Let me know when it hits zero.

It’s hard to eviscerate someone with a plan. I’m going for “sodomized.”

Dammit, why’d you have to mention that at the end?

Because it’s too verbose to call it “totalitarian state capitalism masquerading as socialism”?

At least Nero knew how to play the fiddle. Anyway, he probably got a bum rap.

Trump is not just incompetent, he’s also malicious and wilfully destructive.

Just call it genocide, that’s what it is.

He removed all doubt that he’s Putin’s stooge. Never mind the war.

He’s deliberately causing a crash so billionaires can buy everything up at a dime to the dollar.

I grew up in the LA suburbs in the 60s and 70s. I lived in a barrio. My neighbors were constantly getting harassed by the police.

I worked as a consultant for a long time. I learned that anyone who starts a question with “Why don’t we just…” generally doesn’t understand the problem.

That would make sense if corporate bureaucracy was not bureaucracy. But it is.

I don’t care if the company collapsed at this point.

I care. I want it to collapse, leading to a debt cascade that wipes out all the rest of Musk’s holdings. Then I want Musk’s world to collapse on him.

Good start.

In that case, every stack that you use is riddled with those and we are all hosed. And yet somehow your computer, your phone and the internet keep on working most of the time.

No, he really does not, not in any way. Or if he does, he doesn’t care. He’s a soulless, power-mad sociopath, with no more human feeling than a cockroach has.

He’s not going to miss an opportunity to play the victim.

If Vancey-pants went on home and self-immolated, the kid would be better off in the long run.

You know the penalty for sabotage in wartime?

So to protect critical infrastructure, when someone says “I’m from DOGE,” the correct reply is “Off you fuck.”

A people’s justice system can be put together quickly, and can render summary judgements faster than the existing one. If the courts can’t or won’t clean up their act, we’ll have to do it for them.

And that’s the problem. If everyone replied “fuck you, no” when ordered to jump, MAGA would be powerless. It’s obedience that empowers them. Resist at every step, force them to expend all their effort on small victories. There are more of us than them and we can grind them down. They’re soft.
