The far right alliance is already struggling, and they haven’t even made it into office yet. lol
If we pay attention to the infighting and all the circus we will hope the explode and not pay attention to what they are actually doing. Fucking over the common people and taking more than they should with a pen rather than a sword.
Oh please. Their climate policies alone will fuck over the entire globe. I don’t give a fuck anymore because this species is clearly fucking lost.
User name absolutely checks out.
I mean that’s just throwing your hands up and giving up. Does it suck? Yes. Is it what we wanted? No. But does giving up do ANYTHING?
Maybe not what you and me wanted, but certainly the majority of humans on this planet. And what am I supposed to do aside from the things I’ve already been doing? I’m already poor, so my emissions are a fraction of that of the average person, and I vote for green candidates & parties, who have no to barely any chance to achieve anything.
We were on our way to 3 degrees Celsius globally BEFORE all this already, which would be already devastating, so how the hell is the world now supposed to not just do better than that, but also compensate for all of the US emissions on top of that?
No one wants to do anything, at least not enough, not what would be needed - because that would ultimately affect everyone.
Get armed and trained?
Not possible and I fail to see how that’s going to help.
You seem like a devoted environmentalist, and someone who understands that poverty is a hard trap to shake your leg out of. I support strong social safety nets like basic income so no one is put in your position.
But let’s get real. It’s not possible due to your location or finances? How would it help? You could stand with the rest of us when the shitstorm finally comes to our doors and fight.
But for now, especially if you don’t have regular work, look into local mutual aid. You don’t have to pay any money to join, or even start something. You just have to show up and help your community. If you start by picking up litter, someone is going to stop and say thank you. You can turn that moment into something different. Pressure them and say hey could you help me do this on Saturday? If you get then in then your can become friends. They will be abhorrent of your poverty and maybe try to help. Just roll the snowball. It’s easier said than done I know.
It’s like they have an asshole purity test, and Musk is too much of an opportunistic asshole and not enough of a racist asshole to meet their standards.
Imagine being the wrong kind of asshole and being told you’re no longer welcome at the asshole club.
This makes me wonder… would I rather have the real-life supervillains like Musk who end up causing massive amounts of damage for no reason or comic book ones like (some versions of) Lex Luthor who ultimately want to better humanity, they just don’t care who they have to hurt to get us there?
I mean, supervillains often turn into anti-heroes. Even Lex Luthor has some ‘good guy’ arcs. Some like Dr. Doom are the mythical benevolent dictators.
Musk is absolutely a colossally racist asshole who completely meets their standards. His companies have had to settle racial discrimination cases multiple times. He’s a bigot of the highest order who can’t even get past his politics to love and accept his own daughter. Even Cheney did that when his daughter came out.
Let the games begin.
If Bannon hates Musk so much, he should walk right up to him, and punch him in the nose.
Is he still allowed on government property or did the pardon fix that too?
Guys, I don’t know if turning against President Musk is very smart…
I heard Steve Bannon can’t get it up, but that might be just a rumor. Lonnie for sure can’t get it up, but that also might be a rumor.
I know at least four men other than myself that are rumored to have noticed that both Steve Bannon and Elon Musk were afflicted with sores of the genitals that required treatment involving the vigorous application of lye using sandpaper. It’s just a rumor though.
It’s almost like a club full of insufferable hate-filled assholes can’t get along.
They’ll still manage to loot the Treasury to the tune of a few trillion and get Democrats begging them for their votes in another two years.
Heck, not even two of them (Marj and Bobo the Qbert) seem to be able to get along - when it comes to being the Queen Qaren, there can only be one!
The difference is obvious once you take a closer look. One of them looks like a librarian with guns, the other looks like a thawed genetic missing link.
Fuck that shit they are the fucking same.
man they HATE immigration
And yet elected the guy who married two different immigrants.
Only when the immigrants are not white.
Except for their own immigration, or that of their parents, grandparents etc.
Love talking about it, hate seeing it.
rich people don’t immigrate, they expatriate
This is another “argument” that would be easily settled if things were even half as bad as the broligarchs claim (which it isn’t). All they have to do - let people PERMANENTLY migrate here from countries like India if they have certain skills. Without being the least BIT beholden to a company when they migrate, too.
Are they proposing that? Fuck no, they aren’t. They want indentured servants at the beck and call of corporate rule, and they want them there as as threat and leverage to lower the salaries of American citizens.
Also, for the nationalist xtians (the NatCs), I’m sure their head just about wants to explode when we are talking about more brown people here, because, at least in the Mexican or South/Central American immigrant case, chances are pretty good they will be brown, yes, but quite possibly xtian and even conservative. In the case of Indians, what are the chances they’ll be xtian?
You give them too much credit. I’d say it goes on a scale like:
Hates brown people - can’t distinguish between a Honduran and an Indian
Hates brown people - Indians are fine they can’t ruin our country like Hondurans
Hates brown people - We can make mad money off Indians and Hondurans by structuring laws that make them insecure!

Elmo will get what he pays for, but maybe not in such blatant manner.
Guess who’s back?
Back again?
Bannon’s back, Bannon’s back, Bannon’s back…
I created a monster cuz nobody wants to see Bannon anymore…
Bannon? The lecherous old anemic poxxed lout from the sewer? That Bannon?
Rub my back
Rub my back
Rub my back
We should never have visas tied to employment. It’s too abuse-prone. Give people 5-year visas, and after that, citizenship.
Many employers will fuck with imported labor if given the chance. This hurts honest employers and destroys lives.
I work at an MSP and we have a user that gets stuck in his native country for a few months every few years when his visa expires. Getting him set up remotely to work in situations like that is nearly impossible. I’m just waiting for the day he tells us that he’s stuck there for good. Poor guy just wants to do his job
Yeah it’s so fucking abusive, by the country, not the company. If he’s that good, FFS he deserves citizenship yesterday.
This man is great at his job. He’s a pain to troubleshoot computer issues for because his computer is in mostly Chinese, so we have to have him translate a lot of it, but he doesn’t call often so it isn’t a thing we regularly deal with.
Meanwhile he’s just kicking it, getting paid in Pakistan like oops I can’t get a connection again. Let’s try tomorrow.
I’m just kidding. Nothing against Pakistanis but everything against corporations. What the fuck is an MSP? You’re just going to drop that like we should know what it is?
You launch kayaks. Rich and white confirmed. Hahaha holy shit. 1 2 3 4.
What, I mean Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.
-
MSP is a common acronym in business, from small businesses to Fortune 500s.
-
Kayaks are cheap and aren’t remotely exclusive to white people you racist little shit.
-
Bro what?
Untie healthcare from employment first, please
Many employers will fuck with imported labor if given the chance.
That was why the H1-B program was designed the way it is.
MAGA is not imploding give me a break. This is exactly what 2016 to 2020 was like. Absolute children causing chaos and suffering with their petty bullshit and planet sized egos. The Trump administration was a revolving door.
Nobody proves how inept the government can be quite like a republican.
I’ll believe it when I see it, but it’s a tiny bit of silver lining. Won’t make a measurable difference though.
Imploding, infinitely into itself, sucking in and destroying anything around it. A political black hole.
They are going to fall in line.
