      Love this —

      Again, we find ourselves in the territory of Doing Something Crazy. When the collective will fails, the person of conscience must step up for the good of history ————

      This isn’t always the case; however, we are in a time where there is a disturbing assimilation mindset that is tainting collective Will (which should be working together in innovative ways without forcing any one individual to be under your thumb).

        The best lack all conviction and the worst are full of horse dewormer, and they’re winning.

      This is a great article and I will lend my voice to it's recommendation to read the relatively short book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" which was just a really excellent read.

      There are so many quotable lines in this article that I've decided not to quote any of them, else I'd be pasting half the article into this comment.

      I think this is the first article I've read that makes an analogue between a living politician and baby Hitler. Actually, I changed my mind; I'm going to quote a single line from this article:

      Please do not kill anybody — not Sen. Manchin or anyone else.

      (For the record; I would not kill baby Hitler. It does not end well.)

      Anyway, Pelosi announced in Glasgow that USA is back. "For the next year and a half" were the words she left unsaid. Next year the democrats will lose the house and senate, no significant legislation will be passed for the following 6 years, and one of the first things emperor-president-for-life Greene will do in January 2029 is tear the Glasgow treaty to tiny little pieces and piss on them live on Fox News.

      (By the way, if you like the Trolley Problem, check out the card game Trial by Trolley. It's in the same vein as Cards Against Humanity, but less crass and with more actual gameplay, designed and illustrated by the deranged minds behind the Cyanide & Happiness web-comic.)
