  • 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.





  • 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

    FORM A UNION

    (nuclear option) introduce bedbugs to all your bosses offices


  • To be fair, if everything in the system leading up to the school is lead free there should be minimal leeching only happening in the school pipes.

    If the pipes in the school have any sediment buildup sequestering the lead from the water there would be little to no leeching.

    Definitely looks bad when you say “keep lead pipes in schools” but the reality is still something like “95% of lead removed from water coming out of school taps”

    Also, might make schools likely to remove lead pipes if the system is lead free. No point in removing lead pipes from a school if there’s +20 miles of lead pipe leading to/from the school


  • I agree, and I can’t believe I’m saying this - because the Republicans are unequivocally going full Nazi, BUT

    Republicans are doing crazy Nazi shit all the time. Yeah, the date has significance to American Nazis, and normally anything Nazi would have been publically perceived bad pre-Trump.

    Even then, the Nazi accusations are often poorly executed and come off more as “EvErYoNe On ThE rIgHt Is A nAzi” and less “You are being categorically lied to, and if you vote Republican you will be irreversibly enslaved by the business class”

    But we are so far past Republicans dancing around Nazism that complaining about sharing a Nazi date/location isn’t going to make anyone clutch their pearls and see clearly.

    Trump and the Republicans going full Nazi doesn’t have much impact to the American population because

    1. There are no consequences to being a punk ass Nazi bitch if you’re Republican, it’s actually a pre-requisite now.

    2. No one is producing content to accurately show the Republican path to Nazism, the parallels, the significance, and the danger. No mention of union riots and former working conditions in the US, nothing.

    3. Both political parties are entirely beholden to the donor class who is warming up to Nazism, which is why the Anti-Nazi rhetoric is only done in small, insignificant doses instead of a competent national Anti-Nazi campaign so Democrats have plausible deniability that they warned the public.

    People aren’t threatened by Trump and will vote for him because America doesn’t tolerate traitors, and if anything Democrats said about Trump is true, surely he would be Jailed in Guantanamo Bay by now.

    Total lack of consequences = evidence of innocence, so anything you say against Trump is hand-waved away because if anything was wrong/bad it wouldn’t be allowed.

    This logic made Trump untouchable so far.





  • Third parties in the US are almost exclusively tools for siphoning votes off the main parties.

    But if you still think government runs the show you are out to lunch. Corporations have been dictating policy for a long long time in the US, and the laws are only making it easier for corporations to directly own politicians.

    The only one who will change this is if a huge amount of voters organizing and demanding change. Like current levels Republican stochastic terrorism, but for things like healthcare, education, workers rights, consumer rights etc.

    Corporations spend a lot of time and money taking these things away from us, and we’ve been generally watching the middle class disappear for decades.

    It will take sustained, active, pressure, and vigilance from the people to make corporate money is not worth it and politicians make decisions based on benefitting their constituents.

    Unfortunately, nowadays most constituents only care about making life difficult for others instead of better for everyone including themselves.



  • I don’t particularly think his supporters matter, as they are mostly sheep and not one of the main facisim roots.

    It’s the fact that more than half of America’s entire media apparatus is entirely behind Trump.

    They dominate airwaves and have entire control over several local information ecosystems allowing them to brainwash entire populations with wall-to-wall propaganda that is completely aligned in its message of refuting and obfuscation of reality.

    Regardless if the people are racist, scared, simple minded, trained to blindly accept specific authority or whatever, is mostly irrelevant in a society with journalistic integrity, and a non-corporate/private interest owned media.

    It’s no surprise that some people believe outrageous, impossible, contradictory, claims when every reality authority available to you exclusively tells you coordinated lies.


  • Yeah, but you put a quarter in their shopping carts guys! What an organized and crime free society guys.

    Their subway is super clean guys we can’t compete with freedom like that guys.

    Guys, Tucker said groceries are cheaper than America, guys. We’ve been duped into thinking life is OK guys. But also lowering prices in America is also communism guys. Russia has literally the least communist history guys, America is the real Marxist guys.

    Trust me guys, American freedom has nothing on Ruzzian freedom guys. All of the benefits with literally 0 drawbacks guys, it’s insane how little consequences there are to living in Ruzzia guys.

    There’s nothing more free than a brutally oppressive police state run by a dictator guys, it’s the secret recipe for freedom guys. Trust me bro.
