Number my sorrows,
will you ?
And measure them.
One comes and
the next one
rivals it.

The Crusades changed how Europeans thought about empire.


dude allegedly committed war crimes and is allegedly mega rich
as someone that is called less than human by neighbors and family I feel pride in that moniker now that I’m seeing what humans actually are.


call your wireless company.
Moloch wants to get you into a brand 2026 Ford F-150 with special financing.


Democrats keep calling a political party a brand.
US Americans are looking for good faith government not a brand.
So no more biting the doubloon to see if it is real gold.


Only until I found a therapist that helped me with self-loathing and projection.


I do not think that supporting Palestinians being allowed to live in peace in their homes means someone supports HAMAS.
Sort seems like that is the implication from the question, though.


Yup. Let’s get this straight about England’s problem with the NAZIs: NAZIs think that colonialism need not only been done at a distance. NAZIs will colonize their own people. The civilized British would only colonize at a distance. At least since the 16th century. So the moral compasses of the West are still bent around treating other sovereign nations as resources.
hegemon gonna hegemon.
So I agree NAZIs make every argument worse … the dudes in the Wehrmacht loved their country as much as these people love the USA. And I have no solutions.


I think that the “good” ethically that they are speaking to is the idea that beyond contemporary American fascist/imperialist nationalism a person willing to sacrifice a portion of their lives to serve the republic is what is called a “good”.
When Athenians fought the Spartans in the Peloponnesian War neither side had a particular righteous stance but standing up for their city was considered a good.
Now we have to face the fact that our leaders no longer even pretend to do things for the good. And boots are arguing for a “good” beyond the scope of that.
And honestly you should let them have that sense of participating in the good for the realm of glory. I understand that struggle because I feel very disjointed about Vietnam vets. I struggle with that part of US history and those that participated in it a bunch.
So I get it. But I have tried to make space for these people that tried to do that right thing that history told them was the right thing. Sometimes you have to let the wookie win.
people that can’t speak truth need time to formulate bullshit
people that can’t hear truth need time to deny it


they are, on the other hand, incredibly consistent at killing humans and animals

Like zero experience in broadcast television but whatever. TV is dead.

I don’t think that ICE would only surveil American phones.
There is no honor in being the child of the wealthy.
If that child does something cool everyone says it is because their parents are rich.
If that child does something less than cool or mediocre everyone says they could have done so much more if they were the rich child.
And if that child does something bad everyone says look how much more horrible they are they came from privilege.
There is no honor for the children of the rich. And if their family doesn’t like that child … if you have a bad relationship with your parents imagine if they could use money freely to fuck with your life … it sounds unpleasant from here.
