publications love doing that shit lol. the whole concept of a carbon footprint was invented to make individual people feel personally responsible for climate change even though corporations pollute 100x more.
Severance is an incredible show. One of the best ever made tbh and it's only on its second season.
i'm interested in seeing how people who voted for him are going to rationalize their support when the tariffs are pushed to consumers to cover. goods and services are going to increase in price and instead of it being due to a series of complicated events that the president is of course involved in it'll be directly Trump's fault. explain that away, please.
a sampling of my favorite singles this month in no particular order. what were some of your most played songs of January? :D
she had a two or three week period of support and then she completely ruined it by promising to capitulate to the right and reaffirmed America's prepardness for war. i saw leftists of all types say they were willing to vote for her as a means to reject fascism if she listened to their concerns. there were tons of jokes about "letting liberals have this one" and the discomfort of having to align with liberals on something. it wasn't every leftist, of course, but.. i'll speak as myself i wasn't expecting Biden to drop out so him actually fucking off gave me the smallest twinkle of hope lol. then it was obliterated. she campaigned with Liz Cheney. Liz. Cheney. great job. very smart of you.
i appreciate you reading my post. thanks.
depends on what you mean. the principles which guide my morals only change when presented with significant reason to. i identify as a leftist in the political sense because it is where my beliefs closely align. communism doesn’t own the ideas central to my beliefs, and as i learn more about what it means to be a communist and how that group defines itself, i may find myself at odds with their overall interpretation and implementation of leftism.
i used to call myself a communist and now i don’t. i wouldn’t say ive become “less” of anything that i previously was when i wore the communist label. one reason i stopped is i simply don’t feel it appropriate to refer to myself as a commie because i don’t put much weight behind what Marx or Engels said in the 1800s as a person living in 2025 and i noticed a lot of modern communists live and breathe for their philosophical analysis.
but im still the leftist i was prior. if anything i have gotten further left since 2016 lol.
it’s already been mentioned in a comment but recycling isn’t nearly as helpful as it was intended to be and often acts like a bandage on a festering wound. we just move non-recyclable plastic from one area to another. there’s no real regulation over the labels used to indicate how to recycle something, so your guidelines are often wrong. idk it just seems like we pushed for Americans to recycle and then did absolutely no follow-up on how that was going and whether it was working or not.
i’m convinced the majority of Americans simply don’t care but feel compelled to answer considering cultural morals, so they choose to express some level of disapproval. not caring here is a symptom of political apathy which is itself a symptom of a exhaustion from living under an oppressive and failed ideology. they don’t care that he died, whatever. worse things to focus on. but they “know that’s wrong” and respond to these questions in the perceived expected way.
so in my mind, the people who don’t care and the people who sympathize with the shooter likely make up more than anyone who criticizes them. i haven’t met a single person who hasn’t had a terrible experience with health insurance. we have all suffered in the health care industry. brian thompson was a social murderer and a fucking parasite.
why the hell would anyone willingly live in Florida
yup! one of the things i was thinking of when i left my comment. Americans are not told of their options because an educated population is dangerous. those in power would rather keep us exhausted and fighting with each other.
the constitution doesn’t matter anymore. i mean, honestly, i think the document is irrelevant and should be disregarded in favor of genuine progress, but members of the oligarchy are ignoring these laws to supplement their own terrible version of reality. they are making their own precedents at the expense of the American people. Trump has shown the country that if someone is powerful enough they can do whatever the fuck they want with the influence they’ve accrued.
how many have you played this yet? it’s so good! really enjoying the interactions with opponents.
paranoia is warranted when the country you live in is becoming increasingly hostile and dangerous to your existence. the kind of leftist organizing we need doesn't exist, you're right. but that doesn't matter. we can make it exist. leftist anger is growing and that is helping attract disillusioned democrats who are actually more left than their elected officials. we can form something new and real and legitimate. don't know how but.. it feels like it'll happen sooner rather than later. tensions have skyrocketed and voices are collecting.
