I’m generally so placid and sedate — especially if you met me in real life — that the idea that someone from the Justice Department was snooping on me using LinkedIn search is, unto itself, extremely alarming! It goes against my self-perception as a nobody that rants about a lot of things — some of them provocative — but who is totally ignored by everyone else.
First, I’m totally harmless. I sometimes get drunk and rant about how much I fucking hate fucking autocratic MAGA cocksuckers….but that’s it. It’s just venting. I am worried about the rise of autocratic MAGA fascism because it’s not an abstract for me — once the United States is no longer a traditional Western democracy….the clock is probably ticking until I get drunk and rant in a very public manner at a bar about how much I think our new autocrat is a fucking cocksucker.
It makes me wonder if someone narced on me or if there as something I wrote that piqued the Justice Department’s interest in little olde me. There are a few things I can think of.
One, I do really fucking hate the politics of would-be autocrat Mike Pompeo. And someone from his neck of the woods looked at this site, so I could see him thinking I’m some sort of deranged person who needs to monitored. While I think he’s a very alarming person because if he ever becomes POTUS he’s going to come after people just like me with ICE…it’s all rhetoric on my part. Like I keep saying, I’m not a violent person. Instead of, like, stocking up on guns, I just sit down and use that energy to work on a six novel thriller series that has a very anti-MAGA subtext to it.
Another possibility is they’re not thrilled with me becoming a downlow advocate of Blue secession. If that was the case, I get it. I probably earned being snooped on for such a radical proposal. But it’s just me following the logic of what’s going on in America to its conclusion — fascist MAGA Republicans are ascendant and for Blue’s it’s either leave the Union in late 2024 – early 2025 or bend a knee to fascism. While in theory I support a National Divorce, I definitely don’t support a civil war.
I suppose another possibility is when Catturd tweeted a link to me ranting about him being the “most dangerous man in America” the general massive (in relative terms) attention that that generated for this site caused some fucking MAGA cocksucker to narc on me. Ugh.
I will note that whomever it was from the Justice Department who was snooping just SEARCHED for me….they didn’t look at my actual LinkedIn profile. I don’t quite understand what’s going on with that distinction.
Anyway, I’m pretty much a harmless, if occasionally drunk, crank. But I am working on a really good novel series at the moment so, who knows, I may end putting a move on you after all, before I drop dead.
