  • I personally have pity for rank and file Republican voters.

    They were simply easy marks our education system intentionally failed to teach critical thinking and reason to because obedient laborers don’t need that, and were then spoonfed sensationalist lies that appealed to their fears and anxieties, the easiest avenues for indoctrination, for the last half century under the guise of being “news” for the private profit of private shareholders and to turn them into useful idiot dependable votes for those same private shareholders.

    As just one in an ocean of examples, Fox “News” has been telling these poor sad bastards that “man made climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books!”

    Developing World: You stole our water and supported the installation of brutal but market friendly leadership that’s friendly to exploiting our resources and people for foreign profit! We’re desperate and dying!

    Market Capitalist World: glug glug glug sorry, we couldn’t hear you over all this thirst quenching!


  • I don’t want Trump to be assassinated.

    I want him to die of a heart attack on the toilet or in prison, though I doubt the second one is possible because rich asshole.

    Assassinations make martyrs. I want his base to get tired of worshipping a feeble old man and move on.

    What I DON’T want is him being elevated as the Republican mascot on t-shirts and signs as the defacto symbol of their idiocy for the rest of MY life. When this cycle is over, I really don’t want to have to see his face again, let alone as the newest iteration of the confederate battle/don’t tread on me flag they wave around town to be annoying.

    Let him be forgotten and fade into obscurity. It’s what he wouldn’t want the most.

    Humans aren’t saying that, our habitat is in response to our actions, as translated by scientist’s measurements.

    We can stop. We should stop. We won’t stop.

    If that means you want to call our planet an eco-terrorist, that’s actually kind of funny. This isn’t about humans killing humans. This is about Humans attacking our only habitat as we rely on it for every breath we take and every bite we take, and our habitat responding predictably to our actions.

    It’s not about justice. It’s about homeostasis. The guy and possibly his kids will be fine in their luxury climate bunkers as the world grows more bleak and they bark orders remotely until there’s no one left alive or dumb enough to keep listening.

    The thing is though, what we’ve done and are doing right now will take millions of years to heal. Nothing to Earth’s 3.8 billion year old story of life, but effectively eternity to our monkey brains. I just don’t see our species putting down our shovel and living within our ecological means when that would mean necessary decline in our quality of life and intentional population control over time. We were warned for a century. We are feeling the effects. Scientists are noting new runaway effects conservative estimates didn’t account for. We need to stop 30 years ago, and we won’t even stop today.

    I don’t consider it justice, I consider it wholesale refusal as a species to live within our ecological means. We just keep digging, and the consequences, the physics, don’t care why.

    Capitalism: “Growth or die!”

    Earth: I mean… If that’s how it’s gotta be, you little assholes🤷👋🔥

    It’s kind of gallows hilarious that for all the world’s religions worshipping ridiculous campfire ghost stories, we have a creator, we have a remarkable macro-organism mother consisting of millions of species, her story of hosting life going back 3.8 billion years, most living in homeostasis with their ecosystem.

    But to our actual, not fucking ridiculous works of lazy fiction creator, Earth, we literally choose to treat her like our property to loot, rape, and pillage thoughtlessly, and continue to act as a cancer upon her eyes wide open. We as a species are so fucking weird, and not the good kind.


  • To be fair, there’s a lot of GREAT shows that needed a few episodes to a season to really find themselves.

    Rick and Morty took half a season, Supernatural was a slog for over a season until it started leaning into having fun instead of just brooding, the Doctor Who Reboot’s production values are distracting for the first season, on and on.

    Honestly, the best shows seem to need to go on a bit of a vision quest early on.
