These are Christians. You don’t get to distance yourself from them just because they actually read your holy book, and not just the red words.

No state oversight of curriculum, so ripe for indoctrinating.

This isn’t an exaggeration, this literally has been happening already before the GOP controlled the entire federal government.

Balkanization is really one of the only possible paths out of this, I feel like.

But then we’ll all have crazy far right nutjobs doing cross-border raids, because they’ve shown for decades that they are incapable of running a state and keeping it solvent without help from the (now defunct) federal government.

This one actually was… Watch the videos of it, shit is crazy. They literally firebombed a row home from a helicopter and ended up burning down the entire block.

technology forces us to

Huh? What does this even mean?

How can anyone be this optimistic about “fixing” climate change?

Clown. They’re not going to show soldiers violently gang raping someone on fucking nbcnews.com you absolute dipshit.

Are you saying that the people in the article that say they’ve seen the video are lying?

Funny that I was about to post the literal opposite of your comment… I just knew there would be the “we cannot ever trust anything a Palestinian says about Israel, ever” people here.

How convenient for you. You don’t even need to read the claims, because you know that they cannot possibly be true, right?

Check out Fatal Familial Insomnia. It’s just a cute little prion you can get that will let you never fall asleep again. Maybe that would help with the withdrawals?

Side note: it has been determined that prions are not terrifying, actually. No, that is not the prion speaking, don’t be silly.

Yeah I would think that many people on this site are not in the right headspace for psychedelics at the moment. For… Reasons. Set and setting are crucial.

Ketamine on the other hand… Perfect mind set to do a line and enter the hole, and leave your worries behind for an hour or so.

I’ve been disgusted seeing headlines the past week about how “Democrats went too far left w.r.t. trans issues, and that’s why Harris lost” and, “Democrats didn’t listen to the public on this issue.”

Absolutely disgusted. First of all, allowing a person to exist based on an immutable aspect of them, should never be considered an extreme position.

Second, “listen to the public?” Should we also be listening to the public more about whether or not Jews should exist? Or is that an absurd suggestion, because of fucking course they should. And religion is a choice, unlike gender and sexuality.

I’m sorry you have to go through this. It’s been so goddamn stressful for me, and I’m a straight, white, cis, male. I can’t even imagine what it must be like for you and others like you.

I will not dox myself, but I live in a state that will most likely fight any federal action against LGBTQ+ people tooth and nail, and if/when it comes down to literally running for your life, I would straight up let you live in my basement. It’s a rental, so we may have to be chill, but fuck it.

Oh look, the “they want a list of gun owners so they can track us” bullshit was just more projection like everything else.

Well, seems like maybe Jared did it for what, $3 billion? Did he get ripped off?

Side note, we should bring back the traditional practice of banishment as a punishment for people who society has agreed are too insufferable to be around.

Would they say “overseas” if it were Mexico (or anywhere else in NA)? Honest question…

I remember being told if I ever called 911 as a joke, or for something silly, the cops will come to my house and I would get in a ton of trouble.

Guess I shouldn’t be at all surprised to find out it was just more cop lies.

It’s just so fucking boring… Imagine if every story, movies, TV, video games, etc., went back to only being about straight white men?

As a straight white man, it just sounds so fucking boring. I really do not get it.

Same for society in general. What a boring fucking country with boring food and literally no culture of their own beyond bigotry, that these people want. Just because they couldn’t handle seeing a brown person doing better in life than them. To them that’s an injustice that needs to be corrected.

I know. Can’t wait to see the daily goalpost movements from Trump voters doing everything they can to avoid admitting they fucked up. “Nah it’s ok guys, the camps aren’t concentration camps. Didn’t you hear Vance call them ‘forced timeshare rentals’? That’s all they are, so it’s ok.”

And then what % remains diehard after all of the awful shit he will do.

And, sadly, which group my parents fall under. If they can’t admit they were wrong, I’m not sure I can have them in my life. I cannot abide fascists, and they need to know that what they support is not only not ok, it’s actively damaging the future of their own children and grandchildren.

And “not ok” is putting it far too lightly. It’s morally abhorrent and they should be ashamed.

Tough decisions ahead…

I’m sure tons of people that voted for the liberal party in that election were very unhappy with Hindenburg’s decision to make Hitler Chancellor.

I could be mistaken, but I believe Hindenburg’s party could have formed a coalition government with the Communists/socialists/trade unionists to defeat the Nazis, but instead decided to hand power over to a fascist autocrat. If we had a (superior imo) parliamentary system, we may have had a similar opportunity (and more than two political parties).

So I would continue to make the distinction between the liberal voters, and the liberal government of the Weimar Republic.
