  • This right here is what infuriates me the most. They got time for "populism" if it's fucking astroturfed bigotry but not if it's a groundswell of real grass roots sentiment that is against genocide.

    They're so deeply cynical.

  • They'll never know what it was like carrying your lunch in a rain bucket along with a pocket full of sassafras candy and unfiltered cigarettes as you hitchhiked on old flatbeds hauling hay and corn meal to the last men still grazing the alpine meadows as autumn started to turn ten toes toward winter.

    Why back in those days we'd sit on the hay and laugh raucously, using our Smartphones to look up pictures of Jar Jar's cock, balls, and anus. Not a care in the world.

  • Putin, residing in Moscow

    I'm having trouble understanding why he chose to emphasize the Russian leader being in the capital of Russia. Is it because Trump is in Florida all the time? I'd rule a country from a remote location. Like a sick island hideout with jetski ramps and soda machines. We could drink rum out of coconuts and talk like pirates. We'll rule from international waters. Nobody can call the cops.

  • It's true that everyone should be helping out the social whole to the best of their ability but to measure that solely in their ability to do a job making capitalists money then your measurement stick is fucked to begin with.

    In a vacuum sure people should share the burden. They, we, have a responsibility to do that. Not fulfilling that responsibility could be called lazy. The idea that a job shows social worth is rooted in the assumption that the job benefits society. That any job does, really.

    At the same time if my job is making mustard gas at the death factory then how am I helping society? If my job is selling candy to pre-diabetic kids does me not being lazy cancel out the social deterioration my job causes?

    Proponents of capitalism are not qualified to discuss what laziness is because they can't tell the difference between benign and malign activities so long as they make money.

    Further, from a Marxist sense, telling someone they are lazy because they don't volunteer themselves into a relationship where the bulk of their labor value is siphoned off so the money can sit in the Cayman Islands or whatever is laughable.

  • In traditional Catholic views Pride is actually closer to blasphemy/apostasy than anything else. By taking "pride" in your accomplishments you reject the alternative: thanking God. You're tacitly saying God wasn't involved. You pair that up with the idea that all non-Christian religion is rooted in primordial satanic trickery. You get the idea that pride is akin to rejecting God and doing self worship because you aren't worshipping God and being humble. Satan is everywhere God isn't. But Satan can only be where God isn't and being unholy is doing bad so Satan only really exists in bad choices people make and not acknowledging the primacy of God in all things is a bad choice and therefore the sin of pride.
