I don’t usually pay attention to whichever instance I’ve drifted into from all, so if you see me in a weird place, that’s why!

  • I work with a lot of veterans and the thing that breaks my heart is how many of them really bought into the lie. They really think they sacrificed years of their lives, some of them went through hell, all for the people of their country. And when or if they realize that they were used, it can break them.

    Many, not all obviously, but many of them are victims of this self-same system of oppression. Taking it out on them is exactly what the people who pull their strings want from us.

    No war but class war.







  • Me, too. It’s like a perfect snapshot of the post-9/11 country music scene I was forced to endure growing up.

    But in addition to that, it always felt incongruous with Archer’s character. He’s 41 at the start of Enterprise. This is a song about how he’s been struggling for so long and no one is going to hold him back because of his faith, but the whole story is how they held his father back his whole life, and they’ve successfully held Archer back until he’s middle-aged.

    As a 38-year-old, lemme tell ya. If faith didn’t get you through the door at 20, it ain’t faith getting you out the door at 41. It should’ve been a song about dogged determination in the face of adversity.













  • PTB.

    They popped up in a governance thread on the instance I’m part of, so I did a deep dive on their comments (as others had done on their posts and I thought I could get a better look at their POV if I went for comments) and they, at one point in the past, stated they worded their rules carefully. I believe this sort of thing is intentional, and bad faith.

    But as they themselves said several times, they’re right-wing, and a person can’t help their biases! So the fact that they’re intelligent and have no qualms with their biases, just means they’re going to hard code their biases into any spaces they litigate. It’s to be expected.
