Some of these men call other men "males" as well. I used to call both genders by such "technical" terminology because I did not think it was offensive until a woman complained in a forum I frequented like 15 years ago.

TBH I feel annoyed that I can't use those terms because I know some guys use the term to intentionally dehumanize specifically women and I am not that sort of guy. But also I really tend to embrace neutral/technical/clinical language a lot because of a general disdain for romantic thinking and language.

Things are not more than what they are.

I wouldn't describe being called "unfuckable" neutral. But yeah they probably would like some level of attention, even the negative kind.

Fascists are not empowered by political apathy

Fascists are empowered by political apathy in a first past the post election system. Which we have.

And its not just tankies. You guys are an influence but you aren't the sole driver of this result of low turnout obviously.

This is something many clownishly-apolitical individuals that aren't tankies understand and still choose not to vote because they also, like tankies, think both parties are the same but for more low brow selfish small minded reasons. I live in a deeply rural area and commute to a small city and I've encountered these morons first hand in both places. Typically these are poorly educated impoverished people who feel left behind by perceived elites (not just rich people but basically any people smart enough to work low paying white collar like myself). Who don't realize they're letting things get worse for them and now will end up materially worse off and even some of them will end up dead as a result.

And in so far that a person can deserve their own misfortune, they will. Because they either know or very much ought to know what was at stake and did not give a fuck.

I actually think most tankies will be fine though. You guys are educated enough that you're probably not on average nearly as impoverished as these types. It'll just be the dipshit apolitical underclass of people who will start feeling things get noticeably worse.

Maybe it wont be too late for them to be moved by their impending suffering and react to it in a productive way but at this point I'm kind of over it. I'm ambivalent at this point.

Yes AOC, he is. We all know. Some pieces of shit Americans however earnestly did not give a fuck clearly.

I have nothing to say that's constructive but I also have nothing to do to fill the void.

The people who refused to vote also deserve it. That means most of us deserves this.

I also tried to stop it. I not only voted, I traveled hours to a purple state and canvassed. I donated. I constantly agitated at my workplace at the risk of my job.

I know they exist but they're still a minority.

At least they're probably experiencing a growth spurt though. Little bit of hopium there.

I mean, the libs are going into the camp as well. Specifically, the ones that wanted you to vote for them most likely a target. Trump's admin is clearly trying to flex their power, now that they're ignoring the rightwing Supreme Court and completely ignoring due process. Why would they want to continue to tolerate any political threats to their power at all?

Maybe you'll get to see Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders all in the Salvadoran Gulag with you. Maybe you'll even meet me there. We can all go and bitch at each other while the fascists torture us all to death.

The ones primarily saying that want to shoot liberals and leftists.

The few liberals and leftists who are pro-gun probably don't have sufficient support or power to form a militia force. Because most liberals and leftists in the US are anti-gun.

Zionist Democrats want to fine you and repress you in financial ways. They want to "tut tut" you for being anti-Semitic.

Zionist Republicans want to put you (and immigrants, and LGBT, and dissenters) in a death camp.

If Nintendo sues the Trump admin I'd have to finally side with Nintendo on a lawsuit.

You're going to be waiting until you are dead.
