you ever notice when they shut down "the government" they never shut down the parts protecting private property

well of course local thugs are on a different teat which merely gets federal injections.

empire and the police state are sacrosanct. the shutdowns are the backdoor austerity mechanism.

whenever they pass those emergency bridge funds to support troops, courts, and federal enforcement/prisons, the people voting yes are telling on themselves.

You know a government is functional when it is constantly under threat of shutting down

That Mao book trilogy on the right shelf has him looking kinda thicc

it's this series https://www.thriftbooks.com/series/peoples-trilogy/109285/, by Frank Dikötter, a dutch china-bad-ologist who has previously argued that the chinese should have just accepted massive import of opium into the country because that was less bad than having imperialists not flood the country with drugs

Ugh. Why did I click on that link? My thriftbooks recommendations are going to be nothing but anti-com and fascist slop now.

OK but why does it have chibi-lookin' Mao instead of regular Mao on the spine? They have him in Pikachu proportions.

Fat Pikachu my beloved (also I loved that manga as a kid)
