  • Basically it’s been demonstrated writ large that our governing body doesn’t have any actual teeth or intent to hold themselves accountable to the law. There are laws against this shit. It isn’t some milquetoast thing that needs to go through litigation. Putting this type of shit on government websites is explicitly illegal due to the Hatch Act.

    But the imcompetence of our government is the point. They want everyone to give up on the federal government so that corporations have no watchdogs against their bullshit. You already see everyone calling for (but not taking any concrete action towards) revolution, rather than looking for ways to fix up what we have/had.

    On top of that, somehow the majority of Americans have completely forgotten the art of effective non-violent protesting, the sheer amount of work and coordination needed for a successful movement, the work of managing the public face of a resistance movement, and being prepared to have the absolute shit beat out of you for a cause. I can only speculate that it’s due to long term manipulation of media and history curriculum.

    The 60s weren’t so long ago that all of this knowledge should have been so entirely lost.

    bestie, it is time to get tested

    You’re going to get me thrown out of church for cackling.

    There’s plenty of arguments for emotional dysregulation, forgetting what was going on, and impulsiveness.

    “SHOW YOUR DEVOTION TO ME! KILL YOUR SON! Wait. Wait. Wait! Shit I changed my mind”

    “Those bastards are using my temple as a market? I’m so angry I’ll… I’ll… whip you with my shoe leather! Fuckers!”

    When the baby is that small, it’s the perfect time to do stuff like this. You have to be “on call” if they need you, but they spend 90% of the time sleeping. So just hold them or have them strapped to you and do your thing!

    I got caught up on so many shows during the first few days when my daughter was still nocturnal, and I know my wife beat a few games she had on the back burner.
