The Ballad of the Little Man

"He was doing fine in '39
Thank God he did not win
He kept playing on his fiddle
As he watched old Rome cave in
He sold love away from his children's hearts
And told them it was sin
Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy
Of that little man within

Now he's sitting in the gardens
As the acid rain comes in
He got it covered full of rhino heads
And boots of leopard skin
He got the means, he make the harvest high
But you can count those hungry people die
We're all at the mercy
Of the greedy man within

So if you're feeling lonely, baby
If you're feeling blue
If you listen to your little friend
You know he'll tell you what to do
But if you hear his words and you get confused
Start believing they're all true
Then you have just been fooled again
Who said we won't get fooled again?
By the little man within"

And what an indictment of "conservatism" that is!

She's totally unaware.

Just a reminder, ppl. The whole trans and queer obsession by the Right is about distraction. They don't want us to think about their economic policies, which siphon up money from the poor to make the rich even richer.

#GQP #RabidRight #conservative #inequality

What still gets me is that evangelicals think Trump is a saint. He's a faithless womaniser, a liar, a braggart, and deeply suss. Yet they worship him. How does this square with Christian behaviour?

Wikipedia article: Model of masculinity under fascist Italy

"As per issues involving #masculinity, #fascist rhetoric advocated for #misogynistic, #homophobic, and virilistic values in their campaign during the 1920s and made direct references as to the accepted and unaccepted gender codes"

ARMORED VEHICLES END UP IN CIVILIAN HANDS

By R. Jeffrey Smith, May 5, 1995

"Federal authorities have opened a broad investigation to learn how eight armored personnel carriers formerly owned by the Energy Department's nuclear weapons complex wound up in the hands of five private citizens in four states last year, senior DOE officials said.

"U.S. officials said they are exploring whether the Indiana man, Joseph F. McClain, might be part of a network of private citizens who abused a government practice of donating surplus military equipment to military-oriented private museums. The probe is being conducted in conjunction with the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, an arm of the Pentagon."

Let the MAGATs riot, then lock them up all! Make room for them by freeing all the folks who were jailed for defending the forests, possessing cannabis or driving while Black. Then maybe we can focus on making sure trans kids don't kill themselves and cleaning up the mess we've made of Mother Earth! I'm so sick of the #WASP #Colonialist ways! Time for a paradigm shift!

2019: Sister Joan Chittister's 2004 quote on 'pro-life' versus 'pro-birth' goes viral

"The quote — which Chittister confirmed she said during an interview with journalist Bill Moyers in 2004 — said: 'I do not believe that just because you are opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, a child educated, a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.""
