a few things here fwiw: first, one reason Harris voters might abandon fascist friends under a fascist regime is that those friends are super dangerous. they've said they will hurt you; you can believe them. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/it-may-not...
Tiktok's algorithm insisting that i consume nothing but political doomscrolling is really fucking with my mental health. Have y'all just deleted algo-driven apps as a result, as I'm tempted to do now?
if the only way one can be electable in a particular society is to capitulate to fascism, that society needs to be burned to the ground.
if that's true, i'll cross that bridge when i get there, but i dont believe that. there's enough genuinely good people left in the world to fight for it.
paying for and consuming porn is good! occasionally smoking weed and doing psychedelics in a safe environment is good!
you cant let those things distract you though from the task at hand. else, they will defang you and pacify you with your flavor of bread and circuses.
i do worry that every american countercultural movement in perpetuity will be sabotaged by their own hedonism.
and no, i dont mean drug-use, porn consumption, sex work, etc. i mean that those things and more become a primary concern to the activist above fighting injustice.
outside of being on a lease or paying for a mortgage, how does one even prove that they are not homeless?
You have to make them credibly believe that your vote is conditional, even if at the end of the day it isn't due to the powers that be.
the DNC (and also much of the RNC) exist downstream from culture. make and modify that culture to force them to the bargaining table.
sure we should vote for them if in 2026 our only electoral choice is between them and someone even more fascist than your average democratic party politician, but one of our roles as citizens is to push the needle. to make them sweat. to demand certain things be done.
crypto is one of the ex-cohost/tumblr users moral ocd mkultra activation words, along with ai. like it doesn't matter if it makes any sense the people on this website will circlejerk themselves into a fury about how bad it is. using llms to generate alt text? literally personally burning the amazon
decentralization and privacy are the most compelling cases to use crypto. major coins (btc, eth) have been out for a long time now and now that they have serious transactional power they are in all reality legitimate currencies.
its time for web 1.0 and implementing decentralized crypto transactions to circumvent the surveillance state from having full control of the internet.
Someone tell JD tgat borrowing eyeliner is unsanitary.
He never sleeps, the Vance. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never DEI.
I always saw doing any legal name change stuff as essentially registering my gender with the government *for this specific reason*.
I was told I was paranoid and I'm really tired of my paranoia being proven right.
This is getting as bad as the doomsday clock folks.... #revolution2025

ACAB spotted in Pittsburgh
the naturalization process is literal bureaucratic hell and is intentionally that way to stop people from ever actually having the civic privileges of being a citizen.
I'd take this warning to mean literally anyone traveling to the US who is not a natural-born US citizen as well.
My grandfather brags about bashing queers in the 1970s. I have not been safe a moment I moved back. I fear his and other relatives using violence to get me to comply.
Eloping feels less tenable every day that passes by. I’m fucked and I want to be put out of my misery.
I no longer know who I am. When I’m gone it’ll be like no one is lost. My identity has been stripped.
When my health forced me into cowering back to my family and live rent-free with my grandparents, I had to socially detransition, and the fear of potential death back in 2023 feels favorable to the constant suicidal ideation I deal with now. I’m not allowed to die but I really fucking want to.
the fight for you is how hard your ass is getting primaried in 2026. i’d just resign, dude. you fucked up.
You need to talk to the people in your life about what LLMs can and cannot do.
Really the long-term reason that we've coped with capitalism for so long despite its sins is the promise of innovation, and that such competition will produce said innovation that will lead to post-scarcity levels of production.
Of course when *everything* hits post-scarcity production, their money will be worth nothing and the rules of economy that they've manipulated will be obsolete. They get to just live like the rest of us then.
