I don’t think Fred would be capable of that.

He’d be telling anyone who would listen that mistakes are just a part of learning, even as our tortured Earth starts making the very air we all breathe make the last humans lungs burn.

That’s why I certainly praise Fred, but could never subscribe to him. He had an unshakable conviction in the intrinsic decency of people. I’ve come to have conviction that the opposite is more often true.

Honestly, I’m glad he’s not here to see this.

If you don’t love me at my nerdiest, you don’t deserve me at my I get off eating my partner out.

As long as both sexes see one another as vectors of acquisition (what do I get?!) and not people to connect with, it’ll keep getting worse.

I’m of the opinion that it, like most core social constructs in modernity, have been poisoned by capitalism and the glorification of avarice that comes with it, when those infected with avarice should have their society pelting rotten produce at them. A romantic partnership is supposed to be a commune of love and cooperation, not a good girl “marrying up,” not a good boy acquiring a “trophy.”

As long as we keep looking at each other through the prism of material gain and ambition and greed instead of love and intimate connection, few will be happy, whether alone or in a business partnership with a spouse that’s abandoned the millisecond “for worse” aka life inevitably arrives.

Dems are a far right party that only look centrist if you squint looking at them from inside fascist crazy town.

To basically anyone in the developed world, of which we are not, Luigi murdered a mass murderer, to any fascist or neoliberal here, we have to let murderers for profit let the free market decide who gets life saving healthcare, as just 1 of innumerable examples.

Neoliberals don’t squee like little girls at the hello kitty store when people suffer and die needlessly when it facilitates private profit as the Fascists do, but they don’t see it as the social fabric betrayal and atrocity it is either. “free market forces, mr dying homeless person, but I support your right to die in the gutter of hunger and exposure as any identity you choose!” Because it’s free to, but people need their basic survival met first, and that takes resources that go to them and not the robber barons that pay off both parties.

I phone banked for him on his 2 most possible runs. He’s way too old. AOC is the only half decent insider option in all of DC now.

After a lifetime of voting for the lesser evil to make the ship sink a little slower, voting blue from Kerry to Harris in the general after primarying for the most leftwing candidate available, and feeling dirty every time, either they can give me a candidate that isn’t actively choking as they fellate oligarch dick, or I’ll watch it all burn from home.

MTG is far more welcome in her party than AOC is in hers.

The neoliberal DNC sees the Republicans as their esteemed opposition, as they are on the same take and have the same orders on Economic policy. They see spoilers like AOC, who are not on the corpo bribe train and for profound economic policy changes, as their enemy.

The Democrats, almost all of them save a couple of spoilers, aren’t the fascists themselves, but they’ve spent the last half century enabling the fascists. The Democrats don’t care about entire industries of confidence schemes murdering Americans like our deathcare industry, they don’t care about poor kids getting a good education, and they dont care about millions of our most betrayed neighbors dying in the streets. As the bad cop Fascists brag about how much they love the schaudenfreude of the pain those people are in, the good cop neoliberals shrug “free market forces, sorry! But I do affirm your identity, homeless dying/lifesaving healthcare denied person!”

That’s why there really isn’t hope until we collapse, hopefully by our hands in revolution and not by oligarch made climate change in a couple decades. Best, best, best, best case scenario, we have a real election in 3. 5 years and the Neoliberals gain power, do NOTHING to reign in the oligarchs, income inequity, or our sociopathic, murderous capital markets as they’re gleefully paid not to do. Fascism is the takeover of the state to serve big capital’s need for ever moar, and so the table will remain set to go back on the fascist march in just another 4 years.

These are the same fucknuts who dream that once all the “illegals” are gone, their innumerable American neighbor enemies, too many to list but all the groups that aren’t almost exclusively white, fake Christian, conservative, and pro capitalism exploitation will be forced to harvest their dinner in the fields for minimum wage or less for 12 hour days as they laugh in victory and mock our sunburn.

Won’t ever happen, but it’s what they believe is their endgame. In truth, a lot of farms will go under and a new great depression they have to suffer too will occur. But it’ll be our faults for refusing to work under the conditions undocumented migrants were invited to do under the lie big corpo pushed for psuedoslave labor that their children would have better opportunities as a result.

To me, a silver lining of this national collapse is that we’ll no longer be able to dupe swaths of desperate people in bad situations with drug gangs into coming here only to end up in another kind of bad situation with robber baron gangs.

This goes a long with some of the other silver linings of the world no longer being subject to our soft power bullshit propaganda machine. Bullshit, our number 1 international export, followed by tools of mass human murder, aren’t you proud? The world should have kicked us to the curb for our actions decades ago. We’ve been toxic since the Red Scare, and a straight up global poison since Reagan.

We have no leftwing party in the United States

I phone banked for Sanders on 2 campaigns.

I don’t see Neoliberals or Fascists as winning, just different degrees of losing.

I no longer have the slightest hope of ever “winning” a prosocial government here. We’re too oligarch captured.

I talk and comment to maintain my sanity in an insane capitalist hellscape I lack the power to change.

You say that as if there is any hope under them.

There is not. Best, best, best, best, best case scenario, the Neoliberals take back the white house on four years, but will do nothing to reign in our oligarch capitalists, leaving the table set for fascist takeover again in 4 years.

If you have any hope that doesn’t begin with painful collapse, you’re deluding yourself. The most likely outcome of all this is a couple decades of fascist control until climate change, that thing still going unchecked were only beginning to feel, takes civilization behind the shed and does what needs to be done.

At this point im kind of grateful climate change is beating all models and projections, because the thought of generations being born into this greed prison hell, born to suffer for a few sociopath families, that would be worse.

I always say neoliberals will affirm your identity and support your right to be who you are!.. As you die in the gutter of exposure and capital defense force brutality. Sorry, free market forces! 🤷

You can’t eat pride ribbons. You can’t live in pride ribbons. A neoliberal is better than a scapegoating fascist, but so is an empty soda can. Neoliberals are also equally as effective as an empty soda can in opposing fascism, the inevitable outcome of capitalism when left to run amok instead of straightjacketed to serve society as it must be.

Without people like you claiming our two corrupted, coconspiring parties shouting that they’re the only choices, we could have a real choice.

Surely you see how it’s in the best interests of the DNC and the RNC to declare themselves the only rational options, but still, sometimes they lose. AOC is a good example of this in a primary, they still despise her for “stealing” that neoliberals seat, and Sanders is another as an independent.

Republicans/Democrats are only as inevitable as we believe they are, and some people under their thumb sure to enjoy trapping others under said thumb. With either of those parties in charge, we are not free. This is theater, a game they cooperatively play against us while taking the same bribes from the same oligarchs and driving social wedges between us to keep us too hateful unite against the economy they both protect from us. The supposed democratic equivalent of “you can have any color you want as long as it’s black.”

Things will continue to decline until their political duopoly ends, or we collapse by their hands which is looking sooner rather than later. We sink a little slower under Democrats because pointless ribbons don’t destroy the social fabric as scapegoating does, but we’re still sinking under either.

People like you keep the RNC DNC power sharing effective dictatorship scheme going.

"You can vote for all the pointless affirmation ribbons(D) and/or cruel scapegoating® you want, so long as you vote for soul crushing capitalist metastasis, for profit mass murder confidence schemes including our entire healthcare system, mass homelessness, and perverse levels of economic inequality(D&R) at all cost.

Freedom!"

The Trump base will blame Obama/Biden/Clinton, I guarantee it.

It must be so freeing to live a life more divorced from logic or reality than an indoor dog.

Maybe eliminating natural selection was a mistake.

At least we never went socialist.

That will provide me a lot of comfort when the Fascists brutally murder me and my family for our dissent. At least they weren’t filthy socialists that tried to feed, cloth, or house anyone without condition. What a nightmare hellscape that would have been.

Fuck that, if I could wave a magic wand and suffocate a future President in their crib, it would be Ronnie, not Donnie.

Without what Reagan did to our culture, politics, and economy, we wouldnt have had a population ignorant enough to elect Trump once, let alone twice.

Turns out starving public education and allowing big corpo to call any self-serving lie “news” without regulation makes one nation under duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Without investing in education, a nation has only failure and collapse to look forward do.

Reagan/Welch destroyed the United States irrevocably.

Trump/Elon are just vultures picking its well rotted corpse clean.

Trump is a just big dumb animal who has been using his wealth to leverage confidence schemes his whole life, and used his instincts as a grifter to steal the Republican base from the old guard Republicans. He really doesn’t deserve as much credit as he gets. It was Reagan that furthered the Welch corpo vision of paying off both major parties, and convincing the peasants to vote against their own interests with the promise(aka lie to the suckers they see as less than human) of golden showers of prosperity into today. This was happening with or without Donnie. If anything we can see more of what’s going on than establishment, old money conservatives would have allowed because Trump is a big, dumb, loud animal.

This country wasn’t over as of last November. This country was over as of November 1979.

What is needed is mass acceptance of that, and for smaller nations to emerge. Let the Science/reason/empathy have some land and build a nation, and let hatred/bigotry/willful ignorance/religion have some land and build a nation.

I think we all know who’ll be eating and who’ll be declaring war on the smarties to steal their food in a decade or two.

You’re just satisfied with society abandoning its worst off as the visible reminder of what a shithole of a society we have. You have a lot of company since the owner class gutted public education to complete ruin over decades though.

There is no “or” though. There is no world where the homeless punches themselves in the face or hides themselves from your eyeline for your amusement because there’s no point in appeasing the legion of sociopaths for profit “news” media has made like you in exchange for nothing. They’d rather eat with that panhandling money, and they’re right, sorry.

Your capitalist enablers and sycophants will destroy you if you give them a centimeter, with a shit eating grin, even if they burn with you.

“YOU can live large… just fuck over your neighbors. I heard they hate you. Why don’t you hate them?”

Its pathetic how many millions have suffered and died, how many governments have betrayed their own people, to some derivation of the above.

The US resolutely chose die alone with the Reagan/Welch con job and it has doomed us. Please continue to choose live together. Vote for a society that supports one another from the worst off upward.
