Not voting has the same consequences, so those aren’t too smart either.
Gen Z are entitled like boomers, but with almost no economic prospects outside their parents.
Which makes sense, since loads of Gen Z were priced out of a future before they could even start earning, so there’s no point in giving effort
At least Trump will guarantee Gen Z nearly unlimited well paying work if they’re interested in bounty hunting immigrants and tracking fertility
What better way to oppress women than by making it illegal to not have your child with you.
Women better get ready to be accosted by police asking where their child is - and if you don’t have one you’ll be entered into the police lottery where everyone at the station gets a chance bestow a child upon you before you can leave.
“as it would require congressional action to accomplish legally”
I’m absolutely certain the most crime ridden, corrupt, untouchable person in history who is exclusively fueled by revenge and powerlust would be successfully confined by the law after the supreme court explicitly stated that doesn’t matter for presidents.
Yup, he sure learned his lesson that rules and laws absolutely apply to him and there’s no point in trying to outrun justice if you’re wealthy and connected.
Honestly, blame the media for this one.
They talked about project 2025 for maybe 10 days and spent the rest of the time ignoring the absolute fact that concrete steps are being taken across the board to end democracy and impose a Christian theocracy as fast as possible.
There was no concentrated effort to warn Americans of the very real threat Trump is, and what absolutely will happen if he won the election.
All the public saw was a witch hunt against Trump that went nowhere as he promised to be a dictator and change the fundamental structure of the United stated to further billionaire interests, and the actual reality of this was never explicitly stated.
News media is responsible for educating the population, with standards on the quality and accuracy of the information, but neither side will ever do any such thing.
Both political parties and every news medium are completely corporately owned and will never platform something that threatens their control.
“Canadian” mining companies - any country on earth can have a licensed business in Canada for the change you find in your couch. Seems to be especially popular for mining companies.
This one actually used to be a full on Canadian mining company (INCO) before it got bought out by a Brazilian company called Vale limited.
There’s plenty of tax havens already, so Canada went all in on shell corporations for money laundering (especially real estate) and using Canadas positive global image to hide the true owners of a business.
But doesn’t Trump hate China?
Obviously he’s extremely succeptable to bribery/flattery etc so he could easily “art of the deal” Taiwan off to China.
Personally I feel like he’s definitely having a vindictive king renaissance so I’m expecting a lot of inflexible decisions made entirely on impulse - because that’s exactly what the people want.
Don’t know if I see him going to war with China as getting bribed is better than fighting and potentially losing. Plus, fighting implies you don’t have enough power/influence to win without fighting and Trump is all about projecting power.
If he does want war, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an American foreign legion formed out of the 20 million immigrants he wants to deport
Hate to break it to ya, but believing things that are easily, verifiably, false because you prefer the narrative is very “IN” right now.
We left confirmation bias in the rear view mirror and are now actively embracing reality speculation where anything can be true/false if more than one person/bot agrees with it.
Women are easy, natural, targets for Conservatives.
Beyond that? Disability, Left handedness, a grandfather who did yoga once, someone wasn’t enthusiastic enough during the 2 minutes hate, they’ll never run out of outsiders to invent and demonize!
Isn’t the “legal justification” they used not including ‘Federal officers’ on their list of ‘category of persons’ allowed to be present during voting?
So they intentionally passed an (illegal) law that forbids the DOJ from overseeing the election process because oopsey daisy we totally didn’t mean to write a law that breaks the law!
But if you could honor our intentionally broken law while we’re committing the specific crimes you are here to prevent, that’d be super lawful of you.

“All white ppl look the same!”

A good chunk of Trump’s cancer is caused by terrible left wing policy.
I hate Trump and everything about the far right, but I can understand people falling in love with the idea of a strongman who will cut through bullshit and do what people want.
The left is supposed to mitigate income inequality, and make life good for their citizens.
Both left/right idealogies are entirely owned by corporate interests across the globe - this is the crux of the entire issue.
The problems facing the middle class are entirely artificial and intentional. There are a myriad of reasons, but the end result is that we have one societies/laws/reality for the wealthy, and a completely different set of rules for the population.
The left promises to solve everything with equality and the right promises to resolve everything with hierarchy.
Neither idealogy has any intention of doing anything but funnel as much money/power to big business until their political careers are done.
The obvious difference is the “Right” idealogies are objectively bad for everyone but the ultra wealthy. Unfortunately being ultra wealthy gives you the ability to own national anti-reality propaganda networks.
Still a tough line to toe.
South Korea can undoubtedly roll North Korea. But North Korea + China + Ruzzia is much harder to contend with.
NK is benefitting from actively trading with first world economies in a meaningful way and will likely be heavily updating their military and spycraft capabilities.
This will blow back way harder on Israel than America.
Ignoring all politics, logistically this war is a rounding error in the Pentagon’s budget. America can and often does absolutely anything it wants to anyone at any point in time - and the only thing stopping it is how it feels about a subject at any given moment.
Israel is tiny and surrounded by enemies who they are pissing off.
For the record I am entirely opposed to Israel committing genocide and America funding it.
This is more of a comment on the efficacy of having several media apparatus boast unified lies without consequences.
The absolute lack of consequences for blatantly lieing, omitting truth, falsifying information, and ignoring reality is why we are in this mess.
This can definitely be applied to both left and right, but the Left master plan seems to be “tolerance for all” and the Right master plan seems to be some hybrid business/monarchy system that obviously is trying to enslave 99% of the population.
This toss up is only possible with half the population living in an alternate reality without realizing it.
I’m pending diagnosis for ADHD but if I had to take a stab at it I’d say both groups have tasks they simply can/cannot do without some kind of help or personal system of ways to accomplish any number of things
Something unifying about having obtuse yet ironclad processes for doing things that should be simple and others find baffling
The memes are pretty good here too!
Was surprised at how unbothered the building was by those bombs
I suppose it doesn’t matter that the building is still standing if everyone’s organs are liquefied.
I can’t decide if it’s better to leave a strategic position (that’s easy to bomb) standing for repeat business, or if levelling the building is the overall better strategy
Either way, those were some accurate strikes!
Go into the office and waste every resource you can.
Plug in a fan + heater + aquarium + massage pad at your desk and leave everything on constantly even when you leave
Print every email and throw it in the trash.
Make coffee 50x a day and pour it down the sink
Flush a whole roll of TP every hour
Leave sinks on in the bathroom
Use entire tubs of soap to wash your hands
Turn on the microwave for hours at a time
Heat/cool office thermometer to force HVAC into overdrive
Open new browser windows until your computer crashes and repeat until the network goes down
Company wide meme emails that everyone participates in (team building) that crash servers and dominate inboxes
Pour sugar/crumbs everywhere so there’s pest problems
Accept every phishing email
Put USB sticks found on the ground into your work computer
Open the door for strangers who want to get in the building without a badge
FORM A UNION
(nuclear option) introduce bedbugs to all your bosses offices
This isn’t aimed at the idiots who would line up around the block and work for free to be called high IQ by Musk. Doesn’t really matter though, it’s all performative
They already know exactly what they want to cut, and billionaires don’t need a salary to realize profits from deregulation.
The job being “no salary” isn’t indicative of how cost effictive a volunteer public servant could be - it is a dinner bell for the wealthy
