I wish upon a star that we could be a generation that takes power back for the average worker and uses our strength in numbers as leverage to have a better quality of life by making the wealthy pay their fair share.

But it’s looking like our historic legacy is going to be that of a fool generation that votes against their own interests and refuses to stand up for themselves.

A very embarrassing time to be an American.

I’m tired, boss.

we are not going to make it past the Great Filter

Yeah. Most likely not. We’ve only had the ability to actually extinct ourselves for a very short period of time and we’ve already used nuclear weapons on civilian populations and threatened to use them repeatedly ever since. It’s only a matter of time.

When one flies, they all start flying. And if we don’t do it that way, we’ll simply burn up all the resources this planet provides and pollute the fuck out of our ecosystem.

I’ll hold out a glimmer of hope, just cuz everyone likes rooting for the underdog, but realistically, the human species is probably just a temporary thing in the big picture.

Nuclear proliferation is just incredibly risky

You could argue, convincingly, that it’s incredibly risky not to.

Ukraine.

They made a deal with Russia to give up their nukes in exchange for Russia never invading them. Fast forward a handful of years and Russia invades them and they have no nukes as deterrent.

We’re moving into a future where everyone is going to need nukes as a deterrent from being invaded.

Sucks, but humans are stupid, violent animals.

Well, they share a very long border with what is now an enemy. So yeah, probably.

I work on a help desk. We hired multiple Zoomers and they literally don’t understand how computers work. They don’t know what the registry is. Or what POST means. Or how to properly back up a user’s data without using automated software.

They’re fucking dumb. Nice. But dumb.

That’s fascism.

Canary in the coal mine.

Our enemies couldn’t be hurting us more or faster than this traitorous administration.

Eh.

They can SAY it’s unacceptable and someone should be held accountable.

But they won’t hold anyone with an “R” next to their name accountable at the polls. Or in any other significant way.

Yep.

Doesn’t matter though.

In their minds not voting “R” is the worst possible thing that could happen in existence. Trump could individually rape and murder all their children and they’d still show up and vote “R” because the alternative is somehow worse. They can’t explain how it’s worse, but it is, somehow.

Conservatives can express discontent, or even outrage, toward their representatives, but they have ZERO interest in holding their own accountable.

Because it’s a cult.

Poor red areas suffering the most?

Sign me up.

We’ve tried everything else. Now we get to see if they learn through pain.

If they’re American I would point out that they have no representation for their conservative views because there is no fiscally conservative party in the United States.

I wonder how big an effect this would have on conservatives if they could read.

“Get in the van, there’s candy” is also an explanation. But you probably shouldn’t believe it when a masked individual is saying it and the van is unmarked.

The vast majority of 2A enthusiasts were never brave or intelligent enough to use it the way it was always intended. As is now evident.

She expressed anti-Palestinian genocide sentiments.

In New America that gets you disappeared by masked thugs.

You have no illusions about the fact that you are defenseless?

We have guns. Lots of guns.

Everyone needs to arm themselves and train.

Yup.

If plain-clothed thugs try to push me into an unmarked van I have to assume I need to start fighting for my life. I don’t give a fuck who they say they are. If you are who you are, wear a uniform, act professional, and show me identification.

Everyone needs to purchase a firearm and start training.
