As a middle kid, I like to say that my older brother was the rough draft, I was the intended product, and my younger brother was the sad leftovers 😁

Got mental illness from my mom's side, short legs and heart disease from my dad's.

The doctor delivering me:

Careful, Cassandra..

Here he and Jeffries are now:

If unlimited corporate corruption of the political process is speech, so is planting some corn at the demagogue receptacle.

Huge swathes of the internet being shut down via overzealous copyright enforcement isn't entropy.

Like everything else that's killing or at the very least making worse all the best qualities of the internet, it's enshittification to maximize profits and corporate ownership of every aspect of life they can possibly get their greedily grasping hands on.

The 30s of which century, though?

That has as much of a chance of passing as a bill defunding the military. Pure posturing again.

In fact, I downloaded a Rimac Nevera just yesterday.

For Cyberpunk 2077, but still. Would, could, did.

They're very obviously foxes, so it's not like they're trying to hide

Ignoring the most likely scenario: that they're just not GOOD at pretending to be human, what with the nonhaving of thumbs, lack of experience etc..

China looks like the reasonable ones. They are the reasonable ones.

Relatively speaking only. Responding to tariffs that hurt consumers in both countries with more tariffs so consumers of both countries hurt WORSE is not a solution.

Especially not when the adversary you're trying to convince is a malignant narcissist fascist billionaire who doesn't give a shit about regular people.

The only way to win for the governments and people of China and all other countries is to stop trading with the US as much as possible. An outright trade embargo would be a good idea for once.

First amendment means less than nothing to these fascists, honesty means less than the first amendment to them, and the lives of people who are against genocide means less to them than honesty.

We're already 3-5 groups of people into the "first they came for" poem and STILL there's not one of them seeing consequences for their crimes against humanity 🤬

Context for those too young, drunk, or high to remember 2010:

Of that, the organisation says, “542 (81.6%) incidents were closed without a criminal investigation, with “just 41 incidents (6%)” leading to a criminal investigation.

How much do you wanna bet that the number of actual convictions is in the single digits and that the majority of even THOSE only received a proverbial slap on the wrist in form of a fine and/or suspension?

Yes.

If they don't see it coming, so much the better.

No, we kinda NEED the media and the world to know and pay attention

This isn't a popularity contest, it's an existential struggle.

That's just it, though, it's both: in terms of raw violent power, we have 0 chance of beating the government that controls the most powerful military in the world and who most cops are not just professionally, but also ideologically on the side of.

The only way to topple a government apparatus that powerful is to make it so hated as to be untenable.

That doesn't happen until the atrocities they commit are undeniable in both cruelty and scope, and if a lack of media coverage minimizes the scope, that breaking point may never come.

The complicit billionaire-owned media KNOWS this, which is WHY they're systematically doing so.

So far..

Actually first they came for LGBTQ+ people and scientists studying controversial subject matter, but the guy who wrote the poem was a conservative Catholic priest, so he didn't mind.
