"I didn't start the fire but I plan to dance around it naked with pagans, leggings, and pan flutes" Hail Mary Mallon

  1. We have a frighteningly large population in this country for whom the Truth does not matter. For them truth is what their representatives (oppressors) tell them and they are told the truth is hatred. They have become slaves to hatred and its corrupted even their most basic mental functions.

  2. A Middle Eastern religion with a coat of white paint that claims to be loving and tolerant while actively working to destroy and hide the existence of any competing ideologies. One that has thought policing and commands obedience to caesar. It almost seems like it was designed for use by despots.

  3. Every authoritarian movement needs religious zealots, an unthinking horde who will commit atrocities in the name of some god. Machiavelli addresses this in The Prince, claim religion but dont actually practice the bits about kindness and humility. Not that American xians practice those bits anyhow.

  4. The goal here is to create a new narrative that either A. None of this ever happened so just move along or B. epstein acted completely alone and since he's dead it's time to move along. One way or another there is no record of anyone ever having had any contact with epstein in any capacity.

  5. Mike, you failed this country by refusing to stand up at a time when you could have done something. You could have led a revolt against trumpism from within instead you bowed to the mob and will forever be branded a coward and a traitor. Sit down.

  6. Whenever I feel too tired/scared to keep resisting, I ask myself how will my actions look after the fall of the regime. Can I live honestly with myself knowing that I did good or will I live forever with shame for being apathetic or complicit with the powers of evil. It makes the answer easier.

  7. All active police need to be investigated for domestic abuse, child abuse, and sexual abuse. We can keep the handful that will pass the bar and start fresh with officers who are there to support their communities not to take their homicidal insecurity to the streets.
