Anyway all Republicans are despicable fucking human beings and should be shunned from polite society if any such thing still exists, Jesus fucking Christ blaming a tragic plane crash on diversity to cover the fact that you fucked the FAA, just the biggest pieces of shit in the world.

50 or 100 times a day this week I have wondered how so many people became so morally dead inside as to not only accept grotesque cruelty and bigotry but cheer it, often for no other detectable reason than that human suffering seems to make them cheerful. Not even greed; just a love of cruelty. Humans who have made monsters of themselves by hating humanity so much they delete their own humanity.

I wrote about the clarifying power of simple declarations of basic truths and decency; how they show us what we stand for, and how they expose what indecent liars stand for.
Five thoughts on finding our direction in the Republican Party's Nazi America.

I wrote about the fascist party that's taking power, the deepest natural laws that they oppose, the ways that this opposition renders them fundamentally, illegitimate no matter what power they hold, and what that means for all of us.

From the concluding chapter of Very Fine People:
"Let’s put it this way: White America seems very happy to claim they live in Martin Luther King Jr’s dream. It seems totally unwilling to climb his mountain."

Hard to believe how many waterfalls we used to go chasing in the early 90s, and how normalized it was. Kids today have no idea.

I wrote about the coming fascist oligarchy, the billionaire scam upon which it rests, and the nature and purpose of game we need to play in order to become people of opposition. Transforming the national spirit, expanding the scope of possibility. Part 1.

"Physics doesn’t care about wealth; if natural systems protecting humans from laws of physics fail, physics will crush rich and poor alike. When it comes to the planet we’re all in the same boat, so our planet becoming inhospitable ought to be a concern to all."

“Fascists love to tell us that their numbers are great. They hate hearing that our numbers are also great. They want us to think we have a them problem, and we do. But we should not forget to give them an us problem.”

"If one team playing the game stops following the rules, and nothing exists to stop them ... then you aren’t playing that game anymore. You’re playing a different game, defined by the people allowed to go on breaking the rules."

Lessons from the election: How defending a people-eating system is an electoral liability; how we don't win fights if we don't fight; how we aren't the opponent of those we won't oppose; and how those who do not lead us where we need to go are not our leaders.

NEW ENTRY:
1945 SCARLET STREET (Lang) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Edward G Robinson goes against type to play a nebbish but good-hearted clerk with the soul (and skill) of an artist, lured into a life of sleazery by femme fatale Joan Bennett. Toys with the far more interesting conclusion of a murderer with a clean-conscience, but the Hays code kicks in. Until then works as a sort of reverse Morven Callar, come to think of it.
Replaces: n/a

I do know that we people of good intent will need one another, so I am hugely grateful that we have found each other, and I truly appreciate all of you.
Let's keep it going.

Yet I still dare hope they will be hobbled by their own incompetence, and most of all that they will be thwarted by the work and sacrifice of people of good intention who love the living art of human beings more than they love their own all-consuming greed and self-exonerating controlling hatred.

I don't pretend to know what this will ultimately look like; I know what the American Fascist party known as Republican intends to make it into, because they are very clear in their intention to convert the country into a corporate work prison and bigoted free-range murder factory.

Friends, here we are: at the end of the year and the start of another; at the end of neoliberalism—which is the iteration of what U.S. supremacy has been the first 50 years of my life—and at the start of whatever U.S. supremacy is going to try to become now that open Nazi ideology is on the table.

A week after that I wrote about boundaries and permission, people who refuse to hear about the hurt they are causing, and what to do with people who have proved that they are not safe, and are therefore not worthy of our trust, our engagement, or our time. https://www.the-reframe.com/rules-of-engagement/

After the election, I wrote about differentiators, and laid out certain things I believe we must practice in the coming age of empowered American Nazis: doing what fascists cannot do, not doing what fascists want us to do, and never accepting the fascist offer. https://www.the-reframe.com/fighting-in-the-dark/

And then, in November, I wrote a few essays around the election that were a bit more tactical than I usually get.
First, before the election, I wrote about the utility of the word "unacceptable" and of refusing to accept apologies of fascists and other bullies.
