John Brennan, "ex" director of the CIA and ISIS financier extraordinaire, didn't let even one day of the new administration elapse before letting slip that the glowies are targeting their domestic political enemies. Which political ideology did he specifically call out as dangerous and inimical to democracy? Libertarianism, of course. The prospect of a libertarian populist movement, glimmers of which began to be visible in the Ron Paul campaigns, scares the hell out of the ruling caste.May it become worthy of their anxiety.

@Untersuchende I hate Kamala, but your post sounds like praise to me. There is no merit in political "merit." However, she hasn't stopped at anything to scrabble her way to the top. What other "merit" is there in politics?

@ArdanianRight I agree in part, but blind allegiance to Trump is another way to neutralize the Right. As recently as a couple months ago I wouldn't have said such a thing, but Trump made it clear that he doesn't have the fortitude to deal heavy blows to the "Uniparty" establishment when he has a chance. He squandered his last months in office, abandoning his core supporters and attempting to appease the very people who will obviously always hate him.If not loyalty to party and if not personal loyalty to Trump, then what should guide the right? That the principles of liberty would provide the vantage-point for a thoroughgoing criticism of the established power-structures, and a bulwark against sellouts and subversion, is their underlying fear. They want to neutralize right-wing populism the way they neutralized the Tea Party. To do that they must discourage the adoption of any principles that would stoke the refining fire of internal criticism.

@Untersuchende I saw a highlight reel of that one. Tulsi roasted that pig Kamala.

@ArdanianRight Chance and opportunity play a role, but for the most part movements get the leaders they deserve. A movement will have leaders with character and courage when the people of that movement recognize character, instill courage through unwavering support of right action in the face of opposition, denounce corrupt sellouts and leave the cowards behind.What's character? What's right action? Who has sold out, and what separates cowardice from prudent restraint? It's the role of principles to furnish answers to these questions simple enough for the mass movement to grasp and apply them.A rudderless movement will blunder its way into irrelevance, throwing what little power it wields behind unfit representative who mouthe empty platitudes and do nothing to advance the cause. Deliberate subversion only quickens the process.

@ArdanianRight You're right, but sound principles still mitigate this problem. Faceberg could promote a hundred bluster-cucks, but a true guiding light will show them for what they are.I do what I can to promote non-manipulative platforms that enable the free flow of ideas. "Enemy platforms" is a good way of putting it. We need to be more vituperative I think.

@GVRon We would all be better off if nobody ever pointed out any instance of supposed "hypocrisy" on the part of the ruling caste or their functionaries ever again. It's a completely ineffectual tactic. They're not hypocrites; you're just an enemy. They will make use of whatever rules are in place to vanquish their enemies — in fact they don't even need the rules. People are banned all the time on Twitter for no violation in particular. It is pathetic to beg for fairness on enemy platforms from people who want you dead. I will translate their rules for you, according to their right meaning: "Die in misery. Die in penury. Die grovelling. Die with all your progeny. Die unremembered."

@Jesushfauci Leftist totalitarians always do this. Soviet psychiatric abuses were widespread.

@halston "Animated cp" is a weaselly term since there's no child involved, and that is the crux of the matter, isn't it? No victim, no crime. No crime, no justification for the use of force. I can't give much credence to the moral proclamations of someone who thinks an artist could sketch an imaginative scene, however obscene, and thus become liable to "immediate execution."Sex crimes against children are indeed terrible, but people vying against each other to pronounce the most extreme verdicts against pedophiles, even non-offending ones, is a form of brain-dead right-wing virtue signalling.

@rat_attakk @halston "Pedophilia" refers to an abnormal attraction, not to "touch[ing] kids." Someone who says all pedophiles should be killed is absolutely endorsing thought-crime.

@rat_attakk @eee @halston I endorse violent suppression of all thought crime that makes the Earth explode. However, nobody's thoughts can make (sexually) touching kids "reasonable" just as nobody's thoughts can make the Earth explode.

@RobertCardwell This is "parallel construction" disinfo to make people believe that glowies don't already have all their Faceberg messages.

There's always debate among those who can see the ruinous political trajectory as to the motivations of those who put us on it. Those who don't see malevolence at work are quite blinkered. Those who see all malevolence at work miss some nuance. I think it varies by the individual, so here's my necessarily impressionistic brief typology of politicians. The four basic categories are malevolent, misguided, self-interested and cowardly. Some individuals are blends of the four basic types.Malevolent - Pelosi, Schumer, Crenshaw, Cheney, Newsom, Harris, Ocasio-Cortez, GrahamMisguided - Omar, Amash, GabbardSelf-interested - McConnellCowardly - Few pure typesMalevolent/Self-interested - Biden, WarrenMisguided/Self-interested - SandersMisguided/Cowardly - TrumpSelf-interested/Cowardly - Paul Ryan

Breathing is fundamental to all animate life and fire has been essential to the rise of humanity above an animal existence. Since both produce CO₂, people have a natural right to its emission. Nobody has a right to any particular state of the earth's climate system.

I wonder if they'll ever admit the Capital Hill hooligans didn't kill that Sicknick pig. The circumstances of his death must have been truly hilarious to warrant such an obvious cover-up.

If COVID19 has begun its slow transition to becoming yet another ordinary cold virus, each mutation along the way will provide a pretext for renewed panic and exercise of all the new powers so-called people have meekly ceded to governments around the world. How much subjugation can one virus justify? Resistance provides the only limit.
