A company I bought shoes from last year offered to send me shoes if I wore and reviewed them, and they arrived today in a Saturday surprise. I had NO idea what they'd look like. They have PLENTY of sole... I was 6'3" before, I'm 6'5" or 6'6" now. 😄 They look like Imperial shoes on Coruscant in Andor, and they're comfortable so far. 😊

Fairytale Units btw is the SI name for anything in the Imperial measuring system.* Based on the fact that imperial not only is a witch's brew of childish units that don't go together, but also that things are based on barley corns. Barley corns. One inch was originally defined as three barley corns, and if that isn't some fairytale shit I don't know what is.

*no need to look it up, just accept it as true.

“Beyond the App: America's Willing Acceptance of Imperial Crime”

by Raja Sohail Bashir in The Geopolitical Compass on Substack

“This article wields the Signal leak as a diagnostic tool. The disproportionate attention to process over substance exemplifies how the distraction machine operates: trivialities amplified, atrocities obscured, and publics anesthetized to the crimes committed in their name”

#Trump’s #imperial plan is now eroding the #rights of people who thought they were safe

No one is safe in a #dicatorship. No one. And the closer you get to the power center, the more at risk you are. #arbitraryness is what characterizes such regime of #authoritarianism and #totalitarianism and it can hit anyone anywhere. You live with the constant fear of finding yourself suddenly on the wrong side of a constantly and hafazardly moving line. And so is it in the #USA.

In this, there is something that can be seen everywhere in regimes that either have or crave absolute power. In order to seize authority and run a whole country according to the interests of a sovereign, more and more parties must be disenfranchised and repressed. The imperial form of governance is the prototype of what is required to exert control in the presence of mass dissent. But all political systems with large components that subdue a significant portion of the population cannot continue without those components overtaking the entire machine. It is a simple, almost elegant fact; something like a law of nature. But a nation that withholds its best ideals from some will end up losing them for all.
