That’s valid! More than valid it’s necessary. Show resistance against weak DNC libs AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, but possible ends when it’s time to vote. Then always choose the option that is best or, if necessary least damaging.
If you don’t vote against the biggest fascist, you are helping fascism along.

Yes! Primaries primaries primaries.
Go and primary every single DNC candidate that isn’t good enough, get better democratic candidates wherever you can. Put even more energy into primaries than into the election itself! But when the decision comes down to Churchill or Hitler, you better vote for fucking Churchill.
Everything else is just throwing the minorities and the future under the bus as a cost of doing business.

Ghandi was non violent and unarmed. But he WAS NOT peaceful. His protests were absolutely poison for the colonial economy and he broke several laws and had stints in prison during his time.
- Comment on But bro please 2 weeks ago:
You can be non-peaceful and be non-violent.
Disturb the fucking peace, you don’t need a gun for that. In fact having a gun with you might make things more dangerous.
Nobody is shooting at ICE, weapons do not help. They only make you feel like you are prepared while achieving nothing.
Now, spiking tires with nails, a car breaking down, blocking the street ICE wants to take, punching a nazi… that’s way more effective, easy and (slightly) safer.
Fuck “the right to bear arms”, you don’t need legal weapons, do illegal shit, fuck their peace up. Do not let them sleep, eat or work. Be disturbing the peace, be gay, do crime. You do not need weapons, you don’t need violence, you do need to step out of line and stop being peaceful.
Peaceful can be ignored.
Look to the yellow vests in France for inspiration.

Yes but it basically invented that plot form.
- Comment on Anon discusses cinema. 4 weeks ago:
I actually dig that question. I mean it’s impossible to be slop and quality, but the underlying idea of “movies that became popular because they simply were good” I like.
Movies that (at the time of the shooting) have no star actors, well-known directors and do not build on a world/lore that is already well established with a big fan base (like LOTR). Movies that are just good because the work is phenomenal and nobody who walked into the movie when it came out could have predicted this.
It’s okay when people became stars because of that movie, but only if the movie was liked before they became stars. It’s also okay if the genre was already popular, I don’t think there’s ways around that for many movies given the limited number of genres.
For me this is Rashomon, the movie that (later) catapulted Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune into stardom, It is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and among the most influential movies from the 20th century.

True, the guy who killed Hitler was basically Hitler himself.

Fish is not a valid cladistic term. Birds are reptiles in the same way that people are vertebrates would be about equivalent and correct.
- Comment on Anish Kapoor 2 months ago:
Explanation for the people out of the loop:
Anish Kapoor has secured the exclusive rights to Vantablack in Art, meaning other artists are not allowed to use it.
He was critizised heavily by painter Stuart Semple, who told Kapoor to #ShareTheBlack. Semple in turn created the “world’s pinkest pink,” alongside the “world’s most glittering glitter.” And the license for those state that both can be purchased by anyone in the world, except Anish Kapoor.

Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.
Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.
Bird cladistics is wild!

This happened to me too, not because she was nagging and shit like that, but because I started to feel good about myself, like myself even and became more confident and so I started to take care of myself.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 3 months ago:
And with juuuuust a tiny bit more sugar so the bacteria in your mouth can create more acid to bathe your teeth in way longer than the water remains in your mouth, nice.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 3 months ago:
The level of pH difference we’re talking about here is negligible. You’re constantly bathing your teeth in your (slightly acidic) spit and swallowing your spit all the time, the very few moments your teeth come into contact with slightly more alkaline water have no lasting influence. Plain tap-water (also slightly alkaline with a pH of ~7.5 in most of the US) would have the very same effect.
Brushing your teeth after a meal and abstaining from sugary drinks is where the difference is at, Everything else is talking about if Mount Everest is higher when you place a grain of sand on top… technically yes, but no.
- Comment on Coal Miners With Black Lung Say They Are ‘Cast Aside to Die’ Under Trump 4 months ago:
When Trump says he’s a friend to miners, he’s just keepung them quiet while selling them out to the big mining corps and damaging renewables for the big oil companies.
When he says he’s a friend to farmers, he’s just keeping them quiet while selling them out to argentinian fascists and the big agro-corps.
When you are working class, Trump was never your friend, the republicans aren’t your friends and the industry is not providing jobs for but exploiting you.

Charlie Kirk wears a lot of the blame for the existence of guys like the jubilee fascists, he was a perpetrator of stochastic terrorism and increasing right-wing extremism.
I’m not saying he deserved to be shot, but he did not want and doesn’t get any empathy from me.
