Don’t be so obtuse. African studies and Foucault are not in the same orbit as hitler. It would be maybe notable if a public figure kept a copy of “Discipline and Punish” on their nightstand, would be sorta weird nightly reading and would be good evidence that this person is likely to be strongly influenced by or sympathizes with Foucault.

Reading once, studying in school, etc. are a world apart from reading often enough that you need to keep a copy that accessible.

Let’s also look at these specific people. Remind me how many folks Faucault had murdered?

Lastly, let’s look at the words and behavior of these people in context, not just judged by the words he read. I’ve read lots of nasty shit, but don’t act like a nasty shit. Tuenip has read hiter and now we have concentration camps, imprisoning and denying food to American Citizens.

Nuance is a thing.

It’s because he’s a child who was given access to firecrackers.

I just got off my flight to Mexico. I have no idea if I’m getting home. It wasn’t a dealbreaker for the trip…

I think all sports should have winning redefined as “everyone had a good time.”

My wuss bets would finally start paying off.

I know the news keeps saying they were going hard against the tariffs. I have zero doubt they will do anything but capitulate tonight him again; it’s why they are there.

My elderly, disabled, cancer stricken mother who lives on $1050 monthly social security has just lost her access to food.

Great country we have here. Fuck you to anyone who voted for this shit.

Why does someone always post my own thoughts before me in this community?

Of course he can’t. He knows that. This was 100% optics, so he can go down in history as the worlds first trillionaire. It doesn’t matter that it won’t happen, it did on paper, and that’s all these types care about. He can now brag and boast on his newfound success, and insanely, it will work (at least for a while).

I just absolutely love this comment, especially the dismissive bit at the end. Damn fine nerding my friend.

oh please, this is the republican version of an arranged marriage.

Here’s my conspiracy brain take. With turnips rapidly declining health, they know they need the next puppet to take his place. J.V. dunce is all they’ve got but his wife will never be accepted by the cult. So, this kirk shit happens and all of the sudden they have an already cult approved stepford wife, complete with a perfect sympathy story for cover (‘he was helping me with my grief and it just happened like it was meant to be from god!’).

If any of this happens, it just feels too cooked up, a desperate throw of the dice. But, I think the magats are just the right kind of stupid and evil for it to work.

This is all just insane ramblings of a bored nerd.

Palantir. The folks who were screaming about the Chinese social score are the same ones who paved the way for thiel’s american, for-profit version.

Already reflected on but

An armed minority is harder to oppress

The oppressors will always have better weapons. The best way to lose a fight is to be overconfident. A smart and organized minority is even harder to oppress.

In nearly 50 years I’ve never been anywhere else close to a knife fight, I’m also not a moron.

The situation I’m talking about is home defense and yes, I have dogs, I live in one of the safest areas of my state and I do have self defense plans if anything does happen. Guns are not part of that strategy because I have kids in the house, and despite them being trained, I still am not going to keep one around just so that I can ‘feel’ safer.

You do you, I’m not going to stop you, even if I were anti-gun, the ship sailed long before I was born in this country. So instead, since they are a reality in the US, let’s be smart about them and recognize that individual situations are different for each of us.

Yeah, I’m not anti-gun, I just follow the stats. Multiple children in the house and they are more clever than I am.

I’m still not willing to get one. I am statistically safer without one in the house. I do have a couple large dogs, I collect knives and I have collapsible batons stashed in key locations.

Maybe once the kids are out of the house.

What are you talking about, I’ll bet her brow furrows harder than ever. Thats a true consequence in these united states if I’ve ever heard one.

The problem is, masculinity has been turned into a performative art these days. To the culture obsessed with masculinity, you have to fall in line, wear the clothes, support the right people…. What they don’t get is that this is the least masculine behavior possible.

Seriously, look at the “masculine” types, they all are groomed, their trucks are all spotless, they go to work and sit in the same chairs as the rest of us; but think their fascist adjacent clothing makes them look tough. I see nothing but insecure manchildren.

a project 2029 agenda

Get the he fuck out of here with this bullshit. This is exactly the fucking problem with dems. They fail, so they just look for how to copy the last successful gop strategy.

We see through it you fucking morons, this is why your polling is in the toilet. Instead of supporting winning, successful candidates with resonating messaging, they form committees, and find the next one in line to support.

We’re so fucking cooked if this is what they are coming up with.
