Australia has also stopped, and I think there are a few more countries outside Europe. Right now the US economy is Wile E. Coyote after he's run off the edge of the cliff but before he realizes it...

Don't need a criminal record if your skin is any shade of brown. They'll even photoshop some gang tatts in for you!

That's where you're wrong. They'll likely send a strongly worded letter!

I think a lot of it comes from the fact that in incel spaces, it's a lot of grievance and blame by men who were raised believing the world owed them certain things. And now they're finding out that it's really hard so rather than look inward at how they can be better and work within the circumstances they're in, they blame wokeism and women's empowerment for denying them their entitlement.

Dark Brandon on youtube has been doing an awesome series on incels that's definitely worth watching. I recommend this video not just for anyone interested in incel culture, but literally anyone interested in WTF has happened to the world in the last 40 years - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBAX4Wi1iNM&list=WL&index=16

Which is even scarier. Most of us knew it was only going to get worse, and deep fakes are just going to add fuel to the dumpster fire.

It's a real worry. I watched a Rachel Maddow video on youtube recently and got several minutes in before I realised it was fake, it was very convincing. How is society going to function when none of us know what's real and what's not?

A lot of people are struggling with that realisation. My wife has always been extremely close with her 2 sisters and mother, and they all voted trump last year. She's had a very hard time with it, but she's kind of at the point now where she's severed a lot of her connection to them. She's just being polite to them at this point.

I lived there for 10 years and have a lot of fond memories of the place. It's always had its problems, but it's always been an amazing country in a lot of ways. But I got to see the Obama years and the growth of the tea party and this was always coming. I'm convinced that leaving when I did is the best decision I've ever made for myself and my family, and I really feel for all the people who are stuck there with this insane death cult.

I wish all world leaders had balls like this. Fuck trump and fuck America under trump.

I wish more world leaders would find their spines like this.

We're pretty much at the point where you can't even expect to get a job without some form of social media presence. I hate it. I used to be able to google myself and find literally nothing.

Just like Jesus would want!
