@palin why would you trade one #totalitarian app for another?

Fuck #tiktok

And fuck #rednote

#Capitalism sucks but if you think #tiktok represents #communism you are completely awol on reality here. The govt of #China isn't even #communist, it's #totalitarian capitalism now. And that's what tiktok represents. It is not a force for #freespeech it is just another spying manipulation for #fascism. anyone who embraces tiktok or #rednote because "#usa bad" is functioning on an extremely clueless shallow understanding of their world

Do you think the year is 1975?

It's "suspended", but can't be "deactivated".

Brilliant. Terry Gilliam would be proud. No notes.

@desafinado @sannewman @bookstodon I started, stopped, started again and finally finished Julia, A Retelling of George Orwell's 1984 from a female perspective, though not a #feminist one. It is a wonderful effort and timely to read during these bleak times of perversion of everything moral, ethical, and human. And it doesn't end well. Bring down one #totalitarian regime and another grows up in its place.

(In which I define "communion" a lá #PeterRollins: gathering around shared Lack/alienation. Ftr, that's what I want.)

…Cowles talked about what led him to go public w/this decision, discussing the importance of the #Constitution & protecting #democracy, mentioning the members of his family who served in the #military & fought in #WWII.

“I believe this guy #Trump is a #totalitarian & very much a #fascist,” said Cowles. “You know, the old adage, past is prologue, he’s indicated that in his words in deeds, especially in trying to overturn a free & fair election.”

@Snowshadow

In a #fascist or #totalitarian world, things often mean the opposite, as you know.

#NewSpeak and #DoubleThink

"#ProLife" is very much in character for the #GQP
