How did these people graduate high school? When I first heard about Chem trails, I was like "you mean the process of taking moist cold air running it through a hot jet engine and then dumping it back into cold air creates clouds?! Good thing I learned about clouds and the water cycle in the 3rd grade."
you mistook chemtrails for contrails
honest mistake, words are very similar
Yup, few people know the full concycle. And even fewer people know the US is still riding the inertia from the grifting slave owners.
This only works when people are discouraged from voting. What do you expect to happen when the right wing people always vote and people like you discourage people from voting with fallacious "both sides" logic? It's almost as if you're part of a strategy being deployed by the right wing.
Eh, there's a problem with the "offer." Essentially, the entire political offer, the main parties, all are right-wing.
This is to say that it's a dying democracy as the representatives are less and less representative, since they represent a minority of conservatives and of aspiring rat race winners.
The figure about is not a cycle, it's a spiral, a death spiral. It ends with fascism causing major crises and bad times.
I understand your concerns, by all means, vote for the least evil party, but don't pretend that it's not evil.
The other side of the observation is that politicians consistently concede and compromise to go more right-wing and neoliberal. It's extremely rare to see some political figure go: "oh, yeah? You're going right? Then I'll go left!" No, they keep pandering more and more to the right-wing electorate, to the conservatives. As the masses are no longer represented, they don't vote.
The causes of this are multiple, so I won't get into them. I'd just say that you should understand that the austerity policies that are coming are desirable by all the right-wing, neolibs and far right. The far right just weaponizes austerity against the "bad minorities", that's the early fascist regime.
FFS you're facing fascism and you're writing paragraphs of bullshit equivocating about neo-liberal blah blah blah.
This isn't the time for that kind of thing. You need to oppose fascism with the means available. That means voting, boycotting, protesting, and organizing. If you're devoting all of your time towards intellectual masturbation over "neo-liberalism" (whatever that means) you you're not actually doing anything to oppose fascism.
People that throw around terms like "neo-liberal" are generally just internet narcissists trying really hard to sound like the smartest person in the room. Completely useless in opposing fascism and are likely carrying water for the fascists by writing long essays on how the political opposition to fascism are akshually fascists too.
I understand your concerns, by all means, vote for the least evil party, but don’t pretend that it’s not evil.
You need to stop pretending that's voting for the least worst party isn't what democracy really is. And all systems other than democracy have been worse. There is no perfect system that involves humans because humans aren't perfect. Best you can do is have a system that is capable of improving. But a system can't improve when your bullshit purity tests prevent you from engaging with that system.
What about car exhaust? Car exhaust needs to be investigated too! /s
There was mind altering substances coming out the exhaust of cars and airplanes in the past. They used to put lead in it, and the lead caused brain damage and made people violent.
Snaps fingers. He's got a point there.
this is the person that doesnt believe in measles vaccines, and already got people killed currently. in Samoa he was responsible for 85+children deaths.
Society is becoming less and less appealing
Americans will commit suicide rather than go to socialism.
Best they can do is giving you more pills and gaslighting it’s your problem to have poor coping skills and there is nothing you can do to greater society.
I imagine calling a suicide hotline in a couple of years will just be operators cheering callers on with praise and encouragement.
They are gonna send links on how to do it properly
"Call 911 on your neighbors. Soon the police will arrive, go to the wrong house, and kill the occupants. If you are still alive after the incident, try again."
It’ll just be a loop of gambling app ads
This and an obnoxiously stupid AI chatbot. Oh, and don't forget to pay for the tokens to use it
You couldn’t make this shit up
And yet be continues to just make shit up
He should look deep into it, yes.
Soon: U.S. declares the earth is flat.
Please don't joke like that, they might actually do it.
And name it "Flat America"
Revenge of the idiots
On a positive note, maybe it leads to less people flying...? Can't have those terrible chemicals (CO2 and H2O) get into our pristine atmosphere in a huge conspiracy to heat up the planet, hardboil our eggs, and turn us all sterile.
Fuck, wrong timeline. Abort!
I think I need to up my Lexapro a bit more. I just legit can’t handle this stupid shit anymore.
Hell of a week to quit using amphetamines.
You and me both, friend.
Investigate these nuts you creepy fuck.
What to investigate? Just check the receipts.
"we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing". Except you'll believe it this time.
