They can call themselves what they please. They can even call themselves "Christians," if the irony doesn't choke them as they speak. It's just a label. What they can't do is say they ever paid any serious attention to the teachings of Christ.

All you can do with it is kick it in the nuts, smash it in the mouth, or shoot it down when it gets to that point. But you can't reason with it. And the attempt is counterproductive.

I gave up on reasoning with conservatives some years back. I used to. People who've known me for years know this to be true. But fascism isn't an ideology. It has no principles. There's no there, there. It's the worship of raw power.

I don't feel sorry for them. Their lives are probably horrible because they screwed up, and even those who legit got screwed? Had the option of being angry at the people who screwed them rather than people who have nothing to do with them.

Sole strike me as perfectly healthy for the right people. But good God, the world is hard enough. It amazes me that people have the energy to be mad about this shit. I can only think that their own lives are so horrible that being angry at others is all that makes them feel even a little better.

The history of Palestine and Zionism didn’t begin on October 7th. The Ongoing Nakba began in 1948 when Israel expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages. And for decades before the Nakba, the settler-colonial project was in the process of developing.

Looking forward to Doomsday. I probably watch 10-20 hours of Marvel a year. Occasionally sometime tries to to mock my big swinging artist dick by saying that people with big swinging dicks don't do that. But there's nothing wrong with cheeseburgers. I probably eat twenty of those a year too.

I don't really care how people describe the Scandinavian countries. The people who hate socialism, and I'm pretty fucking skeptical of that crowd, like to insist it's capitalism. Fine. Let's have more high tax welfare state capitalism. Good talk.

Daniel Keys Moran @fatsam.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'd probably argue that capitalism strongly regulated is still the best known economic system. (And indeed, that that's what the Scandinavian systems mostly are.) Harnessing selfishness and greed is useful. Good servants, bad masters. Boy, we're in the bad masters phase.

Two trains have collided. The train to the left is labeled the only planet we know of that supports life.

The train to the right is labeled an economic system that shares the same principles as that of the cancer cell.

That's it. I outlined that story and will probably turn it into a novella at some point. But only the first thirty pages of it ever got written. Typical of my Hollywood work. I got paid -- only one of my scripts never got at least optioned. But they never came up with the money for me to finish it.

Fragment, "Dragons" screenplay, mid-90s. Kevin's ear is bleeding from a gunshot.

SMART ASIAN BOB: You should be careful with that. I knew this Bad Canadian once who got his ear pierced and it got infected, and there was a blood clot, and the blood clot got free and moved up into his brain and killed him.

KEVIN: That is a ridiculous story.

JACK: I’d say it passes belief. Who ever heard of a Bad Canadian?

DUMB WHITE FRANK: Oh, Canadians go bad.

SMART ASIAN BOB: And when they do, they’re the worst.

KEVIN: A bad German, maybe.

JACK: “A Bad Australian.” Doesn’t that sound better? If you tell that story again, you change it to a bad Australian. Then people won’t doubt you so much.

SMART ASIAN BOB: That’s a true story!

JACK: Damn it, that’s not the point.

DUMB WHITE FRANK: Well, what is the point then?

JACK: Plausibility. If you’re telling a story, it doesn’t need to be true, it just has to *seem* true, to be believable. Plausibility is the essence of storytelling; truth has nothing to do with it. Plausibility, boys, plausibility is the key.

Kevin glances at his watch.

KEVIN: It’s about time to go rob the lizard people.
