  • The podcast “American Carnage” is a great journey if you don’t know anything about John Brown. They mention this sword in the podcast, it’s got a hollow compartment in it that contains liquid mercury. The mercury flows forward when it’s swung in a slash, changing the weight distribution of the blade to kill the enemies of abolition with greater prejudice. Based

    Edit: My only source for this was the podcast I mentioned, so take it with a grain of salt. I hope it’s true though. It’s such an interesting idea for a sword.


  • Yeah, I think dems don’t take equality seriously at all. The cultural equality stuff they parrot is to distract from the fact that they’ll never do anything to change the biggest inequality in the US, wealth and class. Even if it’d Freudian, in that they can point and say “see there? I want an equitable society” while ignoring the wealth inequality that is, statistically speaking, doing well for the college educated base they now encompass.

















  • In our healthcare system they’re talking about refusing non emergent treatment for people without insurance until they get Medicaid, which can apparently take a month. This would save about 20million, which is strikingly close to what Propublica reports the system pays in executive compensation. In other words, if the money is THAT important, we have a way to save that money without literally denying cancer care (time is a factor). But reduction in executive expenses isn’t on the table. Fuck these high earning sociopaths.
