  • Haha! So true.

    What’s funny is that even the craziest end times type of xtians that believe that shit will still carry a phone with them everywhere. I used to have fun with a few of them that I know of pointing out that, hey, they pretty much need it for everything now, what do you think that means, hmmm?

    They try that “but but but it’s not the gubbermint doing it! It’s the private sector.” and I ask - who do you think runs GPS satellites? :)

    It’s a sliding scale for these people. Used to be these types would point at Social Security numbers and claim that was the “mark of the beast”. Then it was credit cards. Then it was UPCs. Then RFIDs. And now they carry phones with NFC on virtually every single one of them, along with a GPS tracker, LOL.

    And now we have systems that can track people by recognizing their gait and their face, as well as other biometrics. There are things reading license plates. So does it even matter what you might carry on you, or not, at least if you live/work in certain cities?







  • Amen to that. As a lefty, I have despaired at seeing some terminally online so-called “leftists” do ridiculous things like oppression olympics and arguing over who is more intersectional than thou. And the purity tests. Oh, the purity tests, gawd.

    That is no way to run elections, FFS. People want to see what you are going to do for them. Even if that means “centering” white males and not having certain people “check their privilege”. 🙄 You won’t win jack squat by only appealing to the most pure humans you can find, as defined by people who don’t seem to live in the real world.

    So tired of the fringiest of the fringe lecturing others (including myself) on the most minor of details, all while we watch Republicans get more and more power and people like Taco going unchained. I think most of this is online, but some of this definitely spills over into campaigns and real life. I will never forget seeing people lecturing others that Chris Rock and Will Smith still don’t have as much privilege as the average cishet white dude might have, as if money and class don’t matter. Oh, and how anyone that voted for Bernie is a misogynist and racist because he focuses on issues of class. FFS, what even is this shit? Are these people trying to create more Republicans?

    I’d like to see more Democrats get caught TRYING to do something for everyone. Tell the voters what you want to do for them at the outset and push for it. Don’t come in at some tepid point between some made-up “liberal media” center and the rabid right and then “compromise” by moving even further right from that position.

    I don’t give a rat’s ass about how many oppression olympics medals they have, and I really think most voters don’t either. It’s about the policies.



  • One other thing - it was bad enough to hear these dinguses going around muttering, literally, “maga” like a bunch of toddlers going on ten years now, but now these same fools are calling Taco “daddy”?

    It was bad enough when Tucker said it - conservatives and the Republican Party have long been known to have serious daddy issues, but now they are printing it up on shirts?

    The Democrats with a platform need to bring back “weird” when talking about the cons. Because calling Taco “daddy” is just…WTAF. People wearing that shirt need to have people point and laugh out loud at them. These people need a lot more mockery.
