Thoughts on White supremacists dying

Rush Limbaugh, a lifelong American white supremacy propagandist, was, unfortunately, born on January 12th, 1951. He died on February 17th, 2021.

I wish white supremacy propagandists died faster, living shorter lives, and dying often.

Rush Limbaugh’s passing is akin to a woman in a fine dress farting at a black-tie gala. That woman in the delicate dress is America.

I do not feel sorry that Rush Limbaugh got killed by first-hand smoke. I do not feel sorry for him or his family. In light of that fact, I’m glad his ass is dead. …

Not-All Triggered Reflex

While I already knew that Black, Asian, and other nonwhite people exercise a reflexive “not-all” fragility argument, I never made the time to actually address it. Usually, I’ve addressed this issue when white people said “not-all” whites when no one said “all” at all. I can also point to an argument that’s tangentially related: the times when white people see “only” when they see the phrase, Black Lives Matter. These rhetorical devices are deployed for the same function, stating a strawman argument of what someone said, usually gaslighting the Black experience.

So what happened was…

The Story began when I read a brilliant article…

FM 3–24: Counterinsurgency

The year 2020 may have proven to be a wake up call to many Americans, with much civic dysfunction caused by police lack of accountability, capable of murdering people in plain sight, suffering minimal to no repercussions. With much civic dysfunction such as rebellions (you might be trained to call these riots) occurring, many people have ran behind totalitarian authority figures, such as Donald Trump and over conservative figures, and police, for answers.

Many of these citizens, holding an adversarial disposition towards civil rights, openly advocated for more police violence, such as a call for crackdowns on the public in…

The First Night Hitting the Streets

It was the end of May 2020. Earlier that day, I just got off the phone with my photographer buddy Tim in Kentucky. We were talking about street photography, documenting the protests and police interactions in Louisville. Breonna Taylor, a medical worker in Louisville, Kentucky, was unjustly killed by police. His hometown was hurting.

This was on top of the fact that a fellow named Ahmaud Arbery was unjustly murdered by civilian racists who essentially hunted him down in their truck in Georgia. And police unjustly killed a man named George Floyd, choking him to death for nearly eight minutes…

Gina Carano Fired for being stupid

Carano has tweeted false and baseless intimations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, suggesting that Donald Trump was its legitimate winner. She’s tweeted criticism of mask mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic. She has changed her Twitter profile to mock trans pronouns and posted anti-Semitic memes. ~ By Emily VanDerWerff, Vox, Feb 12, 2021

With a 7–1–0 fighting record, Gina Carano isn’t used to getting dropped. In light of a persistently horrendous anti-semitic, fascism-supporting social media presence, the House of Mouse however, gave her a swift L.

Disney (Lucas Films) dropped Carano faster than a live-action remake.

I think it…

Context: In a last-ditch effort to retain presidential power (which prevents Trump from being tried and convicted for his criminal activities), President Trump engaged in stochastic terrorism to initiate electoral suppression, by way of a violent coup, attacking the United States Capitol, in Washington D.C. This took place on January 6, 2021.

Strategic Mistakes

I don’t know how to say this, but I believe that not showing up to face off Trump’s fascist mob is a strategic mistake.

On November 7th, 2020, when Biden officially locked the votes to secure election win, scores and scores of Joe Biden supporters swarmed the streets…

The U.S. Patent Office has dropped the Washington Redskins name off from being a registered trademark. The Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has refused to change the team’s name, citing tradition, despite a highly racist history (the last to integrate with Black players, and was forced by the federal government to do so). The team can still use the name, but it would lose the legal power of trademark protection. This means anyone can use the name and logo at their own pleasure. …

We need more black villains in our stories.

Now, I don’t mean more drug dealers or gang leaders, or warlords. I mean the taking over the world, mass destruction, global-economy destabilizing, death-beam-from-above type of villains. The seductively charismatic, megalomaniac types. But they don’t even have to be that big. I’ll take a cerebral homicidal maniac who has been hiding bodies in the backyard for decades or a classy leader of a team of professional bank robbers. Something that gives us more than an exaggeratingly stereotypical Black character. Black villains full of depth and character. We need more magnificent Black villains.
