So I’m also the site’s clinically diagnosed sufferer from Depression and Anxiety (also SAD and PTSD) and I’ve been in Therapy for years (I recommend it to everyone). I’ve come to the conclusion that Existential Depression is not my main problem at the moment, in 14 Billion years or so the Universe will either disperse …

Erik Thorvaldson’s Big Swindle
I suppose as the resident Viking (I’m a quarter Danish, that’s why I have the Ben Franklin seal of ‘Whiteness’ you turkeys which is proof enough that not every idea is a good one) I have to say something about Greenland, and Denmark for that matter. Denmark is basically a flat swampy part of Germany …

Do you believe it’s fascism now?
Fascism is not dependent on anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is an unfortunate side effect. Accusing people of “dual loyalty” based upon religious belief is to say Catholics or Jews or Muslims are “other” and is pure hatred and bigotry designed to separate winners (fascists) from losers (everyone else). It’s an expression of the anger they have for …

Italian Politics, Briefly Explained.

The Police State That Already Exists
Borders are not where you think they are. If you live within 100 miles of an “International” Airport (and most people do), you’re technically in “Border Country” and Customs and Border Patrol can stop and arrest you on whim, without pretext let alone a warrant or probable cause. I have no idea what it’s like …

The Facepalm Five Told you I might be putting up some more Steve Shives. I find the incest controversy over Steve King instructive. If you are a Bible believing Christian (as I was raised to be, Methodist you know) whom did Adam’s sons marry? Their Daughter of Lilith Half Sisters? Do the Math. Well now, …

The truth emerges.
Ok. There is only one “Whitest Guy” (Ben Franklin certified) and so I have unwittingly Doxxed myself as John Oliver. You should now re-read all my posts ever in a British accent. They’ll sound much more authoritative and classy. That’s what Game of Thrones money gets you. Wanda Sykes. As the whitest guy in the …

It’s worse than you think.
So the Intertubz is a twitter after Steve King’s abysmally attended Town Hall Saturday. As it turns out the Corporatist Media is vastly exaggerating the turn out, by like 100%. These fractions are easy because the denominator, the statistical (yeah, had to take that too) universe of people who attended Steve King’s Town Hall is …
