When you’re in front of the MAGA firing squad, take comfort before your last breath that you’re not a “TANKIE.”
Brilliant observation. Everyone says to “be better,” but forgets that applies to themselves.
I got you. Capitalist markets require competition. Competition breeds inequality among individuals. Individuals get angry others get more ( money, attention, fame, power). Conservatives want to secure their status in society (hierarchy), and resort to authoritarianism to do it.
Don’t be afraid to learn about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
Don’t be afraid to learn what a euphemism is.
Misery loves company

MRW when @univeralmonk was right
It’s not accelerationism if it’s happening anyway.
Can’t negotiate peace if there’s no one to negotiate
Mis/under -education (propaganda), lies through omission. Once the realization occurs, it’s a choice to live in denial and ignore it.
Thought it was this guy:
Helpful, thanks.
Good movie.
That’s really cool
Reminds me of the intro to Patrick Bateman:
I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st Street, on the 11th floor.
My name is Patrick Bateman.
I’m 27 years old.
I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.
In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches.
I can do a thousand now.
After I remove the icepack, I use a deep-pore cleanser lotion.
In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser.
Then a honey-almond bodyscrub.
And on the face, an exfoliating gel-scrub.
Then I apply an herb mint facial masque,
which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.
I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol,
because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older.
Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman.
Some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me.
Only an entity-- something illusory.
And though I can hide my cold gaze…
and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours…
and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable,
I simply am not there.
Thanks for this.
I didn’t realize Trump is a Tankie. You’re so off base, you’re not even in the game. You’re fighting the wrong battle, at the wrong time.
