my living room is ready for guests. the only thing prohibiting entrance right now is i am blindly firing a 30.06 at my door. should i stop doing that, it will be perfectly safe to enter.

i don’t know exactly how to articulate it but like, we’re absolutely at war yet it doesn’t feel like it because the people leading it are so fucking stupid so the typical climate of seriousness is missing? if that makes sense?

OH ACTUALLY I REMEMBER WHAT WE NEED TO DO repeal the chicken tax and you basically shrink pickups down to a reasonable size LMAO because now companies have to compete with actually reasonably sized trucks

I hate basically all prohibitionism and social engineering, but we really gotta do something about the weird tragedy of the commons arms race we’re in where everybody needs an oversized SUV to be able to see over everybody else’s oversized SUV and truck. Bring back just normal fucking *cars*.

this means it is not open for transit

Idk this kinda feels like gender essentialism but woke. My big hangup with gender abolitionism is that it reduces gender to just gender roles, at which point you're just *doing* gender roles. Man is when burning shit and Woman is when empathy uwu Y'all wouldn't a convo with the median rural woman

You can always tell from a person in BC's personality whether they took French or Spanish as their language class in highschool Mis amigos auramogging the quebecois-cel respecters

The morally "correct" move right now is active resistance, but people are cowardly and lazy, which fair, same, but also too narcissistic and Main Character and Christian Brained to just admit they're part of the problem and make some degree of peace with it. Ergo "paying attention" as praxis.

I feel like the single biggest Woke 1 indicator is a strong belief in posting as praxis, especially if takes the form of scolding people for equally completely immaterial transgressions. We need way more Real World focus if we're gonna build a better world

Wild-ass midlife crisis this guy is going through

Why is global news running a story nearly every night for a month manufacturing consent for the Myles Gray killing? Is some producer’s brother a cop or something? I feel like most normal people unfortunately dont even know who Myles Gray *is*. Super jarring to have these nightly minutes of copaganda

AI bros: "Taking these military contracts is a way to make easy money!" AI bros when they find out that it makes them a military-industrial target, equivalent to a ball-bearing factory in Bavaria in 1945:

So are we gonna do Ameromaidan this year or what? Still can't believe nothing really happened all through Summer 2025 tbh

Bellingcat analysis makes a strong case that a US tomahawk hit that girl's school in Iran, contrary to U.S. government claims www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Opposition to the technocracy is rapidly becoming my highest priority in electoralism, even moreso than socdem policy I REALLY don't wanna live in a heavily surveilled country where everything is monitored and my personal life is subject to the whims of the government. I consider that a dystopia

Jesus fucking Christ get me out of the torment nexus please. Opposing this kind of shit is genuinely becoming as high priority for me as direct antifascism. We have to do something about this creeping authoritarian technocratic nightmare dystopia before it consumes us all

Total Standard Time Death. Kill Standard Time Enjoyers. Behead Standard Time Enjoyers. Roundhouse kick a Standard Time Enjoyer into the concrete. Slam dunk a Standard Time Enjoying baby into the trashcan. Crucify Standard Time Enjoyers. Launch Standard Time Enjoyers into the sun.

We need a slur for people who like standard time at this point

I like to joke but my government is currently prosecuting a heinous and immoral war for a small coalition of capitalist rape demons. It killed almost 200 schoolgirls a week ago and I don't think anyone has come to terms with that

Hot urbanism take but while suburbs as-constituted mega suck, there's a version of them that needs to exist, so that these nerds who want relatively more control over their surroundings aren't forced into urban areas to push Hitlerite social order conformist shit on the rest of us

Dawg seriously what's up with leftists turning against systemic solutions to homelessness and addiction lately? Nobody likes homeless dudes shitting on the bus ffs, but to prevent it without major systemic change would require a police state in general, which isn't fucking worth it

Leftists like to discuss systemic solutions so we tend to shy away from just calling people stupid, but IMO it's pretty clear that that insta reels/tiktok are targeted at a less intelligent audience than bsky or og twitter, which are in turn less intelligent than tumblr, reddit, or substack

Now that we're finally getting permanent Daylight Savings, I wanna be the revolutionary guard for the change. I wanna be able to [redact] the reddit-ass dorks, losers, boomers, shut-ins, and freaks who want Standard Time. I want street brawls and I want to win them. I want an anti-tank launcher.

They're saying we're the backest we've ever been, folks!

Really coming around to the idea that we need a kind of young and hot people supremacy in our politics. Boomers had this in the 50s, and then aged as society shifted into a gerontocracy over the last fifty years, so they've just been the privileged age cohort their entire lives.

We gotta resurrect Spanish anarchism style urbanism. It sucks the way cities, which will always by nature offer better lifestyles, have in this century become hornets nests of cops and petty authoritarianism and curtain twitching.

I'm a simple man, if you try to subject me to 4pm sunsets for the rest of my life, I think I should be legally allowed to hunt you for sport

If the standard time dorks and losers complaining about this manage to throw up enough FUD to interfere or fuck this up in some way it's gonna be the thing that turns me into the joker man. Forget leftism, this is gonna be the thing that pushes me over the edge.

all the umm actuallys in the replies but respectfully idgaf sunset in the 4pm hour is MEGA ass

Of course the standard time people are also the anti-alcohol people are also the noise ordinance people are also the anti-homeless people Literally everything I hate day-to-day about government is coagulating into a unified political ideology of technocratic authoritarianism by reddit-ass losers

Antisocial shut-in standard time freaks mad in the replies on bluesky and reddit while Daylight time enjoyers are busy being hot and doing things outside lmao. This is the right decision. Best quick-and-simple policy move the government has made in my lifetime 👍

Much of the creeping technocracy stems from public health as a field chronically ignoring holistic & mental health outcomes + quality of life to instead hyperfixate on narrowly defined physical health outcomes No amount of following rules lets you defeat death. Live your life to the fullest

James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics. Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.

YES!!! I'M GONNA VOTE FOR THE FUCKING NDP AGAIN OVER THIS DAWG. THIS IS MY CLOSEST THING TO A SINGLE ISSUE. I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE. THIS IS GONNA MAKE MY LIFE SPECIFICALLY SO MUCH LESS SHIT FOR FIVE MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. FUCKING FLAT +50% TO SANITY AND MENTAL HEALTH. LET'S FUCKING GO

Taiwan really should formally declare independence. Obviously I'm all in on self-determination always, but it's kinda weird to take the position that China shouldn't invade Taiwan when Taiwan *itself* considers itself to be part of China and still formally does the We're The Real China thing.

Absolute free speech when it's the state. No protection from consequences when it's people/the community punching nazis. This is the way

Is the trope about liberal white women awkwardly having chud boyfriends and husbands even true anymore? I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve seen it in the wild, and I get the vibe winemoms are more aggressive about policing the politics of their interpersonal relationships right now than *I* am

let him cook

primaries for every democrat, much much worse for every elected republican, [redacted] for the actual agents themselves

We gotta get rid of sales taxes. Let’s have all prices be bullshit and disincentivize spending for no reason while also doing regressive taxation. Actual economic and political malpractice. Just abolish them outright and raise income taxes if it becomes a problem.

I sit motionless, like a rock against the storm, with the same virtually identical political opinions I've had since like 2020, as a new and differently flavoured wave of screeching reactionary 15 year olds hyped up on some regressive bullshit yells at me on social media

I retract some of this doomer crashout tbh. Wordy Online Leftists talk and seem to think about freedom less than they did in 2020, and I think that's bad, but in actual real life the median left-leaning 20something barista is pro-gun now. That's unprecedented in the modern era and insanely based.

I swear to fucking god the single most important thing for your entire life of psychosocial development and political existence is to have a roughly gender balanced social life when you’re about 16 years old

The thing that's gonna make me a boomer in like 20 years is I think I'm always going to hate short form video as a medium for serious topics Like waow lemme watch five minutes of a dont-forget-to-like-and-subscribe-ass loser slowly narrate unsourced disinformation I could have read in five seconds

My brother in Christ it's not "ironic sexism" when you're literally talking to Donald fucking Trump, what the fuck is wrong with you 💀

The ultimate goal of my politics is maximum freedom for every person to shape their lives how they see fit I like lots of other things, and have lots of other opinions, but they're all second to that one Feels :/ to have to be arguing about this even in libertarian-lefty "progressive" spaces

Unfortunately there's a subset of urbanist lefties who seem ready to sell out their leftism, and especially their antiauthoritarianism, in the name of nice cities

I'll never forget that chart that shows no correlation between the consensus of regular people and what is actual policy and a strong correlation between what elites want and what actual policy is. We're a managed democracy and have been for some time.

To “say” something is to express, and to express requires intent. A completely and truly involuntary utterance is not philosophically or ethically different from if someone’s shoe squeaking on the floor coincidently happened to sound like language. Also jfc what a perfectly optimized Discourse Nuke
