I'll point out that democrats might very well actually vote for this so we'll see how that goes. But while this is just fascism on the face of it, as a side effect the Republicans will use this to ban liberals and any non fascist ideologies.
So it'll be interesting to see what's next.
the need for things to be "profitable" rather than "useful" or "necessary" has been a disaster for the human race, and yet another sign we gotta ditch capitalism ASAP
I think it speaks to how fundamentally colonialist my country is that we speak positively of our country's OWN colonization. We thank the Romans for coming here and "civilizing" our "primitive, barbaric" country, as if the Celts didn't build cities of their own, didn't have culture or industry.
Notice that Boudicca - despite being, by all accounts, about the most natively Briton it's possible to be - is not a national hero for trying to cast the Romans off her peoples' land. "Casting out evil foreigners" is basically the most heroic thing you can do in this shitass country, and yet...
Thiel is an existential threat to humanity, and it’s not an exaggeration to say so.
The statement really drives it home. I don’t know if Thiel’s brain is just completely cooked by this technological singularity notion and he’s cynically using apocalyptic Christian doctrine to further his goals or if he’s mingled the two in his head, but at this point it hardly matters.
I’ve known Palantir was evil for a long time, but reading their technological republic statement, when combined with the fact that Thiel is going around giving speeches on the Antichrist and allying himself with rapture theologians… Palantir is an apocalyptic death cult with god-like technology.
Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad
cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life
I love you all
I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear
I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness
for a couple of weeks when the NYPD was on strike, we got to see exactly what happens in a world where policing didn't exist: crime went down until they stopped their strike and went back to work
Upon learning what cops really do vs the portrayal of them I realized their true purpose is crowd control via violence and suppression of the underclass.
The idea they give a shit about victims of violence is PR.

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.
Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.
And then there's this...
Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
ANCIENT GREEK PRO WRESTLING PROMOTER: ok so you're going to be what's known as a "heel"
ACHILLES: fuck you
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
An adorable raccoon.

I have a theory that all anarchists have fucked up teeth because untreated long-term tooth pain is one of the most radicalizing things that can happen to you
