  • Nothing against weed itself but I hope it doesn’t pass. Those people don’t need another coping mechanism, they need to vote out the fucking trash.

    this is a dumb take, who do you think keeps getting thrown in prison and having their voting rights taken away? I’ll tell ya, it’s not the boomer magas living in the voter fraud capital of Florida, The Villages.

    It would be great if people would stop parroting this russian troll “joke” designed to make you hate those who need your help.








  • Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man's rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. It may seem an exaggeration to say that the American public gets most of its ideas in this wholesale fashion. The mechanism by which ideas are disseminated on a large scale is propaganda, in the broad sense of an organized effort to spread a particular belief or doctrine.
