The problem is that neoliberals will gladly hand power to fascists rather than see the pocketbooks of the wealthy affected in any way.

Just look at how the allegedly-Democratic party in the US continues to pave the way for Trump.

Religion is a tool for exploitative social control.

I’m wondering whether this is a privileged/feels like deserves privilege white guy thing.

Down here with the queerdos and minorities, I’m seeing people engage more fully with each other, be more willing to take on friends and lovers, in the last few months.

Some are getting caught by chat bots, yes, but a lot of people are out there trying to grab human connection while we still can.

I certainly feel like the “I’m the übermensch and revel in cruelty, empathy is a weakness” mentality that the straight basic wypipo have adopted will not only discourage other people from wanting to be their friend, but also discourages themselves from seeking friendship, because they see it as a weakness.

Conservatives are fucking insane. They’re about to get the chance to really wallow in their own shit now.

How long until we see goiters and pellagra making a comeback in Texas?

That isn’t both-sidesing.

I said that Harris was clearly better overall. I have a preference and I acted on it, which is the opposite of what both-sidesing is trying to achieve.

However, on the particular issue of genocide in Gaza, I only see differences in rhetoric, not differences in behavior.

I was gonna get snooty about being an indie game buyer, then I remembered that I bought a Larian game developed in partnership with Hasbro, so my snootiness will have to wait for another day.

Ha as if

I’m neither a man nor a Christian tho.

Dude you’re either thinking emotionally or being disingenuous. Take a step back.

I voted for Harris.

But can you explain exactly how things would have gone differently in Gaza other than the rhetoric if Harris had won? She was all in on the genocide just like Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, etc.

Just because Harris was clearly the better choice overall doesn’t mean she (and Biden) wasn’t and isn’t dead wrong about their fealty to Netanyahu.

Haha keep dancing for your new master, Bezos. Fuckhead.

The Navy really really does suck at procurement.

I mean it’s nice that he had a bad day, but ain’t shit gonna happen other than the legal fees.

I don’t think anybody who administers a mastodon server thinks it’s superior technology.

What mastodon isn’t is funded by fashy techbro asswipe VCs who will turn it into a torment nexus over time, just like X and Meta and Alphabet.

So Mastodon will continue to attract a small minority of people who don’t feel safe or wanted on a fashbro site. And that’s fine. I want to talk to people who think I’m human, not a bunch of Andrew Tate gargling fuck heads.
