Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 11/10/20261) I just finished "End Time Fascism And The Fight For The Living World", by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. I encourage everyone to read it. They summarize everything that's happened since WWII. They provide clarity. We have a choice to make between world ending fascism and Earth saving cooperation. 100
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Ultimate truth about customer service - ignored by every politician I'm aware of, except for Elizabeth Warren. Remember when Obama didn't appoint her to head up the Consumer Protection Bureau that she worked hard to get created? Protecting consumers is as important as insuring elections. 110
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This is just part of the story. Read a book and get the whole story. 031
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This book brings together much of what we're observing and presents it as part of a coherent plan on the part of those engaged in bringing about fascism here and in Europe. It certainly makes the case for an unholy alliance of MAGA, Christian evangelism and high tech. I hope people will read it. 000

Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Partnership/Family/Life "Something Good" is a beautiful song. The older I get, the more I appreciate it. Kathy and I have been together for almost 50 years. We've had quite a journey and we're still moving along. Zach and Zoey round out our current family. They've been within us for over a decade. 000
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Naomi and Astra put a lot into perspective. Their latest book is an easy read. It's also frightening. The people organizing and driving all this murder and mayhem are delusional freaks. Yet they have millions following and supporting them. "My name is Legion, for we are many."

Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I started, "End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. This looks to be most interesting. I'll know more in a day or so. 011
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Wake Up! Get Oriented! I finished "Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor. Include: "The Shock Doctrine The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism" by Naomi Klein; "Blowout" by Rachel Maddow; and "Doughnut Economics" by Kate Raworth and you've got the perfect reading list. 010
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If you want to understand what passes for democracy in the United States, read "Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor. I hope to finish this tomorrow. It's excellent. It integrates so much information from so many sources into a single text. Read it and weep ... 032
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Turns out "democracy" is a meaningless word. "Voting" is another matter. Astra Taylor's book will cause you to pause and think. Thinking is a good thing. In this case, it's great to have a knowledgeable guide. 010
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I want to suggest this book to you. If you read it, let me know what you think. 120
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I started "Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor. It's quite a story. Astra traces the origins and evolution of democracy. I doubt most of us have a clue when it comes to "democracy", but we sure like to use the word a lot - while we're killing each other. 000
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026IMO, corporations aren't people and they're not entitled to free speech. I think this is similar. 042
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I may have posted these before. But they seem very pertinent today. 041
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 16/09/20262) The Shock Doctrine: The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism is one of my more recent reads. 140
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 16/09/20261) America is an empire in decline. Political parties are chimera created to distract us from what's truly going on. Politicians are people willing to take bribes and betray their fellow citizens. Friendly Fascism was one of the first books I read after Trump was elected. I've read so many more. 450
Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My library on hold list: "Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor; "End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor; and "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan 010
