ulysses @justinulysses.bsky.social · 25/01/2026White nationalism: it’s not surprising that the most incompetent white people in America want to remove people of color - they know they can’t compete in a fair society. It’s not ‘white supremacy’ when deep down they know they’re the inferiors. Not because they’re white, but because they’re losers. 000

ulysses @justinulysses.bsky.social · 18/09/2025The term “strongman” only works ironically. Nothing illustrates weakness more clearly than an inability to tolerate criticism and dissent. A head of state who uses threats of prosecution, violence, and retaliation to silence critics, dissidents, and journalists is not a leader. They are a despot. 000

ulysses @justinulysses.bsky.social · 22/07/2025The next time you’re in a position to use the cliche “Not gonna lie” (as in “Not gonna lie: I’m scared!”) you could flip it around in a way that means the same thing and is less stale: “I’m gonna lie: Not scared!” 000
ulysses @justinulysses.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Let’s make sure everybody is clear that “strongman” only makes sense ironically. Any crackpot despot who can’t abide peaceful protestors without calling in the marines is in fact a weakman. 000

ulysses @justinulysses.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Remember, the term “strongman” only applies to despots ironically. Strong men don’t respond to criticism by arresting their critics, derailing their economies, defunding their universities, or deporting their citizens. These are weak men, neither novel nor noteworthy in the nature of their weakness. 000
