  • This is why I'm a dog person.

    Cats bitch and moan when you disturb their routine.

    Dogs are just happy to be interacted with.

    I've seen cat owners waste half a dozen cans of food finding out what their cat is in the mood for that night. Cats just seem like another source of highly conditional affection. Might as well just go be social at that point.

  • I mean, in my perfect world the people would unite and burn the capital markets that have brought us to this place to cinder, and have a people's tribunal bring justice to the former largest stakeholders.

    That could begin to right this ship, and really nothing short of that.

    But I know they'd use their media to get us burning down each other's homes looong before we get to Wall Street, so I know we're irrevocably cooked. What do you propose that could conceivably circumvent all the soft and hard protections they've put in place?

  • The US, it bears repeating captured by our capital markets, keeps most Americans on a paycheck to paycheck knives edge for that very reason. The ones most inclined to strike are the ones that have the most to lose by striking.

    You're asking tens of millions of people to lose the roof over their heads for a very uncertain outcome.

    The sad reality is that the capitalist bastards have their bases covered. Not surprising considering their effectively limiltess capital and the generational grudge the wealth class has over the formation of unions here to begin with.

  • I keep seeing this. What is there to do?

    Commit suicide by cop capital defense force? Because that's basically what "doing something" entails.

    Any positions that could "do something" are on the Fascist's side, including the for profit news media. We are just as trapped in this capitalist web of coercion as we were before it went full fascist.

    Why do you think filthy socialists and commies like myself were telling anyone who would listen, including getting laughed off of occupy Wall Street by the people we were trying to save, I was there, that the capital markets were our doom and our end? Because they were, and here we are.

    I'm just glad their dream of this malice continuing in perpetuity truly is just a malignant dream. Climate change has something for this greedy, sociopathic civilization's ass, and the fact that we're turning our habitat against the species effectively permanently can't be bribed, black bagged, discredited, dissappeared, reframed, or any of the other dirty tricks the capitalist fascists have used to get their way and steamroll the innocent.

  • Oh I'm sorry the adults have adult things to talk about, like how that person at work was rude to you, you don't know what this acquaintance meant when they said that unimportant shit they said, and you need to get gas and pick up skim milk tomorrow. So mature!

    I'm 40 and married with a kid, and pity the adults who decided to "grow up." I make it a point to NEVER give my work life so much as a passing comment or thought the second I leave it. Life is ridiculous, nonsensical, gallows hilarious, and absurd, better to revel in that than actually be childish and play pretend it's harrumph a super serious undertaking I do declare.

  • In Republican's fever dream scenario, they'd consider splitting the nation up to be marooning 200 million people at gunpoint stranded to die standing room only on a military embargoed Puerto Rico. They'd call that perfectly fair and not mass murder.

    Get your logic out of here as to why that isn't possible.

  • I'd still go. I'd find it macabre and funny, it wouldn't make me anxious. Private plane!

    Humans like to believe a lot of stupid stuff without evidence, and feel like it becomes more true the more other people believe in the same stupid stuff.

  • I'll vote blue out of harm reduction, not out of hope.

    IF there's another real election, and IF the Neoliberals win, they'll do NOTHING to reign in the capitalists that fund the fascists because they're bribed to protect the "free market," just as the Fascists are.

    All them winning in 2028 might do is buy a little time before the Fascists are on the march the following cycle. That's why it's ignorant when people claim the only reason we're collapsing is Trump. Reagan set the table for fascism and every president since has furthered that outcome. Whether this happened in 2020,2024, 2028, this was happening.

    So vote for the Neoliberals all you want. I do it out of the starfish parable, to one delayed fascist action, it matters, but we're still in a capitalist fascist hell, and until we have something to vote or riot for that will bring the capital markets to cinder, nothing can improve. You should feel like throwing up after voting here.

  • I think what this alludes to is the reality that the time and resources to self-actualize are still largely the domain of the owner class.

    And many to most still seem to just chase a bigger hoard rather than do that.

  • Republican Fascists are the Neoliberals "esteemed opposition."

    The few leftists with power are spoiler candidates, because both parties only promote candidates on the basis of their ability to get bribe checks, and are the Neoliberals enemies.

    If you want to see the Democrat party treat a President as a threat to the nation that must be resisted at every turn, just elect President AOC. They're in a power sharing agreement with the Republicans.

  • The country gave them a supermajority and then the bar became "Well you didn't give us every seat in congress so womp womp."

    Just more bullshit. In no universe does either major party want to lose out on the health insurance confidence scheme bribe money.

    The county met them on their nearly impossible terms which a supermajority is, we met our end. they're just bullshit artists running a con just like the Republican fascists.
