Binary thinking is inherently limiting for complex issues, we aren’t computers we don’t need to look at everything like a boolean

This fact is an assault on my psychological well being. I can’t possibly be this old

We crossed that Rubicon a while back

This is confusing especially in juxtaposition to the peaceful protesting on behalf of immigrants in the US this week

No chance that more than a fourth of them realize it’s from the Cold War and originally mean nations that were neither in the sphere of Soviet or American interest. They just think it means poor country with brown people

On our way to the Second American Civil War being center stage for WW3

I’m torn on this, I agree with your point and think it’s important to not do what the fascists want, provide an excuse to escalate violence further, but also they have been escalating all on their own and folks attending should be prepared for that escalation. Everyone has got to make their own decisions, I’ll be there with bells on but shit could get really dicey so I cant blame anyone that wants to keep their kids at home.

I get the feeling that Saturday is gonna be fucking wild

Long running military in joke is that Marines are crayon eaters

I looked and I honestly hope you’re right and it’s all Russian trolls, I know it’s a cult but the sycophantic nature of people like that is deeply upsetting

That one has quite a few more steps, AT&T had to re-acquire Southern Bell>Bellsouth, Southwestern Bell, MCI, and a bunch of other subordinate companies to resurrect the reality of Ma’Bell

He’s not wrong

Really hope y’all are able to right that specific ship, we’re gonna need help but I also just wouldn’t wish this on anyone

When you say they, do you mean Americans paying attention, Trump voters and supporters, or the assholes making these decisions?

The first group are painfully aware of how fucked we are, the second MIGHT when they lose their home/job or have a loved one hauled away to a concentration camp but even then they might never because pro American propaganda has burrowed itself so deeply into their minds they truly believe the exceptionalism horseshit, the third either knows and is fine with it because they are just trying to consolidate power or is one of the ignorant true believers like the second group.

I fucking hate my country

Sounds like a not-deer

I’m pro nuclear energy as a whole but the limited oversight part is, putting it lightly, mind meltingly frightening
