Men lust after women and women lust after men. Hating one another for that is ridiculous and denies that reality.
Women are simply more selective, but their jaws tend to drop to the floor and their gazes tend to linger into creepy lengths of time over a Hugh Jackman bod or a broad shouldered designer suit that screams high income.
Its quite sad that people can’t except one another as imperfect animals with biological baggage.
- Comment on Is There A Source For Unbiased Election Results As They Happen? 1 week ago:
Won’t stop Trump from declaring victory at noon, and have his shoving some hack, crayon transition plan at any doting media outlets that will take them, because if he can get even the most ridiculous challenge to the SCOTUS, that’s the ball game. They’ve grown far bolder at flexing their power for the wealth class than even 2000.
The question will be how much the media indulges his clear, intentional deception as the “candidate claims victory, stay tuned for further details.”

“The sword of God, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine, millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question. ‘You believe in God?’
‘No.’
BANG Dead.
‘You believe in God?’
‘Yes.’
‘You believe in my God?’
‘No.’
Bang Dead.
‘My God has a bigger dick than your God!’”

The ones we kill are the lucky ones.
We put the ones we find cute when we “develop” their land in cages, and force them to breed despite being effectively extinct solely we can gawk at them for our amusement.
We pump the ones we find delicious with laboratory hormones to make them freakishly obese, and cramp them in factory farms until they’re obese enough to kill.
The Auks and Dodos were treated kindly by the standards of our species.

Drugs are expensive. Kids, if you want to get high, steal your parents wallet and buy them yourself.

The Japanese are one of the few countries worthy of even more pity than us Americans when it comes to slaving for and being defined by their vocation.
I agree with you completely, but people who don’t play the meaningless game of career trajectory are literally shunned by family there for it.

They claim to believe in maximum freedom regardless of the societal consequences.
A classic example is imagining the only water source for a hundred miles in any direction being claimed or purchased someone. A libertarian would tell you that they should be entitled to sell that water for any price they like regardless of how many people will die as a direct consequence, and they insist one of the state’s only functions is to shoot the people that try to take the water rather than die.
If you corner one in a debate, they’ll eventually admit that the personal freedom without accompanying social responsibility is the only thing that matters, and that society probably won’t be able to function as a result, but it was worth the collapse to maximize the freedom of the individual… to be a sociopathic dick.
They’re kind of modern Republicans minus the “because supply side Jesus told me so” Schick that absolves them of moral responsibility for their antisocial opinions and positions. Libertarians don’t tend to care about the veneer of finding a reason to blame the people who got hurt by their bulldozers, “they have a bulldozer so they win lol.”
Most billionaires conduct themselves as libertarians. Cut taxes to the bone, with the sole exception being the defense/police/court system infrastructure that protects their Ill gotten dragon hoards from those they exploited it from.

- Comment on That explains it. 1 month ago:
I always find it peculiar and somewhat self-hating that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.
It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for them as they live in decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time growing gdp and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

This is probably the number one reason I’d be giddy about it.
Our species needs to learn some humility.
If they didn’t come in peace. We’re boned.
If they did, at some point they’re still going to need to use corrective action on our arrogant monkey asses.
Because all human history.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 months ago:
I think such protections have to happen BEFORE the market capitalists are able to use their immense hoards of power, that’s what capital is at scale, to capture their own governments and regulators that were supposed to act as a firewall protecting regular citizens from them, as the market capitalists have in the United States for almost half a century.
Once that happens. Good fucking luck. Greed doesn’t let go of what it acquires.

We were too conservative in our estimates. And other factors like loss of the reflectivity of our arctic regions have entered the game.
This stuff doesn’t go away on any human perceived timeframe by stopping. They’ll be able protect themselves for a couple more decades beyond us peasants, but their luxury bunkers with ironically self-sustaining agricultural sections will effectively become their tombs.
We were just smart enough to make technologies that helped us today and doomed us tomorrow, and still too bone dead stupid not to stop/drastically reduce using them upon discovering the consequences of their use.

- Comment on Most Americans have no idea how anti-worker the US supreme court has become 4 months ago:
Most Americans at this point are a product of capitalist indoctrination via privately owned for profit media propaganda, and public schools defunded and in utter ruin by capitalist captured government to cut their taxes, despite still profiting directly from a pre-literate workforce to draw from that they just want to pay for to.
“They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers.”

- Comment on CEO pay is rising faster than it has in a decade — and 3 times as fast as worker wages 4 months ago:
Overt slavery was hard, and got harder at scale.
The owners figured that out after Jim Crow fell.
Since then, they stumbled upon a solution born of modern technology.
Just propagandize your labor pool into enslaving themselves into believing it was their idea, and just as importantly, propagandize them into hating and blaming those peasants who didn’t fall for that propaganda as the reason for all their owner caused misery.

I hear you, and it’s tragic that the fight doesn’t end with taxation.
That said, capital at the level of the owners is an expression of power, power to keep the world rigged, buy governments/regulators, protect monopolies, etc.
If that money was somehow (im not holding by breath) taxed/confiscated from the world’s immoral owner class, transferred into paper currency and incinerated, it would still be a good day because the power dynamic between them the 10s of thousands and us the billions will still be measurably improved.
