Podcasts also have a very intimate quality that creates connection and credibility in its listeners, that’s why the medium creates cult like followings. Shit it’s basically the same gimmick as FDRs fire side chats

Squirrelly Dan?

Can I use the banjo as a club and take it upside the head of a fascist?

Preaching to the choir brother, the South’s got a lot of problems but the common conception that it’s a just a bunch of idiots, racist, and inbred hillbillies allows them to ignore the actual disenfranchisement and oppression going on both in the south and their own back yards. And the ruling class purposefully encourages and perpetuates that perspective, it both keeps the vast majority of the black people in this country impoverished and without representation AND keeps any sort of class consciousness from forming across different regions!

I originally hail from north GA and spent nearly 40 years there and Atlanta, what’s wild is that while where I live now in WA is obviously more anti Trump and but the folks ain’t nearly as anti authority or “fuck the man” as we are as a baseline, there’s some of that and Oregon is a different story but I’ve found it interesting

Raise hell, praise Dale

Depending on location this ain’t even a joke, Washington state would be happy I can tell you that much

As a man, some of my brethren are fucking gross and have no self control

I had a roommate who never made a single contact in her phone for anyone, she would just answer any call and figured out who was texting from past bits of the conversation and what they sent. And it wasn’t a principled thing, she just didn’t see the convenience in saving contact info. Blew my fucking mind

And heirarchy

I’m not gonna sit here and let you say that Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Goodfellas was a case for renewables. It wasn’t a case against them because it was a mob movie set mostly before 1973 but the point stands!

This is why I hate every job I’ve ever had, most folks seem to be more than happy to fuck each other over, act like your friend to your face but would be happy to stab you in the back for a dollar. I refuse to act like that and think its morally repugnant to engage in that behavior. Its heart wrenching how common its become

This is, upsettingly, probably true for a significant portion of them.

The way the religion is presented to them ties it very purposefully with actual history which, for many of them, gives it all the authenticity needed to believe the crazy shit.

That fact is important because it’s also why they won’t leave us alone, they think the entirety of mankinds existence revolves around these end times ideas and indeed their beliefs REQUIRE there to be non-believers that suffer for rejecting it.

It’s really dumb and upsetting

He was the herald to mark the beginning but not one of the seals

I wouldn’t dream of it!

Are you talking about the gorilla, the asshole fuck ass conservative, or Betty White?

Norris sucked as person a lot as he was an asshole Texas macho conservative, and at the same time Bowie and Prince are almost guaranteed to have done sex crimes in some capacity.

His shittiness doesn’t change the fact that he was part of the prophecy!

One of the seals holding the old reality together while the new one develops, Harambe, Bowie, Prince, Robin Williams, Chuck Norris, and Betty White have all departed the coil. Once Harvey Keitel decides his time is up the world will complete its metamorphosis into a a brave new utopia

I don’t think it’s the exclusive reason why, but I do think the mounting interest and pressure that was starting to build made it the perfect time for his handlers to give him the push in that direction

It’s really unnerving for me seeing old clips and pics of W in contrast to Trump. Don’t get me wrong W doesn’t deserve an ounce of forgiveness or leniency in perception of him. And his likability was what made him so dangerous.

But he also just feels like an actual human being, someone who enjoys things and has interests outside of using others for his own aggrandizement. Trump even when he’s being goofy is just fucking cruel and selfish about everything to everyone that isn’t kissing his ass.

The bar is below the floor

Can someone find W in the Epstein files please so I can be equally disgusted with both again.
