  • You know, as a younger man priding myself in having a fair and balanced political opinion based on facts and logic, I used to think that if people can strike it rich, it’s okay as long as they don’t ruin the lives of others doing so.

    Not anymore. As I aged, I realized the motherfuckers were either born rich, or became rich on the backs of others - and more often than not, both.

    I still have nothing against honest rich men. But what that means is, close to retirement in 2025, I increasingly want all rich men dead.

    Because the truth is, in our society, there is no honest rich man. If you’re rich today, somebody else is struggling in life so you can have it good. That’s just how it is today.













  • Do an end-run around the crazy bobby brainworm and his ilk.

    You know, if you push this logic to its logical conclusion, you should also go around FEMA, federal education, federal SS paramilitary disguised as immigration officers, illegal federal taxes disguised as emergency tariffs…

    And when your state has enough federal nonsense to go around, it might want to defederate entirely, and that’s called secession.

    Your state of Colorado might not be big enough to amount to much on its own in the world, but larger states like California, with the GDP of large nations, really should consider it. Because while the federal ship is still afloat, the entire deck and rigging are on fire at this point.



  • But I thought Trump could declassify things just by thinking about it? His words, not mine.

    That’s where you’ve been had. Trump doesn’t think. He says any old shit that goes through his deranged mind at any given moment, even if it makes no sense or contradicts what he said 5 minutes earlier.

    Coherent thinking is done for him by other people - namely the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. Those particular sonsabitches never wanted a pedo president, nor do they want anything declassified. But Trump is the best fascist racehorse they could find in 50 years, so they put up with his shenanigans.



  • In many countries, your best bet is to get sponsored, or otherwise helped by your employer in the country of destination. If they won’t help you, you simply apply for a resident visa.

    In Canada for example they have (or at least they used to have, I don’t know if this still applies) a system of points whereby you get x percent for having this or that skills in demand, x percent for speaking both French and English, x percent for having found an employer in Canada already… and the visa is granted automatically if your total is over 80% or something to that effect.

    In Australia, I got a visa by proving that I had a bunch of money on my bank account. Again, I don’t know if it still applies today, but at least back then, all Australia was interested in is whether you could take care of yourself financially or if you were a bum coming to leech off welfare. I didn’t really have the money, I asked friends and family to lend me as much as possible to make my account fat enough to enter the country, then I gave them the money back.

    As for Europe, I had dual citizenship (not anymore, I gave up my American citizenship). So I didn’t have to do anything to enter the EU country I have citizenship with. Once in the Shengen area, you can relocate anywhere you want without asking permission.




  • Well, like I said, it’s not for everyone.

    Even in the best of times, the United States is a country that requires a background level of stress and paranoid to live in it. You realize that when you move to another developed country where you don’t have to lock your door or wonder whether the next person you meed is armed, mentally unstable or up to no good.

    Even before this whole fascist shitshow got started in 2001, I considered the US a lost cause that’s not really worth fighting for. Dubya and the USA Patriot Act was the thing that finally pushed me to leave.

    I only have a finite number of hours on this dirtball and I fully intend to spend them as best I can with my family and my children, and offer them a good life. I don’t have time to fight for lost causes.

    It’s a choice ultimately. Emigration isn’t for everybody. If you want to stay and try to make America better, more power to you. I just want people to know that life is sweeter elsewhere.
