you know. just like jefferson and hamilton. america has always been this weird form of fascism that fetishizes libertarian ideals while having a top down authoritarian regime. trump is just a lowering of the curtain. everything can get worse faster now because there’s nothing preventing them from being who they really are

our economic system is wholly underpinned by logical fallacies

and customers are just out here like “naw”

two the two people who downvoted this person, it’s true though. any two party system is a one party system where all government decisions are made long before we find out about them as the politicians form coalitions within their parties. the republicans didn’t become MAGA in 2016. they became MAGA in 2014 and 2015. 2016 was just them announcing their coalition

Uranium in its unenriched natural state is very almost stable. not entirely. but not so unstable that being in the same room as it long term will cause problems. even licking it the concern is less radiation and more heavy metal poisoning

if we all live long enough to see the midterms. also, the man already did a coup once, you think any of this is resolved without violence?

our last chance to get out of this with peaceful reform passed when he got elected

google, as a corporation, has been pushing us all to move a particular way for years. it’s most obvious in the YouTube recommendations algorithm which pushes right wing shit. their fonts platform just gives them more control over the entire web instead of just acting as an index.

i like… have complicated feelings on the guy. on the one hand, it’s important to congratulate him on realizing the harm his actions did and working to undo all that. on the other he did years of harm that has yet to be undone and might never be undone. and everyone only gets so much grace. i’m glad he realized all his online friends were nazis and stopped hanging out with them, but on the other it’s hard to trust the judgement of someone who hung out with nazis for years.

if he’s found guilty, they’re gonna get wilder

meanwhile i have multiple friends who moved from America to the Netherlands to get their medical issues actually treated

the debate basically comes down to “technically linux” (ie, it runs on the linux kernal like chrome os and android) and “spiritually linux” (ie, you, the end user, are the ultimate owner of the hardware and the software that runs on it). i think if we’re talking the latter chromeos belongs less than windows does. however for a stat collector this may be an impossible ask

can’t be one without being the other

emboldening the defending country? does russia not actually know how wars work? (this is a joke… kind of… i guess i’m pointing out that what they’re saying is a joke? i don’t know. fuck the orks)

upsetting widdle babby conservative feelings. they’re the most fragile people alive

think of it this way. do you want power over someone else? because i don’t. i want to live my life in peace and enjoy the company of people i love and who love me. the powerful though? they’re addicted to power. and they want to experience power during sex to enhance the feeling of their orgasm. they are at the most powerful when the person they are fucking is a child.

does that make sense?

their deal with america was the template for Ukraine’s deal with russia. if i’m Japanese i ABSOLUTELY want to be rethinking my reliance on that deal for my safety and security as russia has blatantly violated their deal for 11 years now and america now moves to help them do it

in what way? food is a social connection to culture, and meals are cultural participation. i see this and i hear that people are more isolated than they’ve ever been before, making solving our problems harder and everyone easier to manipulate

welcome to what happens when a single corporate entity owns a monopoly on a sector. it turns into extortion rackets so fast because everything is secretly just mob shit in the background

if you understand the world to be necessarily a zero sum game, you think the only way to win is eliminate everyone else at the table. these deluded fools are so certain it’s a zero sum game they can’t fathom that this isn’t our goal, too. meanwhile, the left’s proposed solution is to step away from the table. to stop playing. to distribute all the chips in the pot to everyone
