Gotta love how the east has been sipping the propaganda koolaid for years and just decided America is the enemy even though China commits war crimes Love it.
- Comment on A man in France was beaten after throwing rocks on firefighters 1 day ago:
There’s concerns in the USA of firefighters letting houses burn down where squatters reside after the people are out to let all their belongings be destroyed. But it’s not wide spread and honestly nowhere near as bad as cops.
- Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely. 1 day ago:
I left when the great conservatisation started before the API issues. When they basically wanted more conservative moderators in “liberal” places for fair and balanced approach. When people were being banned left and right for speaking out against the regime or telling LGBT people to arm up.
- Comment on The "Threat" to America. 6 days ago:
Yeah, deprogramming takes a while too with the intense level of propaganda. Realizing that the “left” they say in the media and such refers to neo-liberalism and not actual leftist policies or politics. It’s all purposely obsfucated to keep us in that vacuum.
- Comment on Why? 1 week ago:
Forced obsolescence. What better way to make money than cut the cost of making a cable that lasts half as long for twice as much that people need regularly? This is an example baked into the very government as it called for initial light bulbs to only last a certain amount of time so they are replaced more often to “stimulate” the market.
- Comment on The "Threat" to America. 1 week ago:
This is a person who has a hard on for punishment in the judicial system instead of rehabilitation. Not understanding it’s unequally applied along race and often those of possession of drug charges.
- Comment on The "Threat" to America. 1 week ago:
Wow, this sounds a lot like right wing or red fascist talking points. Nevermind that it’s punishment this is used for and not rehabilitation. We punish drug offenders while we let white collar crime to run rampant.
- Comment on The "Threat" to America. 1 week ago:
I think the biggest propaganda buy in was that neo-liberal politics and policies along with the “free market” were the best for a sustainable world.
- Comment on The ineffective Democratic leadership ain't going away unless we make them. 1 week ago:
As long as you have people like Chuck in charge of the Democrats you’ll never see anything meaningful happen. That they fight tooth and nail against the DSA is also telling.

I’m surprised you’re not being heckled by the libs right now for being a useless, idealist.
- Comment on Goes right over some people's heads, I tell ya 3 weeks ago:
Rogue Trader which it was based on was a parody yes had a lot of references to politicians or political doctrine at the time. It evolved over the editions as it gained popularity, especially outside the UK. The parody now is much darker in tone, less comedic or silly. The problem is they started to realize how cool the setting was as they developed it and took out even more of that satirical bite. There’s some satire still but it’s not as on the nose now.
- Comment on he did that 3 weeks ago:
Apparently, like with McConnell, being a bag of the worst excrement keeps you alive a long time. Not looking good, just alive.
- Comment on War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready? 4 weeks ago:
No, you can’t be psychologically prepared for the horrors that all out war, especially in this era, would bring. Even if the Geneva Convention was followed as closely as possible, the body count would be staggering. I don’t think we have a modern equivalent display of military power versus one equally so. While there’s always some disparities, most conflict during our time has generally been either civil wars in countries that were exploited by colonialism, or the USA going to pound some non-white people into the ground for profit.
I don’t think Ukraine and Russia really counts, Russia has the surplus but it’s literally just throwing bodies at the problem and their advanced tech has failed often to just the rampant theft in the system.
- Comment on ‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job 4 weeks ago:
When you’re in your 50s unless you suffering a neurological disorder, you’re still sharp and aware. Just the body is starting to wear down more so they need accommodations at times. Why hire them when they can just not hire anyone and force the rest of us to worker harder for longer?
- Comment on Anon listens to music 4 weeks ago:
That’s the right mentality to have there. Do what you can where you can.
I ran into an amazing character creator and animator recently and loved what I saw. I shared it with some friends and they pointed out the person is a complete CHUD. I now blacklist their stuff, as simple viewership of their media gives demand for it.
- Comment on Anon listens to music 4 weeks ago:
Perfection is impossible, you’ll never know someone is like that until they get vocal about it. But for actual Nazis and their sympathizers, I do what I can to not give them attention or money. It’s like ethical consumption under capitalism, it’s impossible to be 100%. Just do better when it’s obvious.
- Comment on Anon listens to music 4 weeks ago:
That those people then funnel money into organizations that are anti-LGBTIA+ as well should be a very good reason to not buy their crap. Initially with Rowling we didn’t know she was such a POS, but now that we do, I no longer consume her media willingly. I wouldn’t even say pirate it, as it still creates an obvious demand for it.
- Comment on Anon listens to music 4 weeks ago:
Money going to people like that is then funneled into culture war bullshit. Rowling as an example is personally help fund many anti-trans pieces of legislation. There is not ethical consumption with Nazis/Reactionaries involved. If you can’t be assed to not pay for media that funds such actions then I personally so little difference between you and the creator.
- Comment on It's The VIDEO GAMES! 4 weeks ago:
I learned a fair amount in school, and I’ve learned to hate bullies and their types with such an extreme disdain that it’s entirely irrational how much so.
- Comment on This mess of a keychain I was handed at work 4 weeks ago:
Had a prior job that handed me dozens of keys to access the different buildings. It was a security measure in case one key gets lost it limits what the “students” can gain access to. The entire campus was essentially one open air prison that had a history of local trouble makers thrown into first before throwing them in jail. It was not a good place to work and honestly I would find it humiliating to have been there voluntarily with how they treated people.

It’s already a survival horror game with the wrong people.

Pretty much.
- Comment on Happy Kirkday! 5 weeks ago:
Reddit post of a MAGA explaining they’re all in on Trump, don’t care, never will, stop trying to argue with them in their own words.
- Comment on Happy Kirkday! 5 weeks ago:
Laura Loomer is a reactionary asshole with early winter ground level intelligence. She doesn’t know and would argue you’re lying to not look stupid.
- Comment on Happy Kirkiversary 5 weeks ago:
He spewed nothing but hate and bile, except in the end when it was blood.
- Comment on Happy Labor Day! 5 weeks ago:
Agreed. Unify, don’t divide, everyone who can have the day off should. There’s certain positions they have to keep operating but for them they should get time and a half for so.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 1 month ago:
What better way to fight your enemies than selling them all armaments and watch them go at each other’s throat.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 1 month ago:
Hot take incoming.
Turns out, Bin Laden was right, we should have not become so deeply invested in the middle east like we have and should have left it. Militarily and essentially colonialism of territory for oil.

I don’t see people stealing food.

That’s the neat thing, it isn’t for us.
My boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,
This rhyme comes from a different time,
My boss makes a dollar, I make a cent,
That’s why I can no longer afford rent.
