I worked at a major chain bookstore during nearly the entire Trump administration and books about “Russian collusion” and “Russian spies” and “Russian chaos agents” with sinister covers (often featuring a lot of red and/or a hammer and sickle) written by Keith Olbermann types about the big brave Americans fighting to rout Trump’s army of Putinistas came out what felt like weekly.
Like yes Amogus Sus funny but it would seriously melt your brain if you counted just how many books like this there were. And not just “non-fiction” but also the resurgence of quasi-Cold War espionage novels about tactful American gentlemen spy-hunting.
Worth noting this is also happening at the same time as the Bundy assholes are putting out briefs on how to essentially bluster your way into stealing indigenous water, aimed squarely at Klamath-Siskiyou indigenous water rights holders.
This is just one more reason to hate TPTB in Texas. (Not indigenous, but in between my academic background and having friends who’ve worked oilfields I know damn well they break/leak, and while ICWA maybe isn’t perfect it’s a huge improvement over residential schools/60s Scoop/various other forms of racism when it comes to indigenous kiddos at least getting to stay in their tribe/Nation/culture).
If you like Hawai'i because it’s fucking beautiful and the waters are perfectly clear.
Then you should support the decolonization of Hawai'i and give it back to the indigenous peoples there because they are why it’s so beautiful and the waters are perfectly clear.
And while we’re at it support #Land Back because if we give authority to care for the indigenous people here on the main land, we can probably have a place that’s that beautiful as well (assuming it’s not too far gone yet).
You don’t get to gather a group of your best friends, break into a house, kill the whole family but the kid, live there for 20 years, then complain about minority rule when the kid says “Yo. Can I have my house back?”
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
