And that’s the entire point really.

Behind all of the sturm und drang and all of the Christian nationalist noise and all of the hate and all of the furor is, and has been from the start, a handful of fabulously wealthy psychopathic fuckwads who recignized in Trump an opportunity to protect and even expand their entirely undeserved and grotesquely destructive privilege.

Which neatly sums up why I do not and will not even have a Steam account, but buy many games from GOG.

See - this is why I don’t give a shit about copyright.

It doesn’t protect creators - it just enriches rent-seeking corporate fuckwads.

Amongst all of the Republican insanity of recent years, the thing that definitely stands out to me the most, as the weirdest, is their slavish subservience to Putin.

I understand it from an extremely cynical point of view, but still, it’s just so weird snd so directly contrary to everything they’ve ever claimed to stand for. It’s hypocrisy and malfeasance and amorality and pathetic subservience all rolled into one and cranked up to 11.

Well, like, to me, my thing is… a video image is much more powerful and useful than an actual event.

Like back when I used to go out, when I was last out, I was walking down the street and this guy came barrelling out of a bar - fell right in front of me and he had a knife right in his back - landed right on the ground.

And I have no reference to it now. I can’t refer back to it. I can’t press rewind. I can’t put it on pause. I can’t put it on slo-mo and see all the little details.

And the blood, it was all wrong. It didn’t look like blood. The hue was off and I couldn’t adjust the hue. I was seeing it for real, but it just wasn’t right.

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy.

I wonder if he’ll be thinking about the irony of having said that when Trump is in office, democracy is dead and he’s plummeting 20 floors to his death after one of Trump’s operatives has thrown him out a window.
