Tim Barrus, Opinion Editor, New York Times
NYT Opinion Editor One voice is missing. Even in the abortion issue as it now defines the culture war. You have the liberal writers. You have centrist writers. But you have no radical voices insisting on the need for subversion. Subversiveness is off the table. It was never on the…

The Days of Yesteryear. Today, the drugs are better.

I am a communist. I’m not sure if this piece of work on the economy, and the rich are selling pencils and apples on Wall Street. Paypal. This piece is not too hopeful. The unhopeful are wetting their panties over an empending recession. I am not that hopeful. No one…

There is something a little inflated about an editorial POV that paints Republicanism as the real America. I would argue that Republicanism is what has caused us to stand on the brink but we do not know what of. Looking down at our feet, we know the abyss is there.…

There is usually an adult somewhere out there who could reach a kid. This would be men. But men want to hurt you. Women are from another planet. No one will help you. They only want you to bleed.

That permanent storage underground so deliberate in anticipating millenia failure after failure apocalypse and singularity have become rich and strange.

Why I Quit High School I didn’t quit, I just didn’t go much. To high school. I was in a special program where I was literally let loose. Do I Say: I have Asperger’s. Or do I say, I am Asperger’s. All my voices are Asperger’s, too. It’s all so…

Here, in Appalachia, we’re too uneducated to be joyful. We do not live in America, and we are quite good at ignoring debilitation because it might mean us. We know decrepitude when we see it. It’s ordinary. School is decrepit. Media is creeping decrepitude. Law is decrepit. The coal mines,…

The hurt has been forgotten in the toxic whirlwind of edges and some so sharp as flint cuts well beyond our grasp. Wandering in the cold. The hurt will clutch at any straw.

I am constrained by the New York Times from using these words. Fat. Old. White. Men. Guns. It’s their fault. All of it. Readers are not getting the full story. Civility is going to crush us as sure as it shapes who we are and how tolerant we are.

I do not like taking on educational issues. It’s too big. It’s cumbersome. I have seen it up close all over the country. From blind kids in NYC to deaf kids in San Francisco. To boys with HIV who had learned that education is a hustle, too. Teaching kids to…

Where are the republican women. They’re celebrating. What did you think they were going to do.

Tim Barrus: New York Times
I Should Begin With Synopsis. But No. We know this: America seems to want our death. I have always lived with that, and it is not dissimilar to living with nuclear inevitability. I am autistic. A high functioning autistic. I will not tolerate any Homo sapiens with their various and…

Tim Barrus, New York Times
The New York Times has banned my voice. I am a communist. Not their kind of person. I don’t see things (like life) the same way gatekeepers do. They have made it very clear. They are not banning me necessarily for the ideas I articulate. THEY BAN ME FOR WHO…

TIM BARRUS, NEW YORK TIMES BLACKLIST
I didn’t think anything could surprise me. But this one threw me out the window. The New York Times has a blacklist. A blacklist is a collection of names of people they overtly discriminate against as some kind of form of revenge and vengeance. I do not know why. I…

Tim Barrus: Comment Moderation, NYT
Hi Friends! I am so excited to know that you refuse to publish anything and everything I write. How intransigent and fun! All of it is in my book book book! How about that! There’s a lot about how educational it was learning from you. I am so glad I…

Tim Barrus, The New York Times I am a communist. And I get the voice. Okay, who will be King Of It All. Does anyone really think, that the Movers and the Shakers and the Criminals that now own the Internet, have been sitting at their desks counting their money…

Some Will Some Won’t
I am a communist. You could always hear us coming down the hall. Kids looking around for codes and secret signs. We all do that anyway. Kids are kids on a good day. “But he had a rainbow on the door.” My ideas about health care begin with having the…

I am with Antifa. Haters rage at us. They’re going to kill mom and dad. Already dead for decades. The Feds stalk Antifa. Haters poison my pets. Publish maps to my house. They pinpoint my controversial sites including Facebook, and Twitter (thank you). They cannot spell. They burn my books,…

Civility Dreampolitik is denial. Cute. Deathpolitik is far more real. I am not the kind of person who should be reading this smart, somewhat intellectual take on what happened as if this might be 2016 again and again. Georgia voters should be reading this. The groundhog is still in the…

AMERICA IS A DEAD CORPSE
TIM BARRUS: NEW YORK TIMES We have seen the cliff, and we have jumped. There are no returns on this purchase. To wit: the Democrats. At least sometimes they hold hands after they jump. But the result is always the same. America is just another cultural corpse. Athens become one.…

What democracy. No one wants to say that what we have is a cult and a regime. The elite privileged are eternally focused on saving democracy. They have a vested interest in that they could control the system if they could win it back. Does it matter if they win…
