That sounds like it would require leaving the house, which I am less and less inclined to do. Hypothetically though, sure!

How will my friends know I care if I can’t lick them? (I don’t actually have any though, so it’s hypothetical)

We live in a parody.

Looks up from single player game, goes back to playing

It functions. That’s part of the issue. It’s mostly there to protect the rich and fuck the poor and minorities.

The media is almost wholly owned by the same people responsible for the policy setting. The people are propagandized into acceptance and complacency. Even the “left” in this country is in fact made up of capitalist apologists and collaborators. They installed “compatible leftists” into universities wholesale in the 60s and it hasn’t changed. Milquetoast criticism of the most egregious harm is all you can ever expect. I have no idea how to overcome 80 or so years of brainwashing the populace. I am glad I never had kids.

I’ve been on about that for about 3x as long, and roundly met with blank stares and outright denial. Once again, not at all happy about being proven correct.

I’m disabled and autistic with no work history but menial jobs that I couldn’t do for more than a year before massive burnout. I’m sure that some country somewhere would want me, right? I can play the guitar for a few minutes before my messed up hands hurt too much.

Kinda ready for the extermination camps, tbh.

Both can be true and both can be bad, like what’s so hard about this concept? One country’s shortcomings do not excuse other countries shortcomings ffs.

I remember her from WAY before being VP, and they aren’t good memories. California, late 80s, early 90s. Prosecuting sex workers, many of them trans. The Three Strikes law was the love of her life back when the Senator from Mastercard (how many remember that nickname?) was wasting Congress’ time with steroids in baseball.

Don’t forget when he helped clear homeless camps with the cops.Been garbage since he was mayor of SanFran with an equally garbage DA. Remember those days? I do. Three Strikes disproportionately harmed people of color and sex workers, especially the trans ones, by design.
