I would guess: the more who do it, the less likely the big media companies are to call it out. If it’s becoming popular amongst the dictatorship, the big news orgs won’t want to put themselves in the crosshairs.

Lol, that is EXACTLY what I thought!

At this point, does the general public even give a fuck? They’ve proven they’re happy to vote for a tyrant if he promises to lower grocery prices. I’m not sure a piss tape would change anything now.

I didn’t know about Matt. Doing some catching up and, yeah, this really hampers my excitement for the new Mega Man comics.

The TV miniseries that “explains” Judi Dench playing M in both the Brosnan and Craig movies. 🤪

So… they gave her more money?

“I think most people on the left agree that [a bunch of stuff I made up].” I hate this kind of writing. It reeks of its own bias. “DEI programming.” Claiming insight to a broad swath of people he clearly doesn’t belong to. Just another “Dems are too far to the left!” screed.

Eh… I haven’t seen a Garth Edwards movie that I liked. In fact, quite a few that I strongly dislike.

Still waiting for your revolt. Any day now…

Maybe start at school board. I think we need to spread our ideology, get more people on board, get good candidates, then get people to vote for them.

I’m seeing a lot of words being spilled from someone whose bio says “actions are louder than words.” You know that posting about revolution in social media isn’t actually a revolution, yes?

I don’t understand how you can be so hard-lined about Substack, then elsewhere in this thread confess to using Meta, whose owner helped bankroll Trump’s inauguration party, joining him onstage. Are we being morally absolute or not?

That’s just never going to happen. What have you seen to make you believe that millions of people will ever get off their asses and put their lives on the line to accomplish a common goal? There’s zero organization.

Ma and Pa Suburbanite are never going to revolt. It’ll just be another “omg, can you believe the horrors, I’m scared” moment, before we go back to our routines. A great deal of this nation’s citizens don’t even know a thing about Congress, let alone care who’s arrested.

Expecting our political to do everything while we do nothing.

The error in your comment is “hope,” in other words, not taking action to make it happen. Why is the left so bad at organizing a political opposition? Why is the right so good at it? Is fear of the “other” an inherently better motivator? Is asking people to care an impossible goal?

Will there be a tipping point when white suburbanites experience enough consequences of Trump’s bad policies to outweigh the favorable media coverage?

There is an immaturity regarding a lot of folks understanding of how elections work. I was an idealistic (dumb) youth who voted 3P in 2000. But then I learned that, oops, the Republicans were worse, and I learned about the Electoral College and how it prevents 3rd parties.

They treat it like a boycott. I don’t like JK Rowling’s transphobia, so I’m not buying any Harry Potter merch. They’ll say they don’t like the Dems’ role in genocide, therefore they’re not voting Dem. But voting doesn’t work like the earlier example.

How long will his base wait before they start questioning why grocery prices haven’t dropped?

And if you want to talk about “warmongers like you’ve never seen,” I have to ask, how old are you? I lived through the George W Bush administration. The George HW Bush administration. No Democrat has instigated wars on that level in my lifetime.

I’m level headed enough to understand the American electoral system. At the Federal level, it is a truth that one or the other party will win. Therefore, I’m voting to keep the worst person out of office. Anything less than that is complacency with the worst option.

And what did you accomplish? How can you look at the part three weeks of Trump executive orders and still claim “both parties are the same”? This propaganda is putting you fools to sleep. You think you can opt out of the system, but the system won’t opt of your life. You’ve just removed your voice.

New York State has protections for LGBT people. Louisiana has outlawed trans health care. Because of Trump appointed SCOTUS, same sex marriage is likely on the chopping block. Shut the fuck up with your holier-than-thou, sanctimonious “both parties” bullshit.

Yes, exactly! These are the same people who say the insurrection was merely a sightseeing tour. And then turn around and claim the George Floyd protests "burned down entire cities." The mask has been off for a good while now.

Like, we've been kicked out. Why are they still yelling?

I saw a gay artist jumping for joy that Zuck is "bringing back free speech." If they didn't figure it out yet, I don't think they ever will.
