I read “Anti-Politics” by Mayweather + Forester. If you @ me to kvetch this is not a leftist book, well, I don’t limit my reads to suit YOU. Know other views if you want to argue logically. #booksky #politics #agorism #storygraph #libertarian #ancap #anarchism https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/c2c3ab97-83ab-4993-b271-9d1ae2d00956

Amazingly enough the Monday morning propaganda, um, sorry, “news,” actually took time out from spouting war porn to spout sports porn.
My bad, likely would not serve in combat arms, since trigger pullers are the smallest part of the military.
Two things: Thing 1) speaking as a (non-combat) vet, all the folks (excluding fellow vets) saying “I won’t die for Israel,” here’s a reality check: a majority of people of military age are not fit for military service. Thing 2) those who are, likely would serve in combat arms.
Getting my weekly dose of Sunday morning propaganda.. I mean news shows… and Latent Lindsey Graham is about make his usual chickenhawking. Wouldn’t expect anything different.
If TT, as they claimed before the “shutdown” in January, was indeed “CCP propaganda,” it’s someone else’s propaganda now, apparently. If you find someone trying to make a political point, and try to make a comment the app says you’re not on WiFi even when you are?

Lefties and anarchists of all stripes need to look to the past and expand their political vocabulary. Not everyone is a Nazi, a fascist, or conservative.. there’s also irredentists, revanchists, neocons, John Birchers, No Nothings, America Firsters, etc. 😁
Half an hour ago I was walking my little dog. Now it’s raining sideways. 🫤

So, can I direct deposit my Soros protest paycheck tomorrow straight to my Walmart pay account so I can have it donated to AIPAC to support to the National Guard troops that Bibi is going to ask Unca Don to protect Tel Aviv? 🤡
