypto-propertarians, as they are not anarcho-anything and only “libertarian” also from the latest bastardized ahistorical front.
Thursday thoughts:
1. Peter Thiel is trying to create a global currency and overpower governments.
2. He and Musk know that they can't win elections, because they are a tiny minority.
3. They believe they can use technology as an "alternative" to politics.
4. Everyone on the laughable "Crypto4Harris" call last night is a fool, and complicit.
5. Democrats and the public in general need to get educated about what they're dealing with.
6. This effort is part of a historical anarcho-libertarian, tax-revolt minority that has captured the Trump and RFK networks, and is working on capturing Harris, too.
7. There is no workable middle ground, no room for compromise; give no comfort, no quarter, no oxygen, no fuel.
Contact your representatives and let them know what's at stake. People are naive about this right now, but this is all anyone is going to be talking about in a few months if we let this fester and continue. Onward!
I just wish there was a better way to articulate things. Dems aren’t innocent either or should be arbiters of normality. It feels kinda nerdy but w/e. We’ll see how much it actually impacts things positively or to anyone’s detriment. IG “having a normal one” has already existed.
Yeah like it’s not just “weird”…“weird” can be good. Fascists are maliciously odd and sadistically creepy, but if you say that, then it’s too harsh or has less impact? Just “weird” is too nice/vague and misdirects in the name of “normalcy”which should always be questioned. Idk.
@rebeccanagle Where can one get some of those kinds of glasses? I also have pretty bad on/off light sensitivities and have been wanting some in these style pretty badly on bad days…
@GrimKim Try RocketLanguage and/or Rosetta Stone! They go on sale all the time with lifetime subscriptions and are way better in different ways (RL structurally and RS visually).
Rep. Nadler: "The resolution states that all anti-Zionism is antisemitism. That's intellectually disingenuous or factually wrong…The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was + is expressly not antisemitic."
annual reminder i like to journal on letterboxd and that is prob the only social media i use consistently besides (sorta) this— movies are accessible and fun~! 🍿😇

twitter is like a club yr friends won’t stop going to where the drinks and service are passable at best, but everyone is all there and won’t leave even though it’s unsafe, the bouncers are not on yr side, and the owners are xenophobic assholes that ruin the surrounding community
all this to say, unfortunately u gotta meet ppl where they’re at and ppl don’t feel like they can go elsewhere for some reason… i don’t think something like bsky or mastodon will pick up until the invite codes go away and intuitive ux makes it simple enough for children
