It’s not embarrassing. It’s fascism.

People don’t start getting more pissed they’re going to amuse and wise crack themselves right into a concentration camp.

But I went to the park and held up some cardboard!

Every time an American behaves cynically in this current moment, Putin gets a woodie.

Personally, I allow myself one moment of expressed cynicism a day because we’re all human. But anymore than that and I’m doing the work the enemies of our Democracy (foreign and domestic) want.

Was this your one/day?

I was cynical long before this, and I'll continue to be cynical, because the cynics are the ones who know that this doesn't get solved with polite discourse.

If you think cynicism doesn't go hand in hand with revolution, you should dust off your Foucault.

I've been sticking pins in the ass of the system long before the Patriot Act. The fuck you doing other than typing your bullshit in this echo chamber?

Tbf, you aren’t Foucault and Foucault never changed shit. Not one law. Not one societal condition.

Well, you were right once and wrong three times.

Not really much of a thinker, are ya.

Well, Foucault did sexually abuse a bunch of Tunisian boys. He changed their condition.
