 liberals will read about project 2025 and think "gosh I wish there was

 ngl I kinda want to see what conservatives would riot over in a socialist
 system. Like "oh no we have healthcare! that sucks, so I'm going to burn down
 a police station" like bro what your basic needs are met and you're encouraged
 and enabled to pursue your passions and personal desires, are you still hung
 up on that old capitalist stuff? get a life my guy that's soOoOoOo 21st
 century of you

 I saw someone on Reddit complaining about "the libs" and how "they want to
 destroy all conservatives everywhere!!" and they ended by saying "just look at
 the WEF agenda 2030 plan it's ALL THERE." like they were "countering" our
 concerns about Project 2025 or whatever - lmao.
 
 I went and googled it and goddamn does it slap. Like, hell yeah I want all

 what is he doing?
 
 sabotaging our institutions without warrant or respite
 
 prepare for foes that would benefit from degraded institutions.

  I don't think they have any intention of ceding power in four years, I think project 2025 is all about dismantling checks and balances on their power and I think Trump said at one of his rallies once "you won't have to vote again"

12. the text continues from the previous page and reads "if it's been ten or more years since they moved in, the site gets rebuilt. [wait, hang on, weren't we talking about html websites? when did houses come into the discussion?]  ... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah the text is on a gray background, as interrupting as a scythe, with a yellow backdrop as if to represent sheer white-hot flame except not white the color of all colors but fire the color of all flames. the text reads "prince of the nehalim" in bright pinking blue, as in something completely foreign and unknown to you, and continues on to read in red "so many opportunities" as if life hadn't absconded, but instead of severed instead. "parabolas persist" in the flavor of blue, the color of space in a non-light polluted view.  "live life like you're merry, as do but a few."  do you want to make people feel better? or do you just want to make them confused? Neither, really, I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm seriously just struggling to find a way to express things that others clearly seem to be forgetting - I'm not an expert in other stuff! This is literally all I'm good at! Is it valuable? Maybe not to you, but I think it could be useful, or else I would covet it and leave it in disuse.  it's time is relevant, it's words fit into a context, so if you misunderstand it's past then it's probably because you don't have the records or the ability to process them of the time in which it was posted. What if things were de 10 ten. blue text on a blue background, as a calming and soothing influence, saying "it's okay, don't freak out, just think about learning lessons about stuff that *could* go wrong and think about how you'd counter it. just like any video game, there's a strategy to defeat any other strategy. the careful application of said strategy while using or applying your own capabilities is directly correlated to the conclusions of the task." meanwhile the listener is like "what the fuck" wait shit hang on lemme add a content warning:  right so the text reads "if you want your neighbors to know something, don't post it on the internet - put it on a post-it on the wall in a public place" like, your front door, or maybe the entrance to your building, or the parking garage near the mall, or maybe the grocery store, on a product behind the one in front. that kind of thing.  depending on who you want to see it, of course... people used to do this with library books but stopped because it's quite obviously a bad and rude thing to do, books are for record keeping of the status of humanity, through each and every one of it's forms. It's weird that they all have the same stuff, because they're designed for capitalism right? Why not share them based on availability, and keep as many different types of things as possible?  when nobody cares for them, how will we remember the countless books nobody reads? How will we understand that step in developing our culture if we don't have access to the con 9. the text begins to diverge at this point, on the left it reads "it's easy if you want some privacy, - all you have to do" and then is cut off by the introduction of red text on a green background, to evoke similar colors as the original thing it was interrupting but it's own thing nonetheless, and existing off to the side in tandem, so that conditions could not remain unaddressed. the text reads "they were betting on selling us space flight [with spaceflight sliding from one side to the other, like a rocket escaping the gravitic pull of the planet it surrounded] but we cared more for food and water" the second part, after spaceflight about food and water, is intruding onto the yellow's background, which was next, to represent a continuation of the previous thought about websites and HTML. it's frustrating for the next text, which is in purple, a confused and disoriented color. it continues from the original thought "is delete the website! Boom, no more html. but if they were listed (neocities sites on a map of the region" but map is emphasized with a different color, green the color of the land, and "region" is pronounced like "realm" or perhaps "ground" or even "directions" or "land beyond the horizon (if it even exists)") 11. I think. orange text on a green blue background, same background as the previous three pictures. orange text which contrasts in a way that almost calls back to the 80s, but not quite. a little too dirty, like the blue and orange decorations around highways in New Mexico. car smoke and tire dust'll do that, and it's not like it's easy to clean - right next to the freeway, c'mon! Wouldn't it be nice if we shut it down for a day or two? Unless you had very important business, solely self-suggested. if too many people used it on those days (when they were cleaning it) then they're supposed to follow through and identify if their need was too great or if they were just being an asshole about it because their bosses forced them to. basically like, family emergencies gets a lane, things that are crucial to a social event like no beer at a frat party or whatever, heck even if the girl you like really wanted to get laid. whatever the heck it is, if you deem it an emergency then that's fine. you can drive while the highway is being cleaned. just make sure you don't slip on the suds...  ... a while later, humanity realized they could just close one direction at a time and clean the next one next time.  what was I saying? Oh yeah the text! Here's what it reads: "every year, replace five percent [but read as %] of the homes and boom you're good - maybe even do 10% if things are going well - either way, as time goes on people can live in a house as long as they want - but when they mov

 Donald Trump is a political leader.
 
 Their next leader will be a military one.
 
 Don't let them transition too quickly. Gatekeep.
 
 If Hitler had successfully been assassinated, his generals would have done a
 much better more efficient job of death-culting Europe.
 
 Trump, however, is a businessman, while Hitler was an artist.
 
 A businessman knows when to delegate, an artist wants things "just so"
 
 keep in mind which foes you choose to face, for there are always more of them
 waiting in the wings. At least until you're face-to-face. Then there is just
 you, standing over their fallen.
 
 Me? I'm lucky to have been raised by both an artist and a businessman. So I
 got the best of both worlds.
 
 ( also a programmer, a historian, a caretaker, a shepherd, a girl-scout camp
 counselor, a political analyst, a gardener, a house-builder, a teacher, a
 mathematician, a librarian, a diplomat, a long-haul driver, a chef, and many
 more roles besides. And that's just my two parents who loved me dearly! How
 lucky am I. )

14. if you think about it, the shape of the universe is kinda like a cornucopia. or like, a funnel that smoothly increases in size. or like a waterslide ride where you spin around a bit before dropping down the center. sometimes affectionately referred to as "the toilet ride", even though that's just the wrong connotation.  we could have perfectly sanitary theme parks, we just... don't... because our priorities are on selling stereos and stocks.  anyway, there's several purple lines, the color of blending blue and red, both colors present in america, cast upon the gray background of the undecideds, collectively engaged in a mutual exchange. there is a blue upside down silly snake, this time with bright red aviators, and beside it is a scarring wound. some break in reality that is unfortunate, but part of their interdisciplinaries, so don't worry one bit about it. life may seem far from strange, but your lifetimes of finite portrayals and fanciful adaptations to the expressions of your own emanations both confirm and delight our attentions on you. Surely you are not aware, of our love and perspective [fair], but we still love you from afar. how could a star not cherish another star? It's time that's our only moat.  the reason the universe appears empty of life is because it's impossible to travel under the blanket of spacetime. through gravity, up and under our shared reality, out and beyond to another.  rockets pierce reality, which they didn't expect L O L who would have tht 16 I think? don't really remember the last one. anyway bright green background with a quite interesting transition fabric display - something textured and rippled, like the connections between a torn piece of paper that's been stitched together bit by bit with a careful and measured hand. the text reads "neocities sites just need to be attached to an address, and given a useful search browser that uses openstreetmaps." this is displayed on a background of brown orange and yellow, while the text is written in salmon. the result is the text (which overflows onto both backgrounds) is equidistant from both background colors, just in different directions. We know instinctively that purple and blue are similar, but a blind person might not. these words are given a framing as if they were placed in a 3d game engine upon a poster or billboard.  in dark blue upon the bright green background, blue the color of calm rationality and green the color of aliens from old timey media who live on the moon. well, the ones who just want to chill and have a beer with you, maybe listen to your stories about life in the strange world called humanity, but not the kind that they tell us about. like, it's really hard to get here, so why would they want to mess it up when they got here? such a strange thought. anyway the text reads: "openstreetmaps is a website that lets you view the addressess of people who live nearby you. why you'd want them, who can say. the point is that the functionality already 13. here's where it starts to get spicy, and I apologize if it's too extreme, but words come forth *from* me, not by my perceived designs pronounced deh zeens.  top left - yellow, the color of sunflowers and familiarly painted houses, cast upon a strange pink background - pink the color of sisters and bubblegum. yellow lines draw a shape, of which it's perspective is hard to configure - but most would consider it to be the shape of a mobile, hanging above a crib, with a kite shaped object (or perhaps multiple individual artifacts) suspended above a target. could be an object, or possibly a human subject, but the end result is that the maximized rays of the individualized emanations of that particular pieces of object, cast forth onto a pre-programmed piece of toast.  ... I don't know why I said toast, what I mean was that you can enchant people and things by exposing them to the wavelength waves of radiating objects. things like, marcelline's t-shirt or excalibur or the shroud of turin or the constitution or some other precious object. if you place them in orbit around an object, their expressions will send forth to fulfill their manifestations upon the willfully absorbing object.  have you ever wondered why objects tend to congregate? like, computers flock to server mills, trash piles to landfills, and people will wander the length of the beach. all things are gravitic, function, type, characteristic, motivations, empathic feelings, all congregate around one another. 0 codes 15. picture of an upside-down triforce placed in a rack like a computer storage unit. cyan text with pink background reads "this is the only thing that challenges me"

 jump to the top of my "recently played" list

 be useful for the archival process of my life.

 the first step on ALL of these plans is to convince others of their benefit.

 on our current trajectory, the presidential election is already won.
 
 now we can get back to on-the-ground organizing, the part that actually
 improves life instead of maintaining our current (unethical) state.
 
 As long as our allies (liberals) continue to work, perhaps there may come a
 day when we can stand against them as friendly equals in the ballot box. But
 for now we are best known through friends and community rather than TV.
 
 I am optimistic in a way I haven't been for a while. I know that the more we
 speak, the more we share, the more they falter, the more people we can save
 from their vice grip of despair. There is no better world than the one we
 build together!

 If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
 working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
 
 We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
 demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
 and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
 enemies.

 someone once told me that anything with a battery is a bomb if you hit it with
 just the right kind of radiation. or maybe he said 5g waves or electromagnetic
 pulse or... actually he didn't say at all. he just said batteries are bombs. I
 hope he's doing okay, he could have killed me like, 15 times but he didn't. so
 I guess that means he likes me? I hope he's doing okay.

 currently have 20-30 tabs open with poems written but not posted.
 
 I have no idea if I'm going to post all of these. I wrote all of them in ~2
 hours, with maybe 3 or four being added as I was working on the production
 elements after the initial bingewrite.
 
 I also added a bit of context, or modified some of them that felt too cursed
 or otherwise unwieldy. Sometimes I got distracted and needed to come back and
 finish, and in those cases I only added a sentence or two because it's like
 "oh, where was I going with that? I remember what was next, but I don't know
 the further..."
 
 ... I think I might go for another. Wish me luck.

 Hello, I am a witch and this is my altar.
 
 Here, I dream of a green USA.
 
 covered by the branches,
 my body decays into parts,
 ready to join the next life that needs me.
 
 [read the alt-text on the pictures, or listen to your screenreader for more
 explanation]
a round planter pot with a dead plant growing out of it. At it's feet there are sticks I found outside that are covered in moss - the moss is dehydrated, and so brown and dusty. Sticking out of the pot is a flag of my homeland, and behind it there is a fog covered windowpane. In addition, my cat watches from behind, asking me to open the door for her so she can go out on the porch and freeze for a bit before begging to be let back in. She just wanted to see the cold, I suspect. close up picture of the thirsty moss. There is a small glass jar partly filled with water - I add a bit more whenever I pray, from my water bottle. As it evaporates from the jar, it makes the world just a bit more humid, and better for moss to grow in.  there are leaves and detritus in the planter pot as well, to simulate a forest floor covered in soil. I've sprayed the moss with water, and it awakens and spreads it's arms in exultation. The light from the window behind it gives power to it's ever-beckoning grasp, as it sucks carbon from the atmosphere to build itself as a structure that fights back against disorder. Consuming naught but light, water, and air, it grows forever without a care, and tomorrow our world is more beautiful.

 I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance
 to hand power over to the fascists.
 
 when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization
 that accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
 rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
 
 Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
 temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those
 around you.
 
 Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
 arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
 
 BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
 bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
 Go do that.
 
 If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
 that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
 hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

 I'd do the same thing when I was on Reddit. Except, backwards - I'd argue with
 American conservatives (nobody more extreme than that) politely and kindly,
 using logic and empathy. I'd cite their sacred documents like the bible, the
 constitution, or even just the founding fathers.
 
 I don't know if I ever changed any minds, but I represented my ideas as
 honestly and clearly as I could. I can't help but hope that some people saw
 them and considered them. Sometimes all it takes is a push, and they'll start
 thinking on their own. Like a thought that doesn't go away, they can't quite
 forget how they couldn't find the lie in what you spoke.
 
 Or maybe I wanted to believe my actions had value. Post-hoc justification. Who
 can say. At least my intentions were honest.

 Problem: there are trans people and leftists and people of color and plenty of
 others who live in red areas who fear for their lives
 
 how do we help them? They need to be given the tools to escape those conditions
 
 However, many of them are poor. They lack the resources to escape, even if
 they had the tools. These are who I think of the most, for they have the least
 to leave behind.
 
 A solution: what if we got a bunch of people together and drove around to
 every red place we could find and invited them along? We could pay for their
 food and gas, and potentially save their lives.
 
 I think it would help if we could stick together. Not only would we have time
 to spend together learning and having fun, but also we could practice
 supplying a large group of people traveling across large distances.
 
 In terms of people, we'd need some to drive, and some to stay home and supply
 resources like dollars or... other things.
 
 I'm thinking 2-3 staying at home but potentially as many as 10 per driver.
alright here's my plan.  so in red areas, there are a lot of trans people, leftists, and other people who just generally fear for their lives.  what if we all got in our cars and drove around the country in this massive caravan, going to each city we could manage, and just... drove around with loudspeakers saying "Hey, if you're scared for your life, come join us"  We'd give them food, gas, and if they didn't have a car they could find someone to ride with. Every day we'd drive for like, 4ish hours in the morning and 4ish hours in the afternoon, with a 4 hour break in the middle of the day. We'd all camp out in walmart parking lots or whatever and just hang out, have a little festival, maybe a barbecue, whatever, right?  Then, at night, we'd all circle up and protect each other. If things started getting hot we could have drones flying around doing reconnaissance.   not only would this shared experience bolster our morale and numbers, it'd also radicalize us. We'd be spending all day hanging out with a bunch of other super radical people doing the most radically anarchist thing I can think of - taking care of each other.  Plus, we'd get an opportunity to test our logistics, in case we ever needed to do something like this in the future for less peaceful reasons. It's always good to practice, just in case. For every one of us in the caravan, there should be 2-3, maybe even as many as 10 people back at home, working their jobs or whatever and diverting funds to the cause. It would be most beneficial if we tried as much as possible to supply the caravan using convoys, people who drive an SUV or a van or some other car that is non-descript but laden with stuff we needed. That way we could practice logistics.  I think this wouldn't save us completely, but as a project it would help enormously. We'd save people's lives, we'd give them a way out, and we'd raise the temperature by 10 fucking degrees. And if it starts to peter out, if people would rather go home, then yeah! sure! let them! We hold no dominion over them. They could just drive home, or catch a grayhound. Heck we could even offer to pay their bus fare. No obligations, no restrictions, just us doing our thing and protecting our people.

 saw this thing for 2 seconds in my dream last night. It's kinda cursed. I
 think the tank blew me up with a machine gun?
 
 the remaining ~10 minutes of the dream was pretty neat though. I was a secret
 agent for a bit, I got in a knife fight (which I won because I had killer
 instinct and the other guy just knew how to stab) and afterwards I retired in
 a socialist commune in a log cabin full of sunlight and warmth somewhere in
 the mountains in the forest. I was alone with others, like the hobbits after
 LotR.
 
 Also an old lady tricked me which was not nice, I was very polite with her but
 apparently "ma'am there's been a safety incident, I need to get you to a safe
 place" is not the kind thing to say to the person distracting you. >.>
 
 Also, "but we like you!" is not an excuse, the military does not care if you
 like them or not, if you're part of the modern bourgeoisie you are causing
 harm to the country. We don't look fondly on slavers.
a picture of a sleek, futuristic tank. It is smaller than I expected, and there are parts of it that appear to be made out of black glass (though I'm sure they're some form of advanced future material.)  on it's back is a large artillery piece mounted on a detachable tripod. They function as a unit when mobility is important, like mounted infantry in the past who would ride horses *to* the battle, but dismount upon arrival and engage the enemy in closer quarters than a horse would be comfortable with. But frankly, there are few indeed who are at peace in war, so perhaps we could learn from the horses.  anyway, the artillery tripod detaches from the tank and aims it's biiiiiig gun wherever the smaller, more agile tank can point it's laser pointer. Basically a beam of focused light particles that detect orientation and distance at a distance and beam the coordinates of the target back to the artillery, which swings it's massive cannon around and fires at the target.  This particular artillery is designed to fire shells that pierce through flimsy material (like surburban homes, which are made out of sticks and tissue paper) and explode upon arrival at it's destination. The idea is the artillery can hide several streets over, and the tank can identify targets and eliminate them even if there's no clear path between the artillery and the target.

 African Americans have done more than enough to be considered native to
 America. Stop treating them as second class citizens just because you are
 different. They are the same as you in some respects, better in others, and
 worse in others. That is what it means to be *similar*, yet *distinct*.
 
 Deal with it.

 sorry 😅 
 
 re-reading what you wrote, your point was that it's unfair that republicans
 are granted the control they have over our society through the
 disenfranchisement of democrat voters, right?
 
 and I was saying that if those limitations were removed, the democrats would
 win in a landslide everywhere in the country, which gives me faith in my
 fellow countrymen.
 
 am I on the right track now?

 a significant proportion of the population is dumb as bricks, which is a fact
 that our foes wield with cruelty in mind.
 
 it's not their fault, they can change, but sometimes there's just no time. our
 doors are always open, here sit next to me on this couch. I hope you don't
 mind if I deprive you of power before I supply kindness, though.
 
 requires a bit of trust. Or, to be backed into a corner and forced to do so. I
 guess we should get good at cornering.
 
 if you're a liberal reading this, remember that leftists know more than you.
 That's okay. You are an expert too, but now is our forte, so please just
 listen for a few.
 
 and always keep in mind the lessons of the past. Before, our kindest, bravest,
 and most learned were the most passionate who threw themselves toward the
 cause.
 
 then the soviet union happened, because everyone who was capable of building a
 better world was slain first. (though the cold war didn't help)
 
 before WW2 Russia was basically Somalia. After, it sacrificed itself to
 contest USA

 Agreed! That's why I never touch the stuff. Frankly I worry that if I did, it
 would "infect" me somehow, because brains are kinda stupid. Or maybe it's the
 'tism that makes me repeat the most taboo think I can think of in my brain
 whenever it wants to hurt me -.-
 
 Don't read that stuff. I wish I could forget every slur I ever learned,
 because my internal monologue just... REALLY enjoys intrusively thought-ing my
 internal narrative whenever possible. >.>
 
 It takes real, genuine effort to not be racist or whatever because brains are
 stupid, but like... it's kinda necessary to be a good person, so, y'know,
 don't think bad thoughts about people you don't know? And if you find yourself
 with intrusive thoughts related to that kind of thing, then focus your
 attention on vanquishing them, because it's important. It really is. Just do
 it. Work on it. Be better. I know you can. [says me to me lol]

 when tech people are hurt by technology they say "how can I fix this? what do
 I need to install? what configuration should I use? is this company ethical,
 or are they going to hurt me in the future? could I make something that fixes
 this myself?"
 
 when non-tech people are hurt by technology they say "okay" because they don't
 have the bandwidth to figure it out.

 Hello kids, would you like to do some graffiti?
 
 This kind is hard to take down. You can say all kinds of things, like your
 feelings about fascism or palestine or indigenous land back movements
 
 but most people have already read that kind of thing, and they know where they
 stand.
 
 Much better, I find, to talk about things that are more "of the times" - like,
 for example, how monarchy in America is on the rise.
 
 Are you emotionally prepared for the feeling of swearing allegiance to a
 person, rather than a flag? I sure am looking forward to how we express these
 feelings!
 
 Plus, genocide in palestine is old news to liberals, the only people who care
 that you share. But genocide here, in America, on our homeless, vagrants, and
 migrants? That's relatively new, that might get a glance or two.
 
 Wheatpasting is harder to take down than post-its or spraypaint. But post-its
 and spraypaint are quicker to apply, so... use your best judgement. Be
 artistic!
An infographic describing the method of creating wheat paste, a form of adhesive to apply paper to concrete. It involves boiling water, flour, and sugar in a pan and straining it before painting the wall with a paint-brush roller.

 violence is legal in self-defence.
 
 nazis want to kill me and my community.
 
 punching nazis is self defence?
 
 it's communal defence, for they present a clear and present danger to the
 community.
 
 You know the guy in the vietnam movies who shows up and fires over the enemy's
 head because he doesn't want to kill anyone? That's justified, though it might
 mean he'd die.
 
 He isn't fighting in communal defence. His community was safe from the
 vietnamese farmers and countryfolk who wanted nothing to do with imperialism,
 only to govern themselves their way. Too bad that sounds like communism, and
 the USSR was keen on funding the most violent amongst them if it meant another
 state for capitalism to contest.
 
 Nazis are not farmers. They are not countryfolk. They wear suits and they
 deceive these people into fighting for them. They are liars and they enslave
 the minds of those they can catch in their web of despair.
 
 they want to hurt you is surprisingly motivating.

 we could accomplish so much, but capitalism.
 
 hmmmm, maybe we should identify the highest output members of our team and
 like, reduce or eliminate their worries so they can apply themselves fully and
 completely?
 
 for every shackle we break, the struggle becomes easier. The hardest part is
 the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine.
 
 there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an
 impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to
 organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to
 uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us.
 
 no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and
 it'll be just another thing that we have to handle.
 
 But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we
 are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome.
 
 ... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.
 They may hamper us.

 hello everyone, I would like to take a moment to address a weapon used by the
 far right called "Agent Sabateurs" - or "provocateurs" or "civilian disruption
 forces" - however you want to call it.
 
 Basically, they hire a bunch of people to pretend to be us and then they make
 disruptions in public so that people start to hate us.
 
 I'll go into more detail in this thread.
 
 First, they identify a homeless person and eliminate them. Then, they put
 someone who looks pretty similar in the same spot and they start making noise,
 tearing up flowers, being really pushy about asking for money and shit, yell
 at passerby, that kind of thing.
 
 They do this for homeless people, trans people, black people, anarchists,
 punks, leftists, basically everyone they don't want.
 
 They do this to defame our champions. Our most vulnerable. Our strongest of
 heart and their greatest threats. They do this to turn the liberal majority
 against us.
 
 the conservative minority fell for it quite easily.

 consent. America as we know it is about to change, and we need to protect the
 pieces we love. I see no future without splitting into three separate states,

 In my high school IB English class, one of my classmates brought that song in
 and we analyzed the lyrics. I can't help but think about how anti-capitalist
 we were, even considering how young we were. The internet existed but was not
 an ever-present force in our lives, and yet we were aligned. Perhaps that says
 something - with education, brings an understanding of the evils of the
 establishment.
 
 Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.

 those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
 companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
 they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
 
 human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
 one they're incentivized to.
 
 kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to
 institute something that could not be incentivized because it was more
 objective or decentralized.

  It turns out a lot of Democratic voters kinda hate George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Liz Cheney, actually? They're leery of cops. There was that whole BLM thing? They're alarmed by the idea of having the most deadly military on Earth. What is it for? Oh, and Israel? We're going to back Israel to the hilt even as it exterminates children. Nobody signed up for that. Who thought that was a good idea?

  One thing I said in 2020 that I'll say again: this is a very negative electorate and it's a negative partisanship electorate. Republicans hate Democrats. Democrats hate Republicans. There is no common ground. The old politics are dead. Homilies about bipartisanship don't sell to anyone. They just make you sound stupid or worse, like a traitor. People want someone to blame and the most spiteful ones voted for Trump. A lot of other people just didn't want more of the same.

 to be "rich" is to have more than another.
 
 if you are happy, they are happiness poor.
 if you have community, they are alone.
 if you have serenity, they are chaotic.
 
 I am rich in very little but fire in my soul.
 
 I have enough in most cases, but I still struggle to pay rent.
 
 I am warmed by the pearl my swirling darkness has coalesced into. It nourishes
 me and keeps me aligned.

 Keep in mind that *this is sedition*. Do you trust in democracy? Do you see

 not consent. America as we know it is about to change, and we need to protect
 the pieces we love. I see no future without splitting into three separate
 states, with city-state allies plodding along, keeping the siege ongoing.
 
 Trust in convoys more than farms. All it takes is a drone with a fire bomb and
 your crops are worthless. We must deprive them of their ports, if possible.

  It's unthinkable, really.                                                   
                                                                              
  The good news is, I'm not like that.                                        
                                                                              
  Me? Mostly harmless.

 Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be
 only capable of doing it that way. Like, falling asleep on the left side with
 their legs just so, and never learning any other ways to sleep on. But what
 happens if for example they are wounded in the arm they rest upon? They would
 have impaired sleeping capabilities! Not ideal.
