  • I’m not usually known for preaching peace, as I genuinely do not believe there is a peaceful way to defeat fascism. But, now is not the time to kill anyone. Violence at this moment would be ineffective and unfocused.

    For the next four years (assuming Trump is not wholesale slaughtering us) becoming a politician would be a better use of your time than engaging in violence. For the next year or two, civic engagement (or political subversion) will have more effect than physically fighting

    However, if widespread murder of the innocent begins taking place, please disregard my peaceful message.




  • Nixon did not create the EPA out of benevolence. The normal (non-conservative and progressive) reps had been pushing for it for years and were gaining public opinion momentum on it. Nixon knew if he was able to create it on his own terms, it could be controlled and hamstrung. He did exactly that.

    Nixon allowed conservatives and the business-class (both of whom hated the EPA) to determine how the EPA would be limited. And every conservative administration since Nixon has done the same thing, using the EPA as a tool to allow corporations to do exactly as they please while telling the public that the environment is being protected.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation, and the EPA is an excellent example of that truism in action.
