The Pegasus Project<\/a> is coming to a phone near you. There’s an app for that. It won’t make you happy. I pray it can still make you mad.<\/p>\nSnowden lays it on the line for you, again. Will you hear this time?<\/p>\n
Speaking of Eduardito.<\/p>\n
The lines that Franco drew the other day between real warriors for what is right, and the ‘Synthetic Left’, and the fence-sitters … you remember, ’cause you read me hard every day.<\/p>\n
The fastest simplest way to separate pure wheat from Hillary-bot shit-chaff is to see what any given person thinks about Snowden, and especially about Assange. <\/p>\n
By this rough metric, we can throw TYT on the scrap pile for good–they’re a garbage MSM propaganda outlet now. Kyle is the prototypical mugwump. Dore and Greenwald and their swarming youthful minions get it, and preach it.<\/p>\n
Do you know what any given congressperson you admire has had to say about Julian Assange?<\/p>\n
Do you know that Ocasio-Cortez thinks we shouldn’t invade Haiti right now, but only because there’s no plan for it and it doesn’t seem like a good time?<\/p>\n
Do you know that Ro Khanna’s wife has hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in defense contractors?<\/p>\n
There is no pol you can trust holding office right now. Even Bernie got told to go to sleep, and he tucked his tail and obeyed.<\/p>\n
The anarchist Emma Goldman said that “If voting changed anything they’d make it illegal”, and she was right.<\/p>\n
Sure, voting eventually changes things on some soft issues, like where transwomen can pee or whether Denny’s can say no to serving black people. <\/p>\n
But for the broad economic issues that actually matter, for privacy or imperialism at home or endless capitalist wars around the globe, voting doesn’t matter, and you’re kidding yourself if you think that exercising your ‘choice’ at the ballot box changes a god damn thing.<\/p>\n
Democracy was a great idea, and it’s a ahame it’s never been tried here. <\/p>\n
