Fair

I agree we are here now. Things are already collapsing.

The person I was commenting toward appeared to be all for accelerationism, regardless of who gets hurt.

And it's hard for me to tell left and right acceleration apart. Within that context.

I'm an anarchist, in action. So, I stand up to authority. But I also recognize that setting a match and burning it down is going to hurt a lot of innocents.

Not just people, other life on this planet too.

Anyway, their comment reminded me of somebody that would vote for Trump even though they are leftist just because they want to see the empire burn. Or someone who would stay home on their couch and refuse to vote for Harris for similar reasons.

Left accelerationism and right accelerationism both cause lots of vulnerable people to suffer.

Give it a break. Do you see Bernie out there doing this shit?

Maybe take his lead and look to the future instead of the past.

They already are. Montana passed an indecency bill targeting trans folks.

Project 2025 plans to make trans ideology pornography. So me being in public would be exposing a child to pornography.

I expect they will pass that within the next two years federally.

Because it's not about majority rules but the bottom line.

In other words, those 30 some odd percent could be so disgusted by LGBT content that they will cancel. Or stir shit up and cause a boycott. Where as the majority just really doesn't care one way or the other.

The majority may be vocal about this, but that doesn't matter as long as the bottom line isn't affected.

I have a different way of looking at it than a lot of folks. And I had the toss out the term big bang to reach this view.

But before I get into this, someone used a similar analogy. I'm going to take it in a different direction so please bear with me.

Take a sheet of paper, cover it in points with a fat marker. Do this until it's completely covered (actually don't, just imagine you are). Now, imagine you shrink the points. If you keep shrinking them, from the perspective of the points, the paper is getting bigger.

The big bang is the assumption that the paper is expanding. The big crunch is the idea that the paper has in the past shrunk or will shrink sometime in the future.

Essentially, I'm suggesting we throw out the paper and only concern ourselves with the points. And from that perspective, the question where is the center doesn't make any sense, because the 'paper' is only the distance between points.

GOP accusations for the last decade have been telegraphing it.

Authoritarianism

I'm not sure if the article covers it, still reading, but one of the things they want to do to disenfranchise transfoks is to require the the name on your birth certificate matches you're legal name in order to vote.

As most married women don't change their name on their birth certificate when they take their husbands last name, they would not be able to vote either.

Edit: The article does go into all of this.

The New York times uses Trump to sell copy.

Otherwise they would have said this months ago.

Fucking assholes.
