Logged out Twitter for the last time today, it definitely feels good. I don’t think I’m really going to use these notes unless there’s a good reason, because the dopamine treadmill is a huge part of why I left. If I’m gonna get likes and restacks at least let me earn it with longform content.
Even if it’s not all the way at the scale of violence, but you notice that he thinks Hitler mustaches are funny. He thinks, you know, that he’s expressing himself. You see him slipping down that rabbit hole. What do you do?racket.news/p/take-the-…? r=5mz1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Joe Biden had 100 million chickens killed.
Interesting piece of history: The Ware Group. I learned about them several years ago reading a biography of Alger Hiss.
"The Ware group started among young lawyers and economists hired by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA). This New Deal agency reported to the Secretary of Agriculture but was operated independently of Department of Agriculture bureaucracy. All the members of the Ware Group were dues paying members of the Communist Party."
Biography of Alger Hiss??!!
Alger Hiss was an American Communist traitor embedded in the U.S. State Department who in the middle of WWII - at the behest of FDR - ginned up the charter for the United Nations (which he gave the Soviet Union TWO votes in the so-called "Security Council"); Hiss was the 1st Secretary of the U.N. at its 1st meeting in San Francisco after WWII ended; was finally outed, tried and charged as being a Russian spy and spent a short time in a federal prison. End of story.
Convicted of perjury, but you're mostly right. Thus the title: "Alger Hiss: Why He Chose Treason." By Christina Shelton.
BTW, James, what was Hess' excuse for becoming an American Communist?
He maintained his innocence of the accusations (of being a spy) until he died. But Shelton makes a compelling case that he lived a lie, and rolls out the evidence.
Cracking the book open again to the book's epilogue, I read this from the author: "Alger Hiss fastened upon an illusory ideology claiming to answer all questions, promising utopia, but in reality concealing tyranny. In the process he betrayed his country. Dedicated by oath and office to serving his country, he became a secret agent of…

What amazes is WHY so many so-called "intellectuals"- world wide - STILL
fall for the absolute gibberish of Karl Marx "thought" and the imbecility of
and impossibility of "continuous revolution" until "absolute equality" in a far off utopia is achieved - and the Communist State THEN "fades away". HAH!
Marx apparently had NO comprehension of the inbred fault in the DNA of the Homo-sapiens species that lusts for POWER and CONTROL over others.
World history is replete with examples of both sexes of power-mad-control-freaks who directly caused only bloody chaos to the human condition.
