I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.

As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.

Well of course. They knew all along that they’ve been cultivating a base driven by unreasoning fear and hate, and they know full well how violent such people can be.

There was never a moment when the politicians pushing that fear and hate didn’t know they were full of shit.

You misread what I wrote. I didn’t say it couldn’t fool me, I said I’ll never pay for it. I’m not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it’s faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I’m going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.

There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.

Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.

Welp, there went any urge I might have had to fly anywhere in the continental United States.

Assuming we survive this fascist shit as a country, one of the first things we need to do is a constitutional amendment removing the pardon power from the president and putting it into the hands of a committee with appointees from all three branches.

Alternate headline: Bannon tells GOP they’ve been doing just an absolute fuckton of crimes.

For people who didn’t read the whole article, you really should. It touches on the fact that Derek Huffman ended up sent to the front lines in the war against Ukraine, and for a while there were rumors he’d died there.

It also talks about another family that did the same thing and immediately got swindled out of everything, with Russia’s famously corrupt law enforcement doing nothing to help them against the swindler.

Sadly, getting sued is exactly what these hate-filled pieces of shit want. They want it to go to SCOTUS, which will merrily say, “fuck precedent, let’s make the gays stop marrying. Get back in the closet!”

Throw the actual ICE “agents” who did that into prison for kidnapping and human trafficking. There have to be consequences for shit like this.

Have some sympathy for them. After all, what other choice do they have? They spent the entire campaign and all of the Biden administration lying continuously about how many undocumented immigrants there are in the country, how frequently they cross the border, how many are dangerous… basically, their entire campaign was built on obvious, blatant lies for stupid people.

So now they don’t have any other option but to layer on additional lies about how effective ICE is and to “deport” people here legally - sometimes to countries they’ve never been in.

Have some sympathy. Being this psychotically evil is hard work!

Living up to the username, I see.

When you have no power to enact change, you speak truth to the ones who do.

It makes sense once you understand the conservative mindset: “Anyone who disagrees with me in even the most tepid of ways is a flaming liberal and doesn’t deserve to exist, because I’m so fragile I must be validated in my beliefs at all times.”

Once you recognize that we’re dealing with an entire political party that has actively driven itself insane and become a cult, this sort of thing becomes perfectly expected.

Sadly, there are some who don’t even know it, because they’re buying services from someone else that buys them from someone else that buys them from Amazon. So they’re currently wondering what the fuck is even going on, since they thought they weren’t using AWS.

Oh, you can fuck right off with that nonsense. I’m not both-sidesing anything. Israel committed (and is going to commit, almost certainly) more genocide. They are absolutely the bad guys here. Acknowledging that Hamas hasn’t been good for Palestine either isn’t at all the same thing as pretending they’re as bad as a country committing genocide.

I don’t expect elections before the end of occupation. I am 100% in favor of Israel getting the fuck out of Palestine, and fully support a Palestinian state.

It’s just important to be realistic about Hamas.

It’s Hamas. They existed as a terrorist organization long before now, and they’ve ruled Gaza without elections since the mid-2000’s. Israel is 1000 times worse - like I said, they’ve got a taste for genocide. But that doesn’t mean it’s pleasant to be a Palestinian caught between the two.
