climate change chuckles about human’s belief it will spare nation states.

“herp derp jerb creators deserve to be above the law!”

What our robber barons have convinced many to most Americans to believe to spin their greed disease into being somehow noble, and what those robber barons unreflectively believe about themselves.

There are developed nations, which we most certainly are not, that literally prorate vehicular fines as a percentage of income. We would never do that here, because this shithole, including tens of millions of self-hating, deluded fools, believe the person that exploits thousands of laborers for private profit deserves to risk your life doing 90 on main street on the basis of their successful exploitation.

I consider it insult to say I agree with either of our 2 parties on 50% of the issues. Almost all of both of their policy positions are derivations on “how will this metastasize the capital markets faster” and not “how will this improve the wellbeing of the citizens of society, preferably at the expense/taxation of the capital markets that we kindly permit to profit off of society at all so long as they don’t undermine said society to increase their profits”

Both parties would be lighting themselves on fire to prevent the latter. The tail has been wagging the dog for a long time, the fucking profoundly perverse servitude of a society to an economy. It obviously needs to be the other way around or… Well this.

To be fair, it would be in line with the practiced values of the Catholic Church throughout history.

They were pro-Nazi until the Nazis were gone. Then ohmygawdwemadeamistaaaake

I voted for Harris, and voted for Biden before that, and Clinton before that. With shame as I should. Harm reduction, methadone instead of heroin.

It’s nothing to brag about. You guys try to make them sound like a good choice, when neoliberals are for the same status quo, only minus the scapegoating. They’re just a lesser degree of bad. They’re for mass homelessness, they’re for entire murder for profit economic sectors including American “Healthcare,” they’re for ever worsening income inequity, because on economic policy (that informs and often dictates social Ills) they’re on the same take as Republicans. Just because they don’t cheer and pour the blood they’re drenched in over their heads in celebration like Gatorade, doesn’t mean their hands are any cleaner.

That scapegoating makes Republicans worth voting against, but you’re praising Jack the Ripper in the face of Adolf Hitler. No American should feel anything but shame about only having a extreme right wing party and a fascist party as our only two options. No one should have left an American polling place with a smile or pride for the last half century, it’s been a rocketship to avarice diseased oblivion, that Trumpism is just a newer symptom of, not the cause.

Reagan toppled this empire, it just takes an empire a while to hit the ground. We have arrived at a while. Trump is more of a vulture come to feast on the corpse.

Democrats would rather lose to fascists than win as the people’s champions.

There’s no bribe money in the latter.

Oops, thought it was a republican breaking into my house. ICE does love wearing those masks because they know what they’re doing is wrong, sorry not sorry.

And it was. I don’t like guns, but I live in a shithole with fascists 🤷

I told you he didn’t do it!

I don’t think Fred would be capable of that.

He’d be telling anyone who would listen that mistakes are just a part of learning, even as our tortured Earth starts making the very air we all breathe make the last humans lungs burn.

That’s why I certainly praise Fred, but could never subscribe to him. He had an unshakable conviction in the intrinsic decency of people. I’ve come to have conviction that the opposite is more often true.

Honestly, I’m glad he’s not here to see this.

I’m not going to lie, this is a profitable move by Trump, because his voters will line up to get them to antagonize those outside their in group, as was the entire point of their vote, to harm their enemies as an end in itself, regardless of whether he’s able to get the SCOTUS to rule that up means down and no third term means infinite terms for Republicans only.

I’m just looking forward to all the idiots giggling about their own enslavement, as I see anyone wearing that hat as a derivation of this:

It’s been fascinating watching Bill Maher’s brain atrophy over the last 15 or so years.

He’s living proof as to why there should be ANNUAL DRIVING TESTS required past the age of 60 to keep your driver’s license.

He’s always been a narcissistic asshole, but he used to have a few decent insights. I stopped entertaining him when he started his tirade about Islam specifically being the problem. He used to know religion in general was just a vector of control by people with more material aspirations, but conveniently forgot because he wanted to start old man raging which requires cutting power to your logic and reason.

If you don’t love me at my nerdiest, you don’t deserve me at my I get off eating my partner out.

If you think your salvation is in the neoliberals that enabled their opposition into getting us here for 50 years, you’re almost as deluded as Trump’s legion of useful idiots.

The DNC would rather lose to the Fascists than move to the left. The former keeps their shared bribe gravy train running which is the point, fighting their bribers would not.

The DNC either needs to be stolen by a populist leftist as Trump did with the RNC, or get comfortable because if the choice is fascist or neoliberal as it has been for half a century, we will continue to find new depths to descend to until total system collapse.

Fascism is the union of business and state to accelerate metastasis at any cost, let’s say we even have another free election, and best case scenario we elect another neoliberal, I can’t respect your opinion or consider it informed if you truly believe the Neoliberals will once back in power do a thing to meaningfully reign in the capitalist’s governmental capture or redistribute their Ill gotten wealth.

If the Neoliberals somehow get back into power in 4 years, they’ll leave the table set for the fascists to march again in another 4. Affirmation ribbons are leaps and bounds better than scapegoats, but you can’t eat affirmation ribbons, nor can you live in them. Our mass homeless population, our murder for profit confidence scheme we call American Healthcare, our education system at every level in utter ruin, these are not partisan issues because they would cost big corpo exploited profits to fix, and so both parties protect the status quo from us, the people that suffer and die under them. Fascists point and laugh at you, but neoliberals just shrug and go “market forces, amirite 🤷?”

Oligarchy is why we have Trump. There probably isn’t hope, but if you refuse understand big corpo is the enemy of the people and the cause of all this stemming from the Reagan Revolution, then not only will you burn in the fires of fascism, you’ll burn ignorant as to why and how to boot.

Americans haven’t had an honest vote on the shape or priorities of our economy in half a century.

Just the social issue wedges that economy either causes or in some way informs in order to keep us at each other’s throats and not at our shared enemy in their towers and guard gated compounds.

Would you like your crony market capitalism with affirmation ribbons or scapegoats? Freedom!

Example: you know what would cause a lot fewer abortions almost immediately with absolutely no bans from getting one when the woman deems it necessary? A living wage that can support a family. But that’s a non starter, as it would cost our rulers capital, and lower their quarterly ego score estimates.

The situation will continue to decline until collapse or the elevation of an actual leftwing government, and both parties conspire to prevent that from happening.

Am I the only one who can conjure younger versions of myself in my head for a check-in in meditative exercises?

I’m 40 and 19 year old me’s only real shock is that I’ve let it go on this long. We’re still largely on the same page, and understand the nature of the few discrepancies, even if I don’t necessarily agree with myself.

Then you get to die alone eating cat food while the company you slaved for announces even more record profits and layoffs on the TV.

Thanks for all that can do attitude and work ethic as I drained the sum of your life force over decades, it was just enough to pay for the imported Himalayan granite galley counters on my backup mega yacht, sucker!!!

thinking of liberals

The ones that enabled us into this mess.

But at least they saved us from universal healthcare and economic equity. Dodged a real bullet there.
