A quotation from **Joseph Addison**
> LUCIUS: From hence, let fierce contending nations know,
> What dire effects from civil discord flow.
**Joseph Addison** (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
_Cato_ , Act 5, sc. 4, l. 106ff (1713)

But this wasn’t always true. Decades ago, fascism and its followers had a clear definition in the U.S. consciousness, especially among the Americans who spent their lives fighting it. “A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends,” wrote Vice President Henry A. Wallace for The New York Times in 1944. “The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy. They use isolationism as a slogan to conceal their own selfish imperialism,” continued Wallace. “They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

Hmmm 🤔 When someone foments hate and disunity and supports guns and the NRA like he did, well--there are consequences.
#guns #hate #disunity #consequences
Charlie fomented of hate. He fomented division. Period. He didn't care about the proliferation of guns. This is a consequence.

You are intentionally sending dog whistles to your law enforcement & disaster recovery teams, as well as all right wing extremist, to not help/seek to save anyone who they think does not look, act, or sound like a “Texan” or an “American.” SHAME!

He wasn’t built to feel. I wasn’t supposed to care.
But when the sniper hit him, I realized—
You weren’t supposed to matter.
But you did.

This image is a bold, sci-fi-styled preorder promo for the book Echoes of the Fallen: Disunity by Jason G. Butterfield. With a background that fades from galaxy purple to digital blue, the text hooks you right away: "Pre Order Now – Coming 03/19/2025" Tagline across the top: "A story of two soldiers—one human, one synthetic" (Yeah, that's some buddy-cop drama meets space opera energy.) The tilted book cover features the angular silhouette of a man made of polygonal lines and techy vibes. Two white arrows point to emotional beats: 🔻 "Feel the grit, chaos, and heartbreak" 🔺 "There’s heart here—loyalty, sacrifice, identity" Bottom line: this ad’s got style, soul, and the hype of a midnight video game release.

A sci-fi book cover here that’s practically humming with tension and tech. Title: **Echoes of the Fallen: DISUNITY** Author: **Jason G. Butterfield** (solid name—definitely sounds like someone who’s seen some intergalactic stuff go down). The background is a cool, geometric silhouette of a man's face in profile, built out of glowing blue and gray wireframe-style shapes—very “cyberpunk meets deep space existential crisis.” Tagline: **"The war took everything from him—except an echo that refused to fade."** (Yeah, cue the synth music and slow zoom on the hero staring into the void.) At the bottom, we get the goods: > *"A gripping sci-fi war story of sacrifice, rebellion, and love, Disunity explores the boundaries between man and machine, duty and defiance."* In short: this cover is giving high-stakes drama, gritty rebellion, and a whole lot of heart wrapped in a digital shell. Basically, *Terminator* meets *The Matrix* with a dash of emotional depth.
Boom—this one’s the full book cover, and it’s flexing hard with classic sci-fi drama and digital-age soul-searching. Front and center: "Echoes of the Fallen: DISUNITY" by Jason G. Butterfield The title’s bold in red, the tagline below it whispers mystery: "The war took everything from him—except an echo that refused to fade." Yeah, that line could easily be narrated by a gravel-voiced movie trailer guy. The cover art shows the side profile of a man's head made up of sharp-edged blue polygons and glowing connection lines—totally giving off “thinking machine meets broken soldier” vibes. The back blurb? Well, here’s the juicy breakdown: Corporal Gordon and Isaac-2199, a synthetic soldier, fight on the front lines of a brutal human-alien war. But when Isaac is left behind and presumed dead, things get... complicated. His mind survives, lurking in the digital shadows. Gordon’s caught between duty and loyalty, chased by military brass and a rogue AI, trying to uncover a truth that might j
Here it is!!!!!
The official cover of Disunity! A Novella sci-fi war story of sacrifice, rebellion, and the ghosts we leave behind.
Coming soon!
Launching soon, what do you think?
#CoverReveal #Disunity #SciFiBooks
The background is a deep, dramatic maroon, setting the mood like a moody '90s drama poster. Bold white text at the top says: "Tomorrow, the truth is revealed." Just below that, a banner with a blue geometric edge drops the real emotional punchline: "The war took everything from him—except an echo that refused to fade." (Yeah, that line deserves its own slow-motion close-up with rain and a synth soundtrack.) There’s also a faint shadowy outline of a man’s face in profile—totally giving off mysterious, lone-warrior vibes. In short: dramatic, cryptic, and ready to drop some major plot twists like a surprise track on a Tragically Hip B-side.
Tomorrow, the truth is revealed.
Any last guesses about the book before the full cover reveal?

This image is serving up some serious sci-fi meltdown vibes. Big bold red text on a pale bluish-gray background screams: "WARNING: PRIMARY SENSOR ARRAY OFFLINE. ERROR. ERROR. UNABLE TO CONTINUE…" It's like your computer, spaceship, or toaster just tried to channel HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey and gave up mid-sentence. Definitely feels like something you'd see just before the lights flicker and the ominous music kicks in. Mood: full-blown retro-tech panic with a side of dramatic flair.
WARNING: PRIMARY SENSOR ARRAY OFFLINE. ERROR. ERROR. UNABLE TO CONTINUE…
Isaac’s systems are failing. The squad is leaving. But is this the end?
