The Confederacy getting large swaths of people who couldn't afford slaves to fight to protect the right to own people is a perfect illustration of how the right uses fear to get the lower classes to do evil things that only create benefits for the elite.

I'm thinking about the need for an atheist/theist alliance.

It's not about saving tax payers money. It's about putting that money in the oligarch's hands... Not the hands that actually need it.

Moved out of my sober living today. Quit my job as the manager. And I'm beginning a new chapter of my life.

Great fun when I make a point about how desperately people want to do or believe a thing and I get um actuallied with someone going "actually we don't desperately want to do or believe that thing... That's just the thing they make me do *slash* actually true cause of lore I must now explain to you."

these kids aren't Alex Jones or Steve Bannon. the dude who fired at an ICE van and shot himself was not engaged in a cunning long term political gambit. The term "non-political" here means their motivation was not in furtherance of some sort of cohesive partisan project. they did it for the lulz.

Also Jesus Fucking christ I shouldn't have to explain the entirety of existence to you just so you get enough context to understand the situation. The baseline context you should have is either you think I'm a Fucking idiot or not. And if it's not... Then just take leaps of faith with my pov.

I tried to have a conversation with people today and they tried to explain people's bad behavior to me and I quickly remembered why I don't talk about personal stuff with anyone. Also stop labeling everyone autistic. I feel like we are trying to literally explain away all assholes in society.

Yep, this is exactly what I'd have expected. Great article from Ken.

I bought these shower shoes about 4 years ago when I was about to go into rehab. I've been wearing them when I shower where I live since then. This is the last time I'm going to wear them. I move tomorrow and after this shower they are going into the trash.

Don't we need more jobs if we have more people? I don't understand how more people means less jobs? Like how are immigrants taking jobs but not making the economy need more workers as we have more consumers?

Trans people are 5 times less likely to be a mass shooter than a cis/het/white man...

Compassion is like waves in the ocean... It ebbs and flows... But it is relentless and never ending. I'll always be here. I'll always be fighting for those that have the least I'm relentless.

By the way I finally deleted my Twitter.

Humility isn't ignoring your value and accomplishment.

Nazis made moderates and centrists weapons in their quest to cleanse society by making it inconvenient for them to simply be kind to those the goose steppers wanted to eliminate... Passivity is a vital tool to any genocide

Trump pushes unproven link between autism and Tylenol in hopes you forget about the proven link between him and sex criminal Epstein.

The Irish are the best people on the planet. They were oppressed and Fucked with and they responded with "never again inlcudes everyone."

So now Trump is pro Ukraine? What the Fuck is going on.

Fascism is usually centered around the idea of a chosen one... A savior.

It has been 1,184 days since I moved into my sober living. My last day is Thursday. In those 1,184 days, I took care of all my legal issues, I got my license back after almost 15 years, I bought a car, I started school, and I'm going to CSUF in January.

Are we left behind yet?

Education makes it so I can explain why you are a Nazi.

Yep

I am largely enjoying my existence more doing less social media. Though sometimes I wonder where I am supposed to shove my complaints about people.

That's pretty disgusting. Deplorable, even.

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

My problem with everything is that I know For A Fact that the purpose of life is frivolity. It is to fool around & pursue joy.

Just got me. No one to really talk to. Gotta stay positive. No one wants to hear my sadness. You got this... Coping skills. You got this. A lot of my coping skills i find just keep me present now. Which makes it hard to locate sleep when I'm like this. But PRESENT is better than lots of other stuff

pictured is gavin newsom ransacking someone's shit. in the upper left corner, in a white shirt, is a former war correspondent who is now the governor's "director of photography", for which the state of california pays $200,000 per year.

THIS is a level of INSANE I cannot put words to. These Dems are gonna beg Black women to organize and turn out Dem voters for them in 2026. And all that’s going to linger is the bitterness that they voted to praise and honor a RACIST who hated Black women above all others. I am utterly bereft.

LBJ also had a huge cock.

When so much bad is going on who should care much at all that I'm so sad.

A fun crumbling into depression and loss of self worth sometimes is something that I have to battle. I know it's just my brain. It isn't real. But it really hurts though.

Well I thought I looked good tonight. But I have no idea.

“Curtis Evans stood directly in front of the gate with an American flag. The 65-year-old Evanston resident heard about the first protest on social media and came to represent “the ideals that our country stands for.” “None of us have ever done this before,” he said…

Listened to the Behind The Bastards on Napoleon III and it's kinda Trump. Incompetent idiot who does whatever people who praise him say. @iwriteok.bsky.social

Guy ignored his yield and honked at me. At the meter I rolled down my window and said "dude you have a yield" he tried to argue and I went "you use this off ramp often?" he said yeah and i went "next time pay attention and then tweet an apology" and i hit the gas. Haha

How I face anxiety. I do the things that scare me the most. What ends anxiety about doing the thing? Doing the thing. I'm someone that has a long history of panic and anxiety attacks. But this is what I do now.

Andor gets it.

I am seriously thinking about completely scrubbing myself from the internet.

Is if funny to listen to professors talk about things but discuss things that don't really relate anymore. My professor keeps talking about Crack Cocaine, when that's not really popular much at all anymore.

Being inundated on all sides by degrees of nonsense. My gas tank of patience is running low.

I said some things are immutable. This guy said. Nothing is immutable. And I went... "beating your wife? Cool... Starving you kids? Neat bro. Can't wait to debate the merits of those things." and he blocked me. Fun fact. His point was that healthy debate is vital. You know why we were discussing it

When someone says "if you love immigrants so much why don't you take them in." respond with "if you don't want to participate in society and live by the agreements we made thousands of years ago when we started banding together... to help eachother. Go live in the woods and extricate you from us."

Whose motives should we be more worried about? An assassin's? Or those in our society who wish to broaden the divide?

Fun to watch the first The Fast and the Furious and them constantly talking about RACE WARS and I told my friend "just listening to them obsessing about Race Wars kinda hits different 30 years later."

They started calling me Grant Blood... things are weird at work.

When I say faggot when people think I am straight... the reactions I get are fun...
