  1. The beautiful thing about not wrapping your identity around any given cult, movement, or politician is the absolute liberty to say what you think, believe what you say, and do what you think.

    Liberty and freedom are not the same.

  2. “People who care about others” are the downfall of Western civilization.

    It is written.

    Per the historically-accurate Homer.

  3. apocalyptic theology + willingness to destroy existing order + no exit velocity once committed, that’s a bold strategy, Cotton

  4. There is no coherent eschatological grifting strategy that writes off trillions of military-industrial investment, in order to expel Jewish people from the Greater State of Israel in order to invite Jesus to return for the Second Coming.

    Creepy weirdos are Daesh levels of batshit insane.

  5. RE: mastodon.social/@heidilifeldma

    This is what it looks like when one cabinet-level federal government agency (the Department of Justice) throws another—Department of Interior—under the bus.

  6. What Creepy Weirdos offer is faster execution at the cost of accountability.

    Creepy Weirdos market competence more than they actually deliver.

    Is the problem that democratic #government is slow, or that it’s opaque about its slowness?

  7. It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno’s.

    It’s not you, it’s me.

    The negative parallelisms aren’t in your imagination, they’re ubiquitous for a reason.

  8. The transcendental Ineffable knows all the hairs on your head, but also has a stopwatch to measure time and needs a translator to understand prayers in a specific language.

    Okay, sure, Bob.

  9. It’s a lot easier to build strawman arguments against people who abandon reason and core values.

    Have you tried steelman arguments against someone committed to relying on first-principles?

    There’s not a lot of us.

  10. There are always creepy weirdos the law protects but never punishes and The Others™ whom the law punishes but never protects.

  11. Every political faction in America believes the same thing: everyone who disagrees with them has either been fooled or is actively working against their own interests.

    Nobody thinks the other side might believe something different, just as strongly and just as honestly as they do.

    Arian or Catholic

  13. If you think the Three-Fifths Compromise was not the start of so-called “identity politics”, then your ability to understand #American #history is retarded by your ego, heavily weighed down by sunk costs, and tightly wound up with motivated reasoning.

  14. Forgiving the broken people who raised you helps you to understand and grow.

  15. Knowledge without the power to act is sophisticated helplessness.

  16. Getting emotionally invested in political candidates is the past-time of people without serious hobbies.

    Wrapping your identity around flawed human beings will almost always blow up in your face.

    Unless experiencing continuing, on-going ego death is your happy place.

  17. The term “civil war” is a euphemism that covers up literal brutality.
