This country was irrevocably destroyed and dead as of November… 1979.

Honestly it’s kind of refreshing that meaningful numbers of people are finally acknowledging that this is just the vultures picking on the long dead corpse of the US instead of continuing to buy stupid shit, medicating, and otherwise playing pretend we were still a nation of laws and democratic representation.

Can we finally, finally destroy the capital markets that turned us into an oligarch exploitation camp for half a century and make something new with an avarice punishing framework in its place now? Or do we need to wait for the new low the capitalists bring us to next week, and the one after that, and the one after that…

But let me guess, this is fine too? 🔥🐶☕🔥

Why would Trump care if he wins?

As he has for most of his bankruptcy laden past, he’s largely playing with other people’s lives. He’ll be fine, and he enjoys inflicting cruelty on others for its own sake when he “loses.”

It’s a shame we don’t have a competent left in the US. This is an opportunity.

As Republican voters have been turned into easily deluded suckers unable to think critically or act in their own interests, now would be the perfect time to capitalize on that and turn them against the core rot of our society: unrestrained capitalism. That’s why we have Trump to begin with.

“Look, the capital markets are anti MAGA! The capital markets must be destroyed, if you disagree you have Trump derangement syndrome! Capitalism is revealed as a woke leftist plot to discredit GodEmperorDaddyTrump!”

The capitalists defunded education for decades to cut their own taxes despite profiting from a literate workforce pool, and pushed profit friendly lies through for profit media and captured government pulpits. The capitalists made this drooling army of rage zombies that is the Republican base. They don’t know which way is up. They might not be doing it for the right reasons, but this is a magic moment where the monsters could be given a nudge to turn on their oligarch creators.

I, for one, support Musk and Trump using their respective cudgels of capital and government to beat one another bloody.

If we’re going to burn, and it looks like we absolutely will, why not have a little entertainment?

We never left might makes right, we just dressed it up all pretty. I was referring the the equality of extinction.

Lol, in the end capitalism will bring social equality 💀

Guess the capitalists were filthy commies all along.

I think you’re confusing misanthropy based on the data with eco-fascism. Eco-fascists want to destroy heavy industry attempting to save humanity from itself. I’m saying we aren’t worth saving, and the earth doesn’t need saving from us because it has a mechanism to deal with us.

It isn’t advocating violence, and therefore isn’t fascism of any stripe, to acknowledge the reality that we are subject to our habitat, not the other way around. Our species has lost respect for the very ground beneath our feet, and we aren’t the first problematic mutation that altered the climate that the planet had to correct for. See the trees of the carboniferous period. We’re merely the first species that had the agency not to, but chose to anyway.

You might want to look at your biases if you think there’s a dirty accusation to be thrown for anything less than rah rah homosapiens! That’s just base tribalism.

Palestine was genocided by fascists, who won, and are winning elsewhere.

I think I’ve just switched sides, I’m on team climate change extinction. We inflict cruelty on all other life on this planet… And OURSELVES. Literally no one is happy, even the capitalists who are most responsible for human misery trying to fill the black hole in their chests with ever moar capital, even they can’t be made happy in victory as they’ll never have enough.

Earth needs to shake us off its back for the sake of terrestrial life. To put it in terms the rest of my species understands, we’re a liability to the larger organization, and bring no redeeming value to the planet. As such, we should be summarily terminated.

Oh just like how the American private health insurer confidence scheme seeks the death penalty when their customers marks actually need life saving healthcare and become a threat to the capitalist’s quarterly metastasis expectations.

Neat.

When we have a side that rejects the corporate bribe take and has an overt agenda to fight the capitalist profiteers in defense of the people, sure.

Until we dig ourselves out by rejecting private profit/growth/metastasis at the expense of the people at the bottom of society, nothing can improve.

Since Reagan got his former opposition party on the take, all we’ve been voting on is the speed of decline as good cop(D) and bad cop® encourage us to hate one another and be divided over the social issue symptoms of the captured economy we don’t get a vote on.

I vote blue out of harm reduction. But democrats still don’t give a shit about mass murder for private profit, mass homelessness, income inequality, on and on. They affirm your identity instead of scapegoating you, which is nice, but is also free for their mutual donor’s quarterly profit expectations.

What good is being free to be who you are when you’re dying of exposure and police brutality under a freeway for failing to produce enough value for the owners?

If there’s another real presidential election, and if a democrat gets elected, we’ll get four years of relative quiet but the situation will continue to grow darker as the DNC will not allow the capital markets to be reigned in, which means even if we avert this fascist march, the table will still be set for them to continue their march in four years. Wall Street must end. And it will, by our hands, or capitalist made climate change in a couple decades when it no longer matters for our species.

We need a new party and if that is impossible collapse or revolution and a new constitution, as this one is too far captured. The DNC at this point exists to take the oligarch bribes and stoke social issue division while defending the economy that bribes them and their partners accross the aisle from us. It cannot be reformed, because it’s primary function is bribe courting.

Harris was my last vote for an economic right wing candidate. I have very little confidence there will be another honest election, so why would I continue to vote for the fascist enablers as I have for 24 years? They march hand in hand with Republicans in for profit prisons, massive homeless populations that’s more expensive to maintain than simply housing the homeless without condition, mass murder for corporate private profit that make up entire economic sectors, etc.

And no, I sorry, I’m for respecting everyone’s rights and calling everyone what they want to be called out of basic respect, but millions of our neighbors dying in the streets for the crime of producing insufficient value for our oligarchs dwarfs a lot of social wedges neoliberals fight for but are ultimately not about meeting the basic needs people need. They make those their big issues because they don’t cost the capital markets a cent.

From a humanist perspective, it’s more important for a homeless person not to die of exposure, starvation, disease, and police brutality in our name than telling someone with a full belly and a roof who’s LGBTQ that we affirm who they are. Both are important, but even our “left” has been paying no attention to the former and all to the latter, because the former would cost their wealthy bribers money and talk and ribbons are cheap. Kids need lunch. Hungry anyone needs food. Priorities.

And no, we can’t do both, because we’ve proven we can’t do shit. Want less abortions? Riot for a living wage that can support a family and if you win there will be fewer abortions with no bans required. It’s the economy stupid, that thing we haven’t gotten a vote on in 46 years.

I’ll vote for a candidate promising to repurpose big corpo’s record profits to rebuild society, no less.

Honestly at this point im getting a little jealous some of them have somewhere to go that isn’t so…Hitlery.

Both our parties worship at the alter of that bull.

The Republicans are fascists, but the Neoliberal Democrats, all Democrats save 2-5 spoiler the DNC hates more than Republicans, are fascist enablers that play pretend that funnelling the value of the nation’s labor to the top few percent somehow won’t lead to fascism.

Unrestrained capitalism will always lead to fascism.

AOC/Sanders aren’t even that leftwing.

It’s just an optical illusion looking at them from inside the burgeoning fourth Reich of Stupid Hitler’s crazy town.

I went to one of the conservative drone echo chambers and their big line on this is “What grounds does she have to claim asylum in Canada?! She should be sent to Gaza to die!”

No point trying to reply in those spaces, they’re all too far gone, but I want to reply “what grounds? The grounds that Canada hasn’t abandoned their basic humanity or decency in exchange for nothing, as we Americans have.”

We turned the bull loose as the slogan said.

What do bulls do to people?

The Matrix.

Pretty fucking screwed.

It’s a fast track to power over others without having to first gain significant knowledge/wisdom to wield responsibly.

A surgeon is a allowed to cut you open and rearrange your insides because they have been through the intense trials and scrutiny to be trusted to do so.

Cops are just a few weeks of training. Who does this fast track to power without commensurate burdens of responsibility attract? BULLIES. The kids that stole your lunch money are the ones handing out speeding tickets and on drug dealer bribe takes.

That’s the paradox of power, the harder someone seeks it for its own sake, the worse a candidate they are to possess it. Maybe if Law enforcement were part of some kind of mandatory national service where everyone has the option to hold it for a year or two would help, but this sociopathic place is too selfish for such ideas.
