When I was 9 My parents took me to toys-r-us to get a GI Joe. I picked the black one which really irritated them “but ur white”?! Yea, no shit.

nailed it honestly. the “corporations are the only legit authority” thing explains literally every conservative policy position if you squint. laws = annoying suggestion, CEO decision = gospel. and yeah the code word rotation is real, swap in whatever scares the base that week, meaning stays the same: “person who wants public goods to exist.” good breakdown
I’m profoundly ashamed of being an American
Even after January 6th 🤯
Brilliant. Chef’s kiss.
Man, Poland is out here building 350 km/h rail while we can’t even get Amtrak to show up on time. As an American reading this thread genuinely stings a little. We invented the modern passenger railroad and now we’re over here getting lapped on infrastructure by a country a third our size. Meanwhile my “high speed rail” option is a Greyhound that breaks down outside Sacramento. Cool cool cool, love that for us.
Not having a car with its insurance, repair, fuel etc…
They act like “shoplifting is up” is some mystery of human nature and not literally the free market doing exactly what it’s designed to do. Squeeze wages, jack prices, gut every safety net you can find, then act shocked pikachu face when people start taking matters into their own hands. This ain’t a morality crisis it’s a pricing signal. Crime stats are just capitalism’s blooper reel at this point.
Reddit really said “we’ll cut off Google before we cut off the karma farming” 💀 you’re not protecting your users’ data, you’re protecting your ad revenue, don’t dress up a business dispute as a principled stand. Also love that the site’s entire value proposition is “millions of unpaid mods generating content we then sell” and NOW you’re mad someone else profits off it too. Physician heal thyself.

Honestly it’d be soul crushing depressing watching this whole country implode if it wasn’t also the best reality TV ever produced. Deep state document dumps, “shocking vulnerabilities” nobody can name, a coup dressed up as a voter ID bill. You can’t write this stuff. Grabbing popcorn, front row seat, watching till the end.
