  • Terrorism is an inchoate concept. History is written by the victors. American terrorists dumped tea in Boston Harbor, but they were freedom fighters and revolutionaries because they prevailed. On the flip side, Israel killed a terrorist. How do I know they were a terrorist? Because Israel wouldn’t have killed them otherwise.

    Overall, other responders have good answers - equal rights, freedoms, and opportunities. Plenty of bread and circuses. I can’t be motivated to be a terrorist because I would sacrifice too much changing the status quo.














  • Schadenfreude. Learn to take pleasure in things like massive increases in risk making insurance unaffordable for conservative fuckheads in places like Florida. A fancy beach house on Cape Hatteras just fell into the ocean (creating a wave of nasty pollution).

    Climate chaos is coming for all of us, and we have done basically nothing to avert it (lots of lip service). 2023 set the record for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the books.

    All that is left is to watch the ensuing horrors and enjoy our comeuppance.
