Takes some time to wash the silt of the times, from my soul.

Also, the whole fast pace / no rest / ultra productive mindset has been around for eons, basically the rich don’t believe the poors are entitled to any rest, relaxation or even just taking time with things, because that takes away from the money you’re making them, so therefore you’ll see that sentiment, seeded into culture, consistently, (I can’t for the life of me think of the current buzz words this early in the morning, and sans coffee). There’s always new buzzwords for it. Read any “I can do this faster than you” as them, the bourgeois, ordering you back to work.

I hate “don’t want to label them” with a vengeance of a thousand suns. It says so many fkd up things in those few words.

I heard a take today that it’s a purposeful provocation, in an attempt to elicit the ability to use martial law, I assume to keep himself in power. He needs the people to revolt, with violence. I dunno what I think about it.

Does anyone really believe it was ever about protecting the kids? I thought it was super obvious it’s about mass surveillance. It’s so they can link a database of *exactly who is saying what. And then do something evil af with that info, yeah? It’s just being poorly framed as “protecting kids” so no one can object, then they look like they don’t “care about kids”. Even though there’s so much proof it doesn’t help kids. What would help kids is parents who are able to be with their kids, rather than have to work fingers to bone to just scrape by. They could do information packages for parents, informing them of the risks and how to mitigate, as has been done before. This empowers no one, even if you believe their whole diatribe.
