    An essay/blog post. She was thrilled that John McCain has brain cancer. She gave the tumor a cute name ("Go Mavvy, go!"). Said it serves him right for fighting to take away health care from poor people. Lots of idiots chimed in to agree.

      I read a couple of her other most recent posts. The intro to her critique of capitalism starts like this:

      Capitalism is very simple. Capitalism as an economic system is essentially defined as the process of private expropriation of public wealth. Technically, the Earth is every creature’s inheritance but we in our late modern wisdom have conceded that only a select handful of people will get to profit from its resources while the rest are forced by either gunpoint or starvation to serve them forever or die.
      And it was downhill from there.

      The most typical rich person lives on the compounding interest of their forebears’ estates. They don’t manage this estate portfolio themselves, no, dear god, because that would mean working. It would mean researching opportunity horizons and studying futures. Taking investment seriously would mean having to learn shit.
      Apparently this is a real person who exists and spends her time raging about these topics. She seems well.

                      If you believe Sen. McCain deserves to die, then it doesn't matter.

                        A Newsweek writer published an article today about the vitriol and celebration coming from the Alt Right about McCain's diagnosis. While I'm sure there are plenty of Alt Right trolls celebrating, only the blindest of blind spots would cause you to write that story specifically about one end of the spectrum.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                                Doesn't even make sense that

                                1. Someone with cancer would ask a politician for help with it.

                                2. That a politician's cancer treatment advice would be to move.

                                I'm confused.
