I Respect Your... (1/19/2024)
my responses (1/21/2024)
AlphaCentauriOrBust (1/20/2024)
basics aspire to be what they're not:
immortal, God, superhuman,
at any cost,
never mind the truth
TheRealKW (1/20/2024)
it takes one to know one, after all, everybody knows I'm the @sshole

&teamnevergiveup, nevergivein, neversurrender
IamNoOnesBasic12 (1/20/2024) 'Words for your thoughts.'
apex predators eat prey 'when they find them' and prey are eaten 'when they are found' and...
this primer as to 'how the food web works' is for... '[my] thoughts'?
thank your elementary school teachers for your rudimentary grasp of 'nature'
and for peaking at elementary school, shame on your post-secondary teachers for a waste of a good education
ThornsWithoutPricks (1/20/2024)
there is the half of the formula that is 'listlessness' and
there is the half of the formula that is:
'reasons' that fuel the rise of dominators,
that fail to subject said dominators to proportionate consequences,
that instead, support said dominators
with everything to burn everything to the ground
for 'reasons' are as spiritless as 'listlessness'
SifIsLovingNorway (1/20/2024) 'God does not live in you'
as if lying, defrauding, and deceiving
to manifest riches, power, and influence
is
God living through basics who @sshole

TheRealTommieH (1/20/2024) 'a place at the table'

Sneaker (1/20/2024) 'the one... we feed'
I appreciate this way of painting 'what is happening?!'
thank you
BenLewis (1/20/2024) 'Watch for'
might as well say ' watch for the being human'
HeraldOutOfUs (1/20/2024)
but 'the devil we know' is not quite 'what is happening', is it?
rather,
a terror of imagined evil is as driving a force as a commonplace fear of commonplace criminality,
such that the latter no more induces '[listlessness]' than the former
instead, both terror and fear drive action
in tandem with cultivated disaffection and disillusion, the former 'becomes' violently motivated
while the latter 'comes to believe' that inaction is a real answer to disengagement and nihilism
which is to say, in the end,
dumpster fires 'use' both action and inaction to architect 'what is happening'
SofiaTheFirst (1/20/2024)
'now choices' indeed

imagine
not being a link in a chain that shackles
December 20th, 1860 to January 6th, 2021
imagine
not being an extremist
because one denounces one insurrection once
my, what imagination!
IsraelNoMoreNoLess (1/20/2024)
that you have chosen 'a sharp axe'
as your instrument for felling 'lies and deceit'
speaks to your embrace of justification
case in point:
is 'a sharp axe' swung against your 'lies and deceit'
courage before fear? or justification?
FrederickTheGreat (1/20/2024) 'the bill of regret'
'regret'? hah, an @sshole that feels repentant is a fiction
ACaptain (1/21/2024)
basic is as basic does is not 'ironic'
WatcherInTheWoods96 (1/21/2024) 'I dreamt last night and woke up crying.'

EdwardsJohnThirdFour (1/21/2024)
basic is as basic does is not 'curious'
LuthMyMart (1/21/2024)
sooo... blatherers are responsible for blathering and...
'[democracy flourishes and survives]' because... 'a universal truth' of blathering...?
or &pompousprattlers, &knownothings, and &wannabes are exceptions?
HanzelWithoutGretal (1/22/2024)
the arrogance of 'truth-believers' is believing
that being inoculated from lies, frauds, and deceits is believing:
'I believe, therefore it is so; it is so, therefore I believe'
as if God living through basics who @sshole is the truth
but the truth living through me, for example, is 'pure evil'

Stand in My Way (2/1/2024)
my responses (2/13/2024)
HeimdallAvatar (2/13/2024) 'in this moment forever... I stand'
in this moment forever,
we stand
I love you dear, I love you there, I love you here, I love you where
love blooms in song
reply to above by TheRealKW (2/13/2024) 'We all hate... you.'
this... is a compliment...?
AlphaCentauriOrBust (2/13/2024) 'I know, you know, we know'
indeed, narrators of fake reality are neither champions nor saviors
ACaptain (2/13/2024) 'lines... are... dust'
it is easy to say what one does not really live
case in point: evangelism
it is hard to believe what is true
case in point: the truth living through me
AltVikingen (2/13/2024) 'havets og jordens sang'
such song fra nu til for evigt is beautiful
Sneaker (2/13/2024) 'using stupid lines to justify your lack of passion for anything that is not you'
stupid lines have become justification
for an unbelievable sum of actions and inactions
ThornsWithoutPricks (2/13/2024) 'so you can stick your head in [the lines in sand] and pretend'
indeed, there is a distinction between
(a) action that creates action and (b) action that is reacted to
such that too often, (b) is confused with (a)
case in point: a speech and a rally that insurrects is (a) and
justice for engaging and aiding and comforting such insurrection is (b)
NewestAgeProphet10 (2/13/2024) 'stuck with... reality'
zealous 'line erasers' are also zealous 'line drawers'
for such zealots, there is no reality that '[one finds oneself stuck with]'
reality is the story one tells oneself

HopelessEternityForAll (2/13/2024) 'help us make [cultures positive ones]'
such ask is a hard pass

such ask is a no-brainer

SifIsLovingNorway (2/17/2024)
when lines in the sand and hills to die on are what's 'real' and what's 'true',

Manungal (2/17/2024) 'sa han ikke: "Dette er håpløst... jeg skal få mitt."'
real people turn away those who need as

What It All Means (2/18/2024)
my responses (2/28/2024)
ACaptain (2/25/2024) 'reconnect with an inner integrity'
being isn't 'a thing' that people can 'see'
no more than it can be 'seen through', as you assert
nevertheless,
it is not surprising that a person whose 'trade' is pretending 'to believably be'
believes being can be 'seen through'
after all, being is transactional for all who are 'merely actors'
BoomTheTurtle (2/25/2024)
or a prison of one's choosing is one's free will manifested

FrederickTheGreat(2/25/2024) 'you can come back from that'
true
SumSumEqualNone (2/25/2024) 'How'
people who die on hills
confuse conviction that fuels stories they tell themselves
with standing for what's worth saving
'this place and time' wasn't 'come to'

TrippingTheStars (3/2/2024)
somewhere,
you pitched logic off the life raft like rational reasoning was poisoned fruit instead of
that which structured life rafts to life save
nevertheless:
'a society' that is ostensibly 'all evil' does not exist
except as a fearsome fable of justification
to name good evil and evil good
reply to above TheRealKW (3/2/2024) 'if... it pays off'
don't all who name good evil and evil good
do it to float on unearned currency?
TheFlood32971 (3/2/2024) 'flush the bad... out to... nothingness'
'society [is] flooded with bad ideas and people'? yikes

TheBountyIsHighTheTideIsLow (5/19/2024) 'for the masses [:] the worst sin is to [everything for nothing]'
there is a message 'for the masses'
that what so-called 'distinguishes' some of us from others of us is
so-called 'kindness'
as if 'kindness' is a trait of so-called 'character'
rather than a failure
so if I were the type who aspired to be that type of so-called 'better' one of 'the masses'

AlphaCentauriOrBust (5/21/2024)
I wonder if the 'sociality' of humans as a fixed 'reality' far beyond
specific conditions of 'care' is... overblown
if 'belonging' and 'loneliness' etc. are... inventions more to do with, say, 'interventions'
than 'factual discoveries of human sociality'
after all, when so-called 'interventions' include 'prescribed'
institutional participation and organizational membership etc.
is this really to do with addressing 'loneliness' and 'belonging'? or
is this to do with doubling down on inventions of a fixed fiction,
a fantasy of yesteryear and a human 'society' that never was?

isn't rather unjust and blind

my responses (7/14/2024, 717/2024)
Sneaker (7/14/2024) "[reality] is less about being heard and more about hearing"
so much goodness has been co-opted for so much wrongdoing
such that pursuing being seen, being heard, belonging, feeling grateful, has been taken by wrongdoers who deny such pursuits for everyone and claim instead exclusive right to such pursuits solely for their own
as if their hands are bloodless
while they rouse for war their armies
of the only so-called 'legitimate' seen, heard, belong, grateful number

ThornsWithoutPricks (7/14/2024)
speaking of the 'New Apostolic Reformation'
that ostensibly welcomes the Apocalypse because their number shall 'receive' eternal salvation
because their God neither asks nor requires 'the faithful' to actually
be 'apostolic' to 'receive' grace
right
as if
such 'believers' who wholeheartedly partake in the vicious pleasures of Babylon's rise and fall
shall ever be mistaken for apostles,
much less 'receive' an apostle's portion
lolol!
TheRealTeslaOfTheFuture (7/14/2024) "[you are] a horrible thing to waste on [the undeserving]"
I no more deserve false promises, sweet nothings, if you will,
than the undeserving deserve me

am I an amazing pain in faithless assholes? aw, thank you!

TheRealCaptainOfTheWest (7/14/2024) "selling [what they own and what they don't]"
as if illusions of 'salvation' and imitations of 'paradise',
delivered by liberators,
'cure poverty'
love you! me

abso-fucking-lutely!
BerkeleyTrees32145 (7/14/2024)
what kind of 'benefit' do dispassionate reasoners offer to 'beneficiaries of rationality'
when logicians and analysts and advisers lean into apologetics, justification, false equivalence
under transparently disingenuous guises of 'assumed apoliticality'
never mind real world harms, that is, f$ck the real world?
ImOldAndImProud (7/14/2024)
know-nothings and know-it-alls
who neither see nor hear your sincerity
see and hear their personal demons as 'the truths in their bones'
and would we the people appease and surrender and concede
'if we know what's good for us'
ha!

ThriceBlowMeDownAHouse (7/16/2024) "the modern evangelical movement [acts as if it can sin its way into heaven]"
to be of a movement, given to projecting their sins onto scapegoats, tests
what it means to be loyal
because loyalty no more means apologetic sin-projecting
than morality means justified immorality
FrederickTheGreat (7/16/2024)
"escaping guilt" neither motivates the conscienceless nor the who don't give a damn
as you know... intimately
IClimbedAMountainAndBecameWise (7/16/2024) "purgation... purge"
"to be cleansed" is not why sins are "purged", of course
such "purgation purges" are performative false absolutions and perennially popular
BenLewis (7/16/2024)
to wit,
it is impossible for the truth to be sword or shield if cowardice is your truth
MagicMountain (7/16/2024)
:sigh: I hear a lot that is insensible... so
being 'lead not to The Land of the Truth', is not an unwillingly lead
and forswearing the Truth, is not an unwilling price
for wannabe overrated gods
from all walks of life
ABridgeWayTooFarToo (7/16/2024)
if
a narrowly true aphorism is as useful as a narrowly... defined future,

AdVancingTheMessenger (7/16/2024) "you have no feelings"
tsk, tsk
though
you and yours insist that written words are a waste... except
for your... fantasies embraced as your... facts and truths,

at the end of the day, that is because people;
2. when such candidate is an option at the polls,
narrow interests and party machines are resourceful
in their opposition to such candidate and 'platform';

not such candidate but emperors in 'new clothes'
for whom such 'platform' and candidacy are performative;

SmallBodyBigMindsEastCoast (8/25/2024)
what a pointless contribution
BenLewis (8/25/2024) "[When voters reject the machine, the machine] doubles down and then triples down."
doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on
insufferable and repellent emperors in 'new clothes'
because this moment calls for delusional main character energy

The Keys to the Kingdom and Other Nonsense (9/27/2024)
my responses (9/29/2024, 9/30/2024)
Sneaker (9/28/2024) "corporations and machines owned by corporations are the real influencers"
(i) that freedom means
a 'right' to be paid
such that 'being paid' is not only normal but necessary
'to live that free life'
means
who cannot be trusted
is not simply the grotesquely self-interested
but also everybody
(ii) for all the bluster of alarmist pandering
accusing everything of being untrustworthy and everywhere of being corrupt,
everybody is a pot, everything is a kettle, everywhere is a glass house
SifIsLovingNorway (9/28/2024)
humanity swims as if it's an inexorable flood sans free will
BerkeleyIsRisingFromBelow (9/28/2024) "then you look deeper... and realize"
yes, human beings seek cocoons of comfortable company
where polite fictions argue lies aren't lying
StatingTheObvious (9/28/2024) "corporations, populists, and political machines"
according to "corporations, populists, and political machines"
they are changed, they are changing, they will change
so we are pacified
because our will is done, is being done, will be done
AlphaCentauriOrBust (9/28/2024)
the golden harp sings and stirs wars infinitely,
for the forever war lays golden eggs infinitely,
for Giants, for Jacks, for common thieves
ACaptain (9/28/2024)
well-spoken
BenLewis (9/28/2024) "I did not know that sensible government was meant to exclude, punish, and disenfranchise"
notwithstanding, this is also the will of millions who choose this in elections,
everywhere the will of people speak
FromTheCellOftheJust (9/28/2024) "media is now wholly owned by corporations and special interests that reduce... thoughts to marketing and behavioral science... to [push] the masses to spend more, give more, and take more... shit"
(i) the irony is not lost on me that a 'free press'
possessed of the 'right' to be paid
means
what cannot be trusted is not simply the grotesquely commercial and mercenary
but also everything
(ii) after all, monetized absurd outrage performed as 'news'
argue slaver 'liberates' everything of nonsense
SofiaTheFirst (9/28/2024) "people who wish to go back to a... time and place"
too many wishers who "wish to go back to a time and place" would rather
flee this time and place for another, than be better here and now
reply to above by TheRealKW (9/28/2024) "that... Village"
the patron saint of Giants, Jacks, common thieves... is not "welcome"?
come now, "that Village" is not of Fools
TurnThePageNowForNow (8/25/2024) "your words"
(i) 'brain trusts' believe self-indulgent fairy tales -
not "my words" -
not because 'brain trusts' are astute or sagacious -
but because 'brain trusts' are hubristic
(ii) as for 'brain trusts' - unversed in "my words" - advising
the unversed in "my words" - to judge "my words" -
well, cocoons of comfortable company are neither
for truths nor for me
(iii) such that the "work" of "[turning] the page" isn't
repudiating the merits of "my words" -
but rather
repudiating the merits of 'brain trusts' that abandon truths
reply to above by TheRealKW (8/25/2024)
look
"I had strings - but now I'm free -
there are no strings on me!"
from "I've Got No Strings" (Pinocchio (2022 Disney))
RustBeltGeeksRUs (8/25/2024) "great"
the unversed in "my words" believe dust is "great"
dust obediently loyal to dust, who trust dust is "great"
dust who pray for dust, to rescue and save dust is "great"
dust who malign and wrongfully silence dust is "great"
dust who exploit and cruelly harm dust is "great"
because the unversed in "my words" abandon truths that repudiate the merits of dust

The Backbone Estate (11/24/2024)
my responses (11/25/2024)
everybody is welcome to be the backbone estate
as for 'robbing' somebody of their 'voice'... to argue for your blamelessness?
how unsurprising for the estate who calls 'the people'... "the spineless masses"
SifIsLovingNorway (11/24/2024)
notwithstanding, what lies beneath Teflon coats
is
common and brittle

AFruitBowl (11/24/2024)
okay: inflation is a "form of taxation without representation"
when 'choice' is false
ex. medical 'expenses' is a false 'choice'
housing 'expenses' is a false 'choice'
child rearing 'expenses' is a false 'choice'
etc.
such that when inflationary 'pressures' squeeze 'expenses' so,
'trading down' isn't a 'choice' so much as a... bind
because when inflationary 'strategies' line the pockets of
the estate who smugly advise "the spineless masses" to pay up or shut up
what 'choice' is that... really?
BenLewis (11/24/2024)
in the common era,
'the pretty people' play at being 'the powerful people',
so
the ugly people pay to be 'pretty' to play at being 'powerful' too

On Immunity and Pardons
The way immunity works is this:
everyone is subject to the law but the immune; the immune are above the law.
The way pardons work is this:
everyone is subject to the law but the pardoned; the pardoned are above the law.

In other words, there's the real world where real people live and there's the make believe world where @ssholes play at being God. Such make believe world is where you and I are supposed to do and think and say and believe not according to our... everything but according to trust, that is, according to faith without qualification, that
@ssholes are saviors who are due immunity and pardons for being @ssholes.

As always, thank you for your patience and understanding as comments and responses are posted to this blog and this page.
