THE LIFESTYLE

Holy fuck. Today has been...relentless. So must we be, I suppose. Onwards and upwards? Well, forwards at least.

I joined nostr around the time the hawk tuah meme dropped time is a flat circle

The day I take medical advice from two rotting orange reanimated corpses of nepobaby kleptocrats...well I don't know what day that would be, but I'd imagine you'd have to lobotomise me first.

The consolidation of both social and mass media under right-wing oligarchs willing to promote hate speech and restrict free speech makes me so glad that nostr exists. It also shows the inadequacy of the whole metaphor of political alignment in public discourse; politics is about grappling with principles which work through humanity even as they extend beyond human understanding. To proscribe opinions based on someone's adherence to a particular alignment is to deny freedom of thought and expression. I am perfectly happy right here with all the chuds and nazis, so long as they never waver on upholding my right to call them that. As a concession, I will admit that we are all, to a one, fascist at our cores, though I will never waver on my own assertion that overcoming our petty personal desires within the arena of politics wherever possible, elevates humanity in its most noble pursuits. Fuck the fash, antifa forever, Kirk rest in piss, freedom ain't free.

"I never thought it would happen to me!" Well, there's your problem. Next time, think "would I like it if it happened to me?", and then, if you wouldn't, then don't fucking do it, or advocate for it. If you're lucky enough to get a next time.
