About me.
Leftist, gun-owning, free-speech absolutist. Philadelphia is my home. Chaotic Good.
Motto.
Hvars þú böl kannt, kveð þú þér bölvi at ok gef-at þínum fjándum frið.
Where you recognize evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies.
- Hávamál (Sayings of the High One), The Elder Edda
Policy positions.
Black Lives Matter. LBGTQIA+ Rights are Human Rights. Gun Rights Are Minority Rights. ANTIFA (literally “anti-fascist”) are the good guys. Donald Trump was the worst president in American history (this includes Nixon and Jackson). Free speech (not as defined by Elon Musk) is essential to American democracy. The Roberts Court is antithetical to the American concept of justice and fairness.
