Hol’ up

Why am I just now learning Kojima was involved in this game?

Welp…

I guess I know what I’m playing after I get done screaming inappropriately loud after I get bullshitted for the 10th time in a row in Elden Ring DLC.

“Why is it always weak foe?”

Rumor has it… Meatball Ron blew his brains out last October

What a loser

I’m just envisioning Trump coming over to Biden’s makeup/prep room, whatever they get, before the debate to say good luck in private and just let him know it’s nothing personal between them. While they’re chatting Biden is getting layers upon layers of makeup caked on and Trump is just nervously inching closer and closer to Joe’s water bottle with a tiny bottle of visine eye drops. Just enough to fuck him up and counteract the speedball.

(Not being overly contentious here. Please don’t read it that way)

Many plant species, as the above poster alluded to, are at least as “sentient” as an oyster or other “lower order” animals. They respond to stimuli, etc.

There’s also fungi. Again I could make a very compelling argument that many fungi are at least parallel with animals such as oysters on the scale of sentience.

Dietary reasons are one thing, I just mean on the side of “I don’t want to eat an animal” how many people would say that but never object to eating mushrooms?

Is there a diet that clearly defines acceptable animals to eat based on perceived sentience? This would probably be my strongest argument against strict veganism. It’s possible to be a non-vegan who eats animals like oysters, maybe snails, maybe even insects. Kinda spirals into “here’s a small book I wrote on what animals I’ve personally deemed ok to eat” but I think the overall point is clear hopefully.

“We’ll simply continue to do nothing even though we hold the executive office, and if we just keep sternly telling the Republicans that this is wrong and bad they will eventually stop!”

Imagine if Lincoln, after the confederate states declared their independence from the United States, had just said “gosh darn gee wilikers! There’s nothing I can do because it would be mean and make me an authoritarian tankie!”

There are times to play by the rules and there are times to give up the delusion that both sides are even pretending there are rules and that time came decades ago. I also believe in judging people by their actions rather than rhetoric and cheap talk. Trump has talked the talked and walked the walk as far as he could. I believe him. Biden says he opposes trump, yet does absolutely fucking nothing to stop him when he holds all the power. My own internal logic forces me to see that these two people aren’t on opposite sides of anything… their disagreements amount to more of inner party squabbling than anything substantive.

All I know is Biden has about 5 months left before Trump might win the election in which he could sign an EO declaring the Trump admin including the president himself to be terrorists and then have them taken out. If he and the dems really really really believe all the shit they say will happen will actually happen, well, you’ve run out the clock on institutional power stopping him. The institutions just said he did nothing wrong and never can effectively. But they also said it about you, Joey. You’re also 8000 years old. Just do it.

Imagine Matt Miller and Kirby telling the press gaggle that there would be an internal investigation into the alleged drone striking of an ex-president

“It’s tough cookies, folks. Look. Donald Trump wasn’t a good guy. And hey, I get it, and we’re investigating. But you know what? I don’t hear any of you talking about what he did on Jan 6. Did you forget? I didn’t and President Biden didn’t either. It’s a tragic thing that his entire extended family is dead. I agree! But let’s not forget who he was and what he did. It’s real tough, folks. So let the pentagon look into it, and we’ll let you know. Alright anymore questions? No more about Trump.”

I encourage Joe Biden to gather all the right wing state governors and every single Republican he can for a grand July 4th celebration with an announcement. Tell them he wants to discuss something with immigration and funding from the federal government… that’ll probably get them to show up. Just a big ol’ freedom BBQ in and around the Capitol building.

And then he can do the funniest thing in history

If that had The Onion on top I’d say it was a passable parody of insane 2008-2012ish right wingers when “OBAMNA IS THE ANTEEE CHRIST!” was all they could ever come up with. Trump really saved those dumbasses from themselves more than they know

If they want to scare me they need better examples than Trump promising to destroy the worst humans in the country

Obviously Trump sucks, etc. etc.

But pearl clutching and hand wringing over the fantasy demise of the Cheneys or the Bidens or the Clintons isn’t gonna win many allies. Everyone knows these people are dogshit and we don’t even need a trial to find them guilty. Their guilt has been broadcast publicly for decades

Basically they’ll just blame “the left” (reminder that the left essentially doesn’t exist in the US. Certainly it has no political power. There are like 5 vaguely socdem people in congress and that’s it)

There has been an ongoing McCarthyite anti-communism or really just anti-left hegemony since the last Red Scare that has only recently in the last ~10 years started to fracture even in the slightest where it has become acceptable in non-MSM to discuss obvious concepts like the adversarial relationship between labor and owner classes. This simultaneously scares all the olds and, strong Venn diagram overlap (shoutout Kamala she loves Venn diagrams) infuriates them.

There’s absolutely going to be more and more overt oppression to anything “left.” “No more Marxist studies?” One might be tempted to think… nah. Remember the liberals, reactionaries they are, consider everything on that list to be “left.” The republicans/far right liberals have already begun this strong overt McCarthy revival in earnest and recently on the issue of Zionism and its utter rejection by younger Americans the democrats/liberals have thrown out any and all notion of having tolerance for any sort of left movements or even leftist study, thought, etc. And to them, one can’t forget, non-“Western” aka non-white centric thought, non-USA dominant thought, etc. in that vein, is “leftist thought” that more and more are simply saying “no more” to.

The far right in the US has totally and fully taken over the window of acceptable discourse, again seen most recently regarding Israel and Palestine, and the resolution to this will be more and more harsh state pressure placed on people who continue to not simply shut the fuck up about the evils of empire. They’ll all be called “the left” and all actions seen as necessary to shut them up will be employed… by people with D or R after their names.

The outcome could be a full unification of all the vaguely-left movements and sort of a “Castro being forced to go commie” moment… but, the more likely outcome considering the current political miseducation situation in the US and the lack of any socialist, communist, or even leftist anarchist substantial organization is mass (further) oppression based on identities you listed, strict outlawing or other subduing of all leftist discourse (or anything close: labor unions banned from discussing real, actual labor dynamics), etc.

In short, massive purges, crushing all budding organization, similar to the past but because there doesn’t really exist the organization that had existed in the past (black panthers, etc.) to be crushed, the crushing will be much more random-seeming, more broadly applied, what is seen or deemed of “the left” will be a wide wide net and has all the potential to just spiral in straight mass hysteria of “Chinese infiltration!”

I hope all of that doesn’t happen, but at this point what other direction seems possible and probable… the only question is the timeline of events.

In the most short: we’re fucked. This isn’t dooming, I see potential ways out and we should be pushing for whatever holds off the worst excesses of liberal hysteria, it’s just the way things are going. I wish it weren’t true, I wish we had a solid core of dedicated would-be soldiers in the future protracted people’s war… but that’s just wishing and dreaming.

He’s been raspy like that for years now

I don’t remember when it started, he didn’t seem to have that before getting elected, but at some point he just started coughing all the time and sounds like he does have a cold (but it can’t be a cold for years)

Anyway, the cold stuff is just pure cope from the libs. They only “coincidentally” released from the WH that he had a cold after seeing grandpa Joe up there slack-jawed, raspy, talking about sisters raping immigrants or whatever the fuck

Don Jr will be managing Trump’s coke intake

The face off of the fail sons by proxy of their fathers

Jesus Christ

This was a full dose of lib-virus

Glad I got my anti-lib vaccine, although I did feel a tinge of something before the burnt toast smell became overwhelming, my vision went red, and I just heard “red sun in the sky” in my head

If she runs and Trump apologizes for not locking her up last time and promises to do it this time… might have to push that button… bait too good

Why not both 🤷

Biden is the “liberal Zionist” option that is “critical of the extremists like Bibi! But still supports Israel!”

Trump is the “uh, I have no idea wtf those whacky Jews are doing, and I don’t care. Jared, figure that shit out. I don’t want to hear about it again” insane dumbass that will cause essentially the same result as Biden in the end, but somehow more unhinged (which does seem impossible, but I have all the faith in Trump to be more unhinged).

Either way, whoever wins, Zionists are winning. Well, I personally think they’re losing (or have lost) long term, but they will be getting a president who will support them without question basically.

Yeah, I didn’t really mean they did this fully on purpose, although it reads that way, I just meant like whatever they were doing obviously imploded immediately (maybe the meth serum was off) and the CNN producers/talking heads (and across the DNC broadly) immediately jumped into “replace him!” mode. Now that Biden, his team, and other high up dems have seemingly squashed this easy way out for them, they’ll probably just see if they get a passable second debate and then do what I was saying.

And just to be clear, I don’t think this was all pre-orchestrated. I think many of these CNN types were delusional and then when they saw his performance totally unedited and live, they said “well, obviously that’s a fucking wrap!” But since they’re such cucks to power when Biden and others said he will remain they just immediately backed down like “oh, sorry, we’re still rooting for Joe!” And next debate, if he does a passable job, will be their reason to say he still has it, they judged too early, etc.

I highly encourage them to keep pumping him with experimental blends of amphetamines and other uppers. Just go full Hitler’s doctor mode. Let’s see how far we can push his corpse

Imagine being so annoying while claiming to be the son of god that everyone is eventually like “ok, can we fucking crucify this guy already?” then the motherfucker (literally, god fucked mary, and Jesus is god… 🤨) has the audacity to be like “it’s ok, my friends. I will die for your sins!” That would be enough for me to be the guy begging the Roman soldiers to stab him in the liver or something to cause additional pain.

I also self-deluded myself into believing Cato was the not the inspiration for that name…

Wasn’t Cato the insanely misogynistic dumb fuck (even by Roman standards) that would always whine about women existing and then demand Carthage be destroyed (eventually, famously, this happened)

Guy was a total shitter and asshole. A legendary one that is remembered thousands of years later for his insane rants.

Obama is basically Jesus to liberals. If he would have said fuck the POTUS term limits amendment and just ran anyway we may well be voting him in for his 5th term… he’s incredibly popular despite doing essentially nothing of value. His Iran negotiations got undermined by Trump literally day one. The ACA (Obamacare) was always dogshit, and has only been further made into dogshit by the courts with zero meaningful pushback from Biden ie telling the courts to suck him which he should always be doing for good stuff… but only does for bad stuff. Like sending bombs and then ignoring all the human rights organizations reporting massive violations constantly.

But anyway, yeah, politicians like Biden run on how many dollars they can raise when campaigning. Biden does ok on that front, obviously Zionists will be dumping money on him, but Barrack and Michelle can raise so fucking much cash and they collectively hold a special almost Hollywood level of celebrity in the eyes of liberals. I wouldn’t say his word is the word of god necessarily, but he holds incredible sway (along with Bill Clinton somefuckinghow) as far as being like a false promise of turning back the clock to 2008… god, what Americans would give to just turn back the clock. Vote Biden ™️ Hey, Obama is a guy! Pretend it’s 2008. Everything is fine.
