Absolutely amazing read.

The leader of the free world. These next four years are going to be…special.

Next four years... really? Sympathy for ....

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Next four years... really? Sympathy for ....

Well, that’s how long a term is.

 

[Skylarker]

I think you’re right. Extremism and absurdity has completely taken over. On both sides. I hate the goodytwoshoes-safe-space-woke and their right-wing loony bin counterparts. You can’t take either side seriously. And they’re both destroying the political climate. So yeah, it opens up for clownery and spectacle.

Not to pontificate but I honestly think you can trace it back to the 90s when Clinton went on Arsenio Hall, and then later got a blow job in the Oval Office. There was a dignity forfeited. A total disrespect for the elected post.

 

[Loosie]

When I read all the reactions, I think to myself, my god. She´s not very pleased about human kind. Never mind, Ich werd euch Alle entgegnen in the great beyond. There is a place in hell for me and my friends, how do you like purgatory so far? See you in the next life.

Ouch!!! We are already in hell...don't you know? Nothing can make a person suffer more than losing a loved one. At least for me. Yes, I will relive this hell again, as it's always been.

 

[Stephan]

Well, that’s how long a term is.

I wasn´t talking about the term...

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I wasn´t talking about the term...

What then?

 

[Stephan]

What then?

Nothing lasts forever

 

[caramel sea salt]

Nothing lasts forever

Even cold November rain

M has always found frauds fascinating. Himself included.



lol. Outsiders like...Nancy Sinatra you mean?
I don't think he objects to any form of wealth, inherited or otherwise...





Lous, I think you gravely overestimate M's intelligence. He's not like you,you know

There's nothing cryptic about posts that come from some ham-for-brain blockhead in the M Krew. The genius probably just googled "songs with the word wounded in them" and found that one. M just said, "Yes, that will do to make the Msolo fools comment. But try to find a video of an alligator wearing one of my tshirts attacking a tourist in Florida as well."

As for M asking Israel to do some introspection, that cracked me up.
Just the words Morrissey and introspection in the same sentence.

How often do you think he thinks about the dead and maimed children in Gaza? Every time he has a drink by the pool?

How do you think he's a "fraud"?

This short article profiling Tim Walz touches on American politics, questions assumptions about genocide, and brings Wounded Knee into it. Someone with moderate humanitarian views, if they can hold on to them in high places, is a welcome prospect, to me at least:

Tim Walz, Hannah Arendt, and the Occupation at Wounded Knee​

by Corey Robin 08.07.24

Before Tim Walz became a politician, he was a high school teacher. One of his passions as a teacher was the subject of the Holocaust.

Walz wrote his masters’ thesis on “Improving Human Rights and Genocide Studies in the American High School Classroom.” It argued that the way we teach the Holocaust and genocide in school was mistaken.

Walz pushed for an approach that didn’t separate the Holocaust from other genocides and human rights abuses. He also insisted that it was a mistake to focus on the maniacal character of Hitler and the Nazis. Instead he argued for a more integrated, comparative, and historicist approach, incorporating factors such as colonialism, economics, and civil war, and connecting the Holocaust to the Cambodian and Armenian genocides.

This is standard stuff now, but this was back in the early 1990s, when, as Walz says, teachers were teaching the Holocaust by having students wear yellow stars and stand at the back of the lunch line. (In 2008, the great New York Times journalist, Samuel G. Freedman, wrote a great profile on Walz as a teacher of the Holocaust.)
In 2020, when Walz was already governor of Minnesota, he did an interview with a Jewish podcast. He spoke there about how he had his students read Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem, even though “it seemed a little deep for them.” (See episode 44.)

On that podcast, Walz connected his interest in the Holocaust to an experience he had as a fourth grader growing up in Nebraska. His father was the superintendent of schools, and it was 1973. That was the year that members of the Oglala Lakota tribe and the American Indian Movement took over the town of Wounded Knee, which had been the site of the 1890 massacre of native Americans.

The town Walz lived in was not far from Wounded Knee. Walz remembers organized militias of men standing guard on top of the building in his town. He also remembers—actually he only discovered this later—that there had been a movement in the town to prevent Native American students from going to school during the occupation at Wounded Knee. Things were that tense.

Walz’s father opposed that effort and made sure that all students were able to attend school.
