MAGA Nazi takeover terrorism?

 

Are you a male human?
Then you define masculinity for you.
Take the time to think, feel, imagine
who you choose to be.


Humankind seems to be
racing toward species extinction
(carrying a bunch of others along)
through a multitude of what ought
to be unlikely acceptances


Opposition does not make us wrong,
but may help to show us who is


Denying their voice to those we even
outrageously, courageously, deeply
disagree with does not make us better,
stronger, or informed.  Rather, it
takes from us means of information
by which we might more easily defeat
them


How did America get to this point of
MAGA Nazi takeover terrorism?
While MAGA/GOP/Tech Billionaires
happily engorge their authoritarian
Dear Leader with the power of their
violent loyalty, the "Left" enjoys the
game of tearing down whoever dares
to offer to officially work for our common
benefit, while refusing to perfectly reflect
each of our every requirements. Fine for
anarchy in the streets, but offers 
nothing to deflect our organized abusers



Wasting our energy against merely
flawed humans, letting evil reign



Get out there and demand Rank Choice
Voting in every jurisdiction you can.
Get us beyond this stupid two-party
system.  Elect directly the people who
can lead.



music/dancing/costumes/snacks/
clever signs -- big "political parties" 
in all the streets, surrounding ICE nonviolently
making a popular fun scene seen


fired for not being MAGA enough?
have skills going to waste, and blanks in your 
resume?  
find ways to use those skills to improve the part 
of your world that you can

not sufficiently MAGA

 

seems to me all these folks fired for insufficient 
MAGAness could form a kind of parallel social 
sphere of businesses and leaders working for 
the public good





give no credence to idiots and those who 
deny their possibility of reason because
 irrational biases are so attractive to their 
false superiority



The Democrats in US Congress are fighting 
to keep medical care for all Americans at 
least somewhat affordable so we aren't all 
dying in the streets from curable conditions.  
The Trumpettes want everyone who isn't them
to die or be  enslaved or deported. They want 
our gov't shut down so they can just rush through 
destroying every right and ability we have fought 
for, worked for, died for, because not thems are 
targets, not humans.


We are rightfully concerned about the
effects of intelligent machines on our
lives and livelihoods.  Yet, to some
extent, we are already there. Not machines
with human intelligence, but those
humans with machine intelligence that
push themselves to the top, ruling
from their obsession with wealth.


Watch out, Blue states
Trump seems ready to take the
lesson from Netanyahu's getting
away with massacre


Crypto:  destroying the world so
certain people can feel superior
AI: destroying the world so certain
people can carve out and hoard
even more wealth


Do the work you want to see
done.  If you don't know how,
learn; or find the people who can
and help them get together
**********
Within

It's not the isms that are destroying
us, our better lives
It's the humans -- notably unreliable
often cruel
just cause it feels good to let loose
that pent up pain into sister's face
Oh! boy!  Life is not your bitch,
is it?
Not due to projects to demean you,
but that you never learned to be 
the you you need.
The one that can heal you,
find the joy of kindness,
set you free.



9/27-10/4/25

Sane, pro-social views

 
Protesters:  what are you shutting down,
with your immense numbers, disallowing
business as usual?  Perhaps preventing
weapons from distribution? Perhaps
surrounding ICE patrols?  What else?


Understand:  Democracy means compromise.
Yes, be clear on your priorities, redlines; but
know that to get anything of consequence
done, we need cooperation.  We need to be
able to navigate, to project a course across
the sea of possibilities from here to there.


The point is not that they are destroyed,
but that we overwhelm their influence.


We need to stop wasting our resources
on conflict, and get together to solve
our common problems, which are
existentially profound.


The root of evil?  Again and again
denying mitigation of social problems
in ritual sacrifice to worship this
corrupted human construct, entangling
our better possibilities, holding them
down, with political mythology based
on the sacredness of profitability.


Stop
Think
Listen to your quiet observer
What do you want?
What is missing?
Where does yearning lead?
 

Not attached to the social web
that pervasive entrainment that
dictates our tribal steps for the dance.

expressing our worst selves.

 
I blame the nonvoters,
not those who would vote, but face
serious obstacles. I mean those who
choose to abdicate their responsibilities
to democracy, and people who don't 
take their vote seriously enough to
learn who and what they vote for
when they do.


It's not social media.
I have been on social media for quite
a while, and back in earlier days,
happily engaged in fascinating
conversations.  It's that today,
people have fallen into an expectation
of expressing our worst selves.


No solution, within our insistence
on short-term profit, has been
fabricated to unbind us from our
most shameful stain. Humankind,
despite eternal lessons, won't refrain
from dividing:  me and mine above
all else made manifest in every
consideration. Righteously negating
potential friends from lists of who
we cherish or accept -- bonds based
not on logic, nor emotions shared,
but on selected categories infused
with fear.


dei = god
They're forcing God out of all
the places where they can enforce
authority. God, who loves Creation in
all its glorious diversity, instills a belief
in equity, inclusion. The God of Hate
and Torture they apparently worship
seems more like the AntiChrist.
Think?


Why aren't the liberal, responsible
women the greatest political force?


When we speak of the vast majority
of the oppressed against the small
minority of oligarchs, we must see
that we are brought down by
splintering into our individual
disinformed identities.


It is no matter of lesser evil when the
one group is clearly doing the work of
evil, while the other is merely imperfectly
human.


We expect other people to take on the
responsibilities; and we expect them
to do it our way.


Ambient chaos shouts
Nothing matters.  Nothing is real.
Complicit in dissolution because
"This is life." Leaving all the important
decisions, how we are allowed to be,
to those who see profits in insistence
on imposing their own reality.


Compare and contrast: Black Supreme
Court Justices, Thurgood Marshall and
Clarence Thomas.



What is autism?
People speak as if that is a thing we
all know; but when I ask, it doesn't
seem so.


8/26-9/6/25

losing our selves

 


When we categorize ourselves
and each other
we risk losing our selves


The type of personality that demands
continual amassing has different precepts,
codes, values from those generally
considered “good” “humane”
Attempting to shame, or bring about
a higher consciousness can have no effect
when the language barrier so vastly
separates


The Liberals, for all their panty-clutching
cowardice, are so much better than the
Righteous, who absolutely NEED to rule
other people’s lives, make everyone as
miserable as they, so they can feel
justified in their misery.


Dems, try the same strategies being used 
by successful candidates of talking directly 
to the people about what concerns them, 
being an actual advocate, understanding 
what is needed by your district and acting 
accordingly, encouraging volunteers from 
all areas, getting the word  out LOUD


We are clueless, undereducated, unable to 
understand the implications of our choices 
because our so-called democracy is played 
like a sport, not taken seriously as the backbone 
of the society in which our lives take place. 
Obviously, what is needed is education of the 
kind busy people will take to, endless 
anti-propaganda that is spread as more people 
learn enough to make that our background. 


socialism is pretty much a trigger term, 
not a real here and now to usefully react to -- 
it gets to be, like a Humpty Dumpty word, 
whatever the speaker assumes.  The definition 
people with a conscience tend to lean toward 
is about people being more important than profit. -- 
The essentially humane view that actual living 
beings have more intrinsic value than made up 
constructs to allow for some to grab and hoard 
what were common resources.


isms are human constructs, often based more 
on ideological theory than real world practice 
why not reverse for usefulness -- figure out what 
gives people the best possible lives, and do that


8/11-22/25

all "peoples" suck

 
What is it with people, putting Democrats
down for playing by the rules, respecting
the law, instead of demanding that
Republicans do so?


Monetary prosperity may be a fine
goal.  After all, we need to pay for
our lofty projects.  But it is meant
as a goal among many, perhaps even
only a preliminary, to serve the benefit
of a thriving society based on humane
values.
The thrifty yet aggressive Businessman
archetype is but one of the vast pantheon
of social icons.


I can see where the needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few.
However, there is a vast difference 
between taking care of needs and
allowing active harm. Actively
harming a nonconsenting, nonharming
member is never to be condoned, no
matter who or how many benefit.


More and more people are being
indiscriminately disappeared by thugs
in masks and combat gear, without 
ability to get out word of where they
are.  Some have even already died,
more deported into torture.  When
there is no accountability, no word
given, they could be anyone. They
could be people you love, depend on.
Is there anyone you've not heard from
longer than usual?



I am not possibly antisemitic
I don't believe in these human divisions.
If anything, I am anti-humanity --
because all "peoples" suck

maybe AI hallucinations

 

what we are all going gaga about 

is not Intelligence at all
I am concerned we are heading for 

a post-real world in which there is no 

basis for anything. Meanwhile, the actual 
research into machine intelligence that 

could yield amazing results is conflated 

with this machine idiocy




Ah, prurient interest
That's what the Epstein Pedofile hysteria
is about

This whole time-line is a
post-real farce -- maybe AI hallucinations

A State has many possible functions
As such, profit is not among them
That is the province of Business
They are quite different Archetypes

To have self-rule government that
answers to us, we each need to fulfill
our responsibilities to create, maintain,
and assure effective oversight to that
end.
It's not a fault, but a success for
government to provide the desired
benefit for those who make the effort
to make that happen.



Democrats are cowards.  Yes, some
are; some are not; some at times,
not others.  The brand is a myth,
spread by the real cowards.

It's all over
The mine-run believes without question:
We are meant to go along to get along.

When you are not feeling threatened,
you can allow yourself to feel more
in touch, to feel for someone else
as a potential friend.



Salty bitterness
with an absurd dose
of surreal

When you insist: "Israel has a
right to self-defense" Yes, when we
use those words to mean our common
vision of how that works. When you/
they use these Nazi connotations (doublespeak?),
equate horrific torture, starvation, bombardment,
maiming and murdering masses of innocent
civilians, I cannot condone the barbarity of
that translation.  If that is your language,
than, NO -- they have no right to such 
"self-defense"  No one has a right to misuse
our common understandings, our common world
so unconscionably inhumanely.



I never had an interest in making money,
accumulating wealth
I could never understand why anyone would.
I was always interested in making art,
accumulating experience



Apparently the current administration
is making America irrelevant, gauche
and barbaric.



Lazy in my aging
Giving in to my fading senses,
uncomfortable musculature



I get it
You admire the fascists
You secretly love their promise
of order and brutality.
You know you should never
admit your true feelings
What to do?
Bash the Democrats as
weakling opposition

Somehow we've convinced ourselves
it is worthwhile spending our precious
human lives on pursuing wealth beyond
our ability to properly shepherd.
