Wolf Puppies
I am a communist. The only thing that has ever brought me “happiness” was sitting in a bare room that contained a box, and then having six timber wolf puppy new-borns climb out of the box to come find me to nibble on. Wolf puppies are born toothless, deaf, and…

TIM BARRUS: THE HA HA
I am a communist. I would read anything by Jamelle Bouie. To create a list of the deviant’s crimes, would take several issues of NYT. History will see the deviant as even more deviant than we knew. Mister Deviant, you are not running the world. Nanny has been busy. But…

HOMO SAPIENS
I am a communist. What does that mean. I don’t really know. I am attracted to the idea that Capitalism has no heart in its cold and bitter soul, and having studied civil societies for a long time, I would argue that we are still living with political paradigms that…

Tim Barrus: David Brooks Calls For Massive Resistance
I am a communist. Finally, a voice at the New York Times is saying it. A mass civic uprising to overthrow the Deviant. I have one question. Where is Stormy. Where is General Milley. Where is E. Jean Carroll. Where is Liz Cheney. This is the short list. The long…

Tim Barrus: All Americans Are At Risk
I am a communist. This is the best thing Ezra Klein has done in his career. Some of us have been screaming this stuff from the rooftops. For years and years. No one listened then, and no one is listening now. I always thought there would be a big bang…

Tim Barrus: Harvard Is a Class Warfare Machine
I am a communist. Class and caste. I feel disoriented reading this. I was not educated at Harvard. I was educated in a grey depressed factory rust-town where the principal would shave your head if your hair touched your ears. That was the focus of education. Your hair and what…

Tim Barrus: No Safe Zone Underground Bunker
I am kinda stunned. For the last ten years, I have been writing a book about how do homo sapiens build back an entire culture. A bit dystopian, but grounded in reality. Everyone leaves their bunkers at the same time. I am afraid of Americans. I am terrified by Americans.…

Tim Barrus: Playing In The Rubble
I am a communist. I note that short term pain is code for something is going to be removed. For the disabled, it will mean food. It will mean medications. I know that is not what you want to hear. But the measuring itself is an institution of massive variables.…

Tim Barrus: Save When By Fits
Controversy is a pathfinder of trouble, and at times in your face honesty, humor, pathos, and willful perplexity the uncertain terrain of life itself that shatters assumptions, unsettles easy presumptions, and yet, while we walk through our day-to-day existence, the sheer gravitas of everything around us in our ordinary vision…

Tim Barrus: The Dark King
I am a communist. The issue is class and caste. The capitalists love putting their wealth in everyone’s face. The old adage – the poor want to be rich, too – is showing cracks in the facade. Americans cannot afford the lives they are living. There is fuel to this…

Tim Barrus: Burying America
I am a communist. A call for courage. Americans can get caught up in the terror of that knock on the door. In reality, they’re not knocking on doors. They’re breaking them down. We will come for you while you sleep. We will take your children, and tear up your…

Capitalism Has Failed
I am a communist. Marx got it right: “There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery.” How do you measure misery. When I am writing in foreign countries, I like to go visit grocery stores. I go…

WHY IS THE CULTURE SEEKING WORTH AND VALIDATION
tim barrus I am a communist. So what is all this stuff about how you can save the system. Even the word – system – is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole. You are articulating informed theory that people might behave one way or…

The Deviant Will Kill Us All
I am a communist. The deviant wants to kill us all. But Americans do not believe it. Brooks is not alone. The pessimism he seems to struggle with isn’t pessimism, it’s reality. The dividing line between suicide and homicide is razor thin. Rapist psychodynamic traits emerge as an overly assaultive,…

Tim Barrus Americans Shiver in Their Pathetic Shoes
I am a communist. “And Respond.” Americans have never responded. They ruminate, and then they bend the knee. If North Korea invaded us, would you respond. No. It’s football night. You can go with Miss Timid. You will crawl at the Deviant’s feet. You can go with a polite note…

Comment Moderation Is A Pornography
I am a communist. NYT admits to me, they keep a blacklist of writers names. They’re looking for names, not anything the lower despicable voices – us – have to express. East Coast Suits talking blacklist. I have no voice. Gagged. They can’t tolerate strong writing. They lie about how…

I AM A COMMUNIST
tim barrus I am a communist. I have been screaming about what is going to happen, and then it did. Happen. I told you so. I told you so. This will not be published because I said: I told you so. Three times. I told Americans this would happen –…

Children At War
I am a communist. Get over it. I have as much right to be here as you do. Christianity is a pornography. How many wars have we fought because Christians demanded it. Demanding the death of Other People is what Christianity is all about. It is the most ruthless venality…

American Terrorism
Take notes. You can’t fight back with a sock in your mouth. Mouth socks are not normal. That there are norms of existence – most of them are illusions – can be a dangerous thing. Not acting is uncivil. Paul pokes the resistance. She doesn’t even know there is one.…

The Felon Rapist Is Killing People With HIV
Take notes. “Our basic civility as a nation.” There it is. The beating heart. The problem is that we have no idea what civility even means. I think it is one thing. Moderators think it’s another. I think everyone should express themselves. Even if I do not agree with where…

We Will Tape Your Mouth Shut
Timothée Patrick Barrus WE WILL DUCK TAPE YOUR MOUTH Stoked Have left Me Naked To Mine Enemies. Why the New York Times. I have read hundreds of stories, and all of them are: Nancy first learned about the New York Times when she was two. Nancy is very smart. She…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. I love this piece by Pam Paul. I am more than a little autistic. Neurodivergent doesn’t work for me. For me, neurodivergence must be like something you do to get inside someone’s brain. I do not get metaphors. I take what you have to say, literally. What people…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. Appalachia: I have coffee in the coffee shop on Main Street. We call it Main. The City Fathers arrived to answer questions. There is really only one question: Why did no one show up to help us through a hurricane. You rebuild. Struggling. There used to be mountain…
