Republicans will kill us all by 2050 - they've been doing it for half a century.

There are so many ways Republicans have been fucking you, and you keep voting them back in office, buying their bullshit lying propaganda. They are not now, nor have they ever been the least bit interested in making your life better. The exact opposite is true.

Plastics

In this video, Last Week Tonight's John Oliver explains the deception of the plastics industry and their Republican enablers. They will literally kill us all by 2050. This is no shit. This little bit of manufactured consent bullshit has been brainwashing you since at least 1971. Nothing you think is recyclable actually is. What's worse, it's all coming right back into to your body.

The Story of Stuff

These people have been trying to correct the Republican bullshit propaganda for years. How many of you have even heard of them?

Umair Haque,

Caitlin Johnstone, 

You almost certainly cringe and believe people like these are absolutely wrong. You would be 100% wrong. They may well be extreme, but they're mostly correct. Your country is the single greatest danger and enemy of the world on this planet. 

But it's not because of our people. It's because of assholes like Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, John Cornyn, Tom Cotton, Chuck Grassley, Josh Hawley, John Kennedy, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Tommy Tuberville, Susan Collins ... basically every single Republican Senator, House Representative like Kevin McCarthy, Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, Madison Cawthorn, Dan Crenshaw, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Darrell Issa ... all of them, Republican Governors, Republican state legislators, and all the thieves and murderers that support them for the benefit of stealing, raping, and pillaging of our Blue Marble's natural resources.

By the way, much of the Republican lying tripe and racist bullshit comes from Rupert Murdoch's propaganda pornography network, Fox (definitely not news), and their list of entertainer/flapdoodlers like Tucker Carlson. Here's about the best summary of what that piece of human excrement does by John Oliver. There are many other excellent condensations and analyses, but this one is a must watch. Tucker Vomit.

Twitter nonsense tolerating profitable dangerous propaganda lies that cost real lives

For two weeks in a row Twitter has suspended my account for 12 hours. I did not appeal either because their algorithms are simply full of shit. I did document how the first time they suspended me for replying to a tweet from another user in which I said I would feel satisfied if Rudy Giuliani was tarred & feathered ... and perhaps castrated. Had I used the word "gelded" the algorithm would not have suspended me, as I proved by substituting that word in my commentary after the suspension.

In addition, I mentioned how Rudy Giuliani has regularly used their platform to lie, and outrageously violate their inscrutable Rules. You can browse his timeline and fine countless tweets that were ultimately removed (no doubt because of many complaints). It's not clear whether Rudy's account was ever suspended, but I highly doubt it.

The number of direct attacks and dangerous publication of private individuals' personal information by Rudy and many other Right Wing personalities are easily documentable. For four years Twitter sat by while Trump incessantly violated every possible interpretation of their claimed Rules of Conduct. When they finally got around to doing the right thing in the face of over 30,000 fact checked lies, the best they could bring themselves to do was to post a mild warning that a particular tweet from Trump contained disputed information!

I barely have 3,000 followers. My ability to influence anybody is extremely limited. While I do not restrict my responses to vile, incivility to respectful language, I encourage anyone to review my timeline. I generally give citations and references (a fairly uncommon practice for most Twitter posters). I call out uncritical, unfounded thinking, without regard to political ideology. I'm sure I have offended many on the Left as well as the Right.

I stay away from self-promotion and waving experience or credentials, trying instead to focus attention on actual evidence, analytic evaluation of facts, consequences, responsibilities, and historical perspective. I do regularly remind people that selfishness is not a virtue, and the hypocrisy of Christians disparaging altruism.

On the other hand, Twitter misses the phenomenal influence that people like Trump and Giuliani, who spend their lives promoting themselves for personal profit, while violating all decency, norms, laws, twisting and trampling individual and Constitutional rights of people they consider insignificant, causing enormous injury, then scurrying to claim free speech protection. The facts that they have promoted violence, terrorism, bloody civil war, and the overthrow of our government are self evident.

Twitter has repeated that any continued violation of their Rules may lead to me being banned from their platform. I can see where they are going. Their second 12 hour suspension was because I said of the MAGAt cult "Can that crazy cult just hurry up and take the poison Kool-Aid?" I was alluding to the Jonestown People's Temple experience. Yes, that was insensitive, but I doubt in a million years any of them would be influenced by me to poison themselves over their beloved political views.

So, FU Twitter. You should have done a lot better job of enforcing your Rules of Conduct. You didn't. Why? I suspect it was all about the money, and still is. You are in large part responsible for everything we have suffered, including the genocide of over 600,000 Americans, and the degradation of our public discourse due to your tolerance of criminal use of opinion manufacturing propaganda to incite murderous and seditious insurrection. You're not the champions of free speech that you think you are.
