You’ve probably already gone through a night by now but I found that after getting pain and/or tingles in my lower back from doing double heavy shifts in my internship, putting an extra pillow either under the arch of my back, or between my knees if sleeping on my side, did a lot to make it hurt less both while trying to sleep and when waking up.

The public view is essentially that any of the terms for this is basically a stamp that either says these people should be put down ASAP, or if you are liberal minded, it says that they should be locked in a secure facility until non-direct causes kills them.

I would say it’s probably not very good to spread the idea of basically ontologically harmful people roaming amongst us.

Imagining a guy who finds a back route into veganism purely by interpreting the refrigeration in grocery stores as cold spots from farm animals endlessly haunting the place.

Finishing up Blowback S5 I’m really struck by how borderline criminally bad the common education is on what the Khmer Rouge ideology was actually based in and how the motives for the genocide was a sort of ethnic renaissance combining clearing foreign influence from the Khmer people with revolutionary ideals grabbed from various places, with the latter part being vague due to not progressing out of the “clearing” stage, so to speak.

Also how underexplained the simmering nationalist resentments between Cambodia and Vietnam are, as well as the dynamic between the communist movements of each fueling the conflict. And I don’t mean criminal just because the popularly propagated view is anticommunist, but obscuring how historical events and tendencies developed towards genocide should be criminal within any publicly admissible worldview.

But it is of course most convenient to frame it all as leftist infighting and natural d*generation of revolutions.

Sriracha mayo for the peons and “dijonnaise” for the booug

It’s easy to agree in principle, but various traditions as well as the logic of the system of capitalism weigh extremely heavily on us, so intergenerational abuse like this keeps surviving if left alone.

I think sriracha is supposed to be cringe now, sorry.

There was obviously attempts internally as well as the fundamental splits of the PRC and Albania from the USSR on the matter, and the split of the general international movement.

But ultimately you can’t just bully the men with power out of power, and the resistance from the people was scattered and able to be dealt with individually in turn, and there were plenty of opportunists prepared to take positions with Khruschev for personal gain or perceived stability.

Criminals and crooks usually find any large scale attention unwanted.

Green bell pepper in chili gang.

I’m pretty sure he has already done like two “4k remasters” where he just took whatever the latest blu-ray was then upscaled and denoised/grained it with AI so it looks like dogshit.

Alright Officer, apologies for questioning your expertise and experience in threat management.

Kamala Harris is committing genocide.

But we’re not arguing about homicide by magic spell here, this is a pretty specific and extremely spotlighted type of crime, the only reason to conjure coinflip percentages out of thin air is to entice specific sentiment, fascist sentiment in this case.

Crunch the numbers then big man, how more likely is far more likely here.

The massive assumption here being that by default they will do harm to you, this is true crime brain.

Just because it’s “not crazy” and based in some basic animal instinct doesn’t mean we have to entertain it or that it’s not something that extremely easily leads to reactionary violence.

We literally the slope this leads down in people gunning down strangers at the door bell or literally in the drive in just approaching the house.

Is this a potential eventuality you should be preparing for, though?

Is it a rational thing to fear based on evidence, or is it driven by reactionary fearmongering?

The identity politics angle must also be a part of it, I think.

Actual segregationist Joe Biden couldn’t really get away with betting on this kind of rhetoric, but Kamala being both non-white and a woman gets into the gray zone where she has plausible deniability of not just directly appealing to the vivid fantasies of legal murder demographic.

I’m not out of my mind for believing that this would have been unthinkable in the Hillary or even Biden era, right?

Like this is just blatant blood-guzzling NRA chud pandering that would be completely relegated to Clinton body count and Dark Brandon type shit.
