To amplify or not to amplify?

That is the question. NY Times op ed piece suggested that ignoring all the shenanigans actually promotes acceptance, ignoring.

I'm done with Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Cruz, MTG, Bobo, Gertz, Santos and Christofascist Mike Johnson. These people are beneath America. It's crazy when a Cheney, Chisty and Romney are the sane ones. They're worse than carnival barkers. Dante has the deepest level of hell for them. The strategy is to overwhelm the parent with bad behavior so some slips through. Never mind it's being in the child position as a leader. The body rots from the top, we need a better system for finding politicians besides who is the most grandiose and venial. The far right wing Christofascist are trying to sneak in behind the grifter wingbats. It's a void, and that's where revolutions come.

Not amplifying their grifts does make space for some of it to sneak by. But I don't have time to be the policeman of America, it's a crowd sourcing job.

It's an acceptable political philosophy to want less government. But blowing it up from the inside is unamerican to me. Look in the mirror those people who voted for Santos. 

And the American voters need to get their shit together and make real choices based on the options.

Musk destroyed Twitter because he didn't like the liberal voices taking down the grifts. He didn't love free speech, but people bought that bullshit easy. Musk believes in can call workers at 2am on a Monday morning. He wants society to be more like ones where stochastic violence works. Stop listening to what they say and watch what they are doing. Have a little discernment. Use that advanced animal brain to notice what is going on. I don't care if you have conservative instincts, use those too, we need people paying attention. Because what I'm seeing, America isn't paying attention with their big boy pants on.

Lots of people don't like Carter's malaise speech. They were just whining about gas prices. Look at what is going on people.

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
