I’m going to tell people to do more than just vote, and to not think voting alone is adequate.
It’s not a hard concept. We are fighting honest to goodness, full-blown fascism now. No joke, no hyperbole. Of course you should still vote, but you also need to know that voting is no longer enough. It was always the bare minimum, and now we need to do more than that, because they will not give up power to the vote.
And yes, many end up trashed just because of this.
Because of cleaning them?
e: oh, you mean because of the vinegar?
Sorry? I misunderstood. I don’t think heating vinegar a couple of times a year causes issues, right? Otherwise there should be warnings against German takeout?
It feels like vinegar in food would be more common than a few times heating a cup of it, right?
I think most people do this pretty rarely – or is that actually enough? I’m really curious now.
Yeah, because when we think of the military, ‘politically correct’ is what comes to mind. 🙄
Just admit what you mean, you fascists. You want war, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. Drop the fucking pretense. Your followers are going mask-off, anyhow. You won’t lost supporters.
We knew all of this in 2024, and people couldn’t be bothered to stop it. Now they have full control, and certainly enough to either stop elections from happening or to rig it.
If you think full-blown fascists will allow a democratic process to take their power when they’ve already seized all the levers of government and can stop us, you’re mistaken. That’s why it was so important to prevent it when we had the chance.
It’s too late. The only way to stop it now will be to take it from them by force. Literally all of history shows that.
Unfortunately, the will to do that won’t exist until they’ve already committed the atrocities they’ve been planning.
e: he got away with an attempted insurrection the last time he lost. No way he won’t dial that up to 11 next time. Why wouldn’t he, and preemptively? And why won’t he get away with far worse?
The UX of this makes me want to take it behind the barn and shoot it. Aside from all the technical failure, I get the feeling this is the project they’ve been putting their employees on for punishment for their transgressions.
God is not about forgiveness and such in the New Testament. That’s a retcon by later Christians to make it more palatable.
He preached violence:
Matthew 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
He was just as happy to send people to hell:
Matthew 13:41-42: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Every single horrible decree in the Old Testament still applies in the new (despite modern Christians trying to redefine what ‘fulfil’ means):
Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
That’s last one includes all the slavery, rape, genocide, etc. Jesus could have spoken out against those things, but instead he said all those judgements were just and should be continued.
Matthew 10:21: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Pretty violent, and not very loving.
And let’s not forget the revelations, in which Jesus will doom billions of people to a horrific existence followed by eternal hellfire, not for doing wrong things, but merely for not being devoted to him. Even the devout and righteous of other religions, and even babies who haven’t had the chance to sin.
Remember, Jesus is the same god as in the Old Testament – if god is eternal and unchanging (which the Bible says he is), he is literally the same entity who committed atrocities before he decided to wear human skin and sacrifice himself to himself.
Same thing with autism and many other things. Everyone ‘conformed’ back when we either forced conformity, ignored, or suppressed differences.
‘We never saw x back in the day.’ Yeah, dumbass, you didn’t see it because everyone was scared to be themselves.
They just want everyone back in the closet so they won’t be mildly uncomfortable by having to witness something different from themselves.
We must all be white christian men (or subservient women). Nothing else is acceptable. No minorities, no other identities or beliefs, no neurodivergence. Everyone must conform or their precious feelings might be hurt.
Not only liberals vote shame. It won’t be long before we get the chance to try to relegate the fascist to the back seat for a while again, and some of us have kids.
Some of us can afford to have different strategies throughout the cycle, and right now I’d like people to understand the landscape that’s being created .

No, obviously.
