Yeah what’s the metric for success in protesting a cause so embedded in the roots?

Looks like spiked clothing is back in, boys!

And then what?

Someone ddos or hack this fucking thing asap, please. Is his password still maga2024?

Once they’ve deemed there’s enough professional journalists disbanded to start getting dirty.

A chunk of my savings is going to be spent celebrating the day this guy fucking dies.

I know it’s hella cheesy and there’s a masculinity joke about the fantasy of wanting to live out the cliche that is sacrificing yourself to buy time for others to run off and live, but honestly with fascism at everyone’s doorstep and me without ever having had a retirement plan or sense of purpose, I can’t think of a better opportunity to line myself up to live out that fantasy.

…mind you I am not actively seeking to speed up that process right now/I’d like to live as long as I could, but I’ve just kind of been bracing for mental impact that that’s probably going to be the equivalent of my retirement plan.

Anecdotally, a lot of my friends are doctors (/humblebrag) and are looking to gtfo of the states/have been looking do so since election night.

I would myself but uhhhh, my spouse and I haven’t got any kids and I’d rather stay and fight/do what I can within the community we have here.

hey now, at least we dehumanize and tuck our embarrassing drug addicts into the lower class neighborhoods and under bridges were they belong so we can ignore them easier! /s

I do think it’s ironic that a chunk of the places that have universal healthcare still have a massive smoking problem.

I can’t help but wonder in a silver-linings-to-shit-stains kind of way if part of the reason smoking was curbed as much as it was in the states (aside from successful votes/lobbying) is because it’s too expensive to die from.

Anytime I see him doing that fucking dance I just think of the end of Hereditary.

“Come clean” in this context means “go sober.” They are all refusing to go sober.

Pinching pennies from public resources into private pockets, as harmless as that may seem when it starts, inevitably has the endgame of slavery.

Unfortunately for them, nobody wants to have kids in the economy they’ve created, and by the time they realize it, their only options are to either raise the retirement age, or open the borders.

Either way I would not be surprised if we have an upcoming generation of suicide bombers who— because they can’t afford healthcare and don’t want to contribute anymore to the system— take themselves out in a blaze of glory alongside their overlords.

Yeah if it were overturned it’d just rear its head again later by another name, and really it was just removing red tape that was likely being circumvented anyway.

As long as capitalism is involved, it’ll seep its way into any democratic system and uproot any “greater good,” “for the people” outcome in favor of whoever’s benefiting the most from the capitalist component.

Self care is punk.

Fucking die you old turtle-face. Jesus Christ that fucking face gets more and more disgusting with each passing day.

…sorry, I know that’s not constructive, I just wanted some catharsis from venting.

Let’s “slam” them with a rebuttal, as headlines like to write.

Even if I went offline, so far I have seen ai slop seeping into:

• video games (even by big studios like Outlast Trials or COD)
• smaller merchants at local events or malls
• commercials (even big companies like Coke, Mazda, and smaller ads)

I can’t imagine how much worse it’ll get with the flood gates opened.

I would not want to be a stock photographer or model right now.

The Obamas produced an end-of-the-world movie a few years ago wherein a character gives the same idea as a realization; nobody’s in charge and we’re just flying by the seat of our pants. In any other context it wouldn’t have stuck with me, but it did ‘cause I saw their names attached to it.
