People need to know that the real soldiers aren’t siding with these shart shirts.
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 4 days ago:
What people boycott matters. So many things are effectively monopolized that only things people are willing to actually go without can effectively be boycotted.
It worked with Jimmy Kimmel because there’s neither a substitute entertainer that will satisfy cancelers nor is there an alternate disney owned streaming service they can funnel said canceler’s to.

We also have a less people capable of maintaining/repairing those machines. Parts are probably harder to get.
- Comment on Video of Charlie Kirk Anti-zionist comments that keep getting wiped from the internet (DOWNLOAD A COPY) 2 weeks ago:
Simple context for all conspiracy theorists: This clip was taken 1 week after the October 7 attacks in 2023. He has vehemently defended Israel’s right to defend itself and has visited Israel since these remarks. People seem to be under the impression he made these comments like a week before he was assassinated.

Probably get a lot farther with deadpan sarcasm and some weaponized incompetence.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely this. Right now americans are confused as to why their fat cat democrats have been unable to prevent a clearly incompetent gaggle of morons from burning the house down. Americans stopped holding democrats accountable and gave them too many free lunches. Now they have no teeth and the only solution is to primary the vast majority of them asap.

Find a hobby that will get you out of the house and around people. Isolation is how they limit your thinking. Other people expose you to new ideas, experiences, and perspectives.
-
Now that you’re “woke” you need to come to terms with the fact that people wake up at their own pace. Just because you’ve seen the light doesn’t mean you can pull the wool from other’s eyes.
-
You need to curate a list of reliable sources. For me, I don’t really take any sensationalist science or astronomy news seriously until I hear established voices I’m familiar with talking about them. With politics its a little less straight forward, but the same principle applies.
-
Educate yourself. Learn about the mechanisms that these cycles operate on top of. Learn methods of critical thinking. Learn the scientific method, learn the basics of money over time, learn how stocks/mortgages/bonds/real-estate functions.
If you know nothing about how the world actually works than you’ll never be able to discern a liar from a valid source.
- Focus on building and contributing to your immediate community. It will help ground you in more ways than I can describe.

- Comment on What is in for the antivax in a government? 3 weeks ago:
This sounds nuts but there is a possibility that he really believes what he is doing is correct, and became a useful idiot in the process
You’d have a harder time convincing me a brain wormed, road-kill eating, fried potato has the capacity for such a lie.

Kimmel got fired for pointing the spotlight back at Trump and Epstein. Had nothing to do with Kirk.

- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 4 weeks ago:
The USA didn’t have a 2 party system for the first decades of it’s existence.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 4 weeks ago:
GW specifically didn’t want the US to devolve into a 2-party system.
IMO single party or multi party system can both result in a functional representative democracy.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 4 weeks ago:
George Washington didn’t want political parties either. So whatever you are it’s patriotic af.

- Comment on Age check 5 weeks ago:
The women with Louis CK said it was not consensual. Monica said she didn’t understand how inappropriate it was, but it was consensual. That is the difference here.
And what did we as a society do? We lambasted him for being weird and not understanding that dynamic, and his career has yet to really recover.
To the benefit of absolutely fucking nobody; especially Monica.
Like not only did you guys embarrass yourself on the national stage, give fuel to the right wing media apparatus, subject Monica to a life of infamy, undermine the progress of your own administration; you guys accomplished fuck all for real victims of sexual violence … or else why would you be bringing up Louis CK?
- Comment on Age check 5 weeks ago:
lmao you sound like every time a 22 year old has sexual relations with a 49 year old you lose a neuron.
- Comment on Age check 5 weeks ago:
How do you not realize that your exact attitude is what the GOP exploited at the expense of Monica?
