Brave Little Hitachi Wand

I mean, I’d love that. I don’t know enough procedure to say whether that’s an actual option for them. Someone should at least be pointedly asking them to do so.

Absolutely fair lmao, I was braindead and cranky at the time.

Bold of you to assume slavery is illegal in America. Every “prisoner witha job” in a for-profit prison is a victim of the 13th amendment.

Whenever there’s a real socialist, vote for them. If there isn’t, maybe it’s time for a career in politics.

All the jaundiced takes aside, this is what they should be doing right now.

The last few years have really soured me on the idea of nations in general.

This is a small community that I care about. How people treat each other is everyone’s business.

I tried, seems like you prefer to be angry.

Corporate media has really done a number on a profession that should in any worthwhile society be feared and respected in equal measure. Journalism is supposed to be radical, personal, obsessed with the truth, and beholden only to an editor who knows too much and has ulcers.

Oh well, at least I have a rich inner life.

Closeted people: “here I go killing again!”

Let them be delusional, pity the lucid.

They were referencing anti union propaganda

Is this what they mean by “the good news?” Sickos.

I doubt they’d keep you long. Government jobs have been no fun for quite a while.

I could do my son’s wedding, but, unfortunately, the only way to make that about me, is to proclaim I can’t attend, to the whole United States of the World! Also, I’m running out of commas again, somehow, and have to go get more.

UK. Being a dual citizen by birth is a bit like having one foot in the grave, and another foot in the toilet. Still, beats dropping my kid off at a school with active shooter drills.

And I always will, god help me. Renouncing citizenship from the US is like loudly breaking up with a privileged abuser, liable to draw their ire and excite further persecution. No, I just emigrated to a country with a dual taxation treaty and quietly stopped paying them taxes. It is the worst vengeance I can safely enact on the villain.

My family was only American for one generation. Even if I were the second coming of John Adams, the country would have no claim on me. America raised me to believe in free republic, in cosmopolitanism and rationality, humanity, self determination, and in the inherent legitimacy of the will of the people.

It never stopped being an empire built on slavery, slavery is enshrined into law. It only briefly stopped persecuting a top-down class war, and Smedley Butler’s resistance has been all for naught. Every good value that American culture inculcated in me has been a hypocritical sham.

So we left. I never did fit in in the US, so I might as well live out my days as a misfit elsewhere. I’m like a local cryptid now, the man from a place that never existed.

You want to throw yourself into the gears of history to save a decaying empire, maybe you feel like you have no other choice? I understand that too, and even though the prospect sickens me to no end I cannot think less of anyone who chooses it. Try not to think less of me, either.

Oh wait, maybe I do know how British voters think… Damn it.

All the same… Name one town that does not need to be any hotter at all!
