If you’re waiting for the part where I say I’m just kidding and would never wish death on anybody, please allow me to make myself clear: I sincerely, genuinely hope that Arizona Senator John McCain’s heart stops beating, and that he is subsequently declared dead by qualified medical professionals very soon. I don’t wish him a painful death, I don’t wish him a slow death, I don’t wish him an unnatural or violent death; I only wish that he becomes incapable of facilitating the merciless slaughter of any more human beings. And yet here he is, as if taunting us all, crowing after a major surgery at 80 years of age about how he can’t wait to get back to work.

If Caitlin Johnstone represents the 99%, why do so many people think she is a heartless bitch for her recent “Please just fucking die already” post?
No that is a wrong deduction in that comment. But personality politics is unproductive and even recidivist as Lenin has pointed out.
It is unfortunately a weakness in the feminist movement. What one observes in US political discourse is a starkness and obstinate stance about one’s convictions, a tunnel vision which is re-mindful of fascist propaganda and the tendency to
divert attention to the structure that shapes one’s adversaries.
corrigenda : to divert attention from the structure etc.
There are some rare individuals without whom the world would be a lot better off. McCain is one of them. I’ve spent about half of my long lifetime in Arizona, and am very familiar with Johnny McBomb. My favorite quote (my own) concerning the Senate’s favorite warmonger is: “They never should have let that sonofabitch out of his cage.” Good job Caitlin. Keep tellin’ it like it is!
