    Bud, you need to take a breath. This was a thing before social media, I promise you. It’s not a psy op.

    It’s simple, toxic masculinity throughout the post war period led to a lot of men lying about their height (same for women and their weight during the same period). Over time public perception of what a tall person looked like shifted, and now every woman thinks that 6 ft is average height.

    This phenomenon came out of American advertising, not Russian agents.








  • The U.S. IS inherently a “murder and pillage” kind of nation, yes. It’s kind of the only thing we’ve ever done. If you’re from the U.S. (like me) and you keep asking yourself “how did we get here?” Or “what happened to the America of my youth”, then reading a little bit about history could be helpful. Or shit, talk to any Native about what their history, culture, language is, and then follow up with “What happened to them?”.

    The United States of America is a failed experiment. It’s time to put it down.



  • I’m sorry that my government is making a mess for you and yours. But please don’t think that there is a lack of action. There have been basically nonstop (very liberal and mostly toothless) protests since before the election even, but the news refuses to report on them. Furthermore, there is a LOT going on from folks who would rather not advertise how they are resisting.

    A resistance to a fascist government cannot, by it’s nature, be public facing, so you’ll never know everything that people are sacrificing and doing every day. But they are. We are.
