The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

Live Learn Life Love Die Dust Gone NWI/Chicago My blog is truly inconsistent. I like punk, animals, teaching, nerd shit and writing essays.

There’s a lot of significant bummers in the #positivity tag. It’s more like #depressing, which apparently is tagged together a lot. I just needed something to cheer me up after reading too many trump things. But I mostly found things about depression and eating disorders. On to puppy videos I guess?

THIS is the person trump claimed is going to “protect America,”…… this should honestly scare anyone who has a sense of basic human decency,  the president of the U.S should not be willingly letting people like this back into the real world.

“I've got a list of names and yours is in red underlined” Millennials on all the things!

One of the effects of nationalist thinking is a loss of a sense of proportion. The killing of 2,300 people at Pearl Harbor becomes the justification for killing 240,000 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The killing of 3,000 people on September 11 becomes the justification for killing tens of thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Showing how to be good comrades, hundreds of anti-racist protestors turn themselves in en mass to flood the system in solidarity with Takiyah Thompson who was arrested for assisting in the toppling of this confederate statue:

Can you imagine if you’re a Jew living in Germany and there’s all these images of the Nazi past that you’re just supposed to accept as somebody celebrating their culture? ‘So how do I get to the store?’ ‘Just go down Goebbels Lane and it’s right by Mengele Parkway… It’s at the Hilter Auditorium. You know where that is, right?’ COULD YOU IMAGINE HAVING TO LIVE WITH THAT SHIT EVERY DAY JUST THROWN IN YOUR FUCKING FACE?!? That’s what Confederate symbolism is for blacks living in the South. That’s what it feels like, you guys. You have to understand that.

A little international perspective on neoliberalism and our US healthcare system.

Under the leadership of the Democratic Leadership Council (aka Third Way), today’s “Democrats” are the moderate Republicans of the 1990s. Please recognize that centrism (aka neoliberalism) is simply a more gradual, incremental concession to conservatism, but still a concession.

[ever-is-deactivated20180225]

No wonder they don’t teach us global modern policies

[realraven-blog]

Thus I don’t identify with being a democrat.Cause as a whole it’s far too conservative for me. Radical ideas have no place with the fence walkers that call themselves liberals.
