Humpty Dumpty world.

The true legacy of the Soviet Union is authoritarianism not socialism.

Talibangelicals, Covidiots and Spreadnecks like authoritarianism, support the "legitimate discourse" that killed 5 people, and would rather get their way than live in a democracy. The like liberalism where everyone has the right to... but only those they like. Like the Supreme Court Justice who refused to follow rules and wear a mask, things are all cattywampus. 

Tucker Carlson enjoys influencing people but successfully argued in court that he is not real news and merely engages in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' His argument states no reasonable person would take him seriously.

Russia has been fighting a war on information for quite a while to go on top of the literal murder they are doing in Ukraine right now. The Americans who support the freedom to murder by Russians in Ukraine fit right in with the murder cult. 

With globalization scrapped in favor of a alliances new order, we continue to not raise above our limited human views.

Meanwhile insurrectionist are still not held accountable for fear that it might seem partisand to the "non-literal" lying community.

Book banning strikes me as a perfect backfire strategy to get kids to read.

The whole project of lying and manipulating is that the right has given up debating because they lose so easily and playing head games is the only way for them to "share their opinion". The goal is to get you to avert you attention so they can continue to get away with everything.

The bipartisanship is about dividing Americans, it's unpatriotic and it's about superficial power and appearances. Look how unified the Ukrainians are. The GOP has chosen party over county and like all their other utterances, denial is confirmation. They're a red herring party, the party of obstruction and distraction. Like MTV don't play music any more, the party of Lincoln doesn't support or protect African Americans or anything else they stupidly claim, like Biden controls the gas prices or whether there is war in other countries. Their syllogisms are all wrong.

I wish we had 2 intelligent parties, the Republicans are not pushing the Democrats enough, giving them a real push to be better. They set the bar so low.

There's going to be a reckoning soon.

Democracy or democrazy?

Admittedly the choice between corrupt democrats and corrupt republicans isn't the political choice I want. I'd rather vote my way towards fairness, elimination of poverty, anti-trust laws that fight the consolidation of corporations (you read about grocery stores lately?), education, infrastructure. What you do get is a vote for democrats that vote to end rail strikes ( source ) because they can't carve out of the profits a sick leave, versus reality denying, Russian bought, obstructionists who might lower taxes, and want smaller government. The Ron Swanson's of the world who hate government and work in government. I've been running into people who believe the corrupt choices aren't worth even making. Reasons not to pay attention.I've thought that a few times in my life, but I don't think that now.  There are real choices about health care for women, and even just an attitude towards democracy. It's hard to fight past the rhetoric, and understand eve

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if  Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France.  Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder how many
