We have one habitat we’re terraforming against ourselves. As much as I’d be willing to lay more blame at the feet of this shithole called the US, the same doom is coming for all of us, accelerating beyond models of years past, and none of the global superpowers are going to use their power to stop it.

Our global crops are already feeling the squeeze.

What Tesla sabatours?

Sorry, I was there, they all spontaneously caught fire out of being poorly built junkers. All of them. Everywhere they caught fire.

especially the ones that caught fire after a Tesla humanoid Robot clearly must have graffitid “Musk is a Nazi” on them.

*civilization

Have more babies though.

Your owners need your kids to be exploited into an early, miserable grave to run up their nepo kid’s ego scores. The doting ones at least, the owners toss kids that don’t become little nepo clones of themselves as bad investments.

Luxury climate bunkers are boring, are you really going to deprive a future billionaire child that matters the joy of watching line go up powered by your worthless peasant offspring’s life force, you monster?

Maybe stop being so selfish and think about what you can do to further enrich your betters. Priorities, my fellow batteries, priorities!

We’re easily manipulated, and way too eager in general to choose our own short term gain over the good of the collective.

Individualism is weakness, not strength.

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.

The cost to current ecosystems will be severe, but this has happened before and is necessary. See the trees of the carboniferous period.

The Earth will cleanse the runaway evolutionary mistake causing inconvenience to its larger biome, repair itself afterwards, and all will be right with the world.

In a few million years it’ll be as if our entire species never existed. What a wonderful planet and mother we betrayed.

Rofl no. Supply is kept artificially low to maintain prices. The global capitalist greed diseased oligarchs got bored with supply and demand a long time ago. Doesn’t metastasize their quarterly earnings fast enough.

OPEC and DeBeers don’t even do it in shadows.

You’re thinking of the doe eyed days when capitalism was giving you it’s talking points in grade school, deluding you. We’re in the terminal stage, all that mickey mouse bullshit of supply and demand, capitalism breeds competition, and participation is optional have been shown for the confidence scheme sales pitch to suckers that they are.

At least to everyone but Americans, who’ve been so propagandized against anything that isn’t toxic individualism most of us couldn’t define socialism with a library card and a gun to our heads.

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

Neoliberals are Fascist enablers.

Sanders and AOC can come.

I’m part of the left and I’m armed. I just don’t glorify my arms, name them girl names, or fall to sleep stroking them like a lover.

I think it’s the only position I share with our rightwing. I wish I didnt need them, but this is a cesspool of toxic individualism, avarice, and prideful ignorance. When in Nazi Germany, you might need to shoot a Nazi.

In the Nordic countries, societies, they have freedom to roam, here our bootstrap buckaroos fantasize about murdering anyone (who doesn’t look like them) that rings their doorbell for walking up their sidewalk.

Ask 1930s Germans how bad it needs to get.

Id argue Americans are even more gaslit and deluded than they were with modern for profit media combined with captured government pulpits.

I truly think the average American would sooner burn their own children alive than protest/disempower their capitalist fascist oppressors gutting their very lives for an extra nickel. For profit media says the fault of our problems are all the powerless homeless neighbors we’ve all collectively betrayed lowering property values with their continued immoral existence as they produce no value other than to scare everyone else back to their jobs every day.

Wouldn’t want to be accused of being a filthy SOCIAList that wants to be part of a SOCiety after all. Why live together when we can die alone at each other’s throats hoping the next lottery ticket or third side gig will make us a big winnah!

I will never, never forget all the domestic politicians using their pulpits when covid hit to assure everyone that they will do everything possible to protect our beloved society people children future economy, with basically no pushback 🤮

He’ll be literally all those things now in Republican echo chambers.

The Right wing eats its own.

Should have kept better company.

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.

We haven’t had a vote on the shape or priorities of our economy since 1980. This is an economic dictatorship, and has been longer than most of us here have been alive.

We just get a vote on how/if to address the social wedge symptoms that economy either causes or exacerbates.

And only IF addressing them won’t meaningfully harm quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. Example: you know what would drastically reduce the number of abortions without any kind of ban? A living wage that can support a family. But that would cut into corporate metastasis and is therefore a non-starter by either party in anything more than rhetoric.

You can have scapegoating® or affirmation ribbons(D), so long as you vote for for profit prisons, legal murder for profit, millions of Americans dying of exposure on the streets, crumbling commons, public education in utter ruin… Freedom!

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.”

This has all been theater for a long time.

Our owners just don’t care to pretend otherwise anymore, because they no longer need to. They’re even starting to cut out the former “opposition” party they got on the take in the 80s to accomplish this coup.

Welcome to the party most have willfully ignored, hoping to be a big winnah in a sea of exploited losers.

Sad most just want to back this off to the neoliberal policies that set the table for this and call that victory, when we need a new framework, something between the New deal and Norway. Unless we socially enfranchise our society from the bottom up with tangible, economic support, and start judging the health of our society by our worst off members, we’d meet right back here after another 10-15 years of the well bribed good cop party(D) being just dandy with murder for profit health insurance schemes and our most betrayed neighbors dying under our crumbling freeways.

Centimillionaire and proud neoliberal Nancy Pelosi spent the months before Trump took power safeguarding the levers of Congressional power… From AOC.

This constitution has failed. It failed decades ago, but few were willing to acknowledge the ugly truth. If you don’t accept that as a starting point if you’re American, you’re still digging.

What an embarrassing way to go extinct.

Sometimes I tell myself this must be one of those “great filters,” then I just can’t believe that it’s common for a species capable of terraforming their world would be dumb enough to do it in reverse eyes wide open, like crawling towards a cliff shouting “nooooooooo!”

I can’t picture the future dolphin people doing it.

Glad I went Emby.

This capitalist coup started under Reagan. Trump has been courted by Putin since the 90s.

If people realized how serious this shit was, Wall Street and the capital markets would have been righteously burned to cinder years ago.

Instead they laughed at those protesting it, I was there.

We’re hopeless. We’ll be breathing capitalist climate change made dustbowl fumes, drinking unregulated leaded water, and still showing up to our jobs running up the owners’ ego scores even as said owners retreat to their luxury bunker complexes to bark their orders remotely in an attempt to pretend everything is fine.

We’re a pathetic people. Not entirely our fault, the capitalists have been sabotaging public Ed to keep us stupid, willfully ignorant, largely hostile towards critical thinking, and cut their taxes for a century, but we are a pathetic people.

Now the French, There’s a model of how a society needs to act when their greed class gets out of line.
