it was. it got us the nazis. letting a single confederate officer (who wasn't a double agent or something) avoid the noose was such a huge mistake. not dispossessing everyone who claimed to own another human completely was also a mistake.

we can fix this by putting estrogen in the water. sorry in advance to all the trans guys; your sacrifice will be honored.

and you just fucking ruined what would have been the coolest thing ever by putting it in public!

yeah brave always felt gross and i remember them doing shady crap for years.

im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump's dick down his throat. well, as far as it'll reach. between his lips, at least. so they can't really be trusted to not snitch at this point.

the only one of these that surprised me at all was firefox going to shit, and that started months ago with a smaller thing.

yep, every single officer needed to hang if we wanted to genuinely win that war. at least have their families banned from holding any government office, elected or otherwise, and from holding more than a certain amount of property, for a generation or two.

laws are just excuses for the men with guns. there's plenty of social cohesion and harmony you can have without men with guns, but if you want laws to be actual things, you need to keep up on the men with guns thing. the democratic party will never deploy them against other elites. liberalism, a law based form of social cohesion, will not save you when someone it will not target decides to not obey the laws that were designed to benefit it.

Liberalism will not save you. try something else.

and does that word mean anything in this context?

sparing so many nazis the noose was kind of a huge mistake. re-wilding huge portions of germany would have been the move to try and cut out this social cancer. we transplanted that shit into every world power after the war.

this shit is so embarrassing. death to america, so we can take this down. please.

there's not even a grain of truth here; they thought he word 'transgenic' meant remotely the same thing as 'transgender'. or thought nobody would check.

but of course; the poor are not.

well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn't actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

in fact, they don't even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there's no alternative.

'scans the front page, doesn't buy the paper'. right. that's the joke. that it's for someone important enough for their death to make the front page, which is visible without buying the paper.

well there's still five or ten years where people will be able to live on earth.

go on to live into their seventies

oh. they were like 65 years old already?

fascists really love LLM's. like ridiculously in love with them. it's where all their 'art' comes from. it's made of the shallow aesthetics with no interiority they love so much. plus it doesn't really require articulating your desires much, or having artists.

these short boycotts won't fuck them on dollars, but there is a potential benefit: just in time economics and these long slow prediction-powered supply chains cannot handle this shit.

i mean, right now the question isn't 'violence' it's 'against whom'. we fucked up all the futures that weren't a river of blood. the fascism, the horrors, the manufactured consent and insane obedience. the question isn't "river of blood or not" it's "whose, and how deep?"

I personally would prefer as little as possible and none of it mine, but apparently wars where millions of conscripts die are more ethical than the assassinations of the couple dozen leaders that start them and manufacture consent to keep them going. letting people be disappeared is more ethical than stopping it. letting people die of poverty on the street is more ethical than breaking the locks on dumpsters to feed them, or putting them in vacant/airBNB'd houses.

silver lining: it is at least gonna be really fucking metal. so we've got at least that to look forward to.
