I Am Antifa

Can we put all the world's billionaires on a deserted island with weapons and provisions, tell them the last one standing gets all the others' money, and let them go all Hunger Games on each other?

Here’s hoping - we won’t survive this year without more TF subscribers however. Spread the word

Pacification isn't peace. It's delayed retributive violence.

Is it really a free market when entire systems are designed to profit from human weakness?

In a world without borders, there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant.

Maybe, just maybe, if we all started looking after each other despite our differences and religious beliefs, maybe the world would be a much better place? 👇💙🙏 Well done @london.gov.uk 🙌👏👏

I would say one of my biggest successes in life was losing my fear of appearing to be perfect. I'm not afraid to be imperfect, or to forgive myself for being so. In that cycle of imperfection and forgiveness, I've become stronger. I've learned how to be better, and how to avoid mistakes of the past.

@bradleyonishi.bsky.social I doubt you'll see this. But regarding your episode about Talarico, while I agree he's not Christian Nationalist, the phrase I've been using to describe him is "Christian Supremacist."

President Donald Trump has no sense of, nor any respect for, established boundaries, public or private. That should have been the lesson we took from the Access Hollywood recording. We all should be ashamed and fearful that we've handed such immense power to such an individual.

People just want to live their lives, and these fucking elites with greed and grudges keep launching wars at each other that cause us to die. These elites should not be allowed to rule us any more. Fuck their greed. Fuck their grudges. Make them fight each other instead. I stand with all peoples.

Life's absurdities often surprise people. To keep from being one of those people, remember this: There are things in life that it's important to take seriously; but don't take life seriously.

Let's change some terminology: Instead of "Global warming" let's call it "Global energizing." Instead of "illegal alien" or "undocumented alien", let's call them "unauthorized visitors." Instead of "religion" let's call it "socially reinforced adult make believe."

You call me "woke"? If that means I respect other people's boundaries, that I demand an end to government sponsored cruelty, that I think every person gets to thrive, for whatever that means for them, then I wear that "woke" label as a badge of honor.

Hey, Donald, your daddy still doesn't love you!

If I could describe Marjorie Taylor Green's politics, I would call her a "bluepublican."

Altruism is the antidote to the disease of capitalism.

I find it amusing that those religious conservatives in charge who want Americans to increase the birth rate would have to admit that we humans are animals, since declines in animal populations are usually the result of declines (perceived or real) in resources for rearing offspring.

Is it time for an Amazon diet in 2026?

99.999% of humans want to get along with each other. But those few who pursue power will use the uncommon or unique actions of the 0.0001% to paint in a bad light 100% of whatever group is the target of the power hungry. Reality: two Muslims committed terrible harm, while billions of Muslims didnt

I said it in a reply, but I think it deserves it's own post: Nobody should be on the receiving end of harm simply because they've fallen victim to bad ideas.

Today I'm reading an obituary with pleasure.

The question nobody is asking Republicans is the most simple: How is this shutdown making life better for most Americans?

I look at people who tell me who's to blame for a problem, instead of fixing it, as children or people of low moral character.

Shittles

To understand America, you have to know two things: The first American colonists were religious nutbags that had been kicked out of two European countries. The national anthem is a racist war poem penned by a slave-owner defending lawyer, set to an old English drinking song.

Dehumanizing language is a precursor to genocide.

Dehumanizing language is the first step towards genocide. They'll be building camps by late 2026 for anyone who voted Democrat in the midterms.

I have to say, I, for one, wouldn't mind my tax dollars going to pay for the health care of an undocumented immigrant. #shutdown

It occurred to me that the right that's ultimately protected by the First Amendment is the right to be wrong. Have the wrong ideas? Wrong speech? Wrong religion? Wrong news stories? The FA drives us to forgive those wrongs, instead of using govt to "correct" them.

Why I hate Trump, without using insults or policy decisions: 1. He has no respect for boundaries, be they personal, political, or societal 2. He refuses to update his knowledge base with new information. (e.g. Low-flow toilets) 3. He lacks credibility (e.g. "I know more," "people are saying")

The problem with political violence isn't the politics, it's the violence. We've created for ourselves a society that celebrates using violence to solve problems, and then steeped ourselves in an ocean of guns that makes that violence easy to perpetuate. Maybe there's a better path to peace.

I am Antifa!

So much trauma bound up in such an angry, vengeful person. Just how badly did his daddy hurt him growing up?

I'm going to make the dangerous, terroristic claim that I'm pro-democracy. #antifa

I'm atheist, which means I don't buy into the thinking that there are gods, powers, entities, or events that most religious types might label as "supernatural." But there's another aspect: whenever I'm exposed to a religion's history, writings, and teachings, all I see is an expression of humanity.

Sympathy: "Oh, wow, that sucks you broke your leg." Empathy: "I know if I broke my leg, I'd want people to bring me food, run my errands, and help around the house. I should do that." Some people (like Charlie Kirk) seemed to have difficulty differentiating between these concepts.

This is one step away from three dystopia that Orwell tried to warn us about. It could quickly go from "you're hating on him too much" to "you're not cheering him on enough."

Even Hitler only had ideas and speeches...until those were put into action.

Words cannot describe the depth of my indifference to Charlie Kirk's death.

I'm just so indifferent to the Charlie Kirk killing.

Is Charlie Kirk's 15 minutes up yet?

Charlie Kirk was a Nazi. Stephen Miller is a Nazi. Russell Vought is a Nazi. Curtis Yarvin is a Nazi. Leonard Leo is a Nazi.

It should have been Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Leonard Leo, or Curtis Yarvin instead.

Why shoot him? He's a powerless idiot who doesn't matter at all.

Anyone who seeks shelter under the wing of a strongman at the expense of protecting the vulnerable is, in my eyes, a coward and a weakling. This means you, #ICE
