Fuck, too accurate.

If you want to protect the children get rid of the billionaires

These are not…competent people. In fact, until we get our collective shit together and start pushing back as a nation, our only hope is that they are ultimately too fucking stupid to fascism.

While they are spectacularly moronic, and predictably childish and incompetent, we need a better strategy than hoping they will defeat themselves.

But boy are they fucking dumb. It would be hilarious if actual civilization weren’t at stake.

Please boo.

Please don’t clap.

LAPD = pussy bootlickers afraid of ICE

I have only been trying to clarify your view and there is no strawman so if you see that as somehow hostile or adversarial then that is very much a problem you will carry with you after I’ve forgotten this exchange.

Peace to you.

That is very kind of you. I am a strong reader; in fact I’m not too humble to mention that I was the recipient of multiple Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizzas in my youth, as recognition for my excellent reading skills, and so it is touching for you to recognize it.

My fellow strong readers will be well aware that there are multiple ways for a country to cease existing. Some peaceful, and some violent.

As thoroughly insightful, erudite, and compellingly written as that gem of a comment was, it did not specify. And given your server, it seemed prudent to seek specifics.

Thank you for the helpful response.

It depends on if you are talking about the entity or the people in the entity.

If the former, I do not disagree. There need not be states at all in fact, as a matter of preference.

If you are talking about the people, well, it sounds like you are talking about more death and destruction so no thanks.

Yeah but only always.

You’re both right because there is no We in America.

That is the problem we must solve.

well this is the weirdest cry I’ve had in a minute

Republican Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick reacted somberly to the news of Rehmet’s victory, warning in a social media post that the result was “a wake-up call for Republicans across Texas.”

“Our voters cannot take anything for granted,” Patrick emphasized.

Totally forgotten who works for whom in this arrangement. That’s how deep the fascism is baked in.

For me it’s at work where we don’t acknowledge what’s really happening and it is starting to drive me a little mad.

I work in a very diverse workforce, but for a very old fashioned company, and politics are not spoken of.

But I am surrounded by immigrants and people who are probably here on work visas, or are just dark skinned, and I have to think they are living with a constant background fear that is steadily rising but they never talk about it and I never say anything. I have a whole cycle of shame with it.

You needn’t make my point for me again. just the once is fine.

They win because we can’t form coalitions to literally save our lives, as you are so ably demonstrating.

while 9 in 10 republicans back Trump

In a sense the only part that matters in terms of the problem we face.

The hard core might be contracting a bit, but it is hardening as a result.

“Well there’s nothing better than a fart. Except throwing piss at ICE maybe”

This is actually two fun facts for me with the first one being that there is a star called Algol.

Also I just looked up that track and it is fucking gnarly! It took me back to Jawbox. Really rad, thanks for making me aware.

Edit: Might as well pay it forward

I can’t believe it’s been left up this long. I came across it like 5 hours ago and thought I took a screenshot and then the gummy kicked in and I spent the next 4 hours going down the YouTube rabbit hole on a woodworker who bought a farm, which I am technically still in.

Anyway when I remembered and first went to post this, I realized I hadn’t actually taken the screen shot. I figured there was no way the edit was still up all this time later but sure it enough, it was and still is.
