I thought it was a joke the first time I saw it. Then I wondered "does this person actually think people want this?" What kind of person do you have to be to write something like "to be a woman online is an inherently dangerous act"? Maybe there's a secret portal, somewhere between the 7th or 8th floor of the building of say, Tik-Tok or Twitter headquarters, where I can enter her consciousness to get an understanding of that mindset because I really don't get Being Nina Jankowicz.
Have you not learned? It doesn't really matter who is elected, as the president is but a figurehead, the cat's paw for those who really run things from behind the scenes.
I am 74 and I really get being Nina Jankowitz. I am autistic other than being born a talented psychologist I am not really that good at being sophisticated. I am autistic and in order to fit in, you must learn who is Big Brother and who is Emmanuel Goldstein.
The funny thing about 1984 is that I argued we were in 1984 in 1964.
1964 was when the average American had reached his pinnacle of share of wealth and power. 1964 Barry Goldwater was nominated by the GOP. It was the year Ronald Reagan made his Time For Choosing speech where he said 1933-1964 were the worst nightmare to ever befall America.
This is what America chose in 1980. I know who George Orwell was and is. He was Bernie Sanders the other side of the Reagan coin. Reagan sold his soul for thirty pieces of Roman silver. Before Bernie I knew Vermont as Mississippi North. Today Vermont does politics not culture and does it better than any state in your fractious union.
Popular wisdom is indeed popular but wisdom is subjective especially for we children being cut in half. Forgetting about Solomon's wisdom do we cut the baby in half?
Is America educating its children to be citizen king's. The roots of democracy is with philosopher kings. How did that work out? How Socratic is the USA where truth is whatever it is made out to be?
It is time for two secessionist parties and a unionist party. Maybe you can call the Unionists some more appropriate name like Utopians: A place that does not exist.
I would agree but I think That is not More's Utopia. It sounds more like Dante's lowest level of Hell. I remember Twain's Hell was listening to Angels lifting their voices on high for eternity. I cannot imagine wanting to be Trump for a picosecond. What an ugly environment for someone with wisdom and compassion but right now he is on the right side of history for nihilists like Putin, MBS, Duterte, Modi, Kim and Bolsonaro.
Yep. Everytime they push an extreme policy it's always to be on the right side of history. If the people reject it, it's never because it sucks. It's always because they didn't explain it to us correctly.
Thank you Deb. It took me 70 years to learn how to write. I still use a kindergarten keyboard and can only type on the middle finger of my right hand.
I learned qwerty in a typing class 45 years ago. I type 2 characters a second and still can't find qwerty on the keyboard.
That is why the fascist racist public intellectual Woodrow Wilson established the Committee on Public Information. He was more than Princeton . He was the Ivy League, Rockefeller U and Europe's leading Big Brained Elite.
Have you read Samuel Longhorn Clemens the Gilded Age? That Clemens guy was one great journalist. I think he played middle linebacker in Austin. Maybe that was Langhorne. Bad things happen after being hit on the head and banging your head against the wall for 74 years.
I hate to sound completely and totally mad but I never could do school but I think I was about 4.5 when I read Dante's Inferno it was one of the books in the library along with Tales of the Decameron and 1001 nights. Franklin was a journalist and a philosopher and public intellectual and polymath and he wrote an entire library just like Samuel Johnson and Edmund Burke. Rich people had time to read and write it was a privilege God had granted them.
Oliver Cromwell was a Republican and he believed in Divine Right. More was pre-Elizabethan.
Milton , Newton and Locke weren't even born.
Thomas More 1478-1535
See Ignatius of Loyola 1491-1556
More was a Franciscan before there were Jesuits.
I am a member of the Thomas More Institute.
I don't know what to say about the the USA. Benjamin Franklin was a radical liberal public intellectual, scientist, journalist who believed in Darwin's evolution before Darwin developed his theory of the mechanism. Benjamin Franklin rejected all religion. He was a Deist.
Newton said: "We are standing on the shoulders of giants" and without Franklin there would have never been Marx and without Locke, Milton and Newton there would have been no Franklin. Franklin and Voltaire were contemporaries and Franklin was bilingual and spent many days in Montreal where he organized a giant tea party.
Gaslighting is nothing Shakespeare didn't understand.
Shakespeare truly understood gaslighting he was Elizabethan, More was a Franciscan serving Elizabeth's father.
More was Pope Francis not an American Catholic he was a Franciscan like in Francis of Assisi and Greta Thunberg.
Milton was a liberal Puritan, Ben was slightly less agnostic than Milton. Milton was a Unitarian. Unitarians are like the polar opposite of Southern Baptists or Calvinists. They are secular humanists and therein lies America's divide.
Franklin or John Adams. John Adams was a Federalist Westphalian Europhile and Franklin was a secular humanist.
The GOP is nothing new. Oliver Cromwell was a war criminal. He committed Genocide in Ireland and Scotland and brought misery and sorrow to England.
Not to mention, the Goldwater Girl, Hillery. Not a libertarian exactly but a major player in the Ukraine mess and a lot of the messes we face today. How come these creepy politicians from decades ago are still around and wielding power. Sick!
I never know the right words to explain. Chomsky is a Libertarian and Goldwater was a conservative and Karl Hess III was a libertarian writer and philosopher whose friendship with Goldwater was considered treason by committed Libertarians. Libertarianism is a fundamental change in the way we organize human society. It is the opposite of conservative. Libertarianism is extreme liberalism.
Goldwater's speech writer Karl Hess III was a LIbertarian, Goldwater was a shopkeeper. Most Libertarians disowned Hess and considered him a conservative which is fundamentally authoritarian. The idea of a social democracy was part of the enlightenment but in 1776 the founders were divided on the efficacy of social democracy. Adams was a Federalist and we are still waiting for his concession speech from 1800 when Jefferson became president.
True and this is what happens when a biased MSM covers up BidenтАЩs cognitive decline during the campaign ( as well as cover up the obvious Biden family corruption)
THANK YOU!! One truly has to pause to consider why the msm were willing acolytes in that carefully choreographed charadeтАж Biden is good at one thing and one thing onlyтАж denouncing тАЬpoliticsтАЭ and then being the most political hate fueling President ever тАж fortunately, I think the number of people who realize theyтАЩre being manipulated is growing.
Humor is the one thing propaganda cannot do. SNL and Minister of Truth Jankowicz prove that. I am reminded of Robert Anton Wilson's quote тАЬItтАЩs not true unless it makes you laughтАж.тАЭ I alway thought that was a cute idea, but now IтАЩm beginning to understand what he meant.
When they are funny, they are not doing propaganda; when they are doing propaganda, they are not funny. I don't know about Noah (because I've never really watched him, including his recent roast of Biden at the Correspondents Dinner), but Stewart is generally back in form. Marr, after falling victim to Trump Derangement Syndrome, is now recovering his senses and doing actual comedy again (though not yet consistently). Perhaps the greatest genius among them, Colbert is now a hopeless sellout, probably beyond recovery; nothing he says is funny. So I'm going to stand by the Wilson quote. BTW, the whole quote is "ItтАЩs not true unless it makes you laugh, but you donтАЩt understand it until it makes you weep."
Good quote. That's why I keep a disintegrating copy of The Illuminatus Trilogy near the toilet. It's about the only way to take the Erisian content into a Discordian format-Burroughs/Gysin cut-up works for that.
Every time that fucking Nina Jankowicz clip is played, a unicorn dies.
More like a little bit of our freedom dies.

Careful, donтАЩt go too high, IтАЩm pretty certain her elevator doesnтАЩt go to the top floor.....
I wonder, what kind of President of the United States appoints this whacko as a тАЬTruth Minister тАЬ ??
Have you not learned? It doesn't really matter who is elected, as the president is but a figurehead, the cat's paw for those who really run things from behind the scenes.
The 44th one.

Utopia does exist. It's were all the people on the right side of history reside.

Barry Goldwater as President was the unicorn dream of libertariansтАж..
Not to mention, the Goldwater Girl, Hillery. Not a libertarian exactly but a major player in the Ukraine mess and a lot of the messes we face today. How come these creepy politicians from decades ago are still around and wielding power. Sick!
I saw an interview between Goldwater and Chomsky. Chomsky ran intellectual circles around Goldwater. Just google it.
but, Barry could ride his horse in circles around Naom...Populists have friends, too.
I never know the right words to explain. Chomsky is a Libertarian and Goldwater was a conservative and Karl Hess III was a libertarian writer and philosopher whose friendship with Goldwater was considered treason by committed Libertarians.

Even her name sounds like an insult....
Who will play her in the movie?)))
Alyssa Milano.
perfect. Or any of the women in "Heathers."

Perfect.
I would've spilled the coffee on the keyboard had I had any at the moment.
WMPL!!!
Shitlibby Fascista
Great Movie. Haven't watched it in many years. Time to watch it again.
She might have ruined that song for me for life! Damn it.
And her parody lyrics are neither clever, nor funny. Can we censor her?
Yeah, that's the thing. They're convinced they are sooo clever...
Which explains why SNL hasn't been funny in 30 years....
Humor is the one thing propaganda cannot do. SNL and Minister of Truth Jankowicz prove that. I am reminded of Robert Anton Wilson's quote тАЬItтАЩs not true unless it makes you laughтАж.тАЭ I alway thought that was a cute idea, but now IтАЩm beginning to understand what he meant.

When you get to the end it is utterly depressing.
No, it really isn't. Chief escapes, life goes on. (It is depressing, just not utterly)
I saw the movie first. Not sure what is better :)
totally hilarious
Wow. First time I actually played that clip. This wackjob is their arbiter of 'truth' ?
We live in very interesting times.
no, we live in wacko times...
There aren't that many unicorns in the whole world.
That's what I'm saying, dude. It's not like they grow on trees. A little less profligacy might be warranted.
Fuck the unicorn, every time that clip is played a piece of me dies.
oh, that's funny
...by suicide.
A HERD of unicorns, a whole freaking herd.
lol
Dude, hate the message, love the messenger - as a Supercalifragulous meme, she nails it.
Sure the lyrics are nails across blackboard. But the performance is S tier
I thought the performance aspect was fine. People were insulting it and I thought "Nah. That's kinda knee-jerk."
Yikes!
Thanks for the heads up. I heard something about that but not the detail.
