"Conservatives *hate* complexity"

a superb post by @pluralistic that distills a core aspect of why right-wing ideas about how to manage things like the economy, immigration and our personal lives collide so rapidly with reality

key passage here, but do read the whole thing

They're coming after CITIZENS now.

Which is why I shall REPEAT:
DON'T let the Gestapo agents take you anywhere.
They are ACTIVE SHOOTERS and should be treated as such:
RUN. HIDE. And only if you have to, fight.
These SCUM don't recognize rights, and are essentially kidnapping people off the streets.
THEY ARE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS AND TERRORISTS.

You are better off in police custody and arguing self defense.

If you go with them, you will never be seen again.

Don't let the Gestapo agents take you anywhere. Fight them if you have to. These people don't recognize rights, and are essentially kidnapping people off the streets.

If they are involved you are better off in police custody and arguing self defense. If you go with them, you will never be seen again.

You are here.
oh wow i forgot to update my pfp and header on here? well, fixed now!

People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.

The nuclear family -- as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers -- is an exceedingly recent invention.

Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting ➡️

I don't understand the kind of ghoul you want me to be.

No, it is NOT a good system, just because others got hurt worse than me.

The fact that others get hurt worse than me, and are struggling more than me, is an INDICTMENT of immense proportions. Not a redemption of the systems causing it.

US citizen, here.

Dear Canadians:

I love you, and I know you love me, and our love will not falter.

I'm with you.
