…astroturfing; good catch…

^{(i was trying to parse when bra-stigma had been a thing after the twentieth century)}

…mossad gonna mossad and FSB gonna FSB…

…i was thinking bathtub cheese but that’ll do…

…pretty much this: they’re conformant authoritarians and christian nationalism just happens to be the cultural identity in which they were raised…

…here we just have touchscreen kiosks set side-by-side along open tables, no privacy other than the LCD field-of-view…

…the sad fact is that fascists won a mostly-free-and-fair election, so i think many of us are sitting tight until midterms lest we give them ammunition to rationslise martial law; if midterm elections aren’t proprietous, though, that ammunition’s f*cking coming out…

…that’s pretty cool!..

…plus they have to add these little armored balls which can eject personnel into new york their for own safety, provided an escort arrives to facilitate their ultimate escape…

…there’s no trying, man, it’s already undone…
