"Our previous security measures failed miserably, so now will keep doing what we did before but even harder." When systems fail the solution is not more systems. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2b877725eae4ba6d558134215b40ded4ae2155fc09370298cb7926741e6a90e1.file
There is a time hallowed tradition in Japan that the prime minister will receive a delegation bearing gifts of persimmon from Nara in November each year and compose a haiku poem on the spot. The time hallowed tradition started in 2013-2014, and the haiku they compose (five PMs so far) are without exception exceedingly lame. I wonder how on Earth a lowly agricultural PR agency from a small rural town managed to strong arm the PM's office into doing this? I am sure the fruits are outstanding but still. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/af93b28ed25403bdc860df5cddf3bb30c6054881b2d7f2834e8084aaee9865ad.file
RT @cremieuxrecueil@twitter.com: As of November 10th, El Salvador remains on track to be the safest country in the Western Hemisphere. It is possible to press the 'just solve a problem' switch. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b442ab01c5f488bfff1fe55f3300bfaaff11df17bdf7b841481b964388f554dd.file

Reading the autobiography of Stephen Spender (1909-1995), a poet who grew up in England, about his mission to Spain during the civil war. He was at the time an ardent communist and witness to the usual absurdity, the communist massacres, their infighting and the throngs of European intellectuals who adored the chance to kill everyone who didn't agree to their narrow definition of the "the struggle". Remember that nothing happened to these leftist tourisms of death. They all went home while Spain bled to death. Bonus passage about an imbecile Catalan taxi driver. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c1772b2bd839b0ea78f2b5546f95b50b3d7ae4245819648058583d064bf85c7c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/55f9d69424a4da1cdaa071e9318682a941bfc5f597d70089a1484812cf7a2d20.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b4d303d7d347e28a5bdd14704deac4e71f55baa757e0bc33665a03261dbee29c.file
Progressives have been on a one hundred year long quest to suppress traditional architecture, to ridicule its defenders, to make the practice of it impractical and illegal. Academia has been captured and fundamentally altered for ever to cater to modernist ideology. All schools everywhere now teach nothing but modernism ideology. There is no freedom of speech or thought or expression: it has been wiped out, or where the physical object itself is too large or conspicuous, mothballed and quarantined in layers of ordinances and red-tape. Don't come to us and say that we are the authoritarian, the unreasonable and the irrational. YOU, the architect, the planner, the politician: YOU are the authoritarian tyrant ignoring the people at best and attacking them at worst, in perfect stochastic terrorism. YOU are not the plucky rebel against a hoary tradition. Have some dignity. Step back. Repent. Posterity will judge you harshly for what you have done to our cities and homes. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a7640a22cd3c2976b02e5e6b695622263c541de6522920c077cc3b24a442ceb0.file
