  • Easy, bud.

    You had two bad options in front of you and used your sense of right and wrong to choose the one that would hurt the least number of people and who wasn’t a cartoonish villain. It was the right thing to do given the circumstances. The wrong thing would have been to be “right” and claim “both sides” as the excuse for further enabling a literal fascist.

    If you really want to beat yourself up over the fact that your options were bad then by all means, be my guest, but don’t come at me like I was saying that being a moderate is some great thing.






  • Met a homeless guy once who had had his jaw broken over some change. Even he was able to go to the hospital to get fixed up. It didn’t solve his myriad other problems but at least even he could get that taken care of.

    Any system which would have turned him away should be burned to the ground and the people who built said system should have the flesh flayed from their bones, slowly.

    That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:

    • One dead asshole, hell yea.
    • That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
    • A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
    • A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
    • One step in the right direction.

    Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.



  • This isn’t going to be the last thing they do. The entire thing would set a precedent that they’re ok to destroy things that even might disagree with them. And because their reason is based in hating anything not far-right they’re not going to anything about the fact that any vacuum left will taken over by more and more far-right media.

    I also don’t have many nice things to say when media outlets go soft at times when they should just do their damn jobs but this isn’t the time. This is your government trying to censure any ideas that disagree with them. Here in Canada the Conservatives are equally trying to defund the CBC, and not terribly left-leaning outlet but one that isn’t terribly right-leaning either, just kinda frustratingly neutral when bad people do shitty things.

    This isn’t going to be a win. This isn’t a rare moment where values are aligning.
