Shitty part is that she’s 100% getting reelected lol

Yeah - a major problem we have to contend with is that GOP voters + politicians are treated like animals with no agency. “They’re just like that, they’ll always be like that, it’s their nature.” It’s like seeing an unruly kid in public and their parent shrugs it off by saying “they have issues”

It is kind of incredible how Britains imperial position of “it’s bad to allow a continental hegemony” has made them reflexively ready to air strike any European power that steps out of line in the modern day. Like a real “we’ve seen how this has gone before” type of thing

Yeah like the flight going into the Hudson is what comes to mind for me - no fatalities though! There was also that one in SF a decade or so ago… no fatalities I believe

Minus “the man comes around” by cash playing in the background, I’m guessing :/

And I think a mass of old people would be the one area where police don’t just start tear gassing. The optics would be chernobyl tier radioactive

Something I also see on the horizon that hasn’t been talked about ~as much~ is that the DOGE guys fucking with the NPS is going to backfire big time. More n more people are hitting the outdoors. Taking away summer camping and campfire beers will make people want to take away your head

That would cause a shutdown yeah? Combined with tariffs it makes me very happy I recently went to Costco lmfao

What do you think will make it March 2020? Widespread tariffs going into effect? I imagine it’ll be a ton of shit at once but yknow

Yeah I was born in the late 90s so by that point, at least to my young eyes, Asian communities had been “assimilated” to a certain degree. But like within three months of moving to the US my (frankly quite racist) mother had to give me the “this is what racism is” talk lmfao

Like I am fully aware that anti-Asian racism is present all over the UK but at the same time the pop there is well… there. 9/11 just put a massive target on a vulnerable demo in a culture already prone to violence

I hear you. The first time I ever witnessed overt, explicit racism was after I moved to the US in 05 and a Pakistani friend I made was called a potential terrorist by two old white ladies while we were committing the suspicious act of playing with toy lightsabers & pretending to use the force

Yeah I mean these guys definitely aren’t seeing the Pearly Gates but it does seem that most of these guys meant it when they promoted democracy at the end of a bayonet - as horrible as that panned out in reality

I still don’t understand how everyone either forgets that Britain and France have nukes or thinks that they won’t use them. France is routinely the NATO country that tells us to stick our plans up our ass!

Yeah I mean if anything I think that’s why educated/noneducated is starting to become the predictor of who you vote for - every car dealer I’ve met would probably drown in 3” of water and is the sleaziest scam artist around. Thinking of that Andy Elliott dipshit on Instagram/TikTok lmao

The framing to me is astounding and really speaks to just how braindead so many of my countrymen (everyone on the right) are. Sure, you as a private citizen can shitpost all you want - but as the PRESIDENT you don’t get to just say this shit! This is international relations! It matters!

This is where I feel like figures like AOC are really stepping up - whether you agree with her beliefs or not, she has been really good about constituent services and at the very least has a definable vision of what she wants for this country that most other Dems just lack

My personal list of how we get outta this (half thought out):
1) investors call bluff on Elons companies and his NW evaporates overnight
2) the military + IC get so pissed off they start refusing orders/form shadow command structure
3) firings at Nat Parks cause general revolt

Haven’t heard this one before actually - is it basically the smol bean “nooooo not all of us are fascists you can’t sanction us”

Sim theory used to be that thing your friends older brother would tell you about while he was high as shit (and clearly just watched the Matrix). Now? It’s justification for inflicting misery on millions, because to someone in this drug/ego psychosis, it isn’t real!
comment in response to
post
This is why I’ve always found simulation theory as it’s talked about by SV guys to be a red herring. Positing that nothing is actually real, that you are the main character so to speak (NPC is now a term used by normies), nothing you do matters. The harm isn’t “real”. There is an “end lib” button

The idea is that all opposition is astroturfed by Deep State funding or based on parasite classes dependent on welfare. When you abolish social security, defund academia and NGOs, all opposition will end. Elon has literally said this.

Like fundamentally I think that’s something these dipshits consider when voting for Trump, it’s the midwit idea that it we become completely totally self reliant, we can fuck about all we want and nobody can hit back! Newsflash buddy, that is impossible
comment in response to
post
Yeah a bunch of people on tiktok were posting videos/comments essentially being like “okay yes Trump is being a meanie but that doesn’t mean you have to take it out on all of us!” in regards to Canada threatening to shut off power lol

I saw the proto-version of this about a decade ago with Gamergate (essential learning for understanding our current situation). Difference back then was the culture hadn’t basically fully embraced it yet

If they try this in Seattle I need a QRF of white men ready to deploy and shout wanker while doing the two finger insult at the little shits

One hypo I’ve run in my head is that blue states start taking it seriously (as much as they can) and then the feds basically say “nope, can’t do that!” And basically try to force blue states to let their people die

What I’m curious about is if bird flu starts spreading like wildfire, will the public at large know? Sure individual private organizations/experts can be like “yes this is bird flu” but as we know, most folks are low info. Wtf do they do when ppl start dropping? What’s the game plan?! (There’s none)

When my girlfriend and I go to Costco I turn into a whole other person. I feel like a member of the Adeptus Custodes

I mean functionally most folks believe that the US budget functions the same exact way that a personal budget does - like “how are we going to pay for it” to this person applies equally to foreign aid and also when your kid asks for a brand new car.

Welp looks like Britain and France are the de facto leaders of NATO now! The Royal Navy guards the freedom of us all with *checks notes* 16 combat ships

I mean these guys have pretty much come out and said that they don’t believe anyone is actually a lib/lefty. They think it’s all astroturfed, all a deep conspiracy. Classic projection aside, I legit believe they think they’re gonna find a button in like DoE that says “end liberalism forever”
