again, this is why any sensible person is forced to hope for short-term suffering in the US. Most of the American public is incapable of moral reasoning (this shit is popular) so the belief needs to be seared into their awful pig brains that fascism causes them personally pain

You see a sort of related thing with mods, too, eg in FFXIV you see a lot of "modders did x and it looks so much better, lazy devs!!" but like, the modders don't have to make sure a PS4 w/ a dust-covered heat sink can handle having 50 of the thing on screen at once lol

its so funny that the thing capital decided to stage this ridiculous rebellion & burn the world down over wasn't communism, wasn't socialism, wasn't even social democracy, it was literally just full employment. these people are fucking morons lol

fascinating that there's people out there who can fit both "amerikkka is a fascist settler state which must be destroyed" and "if you don't think Democrats should give Republicans votes to increase social security payments you're a psychopath who gets off on people's suffering" in their heads

accusing other people of treating nonvoters as NPCs while yourself swearing up and down that nonvoters have no agency is pretty incredible

I'm fascinated by all the Canadians taking it on faith that an unnamed right winger would never lie about overhearing a ratfucking attempt

At least Marcyites have a coherent (if extremely stupid) worldview. This shit is so much worse because there's really no way you can get to "Israeli civilians should be murdered but Americans should never suffer at all" other than virulent antisemitism

so basically Trump kept ratcheting up tariffs on China to try to force Xi to call him personally, Xi ignored him, and now Trump is cutting tariffs on China hoping Xi will call to tell him what a good boy he is www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/p...

Exempting phones & computers from tariffs really gives the game away tbh, they don't care about having domestic factories producing complicated, high tech stuff that could in principle pay well, they want factories producing cheap garbage where workers barely make enough to survive

one reason we need to recall Gavin Newsom is that we should have a governor who we're confident will take California's side rather than Trump's

"Trump lost after completely bungling the response to a pandemic and more or less personally killing hundreds of thousands to millions of Americans, so clearly the pandemic checks didn't help him much" is the kind of reach you only make when you know you're wrong and just won't admit it lol

Cursed by a Tumblr witch to have thoughts like "I guess maybe trade wars are Trump's bunkerization?" somebody free me from the curse of shitposting about hoxhaism

honestly it was obvious enough that Newsom's shit would torpedo him in any Democratic primary that, with some time to reflect, I don't think it was ever about him running for president. I think there must be some as-yet-unalleged Allegations he thinks Trump will help him beat

This account just keeps being wrong about shit lol, I can't be bothered to spend my lunch tracking down the surveys but the evidence is that union membership is predictive of political orientation within a particular profession or industry

when I say it's literally gambling I mean it lol, if you're doing anything more sophisticated than buying index funds and holding them forever you should assume you'll lose all the money you put in. When you see people post screenshots of gigantic gains, you're actually seeing this image

It's cool how many people on here are like "if you don't think the Democrats should actively help manufacture support for the fascist government you're a monster who wants people to suffer!!" just say you think Trump should get to do his genocide as long as it doesn't hurt you!
