Have you heard about the “socialist teeth” meme on Twitter?
So, the furry community is for the most part leftist and radically tolerant, with large percentage of LGBT+ people. Some Twitter user apparently had problem with it and posted this:
Send them to Coventry?
No. We send them a Lancaster.
I have just found out that France has two words for Libertarian. Libertaire describes the socialists and communists, and Libertarien is used for the capitalists.
Sometimes I think that the English language oversimplifies things. Then I remember that Murray Rothbard intentionally called himself a libertarian to confuse people.
Dan Price still gets crap from conservatives for being a proper Christian and taking pay cuts to save his employees from unemployment. It’s wild how hard right wingers go to shit on one of their own for trying to save his own neck and maybe follow his moral center.
Texas.
Same.
Also, they were completely surprised when I asked for my share (the unused crayons, pencils, markers) back at year’s end, because they don’t save and reuse year-to-year. Yes, they were really really surprised. I followed my son’s teacher with a paper grocery bag.
She got them out of big plastic garbage bin on wheels. It was filled about halfway with erasers, markers (dry-erase and the regular kind for paper), crayons, colored construction paper, pencils, pens, you name it.
It was our first and last year in that school. 2001. Opted for Montessori and a saner approach to priorities, allocation of resources, course materials. And no pledge of allegiance.

Well, the right did manage to whip up a bunch of militias to setup “checkpoints” so that they could hold people fleeing fire at gunpoint because “I don’t reccinize yer truck”
(sigh)
But you know that old saying: If a millionaire Marxist promises you free rent for life, get it in writing.
For Anagnos lived a long life. Ninety-five years. But he passed away in 2018. And his eldest son, Demos, did not see the world — or at least part of it — the way his father had.
Demos Anagnos took over the Peace Center’s affairs. But he wants to sell the building and dissolve the foundation. That means the tenants and their free rent would be expelled from the premises.
ETA: added pulled quote
In the presence of any law [revolutionaries] ask only whether it is expedient—good tactics—to obey it or break it. They know that the laws are for the most part made by and for the possessing classes, and that in a contest with the workers the bosses do not respect the laws, but quite shamelessly break them.
— Helen Keller
“Desire for revolution is secretly suicidal ideation” hits a little close to the mark!
