Mine is “I have donkeybrains”. Not many people challenge this assertion.
Unchecked corruption and endless media propaganda leading to runaway regulatory capture resulting in an untenable concentration of wealth and power into far too few individuals and organizations.
I’m sorry we share this terrible affliction. That being said, your comment reads more of a blaming thing and I’m looking for excuses. Do you have any excuses?
Doing the right thing is perfectly easy and perfectly possible until there’s a financial incentive for it to not be easy or possible.
It all ended w hanging chads
Been watching the train wreck since
what are hanging chads? some kind of new halloween decoration?
It was how Bush stole the 2000 elections from Al Gore and set the stage for the fascist takeover of the US. It’s been series of cascading failures since then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_v._Gore
It was an issue with older ballot styles. In Florida, during the 2000 election, they were using ballots where you would use a hole punch to choose who you voted for. Sometimes, the hole punch did not fully cut the paper and the little bit (the chad) would still be attached. It could then cover up the hole, or cover a different one, so when the machine would read it, it could register as a different vote.
Like… the current state of affairs everywhere? Cause I’m not sure I can take ownership of EVERYTHING.
but buddha says we’re one with everything so technically this is your fault.
Sorry I’m an atheist, I’m only responsible for my own shit.
That was probably true back in olden times when Buddha was writing his college thesis on that, but there’s at least like 30 different people today and I’m not one of them.
My excuse is I shouldn’t be alive anyway
The more of your comments I read the more convinced I am that you are me
I wouldn’t want to curse anyone with that
The answer as always is capitalism. Literally every terrible thing happening can be linked back to the desire for profit.
hahahaha
Why would I need excuses? I’ve been trying to stop this for 20 years. Political movements, organizing, writing and sharing useful information. I don’t need excuses. If you want an explanation, I can give you my perspective, but I don’t regret not doing more. I did as much as I could and paid dearly for it.
i mean i applaud your efforts but in this organization we want results.
Oh, well in that case, Alexa play “I’m Only Human.”
This universe is a simulation and nothing matters.
Greed and stupidity.
Shits fucked
I’m preoccupied with my health and I don’t feel like I have a lot of agency to accomplish much. That’s slowly changing, maybe.
I hear that.
my life is great.
not responsible for anyone else’s choices. and sick of weirdos who try to tell me i am.
you’re in the wrong social network.
yeah no shit. this place desperately needs folks who aren’t constantly dooming and blaming the world for their personal woes.
Every time someone catches covid they lose 1 IQ point on average. Since (unless you’re vaccinated) you don’t really become immune anymore, you’re likely to lose several IQ points a year. QED.
(That said, things were already going downhill before The Great Lurgy).
wtf i caught it like 10 times. how come scrience bitches can’t make me more smarter?
