Note:  I feel like this whole post was poorly considered.**  I’m just spittin’ it out to have a post up and keep myself in the sidebar.  ignore it or bust my chops in the comments, as u please.

They always say we’re paid by George Soros; we ain’t.  They are often paid by the Koch bros and like-minded shitstains in fascist think tanks up and down the beltway.  All you gotta do is be conservative on the right podium, and if a few shills in the crowd cheer, you’ll get a bank full of money.  Conservativism is like drug use.  It’s obviously* wrong-hearted to the people who want desperately to believe in it, so they’ll seek reassurance, and abuse any detractors.  They use peer pressure.  For the in-group:  “What’s so bad about feeling good?  Everybody does it.  You’d be a sucker not to.”  For the out-group:  “Narcs and squares and pussies, what’re you gonna do?  Tell my mommy?  (please don’t)”

(speaking of mommy, i wouldn’t be surprised if hegsdeth literally threatened to have his mother whacked if she didn’t walk back her criticism of him.  he’s a murderous fucking monster in the light of day; what kind of vile ass shit does he do behind doors?)

But these are all sidetracks.  I had a thought here.  Lemme see…  Well.  We should be on the take!  Somebody should be paying us!  Maybe not Koch money.  Not like we have cocaine habits or blackmailers to hush.  But the thing conservative pundits and profiteers are getting paid to do, that’s something we could do from the other side, right?  They get paid to promote evil, we should get paid to promote goodness.

What we do get really isn’t enough.  How many progressive bloggers are flogging shady advertisers on yewchoob, or living on food stamps, or losing all the time and energy they could use for the cause just toiling to get the mortgage paid, or endlessly line the coffers of landleeches?  We’d have more sauce for this if we were funded.  Not much.  Just pay for our modest lifestyles, and we will evangelize harder than the way we do now.

Because what we do now, we’re doing for free.  Some of us have patreons or other schemes to connect the dots and still have to work some kind of day job, or rely on a generous lover to stay indoors.  And the imbalance is obvious!  The scum have us on the ropes.  All around the world, fascism is still winning.

Anybody with eyes can tell that fascism is going to be the death of human civilization (not for a minute and the end of civ ain’t necessarily the end of you #nodoom).  It can’t do anything else.  No civilization, no rich people.  So all you vampire lords that wanna keep the baloney rollin’ and aren’t as shortsighted as your cousins who are currently in charge, consider ponying up.  Pay for people to fight fascism.  Your children will thank you.

Now one lil’ post in the snowy hinterlands of wordpress won’t bring any foundations grants or endowments to our doors, so I wonder aloud, what might a lobbying campaign look like?  What kind of progressive lobbying organizations are out there already and how are they doing it?  Less like the ACLU who were formed in the time before time, more like idk… Whoever Junior.  How’d they do it?

Just to annoy the nazis, I want everyone except rich Jewish people to reply.  Goyim with greenbacks, hmu.

*ok, i don’t think this is universally true.  i think some conservatives are just profound fools and jerks who have bought a bad bill of goods.  but the particular flavor of fascism practiced by the creepy misogynist kids, and by jumped up crapitalism zombies like mfvk, i’m pretty sure i got their number on this one.  this is the kind that has taken over america.

**on the poor consideration, i have grave misgivings about sacrificing my day job for something with less job security and likely less money.  barely scraping by as it is.  i’d be unlikely to bite on any offer that came down the pipes, not that any were going to come down anyway.  makes the post pointless, but might be funny to talk about.
