![the capitalist Welfare State is a Warfare State. It must have an Enemy, with a capital E, a total Enemy; because the perpetuation of servitude, the perpetuation of the miserable struggle for existence in the very face of the new possibilities of freedom, activates and intensifies in this society a primary aggressiveness to a degree, I think, hitherto [182] unknown in history. And this primary aggressiveness must be mobilized in socially useful ways, lest it explode the system itself. Therefore the need for an Enemy, who must be there, and who must be created if he does not exist. Fortunately, I dare say, the Enemy does exist. But his image and his power must, in this society, be inflated beyond all proportions in order to be able to mobilize this aggressiveness of the affluent society in socially useful ways.
The result is a mutilated, crippled and frustrated human existence: a human existence that is violently defending its own servitude.](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/58187617 "the capitalist Welfare State is a Warfare State.

Wow ... Never would I ever have thought I'd see the NRA saying Trans Rights (to own guns)
Point definitely taken. I'm just fascinated at how they've wedged themselves on this issue.
One phrase I took strongly to heart from my days in politics: "Never get in the way of a perfectly good train wreck."

Trump’s DOJ considers banning trans people from owning guns, labels them ‘mentally ill’
The Department of Justice, under Trump, is reportedly looking at proposals to prevent trans people in the US buying and owning guns.Sophie Perry (PinkNews | Latest lesbian, gay, bi and trans news | LGBTQ+ news)
The Economist argues that a lack of robots is in major European cities will be a wake up call that they’ve fallen behind the rest of the world.
Ignoring that this is a strange take — if limited mass transit, no universal healthcare and widespread gun violence hasn’t convinced Americans they’ve fallen behind, why would lack of Waymos make Europeans feel similarly?

I see a lot of toots from bluesky accounts that are commenting on a post over there. The original post is linked at the bottom of the toot, e.g.:
re: <link to bluesky>
This is awkward UI. Is it just how Mastodon processes quote tweets from bluesky, or something that can be made to work more smoothly?
As it is it loads bluesky in a new tab, which is slower than just showing the post in question as if it were another Mastodon post.

Sorry buddy, I was slow this morning and your spam topper is still cooking
If my words were to fall from the heaves onto the paper you hold, would they have the weight of gold, by my soul a story never told, upon my mind so many thoughts to be, yet collection to never be seen, if my pen could type, and the paper stream, where in my head would you like to read, chaos and pain fill the time, from hunger and need my life begs to be, yet void of order and cohesive flow, with little words my volumes flow, with eyes to see and ears that hear, passions grow and hobbies go, from film to screen with beating themes, to transcend one task with an empty flask, I march my rhymes without a dime, so much to say but that's for another day, within my sleep the scene will play, to fill my time the words will play, no writer be nor painter nor crafter be, a million talents and thoughts will bring no honey to me, time has taken all from me, before my stories end, you will never see my pen;

It takes a lot of energy to be healthy, to do healthy things and think healthy thoughts.
When I break, I am incapable of these things.
If you see me calling myself names, self-harming, and being negative, it's not because I don't know how to do those things.
It means I've been doing them all along and finally lost my capacity to even do that much.
It means those coping mechanisms have stopped working.

Antonio Costa [President of the European Council, former Secretary-General of the Portuguese Socialist Party]:
"Budapest must stop importing gas and oil from Russia: it is the best way to hasten the end of the war," accusing Viktor Orbán of being primarily responsible for the "20% of supplies" that the EU pays for to Russia.

Il nemico c'è, ma in questa società bisogna far finta che sia più cazzuto del vero per convogliare l'aggressività della società ricca in modi socialmente utili (che però non vengono descritti e, presumo, utili solo alla società ricca).
