Beginning of the Zhuangzi in pencil and marker. Sorry for the bad handwriting. Note how Zhuangzi immediately sets the tone of relativism and perspective: the cicada and little dove can’t fathom the pov of Peng/Kun.

Easy hypothesis to test. Unionize. Then we see. Suddenly all that progressive language becomes absolutely farcical. I think it was @emilybrier.bsky.social who describes college/uni progressivism as a "veneer."

Obviously the Patriot Act was a blatant roll back of our civil rights, and through fear mongering and manufacturing consent the government can now spy on, arrest people and jail them without charges as long as they are labeled with the ambiguous term “terrorist.”

Imagine how jury selection is going to go for this CEO killer case. Prosecutors will have to ask questions like "do you have a problem with millionaire CEOs denying insurance claims to sweet old Italian mothers who are living in constant pain, so the shareholders can buy a second yacht?" Good luck.

If our liberal, capitalist societies were as just as they claim to be, we’d be talking about social murder by corporate executives and bought political leaders the way we do more visible homicides.

Social murder (German: sozialer Mord) is a concept used to describe an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence. Originally coined in 1845 by German philosopher Friedrich Engels, it has since been used by left-wing politicians, journalists and activists to describe deaths they attribute to larger social forces.
