Who didn’t realize this? Well, executives of course, some of the dumbest motherfuckers to walk the planet, possibly only beaten out by the investor class.

In 2011, everyone on the internet laughed at a little song called "Friday." But now, in 2026, more people than ever are laughing at a gore-soaked pit in the center of an arena built of jagged green stone beneath a dim star where, if there are days of the week, they are named after gods wholly alien.

Z. Hat es aus der Obdachlosigkeit in eine Wohnung geschafft. Das Jobcenter nennt das „ohne Erlaubnis umgezogen“. Z. bat das JC darum, die Miete direkt an den Vermieter zu überweisen um sicherzugehen, dass die Miete immer pünktlich raus geht. Die Antwort: „Da Sie ohne Zustimmung des JC umgezogen1/3

What if living in a burning world ruled by pedophiles on golden thrones is radicalising even if you're not a Marxist or a libertarian lone wolf? What if it's just enraging to live in this world? Across the population of millions, why wouldn't you expect increasing numbers of people to say "fuck it"?

I survived! Boo hoo, hear my sob story of my trauma. I was attending this big fascist fancy party that everyone told me not to & gave me major side-eye for. Then somebody shot at the fascist! It was horrible. I will have nightmares & flashbacks my whole life. We must address this as a society.

It’s pathetic. The guy had sued half of them for just reporting the news. And they’ve paid him. He openly demanded bribes which they paid. And now they’re like “violence? How did it come to this. People need to respect this brave man”. It’s disgusting. They’re pathetic. They’re fucking pathetic

Never forget that liberals would rather lose to fascists than work with socialists, every single time.

Demokratiearbeit austrocknen, Kürzungen im Sozialen und der Jugendhilfe, Kulturkampf, Preisschocks, Binnenkonjunktur abwürgen durch weitere Belastungen - Fast alles, was diese Bundesregierung gerade tut, ist ein Katalysator für den Faschismus. Die AfD braucht sich nur noch entspannt zurückzulehnen.

Even if you're utterly convinced that you are in the demographic that the institutions of state violence have no interest in, there is a margin of error with everything, and they *do not care if they get some calls wrong*. If you give them power and impunity it applies to you, too.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

Guten Morgen! Kein Staat hat ein Existenzrecht. Ein Staat in Form eines ethnonationalen Apartheidstaates noch viel weniger.

nichts stürzt mich so zuverlässig in ein depressives loch wie wenn jemand fragt “wo siehst du dich in 5 jahren” und eine ernsthafte antwort erwartet like bruder hast du mal rausgeguckt

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

Bitte Teilen! Menschen, die im SGB2 sind (#Bürgergeld) und ein #Ehrenamt machen werden systematisch von #Jobcenter n angeschrieben: Es wird versucht ihnen die #Ehrenamtspauschale anrechnen. Das ist gesetzeswidrig! Hilfe bekommt ihr bei @sanktionsfrei.bsky.social oder @sozi-simon.bsky.social

Still remarkable to me that half the world is doing 'unrestricted social media usage is bad for kids' and 'we need to put chatbots that tell you to kill your family in every classroom and every toy' at the same time

No one gives a shit about you dunking on inconsistent logic. Wow, you caught them out, their reasoning isn't sound. They don't care. You wasted energy making that point. They just shat it out.

Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

Still so weird to me that there hasn't been a single band picking up from when Sentenced quit.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

what the AI "bubble" really indicates is exactly how much cash money tech companies have been sitting on. just insane fortunes they can spend without any loans, leveraging, nothing. just like a wealthy man can indulge in insanity longer than a poor man, so it goes here

Uggi is not the only Hlöllabátar-loving dog. Our neighbour Jakobína stole out of her home yesterday and was found here:

in the UK it's such a threat to our national security to oppose genocide and support Palestine that you'll be thrown in jail. also in the UK they'll maybe just sack you, at a push, if you lie and coverup the fact that a high profile ambassador failed the security vetting process but otherwise, nbd

Ist das noch mein Sport-Club? Pundit meinte, der SC sei 'ruthless and efficient'.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Der Tankrabatt kostet für 2 Mon. 1,6 Mrd. €. Dafür, dass sich Öl-Konzerne bereichern, SUV-Fahrer besonders entlastet & fossile Kriege finanziert werden. Das Deutschlandticket kostet für 12 Mon. 1,5 Mrd.€. Dafür, dass 14 Mio. Menschen entlastet, Stau reduziert & fossile Unabhängigkeit gestärkt wird.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

it's a misery cult, and it hates you. your happiness is their failure.

Mainz die wohl unsympathischste Mannschaft mit dem assigsten Publikum. Wenn Manzambi kaaputtgetreten ist, war's das mit der Euroleague. Zwayer echt eine völlige Witzfigur. #FSVSCF

From what I am being told by the woman, The Sims is basically a more pervert Crusader Kings.

They really think no one can build a guillotine anymore.

It is almost, almost, impressive just how Labour have taken the massively dysfunctional and incompetent Home Office and managed by dint of policies and rhetoric to make it even more dysfunctional and incompetent. It is a true testament to how hostile they are to migrants. archive.today/07Hdr

Anytime a Sam Altman or an Elon or a Thiel talks about a "difficult economic transition", what they mean is their plan will kill millions of people to make them incrementally richer, but they'll do it via "economics" so it can never be their fault and you're not allowed to yell at them.

this is eugenicist social policy they want to teach us that we don't deserve to live unless we can be obedient and compliant and productive they know people will die they're fine with that

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

In Bariworld world, Kanye releasing a single literally called "Heil Hitler" is less antisemitic than Ms. Rachel.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

There is a level of consequences that must be brought against the billionaires and "elites" that they have bought their way out of for far too long before there can be any progress towards any state that could be considered remotely good.

Also the origin of the death penalty for Basques there: www.theguardian.com/world/2015/a...

all the pop culture fascists from Jones to Owens to Taylor-Greene are crying out loud for 25 or a military coup and the Democrats are just hemming and hawing over manners, INSANE

Correct, elite impunity is why we are here

Wer sich im Land mit dem dritthöchsten BIP der Welt überhaupt auf die „Diskussion“, ob der „Sozialstaat noch bezahlbar ist” einlässt, ist entweder ein Mietmaul reicher Arschlöcher, oder selbst eins.

Ja nee ist klar, der Bayern-Bonus existiert nicht. Das ist Schiebung. #SCFBAY
