And don’t forget money! God needs millions of dollars to turn into his will! God’s will is surprisingly dependent on cash donations.

”He loved to watch people burn, the way their skin blackened and blistered and melted off their bones. He burned lords he didn’t like, he burned Hands who disobeyed him. He burned anyone who was against him. Before long, half the country was against him. Aerys saw traitors everywhere.”

Remember what happened to the Brownshirts after Hitler couldn’t integrate their untrained and uneducated forces into the professional German military?

Maybe I’m dating myself, but it still seems incredible to me that a relatively small update to the location features in one piece of software triggers news articles about the broader societal implications.

Software has too much power over our lives.

The Orwellian loss of conceptual meaning is palpable here. The right to protest is now “Terrorism”. I’ve never seen people who “love America” so desperately try to justify murdering their own countrymen.

The rhetoric is being dialed up because the deeply unpopular policies of this administration are weighing down its power grab. Usually fascist movements seize power when they are popular, which is no longer the case. Ironically, I think this bizarre rhetoric will weigh them down further: Trump is mush. Steven Miller is a whiny high school bully. Russell Vought is a Christian nationalist who wants to ban porn. Conspiracy theorists and Fox News hosts all. They are forcing the national guard into as many cities as possible to provoke an excuse invoke the insurrection act because that is the only way they can stay in power as more and more lawmakers, politicians, and influencers become exhausted and unable to operate within the conflicting and constructed reality they dictate.

Paradoxically, I fear that as the administration’s positions become more ridiculous, the potential for violence increases as they run out of options for maintaining their hold on power - like a dying star starved of light elements to fuse, or a circus in which the clowns are all given Tommy guns.

I’m sorry, I just don’t have the empathy to mourn Charlie Kirk. It would sully his memory.

I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage.
