It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

Really well said: "Economic inequality reduces the ability of people to experience others as equals, to have relations with them on equal terms, and hence to function as citizens."

Side-by-side collage of two images. On the left, a man with a beard sits in a legislative chamber seat, leaning forward over a desk with papers. On the right, two men stand behind podiums during what appears to be a debate or TV segment; a pink circle highlights a block or platform under one of the men’s feet.

In addition to allegations of raping children, Trump is accused of otherwise assaulting them, threatened them repeatedly, and blackmailed and harassed them for years. He’s a monster.
He's also accused of confessing to Epstein that he uses illegal building permits.

A worn, barred window set into a rough wall reflects leafless trees and a cloudy sky. Behind the glass, a mirror, a spray bottle, and three Guinness bottles sit on a shelf.

On a walk today, I passed by an old shed hidden in the trees, by the side of the lake. Three old bottles of Guinness lay on the windowsill, along with a fallen statue of the Virgin Mary. Only in Ireland. #PhotoADay #MobilePhotography #Reflections #WindowsAndDoors #TracesOfLife

I adored Messi, even more than Ronaldo who played for United. It was the aesthetic of him.There was also the Barcelona Spanish civil war thing, and Catalonian independence. But to stand alongside that predator today has totally besmirched him in my eyes. Fuck him all the way to the moon and back.
