Pretty sure people who want things to go back to normal aren’t asking for share cropping to come back.
Cynical and bitter mutualist & consequentialist. I hate accelerationists and their apologists as much as I hate fascists.
I don’t have access to this account during weekends.

HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Tucker Carlson says Trump admin using Charlie Kirk’s killing to trample free speechEnglish17·24 hours agoThis man doesn’t actually meaningfully believe anything that he says. That said, what he is saying here is true.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Boost, repost, & share: Boycott DisneyEnglish3·1 day agoBoycotts on their own are not effective. They are more of a sprinkling addition to a full fledged program that includes more heavy duty tactics.
I wasn’t able to edit my post but I wanted to post an addendum so I deleted it and now I’m reposting it with the addendum and a bunch of more angry ranting:
I promise you that guy probably doesn’t actually care if we’re in fascism as long as he’s safe, well fed, and mildly entertained. He will not put his balls on the table to fight fascism. He might be annoyed that his late night cable slop has been disrupted, but that’s it.
To be clear, he doesn’t owe us anything either. He doesn’t owe us suicidal devotion to a socialist revolution against the fascists. And you would be unhinged and legitimately an immoral sociopath to think otherwise. Liberal normies do not owe us devotion to political awareness. No one chooses to be born. No one owes their lives to a cause. Rage and froth at the mouth about it all you want.
They voted for democrats, and they did not even really owe anyone even that. We could have avoided this. We could have been fighting against a liberal president. We could have built off that. Instead now we’re stuck in defense yet again and we are simply out of time. Congratulations.
And no, I wont get over it, suck the shit out of my asshole. I want good things world make no mistake, and I still feel tinges of hope when I see the Trump presidency stumble and fuck up. With hope that maybe the world can heal eventually to something that’s not intolerable, perhaps merely just mildly bad. But there is this meta-awareness of resentment overlaid on top of even that because we should not be here and we did not need to be here. And even after when the world has healed.
Even if it heal to a miraculous degree. Maybe we live in a fucking utopia at the end of this: still fuck you. I’ll be an elderly man or dead. The prime of my life wasted existing in a toxic miserable slog of a period of time because of a stupid political larpers and weak liberals couldn’t stop fucking bickering with each other and I have to stare into the abyss of people’s suffering and pain caused by this administration. And let be clear: Its not even my own pain or death. I’m living a materially better life than like 90% of you probably, but my sense of pride in my humanity is fucking dead. Everything I indulge in covered in a grey smog of “Hey I bet a bunch of Africans are going to unnecessarily starve to death because we did not like Harris enough to prevent Trump from cutting USAID haha ok enjoy your sci-fi book buddy”
Its fucking inescapable now. AGHAGHGA
They will never stop being this way.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Single Issue Brianna is worried nowEnglish1·4 days agoI’m seeing comments on here suggesting she voted for Trump, has she suggested that is the case ever? I figured she voted Harris but when Trump won she just decided to try and kiss Trump’s boot a little to keep rightwinger’s off her back, which is consistent with her immediately tweeting out that Kirk’s death is an atrocity.
I think she is just a lib that is terrified of the right and will bend over backwards to not offend them.
This for single player video games as well.
Being in a flow state is so nice and books and video games are both fertile places to achieve it.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump finally calls Russia the ‘aggressor’ in war on UkraineEnglish6·5 days agoNow that I think about it… I wonder if his stroke was partially a result of his meeting with Putin…
That should be a separate function: Muting, Ignoring, or maybe “Shadow Blocking”.
Regular Blocking should prevent direct replies completely.
EDIT: There also should be an option to make all or specific comments “Viewable by logged in & unblocked users only”. For maximum separation.
I arguably hate Maoism the most of all popular authoritarian left ideologies. So it makes sense to me that irredeemably evil and stupid conservatives and fascists would unconsciously like it’s policies.

I don’t think being a bored little kid is an excuse.
That said if you don’t do it anymore that’s a little more excusable at least you stopped.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" CrowdEnglish3·8 days agoOur nation has failed itself by letting Trump fucking win.
This assassination just makes it more likely I get dragged into violent civil conflict. One that could have been avoided had every anti-trump individual had fucking voted against him winning and they didn’t.
Kirk was a piece of shit but I wont be the accelerationist’s pawn. This all could have been avoided and I deeply resent that it wasn’t.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" CrowdEnglish7·9 days agoNot have Trump as president right now is a small first step.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" CrowdEnglish40·9 days agoI don’t give a shit about Charlie Kirk, rest in piss, but my celebration is mildly stunted by the fact that this is a dangerous thing to normalize and this is a massive notch in that direction given how huge of a public figure he was and the nature of his assassination being so public.
Of course, the right is largely responsible for that normalization, and Charlie Kirk’s death is actually on people like Charlie Kirk’s very hands. However, for me its just the consequences and the dark future that this seems to push us further into.
Hopefully the right fails to capitalize on his death effectively and we move onto largely forgetting about the piece of shit.
I understand your point, but I’m telling you: it can get worse. Right now they’re only sampling those things. Dipping their toes. In fact, this whole “Occupy major cities with the National Guard” shit has been fishing for an incident between civilians and troops to justify putting the hammer down. They want to go further and intensify what they’re already doing, but they need a reichstag event. That’s what this potentially is, but they could fumble it. Hopefully they do fumble and Charlie Kirk’s death just becomes a footnote.
It can definitely get a lot worse.
Shit, they don’t have the guy in custody. They grabbed the wrong guy. Could be anyone.
Either I hope they just get away or they capture them and its some rightwing nutjob.
Assuming its not a “release the list” rightwinger who pulled the trigger, this is a potential reichstag event.
