Never too early for that smazing fur-do.

Step Four: Be to damn dumb to understand you're playing yourself.

Indeed.

I wouldn't have to; my brain dribbling out of my ear would be evidence (and punishment) enough.

That damn dress! 💥💥💥

Glad I clarified. This medium is always tricky with expressing nuance. I try not to drag folks into the weeds with me too often. 😄

Which is not to say they won't embrace it and use it as cover to do what they truly want; just the question of do they really buy it.

For the sake of the medium, I agree. But, I was less suggesting gullibility than a population whose, sort of foundational worldview aligns with that rhetoric. It feels to me, so outdated that anyone born since 1960, at least, should be able to see right through it.

Who still actually buys this shit, though. In my head, the only people who possibly could are at least octogenarians.

Yup. If we're to dumb to think critically and with discernment, their Ministry of Truth will be all the more effective.

Dude, they all are. Constantly.

I think they all must constantly be. I'm not saying they are good people, but it must kill the spirit to have to be in a perpetual state of lying. They probably have to be on something to cope.

I kinda love the t-shirt. I want one!

Ew.

So, can we expedite the massive batch of kool aid?

Every single one of them for the rest of their godforsaken lives.

I'mma post this here, and maybe it will get this thread more attention because people love *new* phrases. Black folks have a phrase that generally accompanies "stay woke," and that's "stay ready." Together they mean to be aware and prepared. The one is necessary for the other. It's that time.

4. Are people preparing to defend themselves? (No pretending anymore that it might not come to this. It has already come to this. Will we be ready?)

3. Are people prepared to be very uncomfortable for months, maybe years? (Are we starting to prepare our minds now for things to get very difficult? Are we ensuring that our community networks are strong to better endure?)
