On this #GoodFriday we solemnly contemplate the incredible dissonance, hypocrisy, and insincerity of those who oppress others as they celebrate their own liberation. They don't see it.

There's no such thing as Rambo Jesus. You either follow the Middle Eastern long-haired radical, who preached care for others, or you don't. I know that religion have been used as a weapon throughout history, but it's just so striking right now.

For I was hungry, and you cut off my food stamps and called me a freeloader.

I was thirsty, and you said no water breaks, get back to work.

I escaped danger to come to your country (just like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph when they fled to Egypt) and you demonized me.

I couldn't pay the landlord, and you said it's my fault for not getting a better paying job.

I was sick, and you said I was faking it, and denied me medical treatment.

I was in prison and you said I deserved to be tortured in a death camp.

@gr1mr33p3r fucking hell. This happens too much, much less these days, but still. The UFC us stagnant right now. LW is stalled out and weird. They just need to book the Arman fight, imo. You can't run this shit on punitive fumes. Give the fans what they want. Give Ilia to Charles. Jones has to fight asap or vacate. Its absurd. O'Malley never should have been given a shot off the bench. No one wants it. Yan and even Sandhagen make better sense. I could go on. There is no real movement.

April 18, 2025 @ 19:32 Good evening family & friends❣️ Today has been a productive day. It was great taking the kids to church and spending that special time with them. After we dropped them off we went up to Pinconning for the things I still needed for Sunday's dinner. It has been a long time since I have cooked a holiday meal for guests and I don't want to forget anything. I will be shutting down early tonight and having a quiet evening as I continue to contemplate the sacrificial Lamb, and all that He did, was, and is. I will see you in the morning, have a good night❣️🙏🥱🌛💤

When COVID first came on the scene, I wasn't afraid it would kill me, I was afraid it would cripple me. And that's what it did.* I am living the timeline I feared.

*I developed CRAP, or Covid-Reactive Autoimmune Pathology, in my case Crohn's Disease, which is managed with an expensive monoclonal antibody treatment, which is an immunosuppressant, so I have been very sick all of 2025 with what's probably "just a cold" for normal people.

And now I'm one of those people who posts on social media about being sick all the time, which is boring as hell. I hate it too. I'm now a Sick Person, chronically ill, episodically disabled. People like me are Sick People, people with Invisible Disabilities, stuck, boring, and neurotic. Yes there's stigma against sick people; there should be, we endanger the herd and should be picked off by predators. To be chronically ill is to be fundamentally annoying, a drain on society at both micro- and macro-levels. Plus, many in the "sick community" are hypocondriacs and have other annoying mental problems. Being sick isn't great for mental health, and mental illness is illness too, but it's annoying when you can't trust peoples' self-reports. Those loathsome people are "my people" now. I am one of Them. DoG help me.

🚨Utah’s House passed HB400, which requires healthcare facilities to allow patients to use their own blood or choose a donor, including for directed donations, except in emergencies.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Kristen Chevrier, aims to give patients more control, partly driven by concerns about receiving blood from vaccinated donors.

Supporters argue it’s about personal choice, while critics, including the American Red Cross, warn it could strain resources and increase risks, as directed donations may be less safe due to incomplete donor health disclosures.

The FDA states there’s no evidence vaccines transmit through blood transfusions.

“…news organisations, …“completely hamstrung” in their reporting of the Hamas-Israel war because of the banning of foreign journalists from Gaza.

“This is a media strategy that has meant that the life of the Palestinian civilian is in no way covered in the same way as an Israeli civilian, and both deserve to have their stories told.”

theguardian.com/media/2025/apr…

The situation in Gaza facing the remaining Palestinian survivors is worse than ever, yet they have vanished off the radar, as far as most of the Western media is concerned.

So let’s consider the latest..The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, has publicly confessed to deliberately starving the Palestinian population.

....................
This is part and parcel of a deliberate and systematic attempt to destroy the healthcare system of Gaza, itself a genocidal act.

And guess how the BBC originally framed this. Their original headline was ‘Gaza hospital hit by Israeli strike, Hamas says’.

This is of course insane - the hospital was objectively hit by an Israeli missile, which Israel itself confirmed.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 167: American Taxpayer Appreciation Episode heterodorx.substack.com/p/epis…

Cori is a hard-working corporate employee who dutifully contributes to America’s tax base. Nina is a low-income artist with Crohn’s Disease whose medical expenses make her a net parasite, despite also paying taxes. After a surprise performance of improvised music by soda-can virtuoso Cori, we discuss tariffs, security, Medicaid, FICA, “maxing out contributions,” Incidence of Taxation, employment benefits, monetary incentives, distortions, the Tragedy of the Commons, suckers, rationalizations, population collapse/explosion, and episodic disability. Is art, work? How hard is it to be poor? Can air be privatized? Like Life itself, our tax/benefits system isn’t fair, and it cannot go on forever. So a big Thank You to all American taxpayers who support unproductive, under-productive, post-productive, and ill members of society like your show-notes writer.

You won't believe what they have found out:

Kemalizm ve 'Eleştirinin Eleştirisi'

Tanıl Bora

Yirmi otuz yıldır Kemalizme kahretmiş olan solcuların ve demokratların, liberallerin, nihayet ayılarak “gerçeği gördükleri” çokça söyleniyor. Kemalizme atfedilegelmiş müstebit ve vesayetçi idarenin, otoriter zihniyetin, “toplum mühendisliğinin” beterini, hasını, AKP iktidarında görüyorlardır; anti-Kemalizmlerinden pişman ve özeleştiri borçlu olmalıdırlar, buna göre.

İktidar mahfillerindeki yazarlar da, muhalif sol muhitlerin Kemalizme rücu ettiğini söyleyip duruyorlar. Solda Kemalizme alınmış mesafeler kapanmış, daha ılımlı, daha hoşgörülü bir tutum benimsenmiştir, onlara bakılırsa. Zaten sağ ve bilhassa İslâmcılık, Türkiye’de solun oldum olası Kemalizmle iltisaklı olduğuna emindir, onu neredeyse sırf bu bağla sınar ve bu şemanın teyidiyle kendini pek memnun hisseder.

Oysa, her muhalif veya basitçe memnuniyetsiz siyasî muhitteki anti-Kemalistlerin veya basitçe Kemalist-olmayanların, şu zamanda onu açık ve yakın tehlike olarak görmemelerinde şaşacak bir şey yok. Kemalist kimlikli muhalefetle yan yana gelebilmelerinde de şaşacak bir şey yok. Baskı ve tehdit altındakilerin ortak zemin aramasına şaşırmak, sinizmdir.

Bu bahsi, anti-Kemalizmden pişman ve tövbekâr olmak, Kemalizme rücu etmek gibi reaksiyoner hissiyatlardan daha sağlam bir zeminde düşünmek mümkün. İlker Aytürk’ün “post-post-Kemalizm paradigmaya doğru” arayışı, [1] bunun için bir imkândır. Post-post-Kemalizm, daha çok sosyal bilimlerle ilgili bir terimleştirme, siyasî bağlamda buna “anti-anti-Kemalizm” diyebileceğimizi düşünüyorum.

[2]Kastedilen, özetle şu: Sosyal teoride ve siyasette, Kemalizme muhalefet (“anti”) ve onu aşma (“post”) çabası, bize bir şeyler öğretti ve bir şeyler kazandırdı. Darbeciliğin, tepeden inmeciliğin, vesayetçiliğin, elitizmin sorgulanması, aydınlanmanın kaynağındaki eleştirel aklı tıkayan katılaşmaların farkına varmak (laiklik anlayışından pozitivizme), milliyetçi-ulusalcı koşullanmalarla ve tehdit algılarıyla yüzleşme, ilk akla gelenlerdir.

Şimdi, bu kazanımları, bu ‘aklı’ geliştirmek, orada yani post- veya anti-Kemalizmde takılı kalmamayı gerektiriyor. Bir başka deyişle, Kemalizme “Kartaca” (link) muamelesi yapmamayı gerektiriyor.

Bu gereğin bir faslı, Kemalizmin sorgulanmasında tecrübe edilen eleştirel kavramları ve değerleri, bunların Kemalizmle mukayyet ve ona has olduğu zannından çıkarak, ‘bütün satha’ yaymaktır. Bu fasılda post- veya anti-Kemalizme getirilen yaygın eleştiri, Kemalistlere boca edilen ithamlardan, ‘sağın’ esirgenmiş olmasıdır. Bu dengesizliğe düşmüş olanlar elbette var. Böyle bir hakkaniyetsizlikten beri duranları görmezden gelmek ise, başka bir Kartacacılıktır.

İkinci fasıl, doğrudan buna bağlıdır: Kemalizme atfedilen arıza ve cürümlerin ne kadarı, -hepsi mi-, Kemalizmin icadı idi? Ne kadarı, zamanın ruhunun eseri idi? (Kemalizmin kendisinin biricik ve benzersiz olduğuna dair zehabının, Kemalizm eleştirisince de aynen paylaşmasında büyük bir sorun yok mu? Bilhassa uluslararası mukayese babında.) Ne kadarı, umumi ‘siyasî kültürümüzün’ ve şu meşhur ezelî-ebedî ‘devlet geleneğimizin’ maslahatıdır? Şükrü Argın’ın Express’in son sayısında, -Cereyanlar’ı olağanüstü cömert bir alakayla ele alırken [3]-, tartıştığı gibi mesela, Kemalizm, resmî ideolojinin ve devlet aklının muvakkat bir kisvesinden veya muhtelif görünümleri arasında bir görünümünden mi ibaret? (Tabii bu soruları, hep Kemalizmin ‘boş gösteren’ kapasitesiyle birlikte düşünmeyi ihmal etmemeli – ki Kemalizm tamamen de ‘tesadüfileşmesin,’ müphemleşmesin.)

Üçüncü fasıl, bence en önemlisi: Toptancılıktan kaçınmak. Tefrik edebilmek. Sözgelimi Falih Rıfkı’yla Hasan Âli Yücel’i, en azından Necip Fazıl’la Sezai Karakoç’u ayırt edebildiği kadar ayırt edebilmek. Sözgelimi Turan Güneş’le Turhan Feyzioğlu’nu ayırt edebilmek.

[4]Şunu da unutmamalı: anti- ve post-Kemalist eleştiri mesaisinin, Kemalistlerin de değişmesine, farklılaşmasına etkisi olmadı mı? Bilhassa Gezi protestoları ve 7 Haziran 2015 seçim kampanyası deneyimleriyle birlikte ve bu deneyimlerde çökelmiş olan etkisiyle düşünün bunu... Özellikle ulusalcılıkla kaim olan müstebit bir Kemalistlik hâlâ pekâlâ mevcuttur. Buna mukabil, demokratik ve özgürlükçü saikleri önemseyen bir Kemalist söylem de, -mesela CHP’nin kimi genç milletvekillerine baktığınızda-, görece daha güçlü. Bunda, Kemalizmin, baskı ve tehdit altındaki bir topluluk (kimilerine göre, bir “azınlık”) haleti ruhiyesinin lehçesine dönüşmesinin de payı var. Bu değişimler, melezlikler de yaratıyor. Kemalizme ‘doktriner’ bir anlam yüklemeksizin, onun bazı simgelerini kullananlar da var, bu simgeleri bambaşka özlemlerle yan yana getirenler de var.

[5]Burada bir ihtimal, bir kapı, başka dışlananlarla-muhaliflerle-memnuniyetsizlerle etkileşime açık bir perspektifin gelişebilmesidir. Oradan, belki gerçekten yeni bir şey çıkar. Yine mesela 7 Haziran öncesi iklimi hatırlayalım. Diğer ihtimal, kendi “haklı çıkma” hissine kapanıp, aslında basbayağı “öz yurdunda garip, öz vatanında parya” gayzını tersine çeviren kahır dilidir. Oradan, ancak regresyon ve restorasyon çıkar. Mesela, 7 Haziran tecrübesinin nasıl kolay buharlaşabildiğini, genel olarak Kürt “rezervini” hatırlayalım.

Aslında sadece soru sormuş oluyorum bu kısa yazıda. Üzerine uzun düşünülmesi gereken satır başları bunlar.

Sözün özü lâzımsa: Tefrik edebilmek, haklılık yarıştırmaktan daha hayırlıdır.
