"The alliance of leftists and woke capitalists hopes to regulate the innermost thoughts of every American, from school age to retirement. And they’ve trained enforcers of the woke orthodoxy to monitor dissent or misbehavior.

When I keep seeing variations of the same meme (see Bernie Sanders), I know it's time to unplug for awhile.

"The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it; and a State which postpones the interests of their mental expansion and elevation, to a little more of administrative skill, or of that semblance of it which practice gives, in the details of business; a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes... " 1/2
I am in such despair at the decline of liberty that I've bought new copies of Orwell's 1984 and JS Mill's On Liberty in case they are banned. Kindle versions not enough at this point.

I've started a learning to program Python book. TIL that in Python, 2+2 =4, whereas 0.1+0.2 = 0.30000000000000004. Maybe the critical race theorists have a point.

Take a moment to absorb the collective magnitude of these two pictures ...

MOB INVESTORS: GameSpot is up 174% in January, mostly driven by young left-wing lunatics using Robin Hood, and when a stock analyst company said it was overvalued, an ANGRY MOB went to the guy's private HOME and threatened him!
So now the markets really are driven by a lunatic left-wing mob. Antifa is now determining stock prices, essentially:

"I advise that this place be shut up at once."
"But everybody's having such a good time?"
"Yes, much too good a time. The place is to be closed."
"But I have no excuse to close it."
"Find one."
Sound familiar?
...however that is one of the most exceptional performances of a national anthem in history.
