still counts, if it was filled with pureed fish guts.

hey, speaking as someone whose democracy was absolutely murdered in silicon valley:

ban conservative and algorithm driven profit-motivated media, social and otherwise. this may include youtube. ban large language models and their outputs. this is the chief tool of fascists used to create their propaganda and murder the concept of truth. make your (great?) grandfather proud; kill some fucking nazis wherever they poke their vile heads up.

I genuinely believe that if we had done this, we would be... still fucked, but fucked by neoliberals, who leave a wad of cash on the bed rather than stabbing us so they can cum. please don't repeat our mistakes. maybe also fortify your southern border. sorry.

I concur; we need more of this new breed of aggressively strange RPG's, like earthbound/mother, planescape:torment, and morrowind.

I call bullshit; christianity hasn't been a real thing since its final resurgance which ended during the siege of munster. john brown at the lastest, and that was still calvinism.

edit: wait, shit, tubman was also a christian fanatic, but she had massive head trauma, so I think she can be counted as an outlier.

oh my god im sick of this 'the democratic party cannot fail, only be failed' bullshit. I remember the 2000 election, where these chucklefucks, the same leadership we had in 2024, literally the same people in charge, handed over a presidency that they won because the fascists threw a fit. my life was largely defined by the consequences of the democratic party's abdication to fascists that election. I cannot forgive them for that, if nothing else.

and I'm not confident, given some of the comments musk's son has let slip and the years of always-confessional fascist whinging about election interference, that people DIDN'T properly vote for the absolute piece of shit the dems tried to run, again. that americans weren't just that cucked.

the fact they were willing to ratfuck the candidates the american people wanted, time and time again, since god damn world war two, suggests that these assholes are more willing to risk fascism by putting incompetent figureheads in charge than deal with moderate center left reformers-from henry wallace to bernard sanders-suggests they would not have fought for us, just like they didn't really fight for us from 2020-2024. these were not our people in washington, and expecting our slavish devotion was insulting when they gave us nothing in return, largely letting the fascists run free. maybe, if donald trump was such a threat, and he was, and open fascism was such a huge fucking deal, which it is, they should have run somebody with at better chance of winning an election, nodded to things that energized americans, or played hard ball during the campaign?

I do remember the campaign, by the way. I have the curse of all lefties everywhere; I can remember thirty or more seconds into the past. I remember them pulling back on winning strategies like 'hey these guys are weird deranged little freaks' and 'this fascism thing doesn't sound very nice' because presumably they were more concerned with their ability to be weird little freaks once they took charge, and their ability to do fascism-lite once they were in charge, than with making sure the real thing didn't happen. and maybe that's why they didn't lock trump up when they had control. maybe that's why they didn't cover the white house lawn in gallows on january7. maybe that's why they wouldn't have fought an election result like 2000, if it had occurred, and let the fascists just have the win if it came to that. again. they certainly didn't contest a very very shady election.

cut the shit. the democratic party is done. it's over. they will not resist, because they don't want to, because they would rather side with fascists than the most mild social reformers, the most mild corporate regulator not-quite-communists, the most mild prison abolitionist not-quite-anarchists. they were never going to resist.

move the fuck on. do something real rather than spending your time trying to blame the failures of your duplicitous masters on the people you think should be your natural allies. they didn't even fail to stand up for us; they never tried, and your defense of the democratic party is genuinely offensive. maybe try joining us. go outside, cook some food for your community, talk to people, start a gun club.

make sure you get paid up front, dude. these people do not keep their promises. money is also a promise. don't trust that shit either. the moment you outlive your usefulness; you're out.

it's not even dim witted anymore.

not that they aren't, but the function here isn't stupidity, it's solipsism, entered into by an inability to cope with the complex horrors of the world and ravenous hunger for easy answers that could be called stupidity. these ex-people do not give a shit about material reality. if something material harms them, they will think up excuses in their fantasy world for that harm to have occurred, that do not run counter to, or at least do not disrupt, it's internal logics. they are effectively dead, living in their afterlife, we're just stuck here with their meat, and them infringing on our reality. they are in a very real sense invaders from another world. not one that truly exists, but invaders from there all the same.

that's so cool! yeah, fuck them if they want to try to play both sides here. they want to bow, they can suffer the king's horrible policies.

ownership is theft, comrade.

real leftists try to control the means of production to make guns, which is cheaper now than ever if you don't care about quality.

I'd rather they report nothing. I'm for global thermonuclear annihilation if that's the only way to make this happen.
