Mood AF. I hate feeling this way, but I almost feel things need to get worse before they get better.

I won't actively work towards that, and I'll work to make my community and city a better place in the midst of that. But I think humanity will only change when things are really drastic.

Yes. I absolutely believe this too. If there is a multiverse, it's not so much about us switching realities but differences reconciling and merging.

Genuinely. I don't understand how this wasn't a thing already. But Valve working on Lepton hopefully accomplishes this goal!

Please, weaponize this! I know the last place you want to go is a Fox News comment section or FB posts but these people need to see how they will be personally affected too.

Weaponize the cuts to social security and medicare as much as you can. Yes, lots of conservatives are a lot cause. But I'm not asking you to reach them on the moral issues, I'm asking to get them rightfully scared of losing social security and medicare/medicaid. Make it personal.

When they don't also deepthroat Netflix after they banned password sharing. All the optimistic people, me included, said "oh this will make a huge dent in Netflix what a stupid move." But they read the room like a hawk.

People swallowed the hook and signed up in huge numbers. https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-password-sharing-crackdown-worked-how-to-increase-subscription-streaming-2024-1

The West has created the perfect neutered, obedient consumers who will drink whatever coolade they are given. Until we have enough people who are willing to challenge convenience and stop bowing at the altar of comfort, we will have no meaningful change.

This is how it always goes. Governments, companies, organizations take something and then when complains ring out, they bring back a gutted, hollow version of whatever was before. It's all the more ironic when the previous thing was already soulless and hollow (Obamacare vs universal healthcare) but apparently even that previous condition was too good for the poors to have.

The worst part is people are so conditioned to it. They will gladly accept the new, "improved" version just because it's better than nothing. And once more, the rich fuck us over and laugh while doing it; while the working class just sits there unable to imagine a better world or better situation.

The cop does cop things. Wow. So surprising.

Ahh yes... The very free and fair 2028 elections we'll being having. The Republicans definitely won't try every trick in the book to manipulate them or stop them outright. Nevermind establishment Dems fucking over primaries to shoehorn in their milquetoast candidates, while fucking over actual progressives!

I am so looking forward to voting our way out of fascism/ a dictatorship, as has absolutely been exhibited to work multiple times through history.

Fucking disgusting.

That's not even funny. Exposing yourself to kids is... Not right.

That's the pun. It's intentional

Blaming Millennial and Gen Z conservatives on Gen X alone is wild. How about we focus on the billionaire propaganda machines of social media and mainstream news. Zuckerberg is a millennial and his platforms have done more damage to teenage brains than we realize yet.

Absolutely critique people and people groups when they deserve it, but this whole generational obsession is exactly what those fucking us over want. Any place to blame but on them is good for them.

Hey look guys! It's opposing genocide! So radical

Bro responded so forcefully, their dialogue broke from the confines of their plane and therefore the dialogue box. Their very comment is metatextual. They arr the one.

Tumblr was also caused by the nanny state behavior of Verizon when they bought it.

Let's see: There's them saying ICE will be at polling stations, there's the SAVE act, there's the war in Iran which Trump believes can stop elections, there's always the classic Insurrection Act and Martial Law, there's them claiming 2020 was stolen and therefore federalizing the election process. And then the redistricting, ending Mail In Voting, gerrymandering, threats, Dominion voting machines now being owned by a MAGA former election official.

All of that and people still think we're having free elections?

I hate to be the one to tell you this. If you mostly agree with a fascist, maybe that's a sign of something. And yes, shaming fascists is in fact, a good thing.

What the fuck are you on about??? Where did they defend billionaires?

I weep every night for those poor billionaires. Those corpos and their immense struggle. But as a lowly poor I could never understand the depth and wrought of their suffering.

Never put it past the worst people and the most unhealthy people to live the damn longest because that's the universe's sick humor. Not always, but enough that it gets annoying.

God not tankie shit on .world. Here's this really cool idea: you don't need to look up to Stalin to be critical of the US. You don't need to support any superpowers actually... No one is making you
