Most of us aren’t. Hell, most of us didn’t listen to the Secretary of Health and Human Services before.

His goal will never be to specifically kill Americans
I hope you’re right.

When talking to anyone left-of-center, encourage them to vote in elections, especially primaries
I think the greatest encouragement to vote in primaries would be if the party were to provide some assurance that they’re willing to run primaries without tilting the scales in favor of the people that the establishment likes and no one else does.
Or indeed, run primaries at all. People to the left are shut out of the party at every turn, and then told “You’ll be voting for a pro-genocide ghoul because we decided for you. If you don’t like the candidate we ordered you to like, it’s your fault for not voting in the primaries we didn’t have.”
That message may be satisfying to centrists, but it alienates the left. It’s a losing message and the party can no longer afford to keep sending it.

Put on a pair of headphones and start listening to something. Then set about to making shelter or building a fire or something. You’ll be rescued as soon as your hands are full because someone will come along to ask you the single most inane question of your life.

No one, anymore.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 3 weeks ago:
If the only thing you can find to eat requires all the processing wheat does, you figure it out. Then people noticed how versatile flour is.
A sponge is good enough. But most leaves will do. The need for a clean ass is less pressing than gnawing insistent hunger.

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 weeks ago:
It’ll take the politicians in other countries being willing to say no to bribes from US corporations.
Because the actions that need to be taken involve sanctions on the US and seizing the assets (including patents and trademarks) of US-owned corporations. And refusing to act as a tax haven for them anymore.
But that would benefit everyone while lessening the ability of politicians to enrich themselves with money from oil stolen from Venezuela and exploited from US citizens. Let’s see how noble your politicians are. We know ours are shit.

Why are so many Americans here calling for outside help to their internal problem with a bunch of criminal leaders?
Because attempts from within have failed.

- Comment on With how the republican party work in 10 years the presidential candidate will be an open pedophile and they will say they defeated wokeness. 5 weeks ago:
Democrats weren’t always like this. They weren’t always interested in chasing fascists to the right for the sheer joy of it.

The Democrats really suck. Our FPTP 2-party system is really some bullshit.
And this is the only lipservice you give to the notion that democrats’ constant and deliberate move to the right isn’t the best thing ever.
However, it is really difficult for me to buy into the validity of the slippery slope you are describing when the people around me keep voting for the option that is #1 worst by a whole fucking lot.
Republicans being evil excites their base. Democrats being evil excites only centrists. Unfortunately, that’s who runs the party so they’ll be as much like republicans as they think they can get away with.
And the further that #1 worst keeps surging and lapping #2 on the evil-dex, the further their psycho supporters seem to like it! We’ll see if the pedo shit can finally reverse that.
And when it doesn’t because it won’t, democrats will think the problem is just that they aren’t raping enough children. They either don’t understand or don’t care that they’re playing to different audiences.
This would be a different conversation if we’d elected democrats over and over to avoid republicans and somehow still got dragged to the right.
We elected biden and he was selling weapons for the genocide centrists preferred to lose to trump rather than abandon.
The fact that the democrats are the good cop capitalists to the republicans’ bad cop capitalists is definitely a problem, yes.
No, there are two bad cops. You just like that there aren’t any good ones and never want that to ever get any better.
But sometimes you have to fix things sequentially too.
And sometimes you have no one to vote for who is interested in fixing anything. Enjoy your pedo in 10 years. If it takes that long.

Four times running it’ll be, then.

Fuck anyone that takes advantage of FPTP to give the US a choice between two reprehensible pieces of shit three times running.

In 10 years we’ll have two pedos running and democrats will demand your vote for the second worse one.

Earlier this week a user posted “kill Nazis” and got a warning from Imgur saying that imgur is an inclusive platform, welcome to everyone. (which apparently includes Nazis?)
Where nazis are welcome, no one else is.

Look, if you start out the conversation with “I’m not a nazi or anything” and then handwave away concerns about how what you want to do could be used for horrifying purposes, don’t be surprised if people become even more focused on the stuff you tried to handwave away.

It’s actually absurd to me that you’re able to read that out of my comment.
I know. You can’t figure out why I’m not as cavalier as you are about something that will absolutely be misused. People are already so hateful of neurodiversity already that they’re willing to risk everyone’s health because charlatans have convinced them that the MMR vaccine will cause their children to be autistic. Except there’s actual science behind sexual preference being genetic. You think that bigots aren’t going to try to edit the gay away? Or edit the gays away? And we’ve seen with vaccines in this administration that these assholes are happy to try to give their backwards garbage the force of law.

Sounds to me like you’re fine with collateral damage as long as you get to edit certain neurodiverse people out of the gene pool.
