Suffering is a virtue in the good ol’ US of A.

Everyone can die, will die, or have been dead.

There’s a dog that needs petting and that’s my priority.

To allow an extremely small percentage of people live like royalty.

Duh.

Be careful not to use the Nazis as an analogy or some basement dweller will scream “YOU THINK CONSERVATIVES ARE THE SAME AS NAZIS??? GO TOUCH GRASS!!!”
1. It’s an analogy.
2. Act like a fascist, you are a fascist. I’m not making conservatives run the fascist playbook. That’s their choice.
Are MAGAts Nazis? No. Were Nazis fascists? Yes. Are MAGAts fascists? Yes. Because words have definitions and MAGAT’s actions match the definition of the word “fascist”.

These aren’t people we’re disagreeing politically with in regards to where tax payer money should go or even how much we should be taxed or whether this regulation or that regulation is good or bad. These are people threatening us and actively degrading the quality of our lives. They are our enemies because that’s what enemies do to you. They are enemies of democracy. They are enemies of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Yeah, no one looking to be taken seriously would argue that you shouldn’t have taken Hitler out if you had the opportunity.

I’d take the opportunity and I’d sleep soundly that night.

Here you go.

T-Shirts now too!!!

The timer keeps saying it’s available until the next day. Every day. So I don’t think you need to purchase it today as it just keeps resetting. Assuming it’s just a grifter tactic to convince people to order instead of second guessing.

We should make up for it by stripping all of his shitstain children of our tax dollars he’s stolen and redirect that cash to social programs.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if the next President, said I want that ballroom destroyed and the White House put back like it was, and I want to use all Union members? And done in Six months?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Depends.

Are they Democrat?

If so then the Supreme Court would make something up to stop them.

But if they were smart they’d just do it anyway since that’s what this president is doing. Ignore the courts and do it anyway. If your enemy doesn’t play by the rules and you do, you have lost.

Like half of Reddit is manga/anime now. I don’t think half of GenZ has seen a live action movie.

If these motherfuckers couldn’t understand what a tariff was and who ultimately pays for it, I don’t think they can grasp the concept of satire.

We’re talking about one of the dumbest groups of people to ever exist in human history.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
AI and people using it to make memes are not the real enemy.

The real enemy are the assholes using it for actual nefarious and greedy purposes. Using it to make memes doesn’t fall into the nefarious or greedy categories.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Who cares? It’s a meme. You look at it for a few seconds and never think about it again.

Why spend time with an editing tool for something that gives people a quick laugh and makes you zero revenue?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Right? Maybe they should use AI.

You could have done this in paint.net inside 20 minutes.

So you’re admitting it’s no work of art that should require lots of time and effort to create?

So why not use AI? Clearly you believe memes are something that should be cheap, easy, and quick to do. I agree. Why waste valuable time making a meme? Memes should be relatively low effort jokes. So why not use AI? It’s one of the least harmful ways to use AI.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Look.

The thing about a new technology is that once it exists, it never un-exists.

AI is here. It’s never going away. Ever.

There are all sorts of actual concerning issues about AI that need to be taken extremely seriously. Personally, I could care less if it gets used to generate memes. It’s not like memes are meant to look like actual, real situations that could trick people into thinking something that didn’t happen did or vice versa. It’s clearly for a laugh. It’s not putting “meme artists” out of business because there is no industry for memes where people are putting their memes in meme galleries that people buy tickets to.

Getting mad over AI generated memes specifically just seems like a waste of energy. Like you’re trying to find something to be mad about.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dog Love⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s fascism. It starts out insane and then just gets crazier from there.

These are people that shouldn’t be operating a hot dog stand, but the dumbest among us elected a felon rapist conman and these are the people he identifies with, so that’s who gets to run the show.

You can thank our dipshit conservatives and the dipshits that didn’t vote.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dog Love⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Right?

I’m constantly amazed how many foreigners are aware of what’s going on in US politics and even details about how our government works.
1. It shows how much our shitty politics affect the world. I’m sorry.
2. It highlights how bad Americans are at paying attention and doing their homework because most Americans have no fucking clue what’s going on or how their own government works.
To be fair, I’m barely aware of what’s going on in other nation’s politics, but that’s largely because I’m hyper aware of what’s going on in U.S. politics and, unfortunately, that takes up a lot of my time and patience and sanity.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dog Love⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s easy to forget about traitors like Kristi Noem once they’re out of the spotlight. Hopefully this country doesn’t forget to dispense justice to that particular traitor when this is all over. Same goes for traitor Greg Bovino.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Step 1: Have money.

Step 2: Rape children (and adults).

Step 3: Put an “R” next to your name.

Congrats, you are now immune from consequences.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the Democrats regain power, their centrist leadership will claim, "We can't do anything because...". Don't be fooled. We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The fuck are you talking about? Political party reform is totally possible and has happened multiple times throughout American history. Conservatives just did it in the worst way possible to the Republican party. Positive political party reform is how the wealthy used to be taxed out their assholes back when America’s middle class was strong.

Democrats are fascist

I’ll take “Things Stupid People Say” for $500, Alex.

The 2009 supermajority was very short lived. And abortion had been settled by the SC for decades. Not exactly a priority.

I like it when people focus on one thing and ignore all the actual accomplishments. Or maybe you aren’t ignoring them. Maybe you’re entirely ignorant of them.

Yup.

Literally what happened last election.

Got a bunch of fools to throw their hands up with the Democrat party and then fascists waltzed in and are currently speed running destroying our futures.

You can have problems with the Dems and that’s fine and dandy, but if you’re posting about how they’re not going to accomplish anything (fundamental lie if you pay attention at all) then you’re just helping fascists continue to obliterate our futures.

Bottom Line: The Democrats MUST win.

then the US public needs to occupy Washington by multiple millions with a list of demands.

I wish. But honestly, look at us. We don’t have it in us. We’re currently being abused (Constitutional violations left and right) and we haven’t dragged them into the street yet.

We’re weak. We can’t get on the same page. We can’t mobilize.

Or general strike.

You can definitely forget about that. If we aren’t occupying D.C. there’s no way a general strike is happening. Generally speaking a general strike is just not something that would happen. You aren’t going to convince a nation full of people living at the edge of poverty to stop going to work. Not happening.

I’m not trying to dissuade people from doing things, I’m just making realistic observations. And realistically we’re either voting our way out of this or waiting until everyone is starving to fight our way out of it.
