He’s also THE LIVING INCARNATION OF THE CHRIST and shit. don’t mock the incontinence diapers, that shit’s not funny.

the silence after this comment is called “tacit approval.” See the problem, media?

yeah p much

Rodney King.

yeh, i’m old.

inadequate measures were inadequate; nobody surprised

The idea that you’re independent is an illusion. Independence and the aspiration to it are usually just lies we tell ourselves to justify this stupid cruel system we’re using.

What are you independent from? If your grocery store runs out of food you’re still as fucked as anybody else. And in the next few years it’s likely to. There’s no such thing as independence from food. We throw out so much fucking food in this culture, but if we gave it to those guys we’d be acknowledging that feeding people is supposed to be the point of food, rather than making money, and in this culture we cannot have that, that’s an unthinkable thought.

As far as I can tell the people in those encampments just tend to be people nobody gives a shit about. That’s true independence, in a sense, but I don’t think that should be an aspiration, do you? And isn’t that one of the only actual useful functions of government, to create systems to take care of those people? I mean it’s not like they’re regulating businesses properly… anyway that’s another discussion.

I mean this is amazing. In the world of the 80s and 90s that’d be enough to destroy a company, stripped down to parts and sold off. Now in this cowardly new “too big to fail” world of Clarence Thomas-reeking doubletalk bullshit, this’d result in no consequences whatsoever

sadistic horrible place

did your town actually do anything for them or just say “hey fuck you go to this hill and stay there”

like did they follow any of the recommendations scientists make or even make one effort to do it correctly? having studied this for years, the answer is usually no

don’t forget the police! We need an outlet for our violent people, and some of them are too cowardly to join the military. Those guys need people to beat on and hurt, and if crime’s down, they’re gonna turn to other shit to get their kicks, and we don’t need them turning into pyromaniacs or terrorists just because they’re bored.

Google has been this bad since their initial IPO, when they signalled their intent to do this, and should have been stopped to protect the most useful public utility ever invented. Since that day they’ve been a pimp; the decision to become a pimp led to this.

i mean, there’s a game that’s worth not playing

representative, vs direct democracy

not that the whole edumication thing has been solved, but this shit clearly ain’t working

old people don’t have anything to do BUT vote, and bitch and moan, and most importantly to them, reminisce. Which means they won’t actually be paying attention to current events, because they think they already know everything and can’t understand new perspectives. My inlaws have members three generations older than me, and those fucking people - one of them said that she’d never bothered updating the opinions her parents gave her because “if they were good enough for them they’re good enough for me” - I mean, they’re literally living fossils, venerating the dead and having zero understanding of anything that’s happened since September 11, the last world event worth noticing in their view.

You couldn’t get three words into a discussion of some of the concerns of the modern world without their eyes glazing over. It’s not possible for them to “get it”.

idk i mean you punched your way out of a pretty thick paper bag there with Brexit, stuff happens sometimes

not good stuff, obviously, but we all know why we can’t have nice things

yes but france has balls and russia can’t even do communism right!! ;)

I’d support the abolishment of both - term limits of 0, and the move to an actual democracy, which is not what “choose which nigga talks for you” accomplishes

lmao you really ain’t payin attention there bud

how to unfind

Well I certainly hope all those pigs don’t do the same thing, but they always have a high tolerance for shame

shiiiit
