Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…

  • In 2015, he wrote an article titled ‘Yes, Diversity is About Getting Rid of White People (and That’s a Good Thing)’ attributing it to a fake author named “Emily Goldstein”. The article was later retweeted by Elon Musk.

    Crazy to think about the butterfly effect and how much societal damage one person can cause…















  • Ah, Gary Johnson. I had such high hopes for him in 2016…

    It was my first presidential election as an eligible voter, and this was before the alt-right co-opted libertarianism. All I knew was that I hated trump, and I was being bombarded with anti-Clinton propaganda so I didn’t like her either (but not for the right reasons, like how she’s a neoliberal capitalist).

    I didn’t know enough about Bernie at the time. I didn’t know enough about leftism or the world in general to consider myself a progressive yet. I hadn’t even entered the cocoon in which I later metamorphosed into a full-blown socialist throughout my mid-twenties.

    Gary Johnson… my first vote in a presidential election… sigh

    Those were… simpler times…


  • Or… hear me out… and this can only occur in a society capable of critical thinking, so it would never happen in america, but…

    How about a phased-implementation in which transit and apartments are built concurrently, according to a plan aiming towards the final result.

    If you build the transit first, it needs a giant parking lot. If you build the apartments first, they need giant parking lots. If you build them simultaneously and plan them to finish around the same time, you don’t need parking lots.


  • The danger in capitalism is if your enemy has more money than you…they win. You can’t afford to defend yourself.

    They don’t even need more money than you, if they’re using weapons that cost $20K per, and you’re shooting them down with weapons that cost $800M per or more, it’s basic attrition.

    Add to that, you fire off all your stockpiles of $4B weapons in the opening gambit because you have no competence as a military strategist, fired all your top brass, and replaced them with sycophantic yes men.

    And meanwhile your population at home is growing more discontented as they feel the squeeze tightening more and more each day, while government support is being stripped away and their tax dollars are going into the pockets of billionaires. And they’re simultaneously being extorted for healthcare, rent, utilities, and groceries; education begins to feel out of reach and offer diminishing returns; opportunities for dignified labor vanish along with the potential for a livable salary.

    Sooner or later if something doesn’t bend, it’ll break. And when it does it’ll be catastrophic for the system as a whole. And at that point, you already blew through your weapons stockpiles on pointless wars while refusing them to your former allies in their time of need. Nobody is gonna have your back when it all comes crashing down on you.

    Yeah, the United States is fucked. Hopefully Iran and China have more humanity when they inevitably invade in the next ten years or so. Hopefully they don’t bomb civilians and civilian infrastructure the way the US government is doing to Iran right now…

    But between Russia invading Ukraine, Israel in Palestine, and now the US in Iran, all of whom seem to be getting away with it scot free… it’s setting a precedent that I do not like one bit…

    Dark days are ahead for the world, I fear…
