This is an inoperable case of idealism.

Before I was born, it had already been determined that, while I am a simian, I’m neither an Old World monkey nor a New World monkey, but an ape.

For those with false consciousness, you often have to meet them where they are, because five-dollar words don’t get through to them.

What’s unfortunate is that the term will lose its punch over time as people forget this moment. Also that many see this as an anomaly rather than what it really is: a rare peek behind the curtain of how the sausage has always been made.

The “middle class” are the petit bourgeoisie. The “elite” are the haute bourgeoisie.

That’s a deep cut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vgoEhsJORU

It’s an unfathomably big ocean, and the heat would quickly dissipate via convection. If it has any appreciable effect at at, I think it would be very localized, to an area too small to be a cause for concern.

Just got think of how much rice is wasted in keeping the electronics dry.

I had a somewhat similar experience as a teen with shitty gaydar. Fortunately my closeted friend saw a therapist, and then he essentially “broke up” with me and told me to stay away from him because I was “toxic.” Which TBF was true in that unrequited love is toxic.

There are very “liberal” wealthy people who are just as much a part of the problem as the “conservative” wealthy people.

Yeah, because liberalism and conservatism are both right wing ideologies. The line between left and right is: who should own the means of production? Both liberals and conservatives want private ownership, while socialists want public ownership.

People feel all sorts of things, but often they’re not even really about me, so I often don’t take it personally.

And there’s your problem.

They’ve convinced you that Democrat® and Republican® are on opposite sides of the political spectrum when they’re actually on the same side. They’re both right-wing parties. There is no left side to speak of in the US.

Rights aren’t real. They’re granted by the collective.

They’re not granted by the collective in capitalist states, though. They’re granted by the ruling class, which is the minority capitalist class.

What does that even mean? You know that war is the continuation of politics by other means, right? The class war is entirely political.

All I know is it will be double-plus ungood.

Gonna start calling it late-stage liberalism.

Citizens proles will be on their best behavior.

That’s like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they call Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah! The important thing was, that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
