    Almost there Donnie… What’s the conclusion?

    Also, you’re a child rapist that is still using the government to cover it up.

    The third feature of Fascism.

    Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action’s sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering’s alleged statement (“When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun”) to the frequent use of such expressions as “degenerate intellectuals,” “eggheads,” “effete snobs,” “universities are a nest of reds.” The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

    Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco

      I do have to wonder what a society looks like when every decision is always pulling the trolley lever

    I can’t watch the clip right now. Is he actually saying this or this click bait and trump is being “sarcastic” or at least “tongue in cheek” about it?

    Like, idk, I’m so tired if these “liberals pointing to things” articles. They don’t do anything but make people inactive in politics (or actual material resistance) feel good.

    Like, seriously, even if he is “letting it slip” what the fuck does this matter?

    Whoa woah whoa, that’s not completely true, Mr President! In addition, empathetic people don’t like you, workers don’t like you, lawful people don’t like you, honest people don’t like you, minorities don’t like you, good people don’t like you…
