It is very difficult for Americans to understand that their culture has collapsed (when you are in the thing, what you see are weeds). All of your institutions have failed. Your leadership is far, far more focused on protecting pedophiles than on protecting your families. Your war mongering has failed us. Your economic paradigms leave us homeless and hungry. Your educational structures have little connection to actual sustainable work. Your environment is a poisonous ruin. Your media is an aristocracy. The rich feel no connection to the poor except to enslave them. Your tech billionaires are menacing. Your religions are lies and all of them are about greed and real estate. Your justice system is based on whatever you can afford to buy. Your political class just robs you blind. Your thinkers are demanding you have more children. Your infrastructure is rot. Your housing is a mammoth homeless shelter. Immigration policy is the gun and the concentration camp. Your SCOTUS squishes you with its iron fist as it laughs at your constitution. You cannot feed your kids. Your culture has betrayed you. You can't go to doctors because you cannot afford the co-pays. Dementia haunts everything and we do not know why. Your car is as expensive as a house used to be. Inflation is eating you alive. Where is the evidence you can put anything right. AIDS and Ebola are knocking on your door. Americans are impotent. Your friends have left the building. Opulence versus hope. Hope will not win.

I am a dirt bag, too. I want Graham Platner as President. Graham Platner is not a suit. I would vote for him on that basis alone. I would vote for Caligula if he could take the Toad's legacy and burn that legacy into the nuclear ground and let it sizzle. Platner is no democrat. The democrats will do everything in their power to stop someone, anyone, who is not an official suit. Enough with the suits. What have they done for anyone. Name me one good thing the suits have done for anyone. The democrats pretend to represent workers like me. Don't even make me laugh. Platner makes the republicans nervous. The democrats are too stupid to be nervous regardless of some misleading AI headline in the New York Times. The Toad era will end. The legacy will be vulnerable. "Shut this white house down." Shut it down and bury the mess and the stink of it in a hole deeper than the Grand Canyon. I want to know how much money he has stolen from the people. I want to see the photographs of the inside of the concentration camps even if the New York Times refuses to publish them. I want to know if there have been insecticide deliveries to the concentration camps. I want a president who would never, ever, ever build a concentration camp. I want a leader who can get past his own tattoo. I think I found one. I am a dirt bag, too.

Why homo sapiens would bring children into a world like the one we are forced to inhabit. Is crazy. Politics notices child care. Wow. Question: Isn't it like 5,000 years too little, too late. Name me one good thing about human life on this planet. Why would you bring a child into it. It's selfish. It's mean. And there we have it. Cruelty. The species eats its young. We live in a murderous society ruled by the violence of one man who hates children and will rule over them by keeping them on the verge of illness and starvation. Mommies and daddies cannot fix this. They do what they are told. Have a baby. The rich are going to need more slaves. Parents are thinking only about themselves. No baby is going to fill your emotional emptiness in a world gone mad. In fact, your human emptiness is a bottomless pit. And you think that is just fine and why not have ten kids. The real issue is not child care. It's physics. It's about size, mass, and complexity. You have ruined the earth. Your culture is collapsing. Having children is the problem. The problem is not the answer. You are being squeezed into irrelevance. Bringing down population size is the only option. Conservatives want more babies because conservatives are wealthy and they want you to bear the costs while you are developing slaves for them to abuse. That is how I see it. Abortion should be celebrated. Make the rich clean their own toilets. What are you parenting your children for. The future is slavery.

Digital comment sections mix global news reactions with mundane personal anecdotes and localized grievances. The scribes and priests had a monopoly on hieroglyphics inside the temple. Walk around to the back of the temple and look at what the graffiti says (fuck the pharaoh). Among other pleasantries. Everybody fucking lies to make their point. I have not lived a life the readers at the New York Times would even recognize as a life. Usually paint, carved stone, or digital. The power of comment moderation is that you get to kick off the voices that you do not like, and no one knows because comment moderation does not comment on comment moderation. I have spies. I wish I needed them. I get letters from the NYT Comment Boss that I am not allowed to comment on comment moderation. Which is exactly what I then go out and do. Usually paint, stone, or digital.
