The fact that we are spending taxpayer money on the thought police is just icing on the Clown cake. Do Mary Poppins tunes count as malign creativity? Or is it something worse?

i found it Scary Poppins, pretty much the only thing on the internet that needs deleting is her

If you look carefully in the corner, I’m told, you can see her most recent journal entry:

“All work and no play makes Nina a dull girl

All work and no play makes Nina a dull girl

All work and no play makes Nina a dull girl…”

More like Crazy Poppins😏…

The fact that someone saw her ravenous performance and thought ‘Yatz is the guy’ is mind boggling… oops, wrong scenario…

Just so.

Reminiscent of the Hayek quote:

"If socialists understood economics, they wouldn't be socialists".

Expand full comment

I don't think anyone understands economics, least of all economists, whose predictive powers seem no better than astrologers. You don't even need a qualification to call yourself an economist. I own books debunking economics written by qualified economists. It's that bad.

And if Adam Smith were able to visit us today, he might say something like: where did my invisible hand go? It's all just an invisible hand job!

DSM IV - R has the woman covered--‘a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity’ as evidenced by 5 or more of the following:

1. Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment

2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships

characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization

and devaluation.

3. Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self

image or sense of self.

4. Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless

driving, binge eating).

5. Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self mutilating behavior.

6. Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days).

7. Chronic feelings of emptiness.

8. Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g.,

frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical

fights).

9. Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe

dissociative symptoms.

10. frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, identity disturbance, difficulties with anger, and intense and unstable interpersonal relationships.

There's four maybe someone kind locate a fifth.

She's an artifact of the malaise that's America's backdrop right now. The "who do I fuck to get this job" song clip was the apex, IMO.

Uh-oh...context-based content?! We can't possibly take context into account, it might lead to logical conclusions and we all know how dangerous those can be!

Expand full comment

Are we just going to sit by and allow a "ministry of truth" to be formed as if it is divinely inspired?

I say no. What about you?

Is the government of the people, for the people and by the people going to censor the people into an inconsequential existence?

Are we going to continue our lives as if nothing is happening while the very essence of being American is wiped from the face of the earth?

Think about what you can do and then do it.

It is not a "ministry of truth" nor is it Orwellian. We know this because the party told us this. This is not censorship. It is hear to protect you. All this characterization of this caring and necessary protection as censorship is misinformation. We know this because the party told us this.

"Key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include:

The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:

For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19."

Nobody has done more to undermine public trust in US Government instructions more than those institutions themselves. Their complete failure is the entire reason that people are looking elsewhere for information that matches reality. I certainly didn’t want to spend two years of my life digging into the official data that directly contradicts the official narrative, but here we are.

If this is your first trip to the ‘subversive’ list, welcome aboard! But also sort of shame on you for it taking this long! :)

I agree - I'm just not optimistic - those of us who want to end the trouble are so, so few and those who are creating the trouble are in control at the moment and there are oceans of people in between the two sides who either agree with the troublemakers, or don't care enough to do anything about it.

We are witnessing, first-hand right before our eyes, evil incarnate, the dissolution of The Great American Experiment and morphing into a dystopian totalitarian nightmare run by globalists elites, for globalist elites, with pathetic minions carrying their water headed by Big Sis.

Well shoot, now I know how people named Adolf felt in the late 1930s. I am so bummed. My actual, real name is Nina. It's taken years but I had finally come to like it. And now I feel like I may have to change it. F*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

One of the most striking features of the woke progressives is their humorlessness. They really don’t have any fun. They are angry all the time. Rabid, seething with rage because some conservative or libertarian somewhere is enjoying himself or herself.

“If your enemy is angry irritate him…”-Sun Tzu

We ought to ridicule these dour, irrational censorious scolds relentlessly. They are too stupid to reason with. They are essentially self-parodies now. All we have to do is point and laugh.
