Welcome! So glad youāre here!

Yep. Taking the high road only works when dealing with rational reasonable people with integrity. Rs have shown they are none of these things.

Reading is therapy for me too. It works wonders.

I mean, these folx are the descendants of (biologically or intellectually) as those Christianās who attended services in churches sitting atop dungeons where Africans were held for their human tracking business. They have no shame, no moral compass, and no depths to which they will not sink.

Zionism, like racism (and I would argue is a branch of racism), defies logic and reason. Like dealing with narcissists, itās best to not try to understand their āreasoningā. Itāll drive you mad.

Yep. Cuz thatās just fascism by another whitewashed name.

The left, Dems, the vast majority of electeds are wholly incapable of meeting this moment because theyāve been under the illusion that weāve been living in a democracy since 1776. The propaganda and myth making about this country has been so effective in brainwashing the masses.

And Iām literally avoiding eating at the moment cuz Iām being lazy and also want to avoid DoorDash. Ugh. Fml. I swear. Why are adult nannyās not a thing? I could really use one.

I donāt think much has changed since then, socially or politically. And I hate to be a negative Nelly, but Iām afraid weāre stuck with what we got for a good long time because of how the systems have been set up and how they course correct to overcome resistance or a ābugā in the system.

Wish it were as simple as vote blue no matter who. If you havenāt, you should study the Black Panther Party and how they were building a viable third party that was gaining serious steam and coulda been a challenger to the Ds and Rs. They got COINTELPRO and political assassinations instead.
comment in response to

The sad thing is there will not be a viable third party for at least a decade or more unless we build it now and start electing those folx into local offices. No way a third party wins a national level election for a long time. Not in this country. And not until a solid foundation is built.

Same. I probably think this every single day. Then go back to doing whatever I was doing.

All of this. And then when we recognize the role Christianity played, the depths of that role from churches built atop where they held captured Africans in the slave dungeons on the west coast of Africa, we can recognize the depths of that evil and the lineage of Christian nationalists today.

Thank you for sharing this.

Not to mention, the cascading health issues that stem from uterine, cervical, or ovarian problems left untreated. Itās inhumane really.
comment in response to
post
Oooof. Iām so sorry. Itās enraging to have so little agency over our own bodies because a bunch of men (who know nothing about female anatomy) and women who align with the patriarchy decide against all evidence, that we somehow are too stupid to know our own bodies and minds. š¤¬

wouldnāt trade em for the world. AND my life would have been fine had I never had kids. I had other uterine/ovarian health problems: pre-cancer stuff, miserable periods, etc. FINALLY got my hysterectomy. It was one of THE best things I ever did for myself.
comment in response to

Aaaaaalllll of this. I had cysts as a teen, one so large it was the size of a grapefruit and had to be surgically removed. It hurt like hell. I was 16 and asked about a hysterectomy. Got the same line - you might want kids, marry a man who wants kids. I did eventually have kids (love em,

For some folx, hating Black people is their entire identity, to hell with anything else.

Exactly none of this is exciting news like the OP exclaimed. Itās actually terrifying.

#MeToo was taken far more seriously than #BlackLivesMatter or any other āreckoningā with racism. And sadly, any movement against oppression is dealt with similarly. The system is built to thwart serious attack and give people a false sense of progress. At least imo.

Omg. So much this! ā

Oooo! Canāt wait to see what you come up with.

MAGA is more like the Human Centipede with each personās head up the ass of the person in front of them. Wish I was artistic or into AI, Iād play with that and post a pic. But Iām not.

Truth. We need to unite and realize that wherever we are in the world, we are all indigenous to Africa and must come together. This division is intentional because they know when we come together, their racist games of exploitation, extraction, and control are over.

I also wonder, how much of an environmental impact bombings and such have on our already distressed environment. Like, how much does this bullshit hasten climate catastrophe?

Thank you for sharing. My god. This is so far beyond bad, I donāt even have words. This is bad. And I think many of us knew it was coming for quite some time now.
comment in response to

None of the draconian dystopian bullshit that is currently happening needed to be at the level it is at. The current human suffering didnāt need to be this bad. Whatās coming is going to be infinitely worse than those numbnuts can even comprehend. Few of us can. But I guess hubris. WTFE.

Oh! And fuck you very much to all the third party, ānever Trumpā, āKamala likes genocideā dimwits. Yeah. Iām not letting that go. Iāll likely carry that grudge with me till I leave this mortal realm.

Just fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Seriously, fuck.

And I wonder how weāll fare as one of the Axis powers now (not speaking of our general and historical evil doings at home and abroad).

I wonder how long until WWIII because I think this moves us considerably closer to that.

I wonder how much of the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing was pre-text for just this.

Agreed. Worse and vastly different.

Yes. I did see that. And if you havenāt heard people saying this stuff irl, youāre missing out cuz theyāre there.

Eh. Shoulda scrolled further in the thread. When satire mirrors reality. We are living in an unreality anymore.
comment in response to

You think itās satire? It isnāt obvious this is satire to me as Iāve heard this and similar for decades from humans irl.

Me too. I miss when I was oblivious to what was happening every second or the shady dealings or just everything (as I gesticulate about at everything). Ugh.

OMFG! Why are humans like this? Why are we such a stupid species? My god. This would be funny if it wasnāt such common (and weird) behavior.

I guess it proves, we canāt kill ideas, no matter how draconian and wrong and loud they may be. I think about the lineage of ideas a lot. And all I got to say, Iām disgusted by a large swath of humanity for being so gullible and hateful. Itās a sad and enraging period of history to live through.
comment in response to
post
Thank you. I coulda looked him up. But honestly, there are so many horrible humans to keep track of, I didnāt need to add one more to my list. I feel like Arya Stark repeating the names of awful humans each night. These old hateful ideas never die, they just get reworked and persist through eras.

Black people in Spokane? Like, there are 25 Black people there. Jk. Thereās more but by number or percentage, they are a very small population. And those falls can be deadly, the last several decades itās either willing participants or murder tho. The falls arenāt scary. Who is this guy anyway?
