It’s bizarre that you’re even entertaining this as an idea.

Unless Musk loses all of his shares, not sold, and not only some, all of them - Tesla is complicit in providing power to Elon Musk.

No they do not have a path to redemption as long as it is *literally the reason he was able to buy (and manipulate for his own gains) Twitter.

It’s like she hasn’t ever considered that there are men that don’t even know it’s happening.

But sure, yeah - I’m totally patting wannabe rapists on the back. I won’t be reading misandry as a response to misogyny.

Spoken like a vibe coder

Go ahead and walk me through the steps towards that goal.

Bizarre thing is, while this should be seen as a denunciation - his base will just love it.

The longer I’m alive the more I think of MAGA as just Squidbillies.

I can’t say I blame them, why would they want Ya’ll Queda to visit?

Points mean nothing on this platform, I’d do my best to start deprogramming the redditor out of you.

Great change is upon us, there is hope yet.

Trump is this fucking place. The embodiment of everything I’ve despised about this fucking cesspool since before he was fake firing people on fake reality TV.

I remember seeing Trump on the Apprentice and thinking ‘What does he even do?’ . I asked my mom, she said he was a piece of shit. I then researched him and learned that the show was bullshit.

So my lived experience tells me that your assertion is fundamentally wrong. No, Trump is not this place - and you are the perfect tool of your enemy.

If there have been decades long mis/dis-information campaigns having been waged by the likes of Rupert Murdoch, Russian and Chinese online actors, Saudi Royalty doing things like 9/11 or buying Twitter for Elon Musk, and all these things have resulted in the creation and further radicalization of MAGA - what are you?

What I see is a disillusioned individual that doesn’t recognize the justified hatred they feel for their fellow man is the exact thing these entities have been working towards. When you hear about the 40 or 60 year old plan to destroy the United States, what part to play do you think you have in it?

I’ll give you a hint, the French Revolution was very bloody. When the nobles had been dealt with, who do you think the people with the guillotines turned on? Each other.

This summed up my point perfectly, thank you.

I wish you luck on finding your path :). Don’t ever let anyone tell you that it should be easy - it isn’t. That doesn’t mean life isn’t worth it, that your life isn’t worth it. Even if it might be hard to see, sometimes.

That’s cool, I’m glad for you. Genuinely, I’m hoping someday that I can maneuver myself into a position like yours.

Well, speaking as someone who has processed their own ‘void’ - I came to the conclusion that not referring to it as some spectral thing really helped.

It’s not a void, my Dad was a drunk and I needed him to be my Dad. He wasn’t, and I have to fill in the gaps.

When I started addressing these things as they were, rather than as the unknowable void within my dark soul, they stopped being unknowable voids. Arguably my soul stopped being so dark, as well. Food for thought, YMMV.

What do you do, if you don’t mind my asking?

There are many flavors of stupid, many of them are just plain evil.

Member all those shows where polygraphs, or really any kind of tech that’s advanced enough to be hard to figure out, are just called lie-detectors and treated as if they really do detect lies? Shows where the main character will poke themselves with a pin to ‘trick’ the polygraph, or some other kind of bullshit.

This is what your average lead brained alcoholic boomer accepts as true, because dey seen it on da teevee. A failed polygraph test is absolutely the kind of bullshit that his supporters would eat up as evidence.

Or drones, specifically outfitted with guns and explosives

What’s interesting is 5000$ today is about 129$ in 1860.

Slaves were, on average, worth about 800 bucks in those times. I’m not sure how much a baby would be worth, but even if it comes to a quarter of what a full grown slave is worth… that means that they literally think we are worth less than slaves…

You act like that’s different than a democracy, please define why.

From a logical perspective, if you’re trying to discover the truth of something you’re inevitably going to start weighing and eliminating variables. It makes sense to start from the absolute bottom, prove or disprove that, then move on.
