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…

Tim Barrus: Beating Up Bloody Bullies
I am a communist. All is not okay. I took the black pill a while ago. Full stop. The vibe here is: Agony. I put my children on a flight out of this sick and sickening country. Daddy stays in America to fight. All is not okay. I will not…

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: 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: 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…

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…

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…

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.…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. I love the shooting from the hip style of writing. I have never understood why Americans cannot fight back hard. The convicted felon spits in Washington, DC’s face. That statement alone will be too strong for the comments police. The NYT is denigrating what they, themselves, have become.…

Take notes. I am not amused. The good. The bad. And the indifferent. A legal argument. It’s usually a legal/religious debate. If you read closely, that would be David French debating David French. This is illegal. It is also illegal for any person to drool over all the money these…

Take notes. It’s Christmas. The billionaire class gets to tuck us in and read us fables and myths. He is entitled to have access to the New York Times . Enormous wealth counts. It’s all one needs. We must give our readers what they want and this is what they…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. I am living in my car. I have found a cottage in the woods. In two weeks, I move in. A hurricane made sure I am living out of one bag. A photography bag. I have lived out of one canvas bag for fifty years. Sue me. Tonight…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Incendiary Comments is a book that examines my relationship with the New York Times. It’s been a long one. I am publishing my stuff there in terms of following patterns. Themes: Politics. Resistance. Medical. Autism, Neurodivergence (I’m Aspergers). Economics. Democracy. Homelessness. Work-At-Home. Education. Tech. Suits. Parenting. HIV/AIDS. The whole nine…

Take notes. This is darker than it seems. People need time. There is no time. Allow me to be so bold as to suggest that there is another aspect to this. The media. I indict all of you. Might I suggest that the resistance has been forming the structure of…

Take Notes Standardize. Regularize. Arrange. Conform. Anneal. Temper. Methodize. Sort Out. Balance. Control. These are the rapist’s tools. He applies them to a canvas, and we are that canvas. No mention here of the term rapist. This is what normalization means. It’s called cherry-picking. If we all play polite, maybe…

Take Notes. NYT. Complicit. Capitulation. You are not the polite resistance. What I see is an army of fall-in-line suits. “We validate rape.” Now, it’s normal to rape women. Not even women get it. If a man puts his fingers into a woman’s vagina, and the woman objects, that’s rape.…

Tim Barrrus New York Times
Take notes. The distance between Hiroshima and Seoul is 400 miles. The Koreans know it is in reality, the distance to the moon. History speaks volumes. The next itchy player would be Mao Zedong. The 1950s saw enormous instability. Douglas MacArthur wanted to use the bomb again. And he was…

Take notes. Very well-written. I have to give credit where credit is due. French pretty much flays the flesh of organized religion, and this is a good thing because it recognizes the complicity of indifference. That patriarchy is fundamentally beneath contempt. French does not go at it with righteousness. That…

Take notes. I have been trying to join Blue Sky for months. It won’t let me in. I give up. I cannot afford to leave the Internet. I don’t make a dime from books. Nada. I’m living in a car in this mountain cold. Fingers ice. Hurricane destroyed everything. No…
