is this accurate?

no. 

in recent years, i tend to argue that i agree with about 25% of the democratic party's platform and about 25% of the republican party's platform, and disagree with 75% of both of their respective platforms. i consequently oppose them equally and agree with them equally, but there's almost no overlap.

it is correct in pointing out that i'm a socialist and align much further to the left than the democrats, but the way these ideas are presented in today's spectrum is often confused. i actually wouldn't vote for the socialist party because i think they're too right-wing and too authoritarian. stalinism has re-emerged in critical theory and needs to be carefully resisted.

it has exaggerated my support for democrats and exaggerated my disinterest in republicans.

but these are the results and i want to post them as disclosure for transparency.

i am a heterosexual female.

i'm not gay. i've never been gay. i'm not a gay ally. i've never had any gay friends and i don't want any gay friends. i don't want anything to do with gay people at all and i'm not interested in gay culture. if some gross ass pirate tried to fuck me, i'd beat the shit out of him for it and call him a faggot while i was breaking his worthless faggot face in for being a disgusting faggot.

i think gay people are completely disgusting.

do you understand?

this is an example of the kind of complete retardedness that i'm dealing with.

i have a large pile of cardboard boxes in front of the heater. it's a clear fire hazard. it didn't matter when the heat was off during the summer, and it's been a warm fall. as of friday, the heat remained off and i was putting off doing something about it until i could determine if i was going to be here or not.

the disgusting faggot freaks cut a hole in the floor to break in here to drug me with testosterone as a part of their sick faggot fantasies. i am not gay. i am not a gay ally. i think homosexuality is a mental illness. i don't think it's worth persecuting because it isn't harmful (except in situations like this, where the correct thing to do is put the faggots in jail), but i have no interest in tolerating faggots in my personal life. i have never had a gay friend and i don't want to have gay friends; i don't respect gay people, and i don't respect the choice that gay people make to be gay. yes, being gay is a choice. nobody is born gay. i need the boxes there to keep the fucking faggots out and to stop them from drugging me. i'm not interested in their gross, perverted fantasies. at all.

if you're trans, go be trans, i can tolerate that, but don't be a faggot. it's disgusting. polite society should have no real expectation to tolerate the fags in any real, meaningful sense.

after the adjournment until december 11th, i realized i would have to do something about this. the heat will need to come on in november.

so, i sent them an email asking them to avoid turning the heat on until i could address the issue. 

ten minutes later, the heat turns on. i have sent emails, i have yelled, and the heat remains on.

i am not going to remove the pile of cardboard until i am able to fix the issue in a way that prevents them from being able to enter the space, so we're living in a tinderbox of their own creation, which i have told them to turn off. they won't, and it's clear they won't.

why are they doing this?

it's not cold in here. my thermostat says 30 degrees. the place is insulated, there's computers on, the stove runs down here fairly fequently. 

they turned the heat on because i asked them not to and because they want to show me who the boss is.

that's the mentality of an eight year old child but i will never get anything more mature than that out of these abjectly retarded and utterly immature fucking faggot freaks. freud's description of homosexuality was as a symptom of arrested development and a low level of maturity, and his analysis of homosexualty is the only thing he actually got right. they want to control and dominate, like the overgrown children they are, which is what all gay people are - overgrown children that cannot mature into normal heterosexual adults due to some trauma that occurred in their childhood or due to some level of mental retardation brought on by some myriad of factors. gay people are essentially retards. that's what freud said, and it's the correct analysis.

i'm not interested in fighting with them or playing their childish games with them.

so, they can burn the fucking place down, then, and i'll just call them retards for doing it when it goes to court. i don't have time for this. i'm not interested.

it's looking very, very bad for the democrats.

north carolina is red. pennsylvania is very much leaning red. 

the actual swing states right now are probably nevada, wisconsin, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire, virginia, new mexico and i think the data strongly suggests trump will win at least half of them.

but, it doesn't matter. az, ga, nc, pa is game over. if trump holds those four states, the rest don't matter.

this term "forever war" is particularly stupid and facile and has this incredible level of ignorance baked into it.

ending the "forever war" suggests that perpetual war is something that is novel or unusual and that a state of normalcy is a state of peace. well, go hang out with some monkeys and tell me if you think that's still true.

war is like diamonds - it is forever. war is normal; it is a regular state of existence. peace is a hallmark disney cartoon fantasy phony reality that has never existed in history. even in the presence of dominant empires that succeed in slaughtering their closest competitors for a while, which are the periods of history that most closely resemble peace, war always exists on the edges. eliminating the "forever war" would require something like evolving into a different species, or perhaps global communism as a basic pre-requisite. yes, there will forever be war. you silly kids will have to grow up a little and deal with that.

oddly, this term is being associated with a left. what? it is the most basic, blatant expression of the burkean conservative perspective of hierarchical harmony, where everything is in it's right place, that i could imagine hearing articulated. you couldn't better encapsulate conservative philosophy than with the phrase "end the forever war", and liberals and socialists are supposed to make fun of the conservatives for believing in such silly fantasies, rather than interpreting reality through experiment and evidence. marx, particularly, wrote a theory about conflict. socialism is about perpetual war. that's what it is.

so, this is not a left, it's a right.

so, yes, we will have war forever, and we will have war forever until we have communism. you'll never end war without getting rid of capitalism, at the least. these kids aren't even trying to write a theory, here.

i don't think randomly sending everybody $200 as a "rebate" is a very responsible use of public funds. it brings to mind goofy economic ideas like social credit.

we're talking about roughly 3.5 billion dollars, which could be spent on hiring nurses or building subsidized housing. we're overseeing a historic failure in this government to deliver basic services, and the premier is talking about mailing out checks in order to starve the beast.

at the least, if you're going to mail out checks, apply some kind of progressive gradation on it so that the money goes to the people that need it. don't just send everybody $200; targeted government subsidies don't increase inflation, generally speaking, but just handing out $200 checks to everybody is an exceedingly inflationary measure.

fwiw, i would also oppose cutting taxes for middle class families. the government should be spending this money on services, not giving it back to taxpayers.

ultimately, if the government can't figure out how to spend an extra $3.5 billion dollars in the middle of an overpopulation crisis, we quite clearly need to get a new government. there's no deficit of obvious things to do with this cash. we need an infrastructure bill in ontario and we need a government that will write it.

biden's statement on what we call "residential schools" in canada suggests that the democrats realize they're likely going to lose new mexico, which is more evidence that the bottom is about to fall out.

bibi,

i know you're being precise and hitting military targets in iran and i love that you're doing that.

but can you blow up that fucking crane they use to hang people with for me?

thanks,

jessica

i'm not there yet. there remain hurdles to navigate.

however, i'm on the brink of outsmarting everybody, including the cops who are clearly out to get me.

i'm reminded of the meme that the no-talent guitarist used to repeat every time i walked out of a situation unscathed, largely because i was just trying to avoid getting into stupid conflicts that i didn't give a fuck about. 

this was the way he'd pick up the phone, and i watched him do this i don't know how many times.

"yeah, j outsmarted everyone. again."

i need the cash. really. buy my discographies.

i'm currently in an extremely difficult situation and i need some cash.

the more i yell at these disgusting people to go away, the more they harass me. they are pathetic losers; bottom-feeding trolls.

if you want to help me out, now is a good time to download some full discographies:

1) inri: 51 releases for $758. this is the synth pop and electro-grunge focused project i did when i was a teenager in the 90s. there is one pending inri project, inri086. 1994-1999.

https://jnrj.bandcamp.com/

2) deny everything: 21 releases for $355. this is the project for the post-inri experiments as i was trying to refocus and chart future paths, 1999-2000, and is about the 2000 american election. this project is completed. 1999-2000.

https://deny-everything.bandcamp.com/

3) j's adventures in guitarland: this is about the classical guitar lessons i took from 1999-2001. project on possibly indefinite hiatus. i won't come back to this until everything else is done first. i need a 21+ fret midi classical guitar with a pickup. if i can get into subsidized housing, i can do this; it may otherwise be a serious challenge to ever finish this. currently, 3 releases for $55, and no serious plans for more until i get to the very end of the process. 1999-2001.

https://adventuresinguitarland.bandcamp.com/

4) jjjjjjjjj: serious music project started in 2001 and worked on sporadically from 2001-2007 as unrealized scored music and then put on hold until 2014, then worked on intensely from 2014-2018. this project comprises symphonic works, official (instrumental) lps, academic projects and works of a more serious nature (more broadly), mostly written as scored pieces for large orchestras and performed by midi sequencers and software synthesizers (with frequent overdubbed live guitars and basses and sometimes with live keyboards and live drums and rarely with live flutes, mandolins or other instruments outside of the usual contemporary rock/jazz instrumentation). currently, 42 releases for $857. this is a continuing project that will continue growing and, in the end, will occupy the largest space in my discography, over the largest time frame, since 2001, although these releases are dated to their re-release cycle, beginning in 2013. 2001-2040.

https://jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj.bandcamp.com/

5) the cynicide collaboration: was supposed to be a live performance "rock band" style project put together by a high school acquaintance named jon, but he abandoned working on it before anything got done. i wrote one song for this project, with demoes dated to 2001 that was finished as a solo composition in 2014 in a style that was adjunct to that intended by jon. i have guitar demos of songs written and performed by jon that were intended to be cynicide collaboration songs, but i don't own the performances or the songs and should not release or complete them (and they're not that good, unless you like early 00s nu-metal). i would have, in the end, completely redone these songs as i was recording them (and, yes, i would have done all of the work), but i didn't do that then and i shouldn't do it now. this project is almost certainly permanently closed and completed, but i will state again that there are demos that i'm restraining myself from finishing on jon's behalf. as far as i know, jon is still alive, but his life will likely be much shorter than mine. initially summer of 2001, then completed in summer of 2014, both as short stints for a few months each. 2001.

6) rabit is wolf: successor project to the cynicide collaboration, made up of just me and the proposed singer. some demoes were recorded in 2001-2002 that were shelved and not finished until 2014-2015, when i finished them as a solo project (and removed sean's vocals in the process) and transferred the compositions to jjjjjjjjj. this project is completed and there will be no further recordings. 2001-2003.

7) fuel true anarchy in the americas: noise + politics, formed in 2001 after 9/11. a demo was released in 2004 and remastered and expanded for a 2021 re-release. i do not currently have plans to reopen this, but it is semi-permanently closed. 2001-2004.

8) the trivial group: this project developed out of the various ideas worked on from 2000-2002, contains aspects of all of them and is the only conceptually unified successor project to inri. unlike the other post-inri projects, it even includes vocals as a central part of the compositions, for the first time since 1999. the trivial group released a series of singles over 2002-2004, culminating in a gigantic 2xlp dated to mid 2005. i decided in 2005 to put the trivial group down and pivot to different ideas, conceptually, but as of 2025 it is still in post-production and it's release sequence is still being finalized. i still have work to do in finishing this project, but i don't intend to write further for it as the next series of tracks reformulated themselves for release in the proverbs project. 2002-2005. 

9) throatmotor: i played live bass for a band called throatmotor for about a year, from 2004-2005. the same acquaintance jon had joined the band as a guitarist and brought me in to play bass for him. throatmotor combined blink 182 or sum 41 style early 00s pop-punk lyrics and guitars on top of electronic post-production in the gravity kills or god lives underwater genre sphere, with a bit of an aphex twin vibe from the use of an actual minimoog, and was outside of my sphere of interest, as an artist. it was very syrupy, very poppy. i filled in because they needed somebody that could learn the songs fast and do it, and i tried to work with it by acting either more as a cellist (given that the songs had synth bass parts) and introducing harmonic counterpoint (for the slower songs) or as a third guitarist by introducing overlapping riffs (for the faster songs), but the reaction was muted, and i wasn't that interested in what they were actually doing and intending to do and i mutually separated from the band in mid 2005 (and was replaced by jon's girlfriend, at the time, who just followed the root notes, which is all they expected from me or wanted me to do). i did produce one short demo for throatmotor dated to early 2005 that has some of the characteristics of it (aphex-y synths, some wobbly time signatures, cut up drums, unison crescendos) and that i will complete under that moniker, but it was not well received and reflects the fact that we weren't on the same page, musically. a few bass parts were recorded, but i don't know what they did with them. i didn't record the parts myself and i don't remember the parts i wrote anymore. beyond completing this track, i wouldn't be further interested in throatmotor. 2004-2005.

10) akousmatikoi: 2002-2007.

11) cycles per second: 2004-2007.

12) tetris: 2003-2040.

13) pi: 2003-2040.

14) proverbs: 2007-200.

15) everything (at the new jessica amber murray site): 1994-2040.

i'm currently updating my text discography because it might be a while before i get back to it:

https://dsdfghghfsdflgkfgkja.blogspot.com/p/jessica-murray-one-stop-discography.html

this is the late 2003 and early 2004 sequence, between when i got back from bc and when i moved to sandy hill with red indicated "not done" and green indicating "complete":

this is the csis records update sequence:

so, incomplete release up to mid 2004 are restricted to inri075, inri077, inri078, inri086, inri087, inri092 & inri093. the rest are done.

adjourned again until dec 11th.

my landlord is trying to quash my appeal and the court isn't letting them do it.

they will need to deliver a response to my applications by nov 15th, so it doesn't make sense for them to keep trying to quash.

i was toying with the idea of endorsing harris at the last minute to block vance, but she keeps quoting bible verses, which makes her unelectable.

vance isn't quoting bible verses, at the least. or not yet.

it's the democrats that are starting to look like they're the more scary religionists at this point.

the candidates are both so horrible that i can't even find a lesser evil. they are both abominably terrible, they are both greater evils.

if there's some secularists down ballot on the democratic ticket, maybe they're worth supporting, but i want to endorse voting against donald trump and also endorse voting against kamala harris, whatever that means in your district.

listen.

yes, i support abortion rights. it's about self-ownership. i'm an anarchist. it's in the core of my politics.

further, yes, polling indicates young people support abortion rights and will vote for them if the issue comes up in a referendum.

however, i think i speak for most people under 50 when i point out that the existence of birth control and condoms makes abortion as a right somewhat of an uninteresting anachronism. if you're talking about people getting raped, that's one thing, and with a few exceptions even the most conservative states allow for abortion access in scenarios where people are getting raped. yet, it's a valid question to ask.

why weren't you on birth control?

why didn't you use a condom?

answers like "we got out of hand" are technically valid, but they don't produce an emotional or empathetic response. it's become an empty rights assertion that most people support in principle but that people are increasingly apathetic about.

people have the responsibility to make smart choices in life. less and less people care about bailing people out that make stupid decisions.

if you let the issue fester long enough, every single state in the united states will re-assert bodily autonomy and abortion rights.

however, the days where this is going to be a populist issue are long past as most people are going to shrug it off and say "you got pregnant? well, it's kind of your own fault, you stupid fucking idiot. it's hard to have empathy for you, when you were too fucking stupid to use a condom.".

there are more important issues in front of most people, politically, then the issue of whether irresponsible people have access to abortion or not, even if most people do support it, in principle.

i would never hang out with the women that bought the house or the people they moved in. they're a bunch of pathetic, disgusting, ugly, boring, backwards, gross, perverted losers.

the canadian government announced a 20% drop in immigration. sounds substantive.

is it enough?

well, that means going from 500,000 to 400,000. that is legal, official immigration; it is a cut of 100,000 legal new immigrants, officially.

i hope they don't just come anyways, or sign up as a temporary workers or foreign students. those numbers are not included in that number of 500,000.

canada is a big country geographically but has a dense population around the american border of around 40 million people. that would have been about a 1.5% increase in population, and is being instead reduced to about a 1.25% increase.

so, it amounts to a 0.25% decrease in projected immigration growth.

we need immigration reform in canada, there's no question, but the immediate issue in front of us is building enough housing, not making political decisions about immigration targets that are functionally trivial and will have next to no actual impact on anybody. the over-population issues we're dealing with took 20 years to build and cannot and will not be solved with minor tweaks over night. we need a major government-directed public works building project using public sector workers, land seizures via eminent domain, etc.

i'm still struggling to re-establish a sense of normalcy after covid. my life is not what it was previously, and it may never be. i am overwhelmingly worse off than i was before covid.

i want my pre-covid life back and will probably never get it back. covid-era policy restrictions may define the rest of my life.

but, for people under the age of 30 and especially under the age of 25 today, covid-era restrictions - and the traumatic experience of growing up in the pandemic - will form the core of experiences that define their entire life. what's after z is omicron. we haven't seen anything like this since the depression.

the reason young people are all of a sudden voting for right-wing parties isn't any of the reasons the media is imagining, and isn't some ideological shift, it's because the reality during the covid pandemic, which defined the youths of the current young generation, was that the democrats and liberals in general were the no-fun party and the republicans and conservatives (libertarians, really) represented the opposition to no-fun. joining the revolution meant siding with the republicans and the right against the no-fun of the democrats and the left.

that's not going to undo itself or go away.

that's probably permanent until some other cultural event changes it, 20 or 50 or 100 years from now. the next batch of young people will copy today's young people and etc. this is self-perpetuating.

the last similar cultural political shift was in the 1960s. what happened after 2020 is that opposing covid restrictions began to define the counter-culture, and it's going to slowly take over the mainstream as generational replacement sequentially removes the millennial generation from power.

as a musician, i'm actually happy to have a counter-culture back. there has been no counter-culture for my entire adult life. i wish i could get out of the house to experience it, but i'm stuck inside fighting with these stupid women trying to take over my apartment and steal my stuff. i'm on a path to a solution that will get me out to enjoy and participate in the counter-culture but it could take a while still.

it may be a better idea for liberals to try to take over the republican party, given that the authoritarian leftists in the democratic party represent a dead end, anyways. however, all of the symbols and marketing and relics of the democratic party are going to increasingly be a dead-end and a non-starter as they become moribundly unpopular as the covid-restriction no-fun emblems with an increasing share of the population, as boomers and xers and millennials slowly die out.

all of the models currently have georgia and arizona leaning republican. they should also have north carolina leaning republican but are dragging their feet in doing it. this doesn't factor in the difficulties that black people will have in actually voting in north carolina, either. it may be justified to have michigan leaning democrat, and michigan is the state that democrats have the best chance of winning because detroit is so black, but that is still a stretch. none of the other states should be leaning blue right now, and the data is bordering on colouring pennsylvania in as leaning red.

i want to be very clear what {ar, ga, nc} as republican means, even if you're generous and give nevada, new mexico, new hampshire and maine to the democrats. at 261 safe or almost safe ec votes, the republicans only have to win one more state - minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania or virginia - to win. there are also more complex combinations involving the forfeited states.

there is no question that trump is the clear favourite, beyond careful language and beyond ambiguity. it is very clear.

it should be pointed out that this is basically a reversal of the map from 2016 when trump had to win all three states, and did, and almost won minnesota, too. however, the trends are moving in the opposite direction, right now, and have been for quite a while.

what we're going to see in a few weeks is that the democrats need to completely rebuild their brand and marketing image. democrats need to understand this: they're not the cool kids. at all. they're losers. they're unpopular.

everything else aside, i think that the democrats' embrace of covid restrictions (and the republicans' campaigning against them) has flipped cultural perceptions about who is cool and who is lame to the opposite of what they were when i was a young person and happy happy joy joy is not sufficient to address that issue. because they refused to let anybody have any fun during the pandemic, the democrats may be seriously fucked for a long time. the liberals and ndp in canada may also have a similar problem, and they may try everything to fix it and fundamentally refuse to understand it.

the democrats probably need to completely rebrand to distance themselves from their conservative covid-era policies. 

right now this is starting to ankle bite and nip at your feet in the mid west. in the upcoming years, expect oregon and new york and massachusetts to become competitive, as actually really liberal people that were under 30 in 2020 move into their 40s and refuse to support the democrats. california may not need to sink into the ocean to become an island, in the end, if the fake left doesn't figure it out and foundationally adjust.

you may also notice that harris is noticeably wearing far more makeup over the last week or so, and the campaign around her is doing things like increasing lighting and taking pictures from a greater distance.

i don't want to criticize her for wearing makeup, exactly, but the shift its reflective of what her campaign team thinks they're marketing to people.

and it's depressing.

donald trump is not an evil black queen.

(*ahem*)

donald trump is really a hapless pawn.

and anybody with any critical thinking skills can see that, instantly.

the problem with trump isn't that he's a control freak it's that his disinterest is palpably negligent.

for example, as far as anybody can put together, trump, as an individual, is actually pro-choice, but he let pence fuck the court over because he didn't want to govern, he wanted to go hang out in florida.

what trump wants appears to be (i) lower taxes and (ii) less wars. he's the exact opposite of a fascist dictator and the exact opposite of adolf hitler.

it was this kind of absurdist rhetoric that made biden look like a clown, and harris is going to wear it even worse than biden did.

you should read into this: the bottom is falling out. this is going to be a rough night for democrats.

what happened to happy happy joy joy?

this is desperate, and not just because it's a flip-flop but because it's absurd.

trump will delegate everything and spend 87% of his second presidency playing golf.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/23/harris-trump-fascist-hitler-comments-election

the premise that the government's ministers have the right to order people around without due process of law is blatantly absurd and has no place in a democratic society.

it's the kind of mindset you'd expect from a backwards dictatorship like iran.

the only way to react to uppity people that think they have some kind of authority to order you around is to ignore them and if the minister wants to continue to walk around with these delusions of grandeur then the labour board is going to be left with no choice but to ignore his "orders".

https://globalnews.ca/news/10824601/canada-labour-tribunal-order-to-end-rail-shutdown-unprecedented/

something that democratic commentators are fundamentally misunderstanding is that the perception of age across the parties is not reciprocal. democrats need young voters to win, but what we're learning is that the problems in democratic appeal are not restricted to having this old guy as the face of the party. republicans, on the other hand, are the party of old men, and they see themselves in an older candidate like trump. republicans like old white men; it's what they are, themselves.

biden's age was consequently a liability, admittedly, while trump's age is actually an asset.

but i said from the start that harris was the worst possible candidate. who was responsible for setting this up? ultimately, biden, by picking her, and that will just be recorded in history as one of his myriad mistakes.

these are 538 numbers regarding probabilities of trump winning. yes, the math works in harris' favour as well, but the existence of a likely bradley effect and a general polling error in favour of harris make the opposite exceedingly more likely and everybody realizes that.

50% - pennsylvania

50% - nevada

50% - michigan

50% - wisconsin

==============

53% - minnesota

53% - new hampshire

54% - virginia

54% - new mexico

54% - maine

=================

56% - colorado

56% - oregon

given the not just possibility or plausibility but actual likelihood of a roughly 5% error in the polling in harris's direction (and trump's favour), the election map actually probably looks like this going into the very end of the election:

there is a very real possibility of a 400+ ec vote massive trump blowout.

putin'd better lay off on the north korean soldiers (!? who let them out of north korea? are they allowed back in or were they sent to die?), 'cause that special japanese rapid action ninja force has yet to show up on the battlefield, and i'm telling you that's how you shut putin down in the end, is with the ninjas.

if they want to actually apply this market theory they pretend to like so much, wages for imported foreign workers should actually be set to higher than wages for the domestic labour market by law because the use of imported foreign workers implies scarcity in the labour market, which increases the price of labour.

the minimum wage in ontario is currently $17.20.

therefore, the minimum wage for imported labour should be set to $20, minimum.

it's really not hard to understand.

donald trump is very popular. people like donald trump.

kamala harris, less so.

ukraine needs a punk movement, clearly.

i remember watching jello biafra post pro-ukrianian propaganda when this started and wanting to get on a plane to colorado to knock him upside the head.

this might bring back some memories of the kind of thing jello was on the front lines in fighting in the united states in the 80s, except it's worse; it's a hybrid of the conscription americans faced in the 60s and the pro-war metal movement of the 80s, where they had military officers taking names to sign up for the military standing beside the merch booth at every show.

welcome to the west, ukraine.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/world/europe/ukraine-draft-concert-army.html

you show up in wisconsin or pennsylvania or michigan talking with a california accent like that, and you're not going to get five words in.

i found a downfall meme with harris in it and i'm not going to post it because it's not what i wanted but they focused on picking a number of clips with harris speaking in a way that was designed to make her look like an airhead. i hadn't seen anything like that before, and it was actually incredibly alarming.

i understand that kamala is a valley girl and that articulating herself in that manner might even be good politics in california, but non-californians are not only not going to react well to that kind of expression but are going to be extremely put off and concerned by it. it really did very convincingly make her look like an airhead.

it's too late now and her political career is certainly over when she loses but somebody really should have told her to tone down the valley speak. 

like, yikes.

i've always been a smart ass, but whats my smart analysis, as a math nerd? how did we get here?

the race in these states has been close from the start and in fact has been for years. specific candidates and debates and other events are going to have minimal push and pull. almost nobody is basing their votes on specific policies, people or outcomes; it's a polarized electorate. 

that means that the election isn't about ideas, it's about turnout.

something that affected turnout in the polls was a third party candidate getting a good chunk of the vote, namely rfk. these are obviously disaffected voters that really want to vote "none of the above". rfk seemed to be pulling from both parties, but maybe a little more from democrats that might have hearts that lean trump and brains that scream NOOOOO.

two things happened recently.

1) biden was replaced with harris. this gave harris a very small but consistent bump that pulled her just over trump, but it really had to do with black enthusiasm in the voting models and it may turn out to be a bradley effect, in which case the election may be worse for the democrats than we expect. watch new mexico on election night. if new mexico is close, or trump wins as an upset, harris' bump was a functional bradley effect created by messing around with the data in the modelling. i'm not getting the data suggesting oregon is a potential upset, but don't be surprised if its surprisingly close. also watch minnesota.

2) rfk pulled out, which is what his father should have done. this gave trump a much larger bump.

it took a few months for it to even itself out, but the result of these two minimal shifts in projected turnout was that trump came back out in front.

the democrats are going to very seriously need to figure out how to win back young people, or they're possibly fucked for quite a while. it's not by being sympathetic to the islamic right.

i want to see somebody do the downfall hitler freakout scene with kamala harris, in the bunker.

hilter's generals: we are losing in arizona, georgia and north carolina and are losing ground quickly in pennsylvania.

*map scene*

hitler: we still have michigan and wisconsin.

*generals look around at each other*

generals: we are in the margin of error in both wisconsin and michigan.

*pause*

hitler: ze jews! ....

the bc election was a game of 93-pickup.

with almost everything counted, roughly a quarter of the seats are within the margin of error and will need to be recounted, under bc law.

it's entirely clear what the outcome will be.

great. now, when she loses, she can blame it on ze jews, rather than take responsibility for the fact that she's a poor candidate.

has anybody explained to her that arabs think indians are heretics and black people are slaves? that doesn't mention what they think about women, or what they think the place of women is in society. it's the demographic she has the least possible hope with. 

it happens to be gaza, but it might have been something else. these are right-wing, deeply conservative, religious voters. they have no place in the left, and they know it and aren't interested in it.

20 years from now, arab-americans will be one of the most important voting blocs in the republican party and there is nothing the democrats can do to undo this besides become the party of god.

there's no evidence for this.

he's (again) making an ass of himself on the world stage and it's driving home the reality that he's a closet muslim.

he's even calling for un sanctions on india. laughably.

india should send prime minister dumbass a letter explaining that they're a rising nuclear power and canada is on a direct path towards becoming a third world country, and already is through large swaths of it's urban areas, beset by ghettos, overwhelming poverty and mass drug addiction and homelessness. india should not be taking lectures from a backwards, third-rate country like canada.

trudeau's utterly incompetent and pathetically childish outburst against india needs to be the last straw from the apparatchiks in the liberal party leadership.

the americans and british think we're idiots, and are trying to be nice about it.

can we get this idiot out of power before he embarrasses us further?

i believe that i'm currently listening to mauricio velasco and sean hansel live stream a complete lie about the identity of jessica murray (who is myself, born jason parent) from upstairs in this duplex to a platform (probably a video game platform) that i have no interaction with and don't care about.

i can't really stop sean from stealing my name. my legal name is actually jessica parent. my mother's birth name is kerry murray, so i started using the name jessica murray on the internet to try to create a level of obfuscation. i didn't want people to connect the dots. this blur on my identity (which has never been hard to figure out. look at the url on my bandcamp site on the side, it's jasonparent.bandcamp.com. who do you think built and owns that site?) has allowed sean to walk into a point of ambiguity and confuse people, apparently to try and get laid.

i think mauricio's motive is that he always wanted to make a movie about me and i've firmly and consistently told him to fuck off. i don't respect mauricio as a human being, and i don't respect him as an artist. the absolute last thing i want is this idiot that i don't like making a film about me. i have since begun posting vlogs on the internet, and he seems to be trying to take control of them because he thinks he is entitled to some concept of ownership of any film about me, which he obviously isn't. then, he's trying to plug sean in for me because i don't want anything to do with it.

this is disgusting and psychotic and these losers belong in and need to go to jail, but it's so absurd that i've had a difficult time putting it together and convincing somebody. it's foundationally, fundamentally irrational. i'm pretty good with deductive thought, but you can't deduce things from nonsense, you need to wait until you get evidence. i've had to sit here and wait for them to do what they're doing in order to try to understand it.

they apparently want to take over my vlog, and they want to pretend sean is me. mauricio is the "director". sean is the "actor". in reality, i filmed these vlogs myself by talking into a cheap handheld device, frequently talking to myself in the mirror. you can see the green camera in most of my vlogs and a lot of my pictures. it's not ambiguous; i'm obviously shit-talking into the mirror. nobody is "directing".

my writing style is idiosyncratic. that will be easily deconstructed. neither of these two idiots will convince anybody that they're me, online, for more than a week. 

sean has no musical talent. he can't play guitar like me, he can't write songs like me and in fact i'm also a better technical singer than he is, and i think my lyrics are better than his. he's not going to be able to write lyrics like i do, and he can't use the gear i own in any meaningful or productive sense. it's an algorithm for mass disappointment.

i don't want to work with sean further. i took his vocals out of my songs because i thought they sucked; bad singing and worse poetry. it was jon's idea, it just sort of happened. blame it on jon, not me, but this is actually done with. i have no further recordings with sean and no work left to do that involved him in any way. sean has no further role to play in my art or my discography.

that doesn't matter. they want the vlog; they think they're making some kind of film. they're complete retards.

as mentioned, i can't block sean from using the name "jessica murray", if he's pathetic and lame enough to keep at it, rather than come up with his own name and identity. i can't copyright the name. i can tell you that the sites linked to this page are mine and the sites not linked to this page are not mine.

it would be better for everybody if they just bought an oxygen and a macbook and played around on it and tried to sell what they came up with. my obscure gear is designed to write and produce jazz. i'm a jazz musician. it's not something they can use to make pretentious electronic music. they could be doing something substantive instead of harassing me. what does their fixation on controlling me say about their artistic abilities and inclinations?

i don't use gaming platforms, and anything livestreamed that way is not and never will be me. go watch their videos and try to convince them to go live their own lives and leave me alone.

i have to acknowledge that i have picked up some pretty cinematic moments on my vlog camera, but it's not any sort of mockumentary. it's legitimately real life, raw and unfiltered. there's no script. it's just real.

after failing to confirm their motion on the 6th, the landlords have legitimately forgotten to reserve me and appear to have filed a document with the wrong date on it. that motion won't be heard.

this application costs around $400, plus labour for the lawyer, and it puts it off to at least the 1st of november, as motions are only heard on fridays. they won't get the money back. they'll have to pay it again.

the most likely outcome is it for it be rescheduled to next year, anyways, and the longer this takes, the less sense it makes. i overheard some rescheduling motions on friday, and i'm likely to get to trial before they can file to cancel me. yet, those slots in april are also filling up and, the longer this takes, the higher the chance that april fills up, too.

so i may be safe here for quite a while. it's looking like november, 2025, but i don't want to still be here by then.

the situation is toxic and unsafe (for me) and i need to get out. if you can make some purchase as an act of charity or altruism to help get me out of here, please do.

maybe they should have thought about the consequences of their actions before they acted. israel is acting out of self-defense, and that is a legal act.

iran is not the west's primary enemy, it's a relatively small country with a long history of being destroyed by outsiders because it has historically been poorly governed by authoritarian regimes and has been on the brink of collapse, once again, for decades. it won't take much for israel to topple the jenga tower over.

the united nations should be helping israel to remove the terrorist regime in iran and return iran to the international community and iran is delusional to expect otherwise.

the russians saw the americans lining up in poland, clearly intending to move in. so, they struck first.

the russian operative was to move the war west, so that it was fought in ukraine instead of in russia. this is ukraine's longstanding purpose to moscow, after all, as a buffer state, even if it would rather that buffer state be poland than ukraine.

america's purpose in digging in has been to bleed russian resources, take out some ships, etc. the hope is that it can reduce russia's strategic capabilities. this has clearly backfired, as america is having difficulty producing missiles and munitions, and the cost of the war has become a major political issue that is negatively impacting the popularity of the current administration.

russia has since annexed four provinces in southeast ukraine that were absorbed into russia in the distant past and were appended to ukraine by khruschev during the soviet period. this was supposed to russify ukraine, which was a fine enough idea when the soviet union existed, but has resulted in a region that russia considers a part of russia outside of russia, after the collapse of the union. these areas are also russian-speaking.

by annexing the regions to russia, putin can claim he is expelling ukrainian invaders from russian territory, which is an awkward claim but has some convoluted logic to it.

while it seems on it's face that the russians are halted due to incompetence, given these competing objectives, it is possible that they were trying to create a trench and dig in, a la world war one, or at the very least were slowing down the process on purpose. this is after all what the russians want - to fight the war in ukraine, if the americans insist on fighting it. winning would actually be counter-productive, then, as the americans would just start another war somewhere else. so long as this trench across ukraine exists a distance from russia, the russians basically get what they want.

however.

the russians have recently been moving west: 

i picked that graphic for a reason. look at it carefully.

there is a jagged grey line in the middle of the picture. that line is the official border of the russian federation.

what happens when russia gets to that line? does it stop?

will it get there before the reinauguration of donald trump in january? if it does, this slow trudge west could produce the conditions for a truce.

is that what the russians wanted all along?

is that why this is taking so long?

i'm going to rephrase what i said previously.

the iranian threat to israel gives the pentagon an excuse to get out of ukraine before it becomes a massive drag on american resources, like vietnam was.

if they don't get out soon, that's the inevitable outcome, and we'll be talking about them getting out eventually, after having squandered trillions and after having gained nothing.

seems like the biden administration wants trump to win.

what about the jews? i blame the christians, i blame the muslims. why don't i blame the jews?

well, first of all, nobody blames the jews. when the jews are to be blamed, we blame ze jews. 

i'm talking about colonialism, very explicitly, and in the context of this discussion, the jews really don't count. gentillism notwithstanding, and perhaps i am wrong, but i am not aware of a single example of a jewish state ever trying to conquer, convert or colonize anybody. the jews have needed to defend themselves throughout history, but israel never tried to conquer egypt or syria or arabia. there might have been a jewish kingdom north of the caucasus in the middle ages, but the stories told about it are dubious and it's existence is difficult to even prove at all. this would have been a majority turkish state, if it did exist. the story is that they adopted judaism to counter the christian russians to their north and the muslim arabs to their south, so they didn't have to be absorbed by either, and could play them off against each other. there's perhaps a warning embedded in this that judaism could be a colonizing or imperial force, but the fact is that there is no actual clear example of that happening anywhere on the planet and anywhere in history.

except joshua. i guess. but they were joshing about joshua. that never actually happened.

if you look closely behind the scenes, there's often some sneaky jewish oligarch making plans for aristocrats and generals. i have to give you that. however, that wasn't what the spread of christianity was really about. you can't blame christianity on the jews; it would be more accurate to blame it on the greeks, anyways.

it's hard to get your head into the mindset of the political, social, religious and military leaders around the collapse of a decaying empire, and what they might have imagined the outcome of forcing this religion on everybody might have been, but the writing they have left behind (the bit that was vandalized and rewritten repeatedly rather than just burned and forgotten) tells us they were trying to build a common culture to unify the empire. this is understandable, on some level. american culture, from cherry pies to hamburgers and rock and roll, is a pretty real unifying force across the pond, from the beatles' days in hamburg to the british invasion and beyond. we think we have a common culture, and we do, but it's not about a shared appreciation of shakespeare or voltaire, it's about the gramscian conditioning of american beliefs on the conquered peoples, and we've got this figured out way better than the romans ever did. the romans inherited pan-hellenism, and that worked in the east (it is the real culprit behind christianity), but the west was half carthaginian and half celtic and slowly being conquered by germans and there was no history of a unified culture or even a cohesive civilization in these regions, who had been dealing with greek and lebanese traders and settlers on their land for centuries and clearly didn't like it. something that happened repeatedly during the same period that christianity developed in egypt, syria and greece was that the gaulic west (britain, france, spain) tried to split away from rome and form an independent celtic empire. this independent celtic empire was roman and latin, to be clear, but it held to it's own customs, it held to it's own religion and it may have held to dialects of gallic, while not wanting to be completely cut off from the roman world (and it never had been. the primary source of tin in the west had been britain for hundreds of years previously. the city of marseilles was founded by greeks; barcelona was founded by lebanese. we don't know how far out to sea the egyptians or carthaginians made it. these regions were integrated into the trade networks, going back centuries.). so, the empire was falling apart and the social engineers wanted to find a way to extend panhellenism to the west of the empire to keep it together. you can't blame them for wanting to do that, but you can blame them for showing up with swords and ordering people around; that, however, was a pretty roman thing to do and not much of a jewish thing or much of a greek thing to do at all. the romans liked showing up with swords and ordering people around. the spread of christianity was just one of the many ways they did that, in the end.

so, i don't blame ze jews for christianity and i don't think christianity is even really that jewish. christianity is fundamentally platonic. islam breaks with christianity in being more about aristotle than plato, which is one of the reasons islam is so much worse than christianity.

the weird thing about ze jews is that they were basically indo-europeans anyways. judaism takes it's basic themes from zoroastrianism and is essentially a sky god religion, in the indo-european tradition. there is nothing much like yahweh in traditional semitic religion; yahweh is really more like thor or zeus. we know that existing judaism was reformed in the hellenic period to align with platonism itself, and we know it was heavily influenced by zoroastrianism on it's way out of captivity. the extent to which it may have mingled with greek invaders in the bronze age collapse is itself unclear. the stories that do have clearly semitic connections (like the flood) are general myths from the region and seem distanced from their origin by several layers. in a lot of ways, judaism is closer to greek or roman paganism than christianity is, and should seem less problematic to a pagan than christianity would.

but this is all very abstract.

the basic historical fact is that jews just don't conquer or colonize. they just don't. that's an islamo-christian thing.

there is a conflict of narratives in defining european identity. i get it.

this is the correct narrative:

https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/07/how-european-true-identity-was-destroyed-when-christianity-moved-in/

one of the things i cannot tolerate about the contemporary fake left, and do not have common ground with them on, is their negation of a secular humanist narrative. i move beyond criticism of them on this point.

islam is basically the same thing as christianity, except 10x or 100x worse.

we won this fight already.

we don't want to go back to that.

the canadian government's issue with india has a number of layers. i don't think any of them are substantive and i don't think any of them should be supported by anybody, but trudeau's party machinery thinks attacking india is going to be populist for the following reasons:

1) trudeau has failed in securing a free trade agreement with india, and is lashing out like a four year-old child that didn't get what he wanted.

2) trudeau has been criticized for a trip to india he made where he and his family put on indian clothing, like a dress rehearsal for a play or something.

3) partly due to the absence of the free trade agreement, and in a reckless act of obliviousness regarding our relationship with the americans, the liberal party is trying to curry favour with the chinese by aligning against india, and by generally trying to create problems with india.

4) sikhs are a powerful lobbying group in canada with an incredibly disproportionate amount of power. that is actually true.

5) the liberals also seem to be specifically targeting indian students and scapegoating them for the housing crisis. there is some truth to this, but it's trudeau's fault not theirs and the messaging from the liberals on the issue has some dark undertones that have to do with their polytheism, which is seen poorly by powerful sikh and muslim elements in the party.

6) there has been a growing anti-india undercurrent in upper class fake left circles for the last several years that has to do with conflicts between the invading and colonizing muslim minority in india and the indigenous hindu majority, which seeks to protect it's culture and history from encroachment by muslim and arab (and iranian) colonialism.

it's the last point that i'm interested in because i think that the west (north america and europe) should be prioritizing india as a major ally because we have an indigenous cultural overlap with india that we don't have with the middle east, africa or china in the sense that indian religion is exceedingly similar to (and in many ways exactly the same as) the indigenous european religions of the celts, germans, slavs, romans, hittites, persians and greeks. we all speak dialects of the same language and we all had similar cultural and religious beliefs; further, we are all struggling against the effects of islamo-christological imperialism and colonialization by christians and muslims of middle eastern origin. buddhism is also a force in india, and we know today it was introduced by greeks after alexander and is not ancient, as was previously thought. indian historians understand the important role that hellenism played in india in the classical period. as a westerner, it is at the core of my culture and identity to stand in solidarity with indian nationalism against the effects of islamic colonialism, and to stand in support of deislamification in india, in parallel to the ongoing but largely completed process of dechristianization in europe and america. a close cultural relationship with indigenous indian religion can help us better understand who we are, as westerners and as europeans and as decendents of european settlers. 

a big part of the reason that india is being targeted is due to the ongoing attempts by muslims to colonize it. muslims tend to have a special level of disdain for hindus. this is coming out in the diaspora politics and identity politics in the liberal party.

this tilt towards islam and in conflict with indian polytheism has powerful lobbying voices but it is not the direction that we should go in in the west as it would be undoing the dechristianization process that culminated in the french revolution, which was our final break with the past. conservatives in europe tend to get confused about this or outright deny that europe was forcibly colonized in a violent series of wars and genocides that even included crusades in france and poland, the latter during what we would generally call the age of reason (that is, extremely late), and that even included an inquisition to burn the indigenous women, who held to their indigenous customs the longest. we have already fought this war, and it was a long war, a thousand year war, and we won it. christianity has been defeated in the west. let us align not with a new christian menace in the form of islam, but with our indigenous roots in indo-european polytheism.

for that reason, i am going to come down extremely harshly on the liberals if they push this stupid fight with india for stupid reasons that are not in the interest of canada and not in the interest of western civilization.

a re-embrace of polytheism also makes sense in redesigning our culture to embrace holistic meaning in the process of decarbonization. the garden of eden, and genesis in general, is a stupid and retarding myth that has screwed up how we approach resource management and needs to be thrown in the trash. indigenous and polytheistic cultures are less likely to see humans as unique or created to control or steward and more likely to see themselves as a part of a complex ecological web that needs to co-exist in nature rather than dominate over it. we need this change of mindset, and overthrowing the patriarchal hierarchical social model in the monotheistic religions is central to getting to that point.

i'm not exactly proposing that you believe in athena or shivu or vishnu or thor as actual real things, and it's not clear how seriously that was ever actually taken. what i am proposing is that this is exactly the shift in culture we need in order to survive and an indo-european compact and alliance based on shared indigenous beliefs and value systems is likely the best vehicle to actually do it.

trump might actually even win the popular vote.

that makes no sense. the democrats have demographic dominance, but their candidates consistently suck.

no.

israel is a strategic asset worth defending.

they should reroute money and resources from ukraine to protect israel, if necessary. yes, that is what putin wants, but it demonstrates the reality that going into ukraine was a mistake in the first place.

nato will eventually withdraw from ukraine with untold billions or trillions spent, and can only hope it hurts the russians more, which was the strategy but is an unclear outcome.

jd vance is beginning to identify himself as a classic demagogic fascist in waiting and i'm beginning to wonder if it's worth voting for harris to block him from office.

the main reason i endorsed hillary clinton in 2016 was to block pence, which didn't seem helpful, in hindsight. i'm apprehensive about falling into the same trap, but i think vance will be a more substantive pick in terms of function.

i can't understand why anybody would take a man that looks like a chimp and has the grooming etiquette of a dog seriously, but the thing about demagogues is that they're successful con artists because they find out what you want to hear and say it. i don't want to hear anything from a man like vance at all. somebody that's dealing with a mortgage they can't afford and food they can't buy might be more open to suggestion. it's the immense increase in inequality in the united states over the last five years that allows a vance to be possible.

i'm not there yet, but his ability to effortlessly produce not just bald-faced lies but incoherent bald-faced lies is very worrying. large amounts of what he says cannot be deconstructed at all because it is literally incoherent; he has a tendency of putting words together in a manner that produces no discernible meaning. this isn't hyperbole. he projects meaning between the words, but the words themselves frequently have no meaning, and if you stop to try to deconstruct it, you'll instantly run across this outcome. what?

there's enough in front of us to produce serious concern.

the united states needs to be extremely concerned about the depth of chinese infiltration in the canadian government at the highest level and take steps to eliminate it using whatever means are required.

clearly, it's time for regime change in canada

this is unacceptable.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-india-expel-1.7351837

harris is indeed losing but it's not because she's not pro-muslim enough, that's for sure.

opinion polling in the united states has repeatedly demonstrated overwhelming support for israel amongst white and christian voters, and the fact that she is losing states like wisconsin and pennsylvania, and is not winning in georgia or arizona, is no doubt a part of that. pro-hamas fake leftist candidates are losing at the district level in left-wing ridings over this precise issue. this is a losing issue for the centre-left and the fake left that it needs to back away from. democratic voters in left-wing ridings themselves are indicating that they are pro-israel and anti-hamas. these losers on the street are a fringe minority that represent extreme right political inclinations, appear to be funded by foreign governments and have no place in a moderate centre-left political tent.

it would seem intuitive and obvious that democrats should be the most pro-israel and republicans should be trying to win these conservative muslim voters, as the existing democratic coalition has absolutely zero common ground with hamas or with palestinian nationalism in general. right-wing religious fundamentalism has a more obvious home in the republican party. it is not remotely clear why democrats think they can or even want to hold muslim voters. these are obviously republicans, culturally speaking.

the important swing vote in michigan is black voters, not muslims. spend some time in detroit. it's very black. this isn't a race for city hall in hammtramck, so the fact that this microdemographic has two or three saturated areas that they dominate locally is not relevant. they're still less than 2% of the population of michigan; blacks are pushing 15%.

radical islam is unpopular in the united states and if harris was smart she would do everything she can to distance herself from it as being seen as soft on islamic extremism will cost her 10x as many votes as she might ever hope to gain (but never will. they're republicans.), but she has already demonstrated in multiple campaigns that she is not very good at this.

when she loses, she will blame it on biden, but she should blame herself for running a poor campaign that has not strongly come out on moral considerations, like backing israel in it's fight against terrorism, but tried to fence sit to hold a small demographic with little voting power and a lot of lobbying power by taking a morally ambiguous position that refuses to condemn terrorism in clear enough language. that is sending a message to americans that they are correctly confused by.

it should be noted that obama was not confusing or ambiguous on terrorism. obama repeatedly walked up to the podium and loudly and bellicosely declared that america would track the fuckers down and slaughter them like the filthy animals they are. that is the correct populist position and what america wants to hear from harris, but that she won't deliver because she's apparently kind of dumb.

i think the fundamentals suggest biden would have been more competitive, and the outcome has demonstrated that. harris is losing enough white voters in the rust belt that she's going to lose almost every rust belt state and she's neither generating black support nor holding moderate white support in more conservative southern states because she doesn't have roots in the area. biden is more popular amongst both black voters and white voters than harris is.

after being sure to blame harris losing on harris (and not on biden, or on putin, like they did in 2016), the democratic party should permanently disbar nancy pelosi from ever speaking on their behalf ever again.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/14/kamala-harris-israel-gaza

i think the indians were fully justified in eliminating the terrorist asset and, if it was them, that they continue to aggressively pursue their struggle against sikh extremism and terrorism via further targeted assassinations.

canada should be helping india target and eliminate terrorist elements, not complaining when it succeeds in neutralizing them.

further, canada and india have a security relationship that is very important. sikh separatism is not an important consideration and should not upset that important security relationship.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyle3py4nko

i don't think this is currently a close election at all.

this is what the polling suggests:

i expected harris to do better in georgia, particularly, but the numbers aren't there.

and, right now, it looks like she's going to lose wisconsin, for sure.

if you take a look at the trump family together nowadays, you'll notice that the one and only male in the group that doesn't look like a life long loser, and doesn't have to hide behind the dirt and crud and shit all over his face because he has no self-confidence and no self-esteem, is the one that's married to the pretty girl.

there's one pretty girl in the pile, and one guy that doesn't look like he needs a makeover.

they're truly a hideously ugly group of people. i wouldn't want to be seen with them.

americans are fond of saying "this is not who we are", but they are simply denying reality and that denial is at the core of the problem.

it is who they are and the fact that it is who they are is the problem they need to address.

the first step is admitting you have a problem.

the reason that israel is occupying lebanon is that the united nations has failed to keep hezbollah out of the area. the whole concept of peacekeeping has proven itself useless, except to prevent legitimate acts of self-defense; the un won't react to terrorists, so it gives hezbollah free reign, but it expects israel to follow the rules because it's a state. this is untenable and unsustainable, and the only possible outcome is for israel to push back. 

the un will try to stop israel because it's a state but will ignore hezbollah because it's not. this is stupid and backwards and cannot continue; this has to change. the un should be getting out of israel's way and aggressively attacking the terrorists.

the fact that they now won't leave when the israelis are trying to move in and do their job for them truly demonstrates how useless and irrelevant the united nations is in today's world. we need serious reform at the un, and this is clear evidence of it.

nonetheless, israel should not be targeting these groups directly. yet, it should be realized that israel does not have a moral responsibility (it has a legal responsibility, but the law is flawed) to go out of it's way to avoid un targets. if israel sees guys with guns in a tower, it should not stop to figure out who they are, it should shoot to kill.

by refusing to leave and then blaming the outcome on the israelis, unifil is actually adopting the tactics of hamas, which it has become morally equivalent to.

they need to acknowledge they have failed and get out and if they won't leave then israel will have to remove them and is morally justified in doing so.

i don't really want to take away your guns. the science suggests that wouldn't work for most crimes. it might reduce crimes of passion, where people go into temporary insanity and fits of rage and can't think, and while that is a legal defense, how often that really occurs in real life is fairly obscure.

i'd rather take away your game consoles.

i think that would be more likely to actually succeed in reducing violent crimes.

banning things generally doesn't work.

however, violent video games have no social utility and create a large amount of social harm. banning them is worth a try to help get gun violence down.

it would need to be done in conjunction with other social changes in the entertainment industry, like banning violence in movies and violent imagery in music videos, but it would be a potential step in the united states changing it's culture of barbarism and violence, which is the cause of the problem.

it's very pathetic that i have to do this but some losers named maurico velasco and sean hansel that i went to high school with - and are not my friends, and have not been my friends in 20 years - are continuing to try to steal access to my sites. i have been trying to tell mauricio to fuck off and leave me alone for 30 years, but the loser is obsessed with me because he's a classic closeted repressed homosexual. unlike him, i am not gay.

i was forced to work with mauricio in a school project in grade 10 against my inclinations and he decided after that that we were best friends. the feeling was not mutual. i've been trying to get rid of him ever since, and he won't fuck off.

these two pictures were taken of me, jessica parent, in march of 2013, not long after i had died my hair pitch black.

i was at an outdoor festival the day previously and i had just woken up relatively hungover. 

in early 2014, google+ forced me to upload a picture, which became my youtube profile picture. i actually did not want to upload a picture, but i was forced to by the algorithm in order to make a post. i picked the worst picture i could find, which was this one.

this has since become my brand id picture.

this is not a picture of sean hansel, who is a natural blond. this is a picture of the person born jason parent, now named jessica parent, and who has been using the online name of jessica murray since c. 2005 in order to create a layer of separation between my trans identity and my birth name (and past life).

jessica murray = jessica parent = jason parent.

one of the ways to be sure this is a picture of me is that my eyes are crooked. i had an unsuccessful surgery to "fix" a lazy eye (which i didn't have) when i was young and it wasn't done right and has affected my vision as an adult and left my eyes misaligned. they get crooked when i'm tired or stoned, or hungover as in this picture.

the one and only picture of sean hansel, who did record some guest vocals for me in late 2001 and early 2002 as a part of the process of demoing some tracks, none of which were used in the final compositions, is the bottom picture at the following album cover:

sean is the blond that looks like a lumberjack. i am the dark haired bono look-alike in the lennon shirt. my hair is dyed black in that picture as well.

i used this picture because it is the only picture of sean i had, as it was taken by my ex-girlfriend sarah on a trip to a concert with me and some old high school friends. the picture was also in early 2003, very close to the terminus point of rabit is wolf, and consequently very nearly contemporary to the demos (it was a few months later).

i don't know why sean is pretending that is a picture of him, but it is the tip of something more sinister. it is not. it is a picture of me.

vance really needs to clean himself up a little bit if he wants a future doing anything other than gay porn. he looks like a dirty, filthy fag.

i watched the vp debate, and the level of discourse was pleasantly much higher. while kamala harris was unable to convince me she was a better candidate than donald trump (which is a pretty low bar), tim walz thoroughly and convincingly defeated jd vance, without ambiguity.

elon musk has the maturity level of a 15 year old boy and is probably slightly autistic.

move on.

i mean, at least trump can't accuse him of being low-energy.

but you know he was there to plug his platform.

lebanon is the only place in the middle east, besides israel, where you can take a picture like this:

i think it's imperative that the west maintain a policy to continue this truth.

even if they don't appreciate it, now.

what i'm getting at is that the comparison to iraq is now flawed.

the correct comparison is to afghanistan, which was a justified action.

i also opposed biden's withdrawal of afghanistan, at least in that manner and on those terms.

the other difference between iraq and iran is that iraq was not responsible for 9/11 and iran is responsible for 10/7.

that was the reason the world supported an invasion of afghanistan and not an invasion of iraq, and should be the reason the world supports an invasion of iran, if it's done correctly.

the difference between iraq and iran is that saddam hussein was a secular dictator and iran is run by a theocracy. the long term goals in the middle east should be secularization - that is, decolonization, deislamicization. saddam hussein was an asshole, but he was keeping the religious out of power, and he should have been kept in place for that reason, as it was obvious that taking him out would unleash a pandora's box of religious extremism, and that was what we got. then, we had to go in and erase isis from history.

in iran, it's the opposite; the religious extremists are in power and the population is largely fairly moderate. iran is a white country that is relatively european in culture but has been colonized by arabs and islamicists that are trying to enforce their rules on a population that doesn't want it.

regime change can plausibly work in iran; it was obviously going to fail in iraq, at least in the medium term.

now, i need to be careful about this. it has to be done the right way, and iraq is a poor model. i'd actually like to see a united nations mission that is led by the turks and indians on a mission to remove the irgc, because it is an illegitimate and undemocratic terrorist group. that would look more like afghanistan, which was the right way to do iraq, but suffered from the problem that too many countries realized it was a bad idea and wouldn't vote for it.

i would like to see canada vote in favour of a united nations mission to remove the irgc and push for regime change in iran, as we voted in favour of removing the taliban after 9/11.

israel should be careful not to do anything that creates inflationary pressure in the west, as that is going to get them strangled by the americans. bombing the oil is a bad idea.

bombing the nuclear facilities is a non-starter because it's essentially impossible.

i would support an assassination of the ayatollah, although they could never tell anybody they did it (kind of like they haven't taken responsibility for eliminating the hardline prime minister).

and i think that serious regime change in iran is a good idea that the people of iran are likely in support of.

canada's position on israel is clearly out of date and needs a complete overhaul. it has no relevance in today's world, and does not reflect reality on the ground.

the fake left parties in canada are currently run by very stupid people. that wasn't always the case. the reality is that they're running against the iraq war, which this is definitely not, and which nobody thinks it is.

should israel take out iran's nuclear facilities? this is not a helpful question. if they could do it on their own, they already would have.

the real question is whether the united states would do this, and it has not been american policy for the reason that it would be very difficult. these facilities are cut into mountains. the americans have preferred to use the iaea because it's more effective.

that said, israel does have an active policy on the issue, which is sabotage. the israelis have used cyberwarfare, assassinations, infiltration, etc to slow the iranians down. this is the approach the israelis will continue to use until or if the americans order a strike and that will depend largely on whether they think it will work or not.

i didn't catch that the haitian dog thing was set in springfield.

i think people don't get that trump is a comedian. nobody believes that. it's clearly a joke.

it does sound like something from the world's favourite non-chinese yellow family.
