Transmogrification

Fourth of July Brookfield CT

“Man, with his need for self-torture, his sublimated cruelty resulting from the cooping up of his animal nature within a polity, invented bad conscience in order to hurt himself, after the blocking of the more natural outlet of his cruelty.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social The president is the vestigial member of absolutism. Instead of deriving power from providence, the president is delivered power from an equally problematic source- the general will- a philosophical fallacy. Co-existence and absolute independence are incompatible concepts

Evidence Evidence; its object is very specific, but its definition is constantly expanding, rendering it vague. Since Aristotle, evidence was something ascertained by experience. Experience is a very wide domain.

Greg Bovino is the most reprehensible sack of shit to crawl out from under a rock. He said that making choices is the essence of freedom and that we must face the consequences of our choices, choices the conditions of which he will decide.

Where are the January 6er's? Where are the 2nd amendment "don't tread on me" fanatics? Where are the active shooters who would walk into a school or church and shoot everyone? Where are the losers who've never done an honest day's work in their lives? They are all now in ICE.

There's no denying it. Trump Miller Noem Bovino Bondi They want a massacre

The Zombie Apocalypse If you exercise your 1st or 4th amendment rights you're a domestic terrorist. Dead or alive. Kash is jetting around with his girlfriend.

Trump is using taxpayer's money, to buy a private army of murderers, to be used on taxpayers.

ICE Policy Shoot first. Don't ask questions. We'll answer the questions later.

ICE isn't going after the worst of the worst. ICE IS THE WORST OF THE WORST.

How many more Minnesotans have to be murdered before Walz activates the national guard? ICE has drawn first blood. Untrained thugs cannot be allowed to murder protestors indiscriminately.

DHS can't come up with any explanation for the murder in Minneapolis today other than, comply or die.

The DHS spin about the ICE murder in Minneapolis today will be predictably nauseating.

A dozen untrained thugs couldn't subdue one man so they shot him. We have become a living nightmare.

Every republican that remains silent about the shooting today in Minneapolis is a fucking murderer.

The intensifying concentration of global wealth will result in a cataclysmic implosion. Economic unsustainability. The accumulation of unlimited wealth is a relation the terms of which never meet in endless regress. We are staring into the abyss with our gaping eyes tightly shut.

Cultural Values Is there anything we can all agree with? Are humans such contrarians that no matter what position one takes on an issue there will always be someone to take up the opposite? The Sophists were proud that their profession required them to argue either side of an issue,

20,000 years before the Vikings explored the North American coastline Asiatic tribes began crossing the Bering land bridge eventually occupying the entire North and South American continents.

Trump lied his way into the white house. He then broke every one of his campaign promises. Broke every law in the constitution. Committed international crimes. And the demented jackass thinks the world respects him for it.

Whence Evil Dwells Humankind emerges from a condition of necessity into that of contingency. Good and evil depart their common ontological ground. Contingency is the realm of relations.

@birdlives1.bsky.social You have impeccable taste in music. I love jazz. I've had the wonderful fortune to see Duke, Miles, Dizzy, Sonny, Art, to name a few. Most recently Joshua Redman with Gabrielle Cavassa and Paul Cornish.

Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, and Göring, all committed suicide because they knew that their crimes were so heinous that there was no end for them except at the end of a rope. Göring only cheated the hangman by hours. Goebbels also murdered his wife and six children.

Trump is a senile narcissist who is using the US military to enrich himself. His delusions of grandeur are fueled by the fact that up until now he has gotten away with everything. The proceeds from Venezuelan oil go into his own private account. His promises aren't worth half a pinch of shit.

"In opposition there is agreement; between unlikes, the fairest harmony." -Heraclitus

Incubus

Trump used the military in Venezuela to acquire personal wealth. He wants to do the same in Greenland. His delusions of grandeur are fortified by the fact that thus far, he's gotten away with everything. If Europe capitulates to avoid world war they haven't learned anything. Munich 1938.

Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral was on his way around the horn of Africa when he was blown off course and crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean landing in what is now Brazil, claiming it for Portugal. His voyage took him to 4 continents, the first person to do so.

CIVIL DEMOCRACY Vertical checks & balances not horizontal among a higher echelon of power 1 house legislature/term limits/biennial elections Executive council with rotating chair Independent department of judication No party role in national politics Public Oversight Civil bureaucracy NO PRESIDENT

There is a difference between producing an increase in value of the variables of production and producing an increase in the value of your own financial worth. The latter is the reason why the balance between individual freedom and universal equality is observed in the breach.

Klingon Bird of Prey

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophia are assassinated setting in motion the self-inflicted conflagration of WWI. Two months later at the battle of Tannenberg the Russian Imperial Army suffer a staggering defeat to a much smaller German force.

Never in a million years would I have imagined that when World War 3 finally arrived the United States would be on the wrong side.

The Deification of the Gun Firearms have played an integral part in American history ever since the conquistadors arrived with a handful of primitive cannons. They brought other weapons as well; horses, body armor, and the silent killers of viral infection; smallpox, measles, and influenza.

During the 18th century most of the world was being carved up into colonies by the European powers. Spain had gotten a big head start, but by 1700 the Spanish empire had reached its zenith and the Spanish monarchy had inbred itself into imbecility.

The, “general will,” was another rational construction brilliantly formulated by Locke. On paper it sounds reasonable; a consensus-at-large that reflected a majority opinion of the test population. Analogous to adding together a quantity of random numbers,

John Locke begins his, Second Treatise of Government, describing humankind as born into a state of perfect freedom and equality, “without asking leave or depending upon the will of any other man.”

Trump, Miller, and all the rest of the traitorous thugs want us to believe that it's a fait accompli. They must be challenged relentlessly every day. They will learn they are wrong.

Does anyone at this point have any doubts about Trump being a Russian asset? Putin in his wildest dreams couldn't have imagined a better outcome.
