I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷‍♀️

okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?

…cluttered? the fuck?

has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?

zip ties, the metal reinforced ones are called wire cuffs. get used a lot at protests and other mass arrests, too.

wire cuffs; reinforced zip ties.

I think we should be shaming anyone who goes into LE, ACAB; melanin doesn’t change that.

black lesbian cop, who is of course in the GOP.

OMG adorable wolf with kitty friends! this sounds pretty awesome.

why can fascists only imagine a better world when they’re trying to make it sound awful?

every single time the american military has been kicked to shit it’s been by barefoot peasants with rifles old enough to retire, and never enough of them to arm every soldier.

I said all this.

and I ask again: are you currently having an existential crisis about the limits of knowledge and the fundamental contradictions of knowledge? are you courting chapel perilous? are you balancing on the knifes edge of zen and madness? because that’s the only way I can explain this level of skepticism.

i keep imply an existential crisis about the limits of knowledge, because we pretty-much know, and that’s the only good-faith assumption I can think of that explains the uncertainty here.

pissed? sure. ‘murder someone about it’? unlikely. the things we get THAT upset about are entirely different.

okay but we do have information. I addressed that in points one and two. we do have information. I told you what information we have. so I return to point five, and wonder if you need a hug.

he searched for both biden and trump (and I think some others?) events because he didn’t care WHO he shot, just that it was important. the kid was a right winger, in specifically the way that children can be, and that motivated that he did a shooting, but not who he shot. correct. this is what I said originally.

I dont know if he knew what he believed

that is what I meant by ‘in the way that kids are’

plenty of people like to shoot guns. lefties, however, do not get butthurt because its a core part of our identities so when someone says ‘you’re so bad at shooting we dont even trust you to point that thing in the right ~120 degree arc to not risk shooting at us, go away’.

you addressed everything I said. so… what IS up with you? lets go back to point 5. feels like that’s more what this is about.

incel is more poetic and gives more a sense of scale. ‘misogynist’ without elaboration feels smaller, less accurate.

its a compression issue, dear. sorry.

1. his social media accounts.

2. journalists have talked to people who knew him. he was like a center right dude, in the way stupid teens sometimes are.

3. the whole reason he decided to do this is because he got laughed off the school’s rifle team for being bad, and was so upset about it he decided to try to kill an ‘important’ person to prove it to them.

4. I think he said why? IDR the medium. I don’t super care. look it up.

5. why are you saying we don’t know? are you just now stumbling into the fundamental limits of knowledge and epistemological uncertainty and having an existential crisis and getting an urge to build a time machine so you can go back to when kurt godel was alive so you can MURDER HIM and never have to think about this again? are you okay? do you need a hug and an ice cream koan? can I help? not with the time machine; kurt godel is one of like three mathmeticians whose work I actually like,but, you know, with your feels?

the shooter was a right winger. we know this. it was not ideologically motivated, dude just wanted to do something ‘important’, and his right wing beliefs led him to believe shooting someone, which he was insecure about, was what he should do.

brevity, especially in explicitly political messages, matters. nuance WILL be lost, communication has two sides, and sometimes you cannot convey perfect truth, you need to lose a little fidelity. so “JD vance is an incel” is true enough for literal government work.

just because he’s fucked, doesn’t mean he’s gotten any better. doesn’t mean he doesn’t hate women any less. probably resents having to fuck one for his public image.

he’s an incel who got laid. philosophically, psychologically, socially, he still is. he just got his dick wet a few times. as much as they whine about it;the difference isn’t big enough to waste valuable bandwidth defining.

philosophically he really really is, in the same way andrew tate (except for thinking he’s hot, which incels don’t do) is.
