Nah, Hitler wasn’t really that special. If anything he was a symptom of deeper problems in Germany at the time. If he hadn’t risen to power someone else would have. And they would’ve been a racist shit head too, because that’s how fascist movements work.
Hetalia is basically this but WW2.
My favorite, is the removal of almost all physical buttons, encouraging drivers to dig into menus on touch screens rather than looking at the fucking road.
Assuming no consequences means I won’t die, or catch a disease or something, I’d go back like a hundred million years or so to look at dinosaurs.
“two choices fallacy”? Buckaroo, you realize America only has two parties. And that won’t change until the voting system changes.
Is that because Republicans are worse?
Listen, we aren’t going to make Democrats better by letting Republicans win, that just lowers the bar for the even further
If you want real change it’s going to take drastic action with significant personal risk from a lot of people.
No there’s plenty of blame to go around. The Democrats’ hands aren’t clean here. But neither is anyone who voted for trump or encouraged others to vote for trump.
I mean, these people (the leaders in the article) threw basically any minority group in the US and all of Ukraine under the bus to make their point. I’m not gonna say anything about all Muslims, but these leaders can definitely get fucked.
Not to mention jumping to Threads of all places.
Not to mention: a lot of people don’t really understand how technology works. They just use the app without even thinking where that data goes. Like yeah, it would probably behoove those people to educate themselves on the technology they’re using, but I certainly don’t want them to face unjust legal repercussions just because Republicans hate anyone with a vagina.
From my experience working in retail I’ve seen people say out loud something like “oh, it’s only 4 dollars!” When the sticker says $4.99. This shit apparently works on a lot of people for some reason.
So they can prosecute people for getting illegal abortions.
Ofcourse they don’t care about citizens, or protecting minorities. But they’re the only other people to vote for. Not voting is just giving power to Republicans. Voting is the bare fucking minimum.
If we want more than two parties. If we want a single fucking party that represents citizens we aren’t going to get that peacefully. Unfortunately Republicans have full control and have clearly telegraphed that they’re going to rip the few shreds of democracy we have left apart. All we really have left is bloody revolution.
That’s really only the case under incredibly undemocratic systems like the US’s that don’t support more than two parties or proportional representation.
The problem isn’t democracy, the problem is undemocratic systems that just call themselves democracies.
Ay yess “you libs”. Because I’m the one downplaying the severity of the fascist, and passively accepting their leadership because “don’t worry, we’ll get back to boring status quo in four years.”
Fuckin dipshit. I bet you go around calling anyone who votes, protests or takes any action against the Republicans “Blue maga” too.
It’s a little weird the first couple times you do it, but holy shit is it the most effective way to deal with congestion for me, but a fucking long shot. For real, saline sinus rinse works like a fucking miracle
There’s probably not going to be a next time.
I mean, nearly half the country just didn’t vote. Had Kamala actually offered good policy it probably would’ve mobilized a lot more people. Voting against someone doesn’t feel as good as voting for someone. Kamala never offered many reasons to vote for her. Trump just offered a lot of reasons to vote against him.
That was enough for me to vote against Trump. But then again I’m in a group that’s in Republicans’ cross hairs.
This “both sides are the same” bullshit took root too hard. And now, due to voter apathy, the biggest military in the world is about to be in the hands of an outright fascist dictatorship.
I feel like there’s enough blame to go around. Fuck the Republicans for a laundry list of things. Fuck the Democrats for letting this happen. Fuck the non voters for their apathy. Fuck all the dipshits who voted for the orange fascist.
Is this that Joe Rogan podcast all my least favorite coworkers listen to?
