Again with the whiney stuff. Bad eyes, red hair, left-handed, ADD — where’s my crown? I have to be inbred…

Make me a person of import, but, yeah… I can get emotional.

Exactly my point. They should, but we’re still dumb. They have no souls worth shouting at.

No, I don’t get that. They stopped reporting from Vietnam and even stopped caskets from being broadcast. This is why I’m goth… sometimes people need to see. I hurts me too. That is the point. You’re supposed to be upset.

Imagine this, in my Rod Serling voice:

September 11th, 2001 – the planes strike the towers.

PlanetPov community….

yeah… give us a few days or a couple weeks before we react. We’re not sure how to feel about it all yet.

And yet I’m suppsed to give up Facebook…

With but few fringe exceptions – I was literally brought to tears how for once political parties in most cases were unified … not to say I’m kumbaya – but that for once, in this moment, Putin has unified us all — against HIM.

In the meantime, we are all on Arizona time now, Japan had a really big earthquake – and I’m sure lot’s of other things as always, but Ukraine us up there for me so: a couple of many things I’m watching…

Was actually banned again on facebook because I dunno … stevia isn’t as good as raw sugar, or it’s pop not soda… I’m losing track what my “hate speech” is anymore – when I’m the one against New Coke and for Clear Pepsi? I also think that eggshell white is superior to muted taupe and that Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth were equally proficient douchebags in their own respective ways. There’s my hate speech! Ban me here too!

Between me watching Zelensky’s address to Congress and waiting for Biden… and I’m just… WWIII looking kinda good …

When I was really young I couldn’t say my own name, due to an ear infection. I could read beyond my level – like sixth grade, when I was in 2nd. I could not say may own name, let alone communicate. I was in intensive speech therapy, but I was not in cognitive decline.

First off, the irony of Trumpists … go fuck yourselves … projection, admission, yada yada.

Biden suffered all his life with a stutter – and I will punch somebody in the fucking face if they attack his stutter one more time.

Disagree with him, but … well, what do you excpect from the right wing?

Thankfully I have screen shots that amount to nothing of me making puns and being sardonic and dry.

Perhaps I should just be, I hereby abide by your terms and conditions, which I have read, and can recite verbatim, which allow for verbal irony.

For instance, I literally am for everyone to be who they are unless they harm another being.

Sarcastically: you are a total wanker for not comprehending context and meaning and trying to code it in binary code. Or F– code? … and this was perhaps where I get myself in trouble. It’s like… I’ve had sex? Sorry?

What is the Mandela effect? Seriously, I don’t remember.

He was an ANC leader against Apartheid? I think was a thing… I’m already Boer’d.

Let me tell you about the Baader-Meinhof syndrome or Pereidolia…

I would… but the magnificent interlocutors hath made every ironic syllable of mine, quote: “Hate Speech and/or Bullying” —-

And the rage – unironic rage – that I cannot contact real life people even in private chat.

See, you might not understand this, but I have contacted with many real life people from my past and made good real friends there, also.

For instance, I owe a Facebook friend my glasses I’m wearing now. And, save for asking them all for their phone numbers every few months, what the fuck?

Of course I wish they would all just come here. But, we’ve been at this, and I believe, but I hate being banned because the algorithm doesn’t get sarcasm.

I can’t change my speech pattern or writing style, nor will I. I will not be a Twitbot.

Not fucking once have they challenged me with ANY explanation – as Zuckerberg rakes it in on his yacht. No, they can’t afford it to have real life screeners.

P.S. This was supposed to be sarcasm – do me a favor and at least get this:

Also, normally I would expect a Palestine v. Israel thing here – and that’s why I come back here. For thoughtful discussion. mean, while this Ukraine thing is going on – the world is watching. I’m not trying to point out any country. Just, found that a bit ironic – them – I mean Israel having trouble chosing sides? To be fair, the Chinese are also interesting. And, my favorite country, as you know – India – is in a very precarious situation.

This is not just about Russia and Ukraine. Putin was testing the waters. I know that’s awful, but in a future life make me a CIA analyst. I actually understand where Putin is coming from – but, well, the best chess masters were always from Armenia, and not in backwater postwar Dresden answering to the Stasi for the KGB – Putin is someone I actually respect for his resolve. He was never good. But, he used to be a better tactician. He’s overplayed his hand.

You said it not me, I’m so done with arguing…. like give me a day, and a lot of psychedelics – and we’ll have peace a lot faster. I’m kidding not kidding.

» Posted By Khirad On March 15, 2022 @ 12:11 am

You brought up Israel not me… you take that hot latke. Nope, my handle is Khirad and I’m not touching that. Okay I will… Knesset is full of Russian Jews.

And Russia and Ukraine are both full of Neo-Nazis. Yeah… like um … I just have nothing to say that we aren’t all thinking already.

» Posted By Khirad On March 11, 2022 @ 2:23 pm

I don’t know why this is their hill to die on. Like – I woke up today and just wanted my nuts knocked off. Yeah, just woke and felt like that because…. Satan. As often is the case, I’m binge watching Being Human – the BBC serial about Vampires, Werewolves, a Zombie or too, and a ghost or too.

By no means did they insert any political or social issues into the script. No, just purely supernatural and nothing deeper commentary wise, I swear. I’d stake my life on it.

I don’t really have much of an opinion on trans individuals [and am ally so forgive me nomenclature all right].

Just saw someone post a YouTube about trans people and yada yada thinly veiled fundamentalist Christian trying wy TOO hard to play it hip.

In a moment of weakness, and maybe it was lame – I just said: uh, you woke up and this was what was bothering you?

I could say that on any given day, but especially with the War on Ukraine – you’re worried about trans-women competing in sports and using other bathrooms?

I think you’re wrong and proudly transphobic [which is your right to express – I like dirty laundry aired, not smothered]… but wow, priorities? Persective?

Really says it all.

I’ve never felt cringe with trans, or whatever sexual spectrum. But, I have felt uncomfortable with people that go after others causing them no harm.

No offense but daring to be themselves and live proudly whilst you still are shackled in mind numbing domestic rituals you’re too frightened to question. Herd mentality as Nietzsche put it.

Can we not do the nuclear thing? I mean, the Chernobyl thing, and other nuclear generation sites are one thing – and legitimately scary.

But no, my limbic system is immune. If it it happens we’re all dust. There’s always a 1% that some “madman” will detonate nukes – but even the Cuban missile crisis (in 20/20 sober hindsight – was more about just not talking).

The Soviets tested the Царь-бо́мба, the largest above-ground nuclear test – I think ever? I might be wrong. But, it was so big the Soviets wanted to negotiate. Yes, it was a power play, but, after some declassified information – they kinda scared themselves.

Not to say there isn’t still isn’t enough ICBM’s to still destroy the world over twenty times over. We have a decomissioned silo north of Tucson – Titan Missile Museum. It was definitely interesting. And yes Matthew Broderick taught us how the game ends (which I suppose was more profound slightly than Rocky IV).

I of course know how scary nuclear weapons are. But guarantee you – were Iran to be at breakout stage – and eventually get one – it’s more scarey that Saudi would want some. They’re not nuking Israel ever. I can understand that fear putting myself in a Jewish person’s shoes – but I have the luxury to – however condescending – say Iran is not suicidal.

And that is why I’m not scared so much of us using nuclear weapons, as much as radioactive waste.

So here’s the thing no algorithm will never get: I hate, I hate you so much. 🙂

On the switch – it’s of course complicated.

No harm, but seriously dig into him. He is legit intelligen and I believe sincere. It’s, just, when you peel away the layers, it’s rather trite. He talks in circles.

I would like to say I started reading Nietzsche when I was fourteen and consider myself a layman expert. He likes to quote Nietzsche. As presumptuous as it sounds, I don’t think Fritz would approve of Dr. Peterson’s interpretations.

Here’s a debate where it’s hard to root for either. I’d rather have a drink with Jordan than Sam. Sam is everything that is wrong with militant atheism which is thankfully fading fast.

Whatever, showoff. Also I stupidly said Bismark, when it was Paul von Hindenburg.

1) gas is double that in Europe. We have reserves. Gas is so fickle and you didn’t mention the cold relationship whith MBS in Saudi or the conttinuining crisis in Venezuela. I’ll give you that, but nothing we hadn’t foreseen. You’re presupposing a peak oil event in amalgamation snow ball effect with the following.Like a perfect storm.

2) Even if Putin conquers Ukraine, how do you suppose he holds it? In fact, he’s not invincible. And in his 70s. It’s tragic but he’s not winning many friends. He and Lukashenko might have to retreat to Turkmenistan. Not likely, but, they were both unpopular already.

3) The GOP are bound to sweep anyway. That’s how midterms work, from a purely historical pattern of the opposition taking over in the first midterms. Par for the course. Don’t like it, hope beyond hope we can disrupt that pretty reliable happening. Americans have been under-educated forever. And guess what? We’re not the only country with iffy standards on basic civics.

4) As opposed to? Like no shit. We need to always fight back but, I’ve never known anything more certain than that corporations are gonna be fucking us over. Just a little jaded. I don’t remember it being any other way.

5) Again, um like – this is different from the 90’s militia movements or after Obama won how? Same as it ever was. And again, it sucks ass. I’m just not surprised or anything.

6) This is the one where I will share your valid concern. And should that happen, we can go back to 1-5 and I will share more of your concerns. I just don’t underestimate how wild it would get in the streets – and shooting women is never a good look for even China and other repressive regimes.

7) Again… nothing new here. In fact in my dads life – he’s 74, he never thought he’d ever be able to vote for a black president. He grew up a segregationist. In junior high I never could have imagined gay marriage. In the grand scheme of things, not even on the geological scale, but the sociological scale, we’re advancing pretty fast – if you can pull back with a wider historical lens.

8) No, censorship, like racism, is far more subtle than that. And hello, Yellow journalism? Again, nothing new. Justt a different paradigm where, we have some of the best white hat hackers.

9) Again, the only thing different is how brazen it is – and in that fact alone – it’s kinda scary [and again, go back to #6 and the judicial system]. Even the Jim Crow South knew how to bullshit better.

10) And again… as opposed to the 60’s or union busters, or… I mean, what’s new?

It is not quite like the Weimar Republic and I’ll summon the ghost of Otto Wels if I have to. BUT, the Weimar Republic is a great study in how the Left ate each other alive, paving the way for Bismark to allow for the Enabling act.

I don’t see us invoking a state of emergency.

I vaguely remember Kruschev pounding his lectern and I remember Reagan, his Jelly-Beans and Oliver North and some really fucked up shit.

Hell, we’ve been through Vietnam and Iraq and even that couldn’t crush us – amazingly enough

I’m really not feeling the doom and gloom quite. I mean, personally, I feel it all the time because clinical Depression and such. But no, I am not freaking out.

If anything I’m just pissed with Sinema and Manchin.

From Tom Ryan III – a FB friend – I wanted to flesh this out after I think about it more.

So, here he goes:

“Serious considerations of present events

Predictions (based on recent {past fifty years} historical and contemporary events):

1. Gas will go over $6.00 a gallon. The cost of transport will cause food costs to double at a minimum. Inflation will move into the double digits. The US economy, utterly dependent on fossil fuels will suffer. Individuals with gas inefficient vehicles will find themselves in dire straits, be forced to alternatives, or worse.

2. Putin will conquer Ukraine, and then turn his attention to Europe and the US in a cyber propaganda war, as well as covertly attacking US and European digital infrastructure. Significant increases in state surveillance will occur to ostensibly protect us while further eroding our 4th Amendment rights.

3. As a result, plus with the aid of Russia cyber warfare, as well as the herd mentality of most Americans who are woefully under-educated in history/civics, the GOP will sweep the midterms, setting the stage for wholesale regression and reentrenchment of extreme right wing policy.

4. Corporations will experience a boom, profiteering from intensive deregulation, and shrinking the possibility of economic security for more Americans while the 1% takes in triple digit gains.

5. Expect significant uptick in right wing extremism, especially “militias.” Ammunition for most popular calibers is nowhere to be found, and what can be bought is selling for 400-500% of what it was two years ago. It is being hoarded. Guess why? It’s not progressives and liberals in the gun shops.

6. The Supreme Court will strike down Roe v. Wade, at a minimum, marking the beginning of serious rollbacks in civil rights.

7. Marginalized communities will become scapegoats for all kinds of legislation as the right wing consolidates its gains in the legislature and state and federal courts, beyond what is happening to the trans community now.

8. Sedition will be used against the non-right wing press to muzzle them, as well as the jailing of those who choose the right of conscience over submission to the state. It will begin to appear much more as it is used to stifle political speech.

9. Expect continued voter suppression actions, essentially creating an autocratic oligarchy with democratic trappings.

10. An upswelling of protests, demonstrations, and civil disobedience against all of this by mostly younger people will see a significant increase in repression and police/state violence allied with right wing militia/gangs.

All of this has already happened. It is play-by-play of the events in the Weimar Republic from 1924-1933, with the exception of digital technology, but it is just a tool, much like the new medium of mass film was in the the Twenties and Thirties.

Fascism is not original.
Tyranny of reactionaries is not original.
It is going to be a long hard fight.”

— Professor of Modern European History, Former Military.

No you’re not supposed to like him. And this was cringe to me. Wow, you don’t know about Jordan Peterson? He’s a cause célèbre “philosopher” for the anti-woke men’s rights contingent.

» Posted By Khirad On March 5, 2022 @ 6:09 pm

I don’t know how hip y’all are to my man Jordan Peterson, but he dropped this banger of a track recently [the sarcasm…. dripping like sticky maple syrup]
