Interviewer: Margaret Atwood, what are your thoughts on the trend in the US?

Atwood: I’m Canadian

Oh, they do trickle down on ya! Not with what want ya though

I bet those sales douches are happy with the bonuses they will get.

I don’t like sales dudes.

It would work out to be a bit of mutually assured murder of their families.

Thugs A and B are never allowed to know each other.

If thug A decides to kill oligarch A, and then travel a long distance to aid thug B in killing oligarch B, then they could likely fail, because oligarchs A & B worked out a means to communicate their proof of life to each other. Many ways to do that, including dedicated messengers. If oligarch B hasn’t received a timely proof of life, then they murder thug A’s family and tell thug B that their family is in danger from outsiders overtaking bunker A. Thug B will likely travel to bunker A.

The thugs would have to collude. A major goal of the oligarchs will be placing many obstacles against collusion.

their families all held hostage in the bunker as well

Now, someone is starting to think like evil.

Better yet would be some cooperation between remote bunkers, where family for workers of bunker A are held far away in bunker B, and vice versa.

What??? That makes no sense.

Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?

You are right in that “idiot” is the wrong word, but I am too much of an idiot to know the correct term for individuals who can be the masters of all knowledge and science, yet bring harm to others based on groupthink because they just want to play with others in their small part of the world. They destroy countless better futures.

Narauko explained my meaning very well.

I truly understand the benefits of communities evolved from religious associations. I love that stuff! I would bet that nearly 100% of humans love that stuff. It is truly beneficial, but often, only for that group, because they are too susceptible to ingroup/outgroup dynamics causing them to do harm to outsiders.

… eventually, in the rest of the world.

My dad isn’t religious, but in his stupid mind, the US is a Christian country. He views all Muslim nations as our natural enemies.

P.S. fuck all Christians and Muslims; their idiocy ruins us

Oh, my dad will hear about it through his friends and talk radio. He will internalize that we need to die for it.

Then later on he’ll express that he hopes they don’t fell the remaining old growth trees in the local park. The MAGA workers there hate the leaf cleanup that they unnecessarily do. They have felled many old growth hardwood trees with disdain. Then I have to explain to him again that the primary group of people who want to preserve those trees are going to be killed by him and people like him.

No Dad, you won’t have nice things. You dumb shit!

Oh, absolutely! He will stumbling blocks thrown at him from every which way. And then his lack of progress will be pointed at by the propagandists: “look at this Democratic Socialist who did nothing! Blah blah muslim blah blah blah”

The power of self-deception is incredible

Adams is a dickhole collaborator. I’m surprised the contract was only around $600k. How much so you think Adams got on top?

I wish Mamdani the best. There’s so much happening to be able to ingest it all, but so far he seems genuine. My natural glare of “what SHIT are you up to!??” has so far yielded nothing; Good. More!

Good! Fingers crossed it stays out of any political lens.

A Minnesota man:

“Luigi, come with me, we need you!”

I don’t think any of us have any had therapy. I haven’t. Some inner voice keeps telling me it won’t be useful enough for the hassle and liability of finding a therapist that is really therapeutic for me. Dumb reason probably, but it is such a strong force in my thinking for some reason.

Makes sense.

I recently tracked down a 2a against tyranny type who I knew decades ago. I wanted to get his take on current events.

He is in prison for child porn, so maybe you’re right.

I love people like her. She reminds me of my cousin. The level of dedication to the wellbeing of her kids is unreal to me.

Deciding not to have children, because we can’t meet some ideals, seems a common trait with childhood trauma. I didn’t have a maliciously abusive upbringing, but a neglectful one. My siblings and I also have strong feelings against having kids.

You are a good person to encourage getting passion back into people’s lives. There are too many of us who feel like we are those nested matryoshka dolls; a shell of a shell, of a shell, with our passions replaced by empty depression.
