  Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor Today’s rightwing leaders and their rich allies are not just taking advantage of catastrophes, shock-doctrine and disaster-capitalism style, but simultaneously provoking and planning for them. But you don’t need to be a biblical literalist, or even religious, to be an end times fascist. Today, plenty of powerful secular people have embraced a vision of the future that follows a nearly identical script, one in which the world as we know it collapses under its weight and a chosen few survive and thrive in various kinds of arks, bunkers and gated “freedom cities”. In a 2019 paper titled Left Behind: Future Fetishists, Prepping and the Abandonment of Earth, the communication scholars Sarah T Roberts and Mél Hogan described the longing for a secular Rapture: “In the accelerationist imaginary, the future is not about harm reduction, limits or restoration; rather it is a politics driving toward an endgame.” As fascism always does...

You guys are costing us a lot of money      We are defending ourselves against an aggressive attack from a ruthless maniac I know Putin and I can assure you he is just like us  He is only looking out for his people's best interest I speak for the president and the people of the United States when I say you are overreacting just as we had anticipated You seem to like the war and are looking for handouts that will continue your country's lifestyle I am not saying this  because of poor information or the inability to retain it, just a reminder that we are asking you to give up your country's mineral rights in appreciation for the generous support we respectfully gave your people for three years   Blogger: Mr. Zelenskyy, humble apologies for our elected American official's behavior

    “We have a diplomatic clown car that’s about to be rolling up at the Capitol with all these idiots waiting to be confirmed – but where’s the outrage?” But Joe Cirincione, a veteran Washington foreign policy analyst, (who made the above comment) dismissed the chances of a Senate pushback and instead condemned the Democrats…

“For a long time we had the wrong product specifications when we thought of ourselves. We humans have been under the belief that we were endowed with a beautiful machine for thinking and understanding things. However, among the factory specifications for us is the lack of awareness of the true factory specifications (why complicate things?). The problem with thinking is that it causes you to develop illusions. And thinking may be such a waste of energy! Who needs it!"  I didn't come to this conclusion on my own, illusion is a commodity necessary for creativity and can be enjoyable.  It's one of my toys and reality distractions.  When it develops a sense of its own then perceptions get fragmented.  What is real isn't so easy to realize, it is no longer a fun loving friend and can be frightening.   Because it is the holidays, believe it or not, most of us choose children's banter, dreams and good memories.  A season filled with fond delights an...

 President-elect Donald Trump’s string of controversial nominations continued this past weekend, when he announced his intention to fire his own FBI Director, Chris Wray , and replace him with Kash Patel , a loyalist who shares Trump’s desire to use the bureau as a political tool. If past is prologue, Patel may face an uphill climb to even get the entirety of his own party on board. Trump tried to appoint Patel to various posts on his first term, only to be reportedly told by then-Attorney General Bill Barr that it would happen “over [his] dead body;” then-CIA Director Gina Haspel has also reportedly threatened to resign if Patel was installed under her.    By Chris Coons December 9, 2024 7:00 AM EST Chris Coons has been a Democratic U.S. Senator from Delaware since 2010. He serves on the Judiciary, Appropriations, and Foreign Relations Committees.
