  • I think it also highlights the absurdity that the stock market has become and how it directly contributes to a culture that allows for human suffering as long as record profits are believed to be around the corner.

    I don’t even understand what record profits they’re expecting at this point. Their sales numbers are dropping, they’re facing stiffer competition, the carbon credits and ev tax credits which benefited tesla so much are going away, and more of their newer offerings like the cybertruck and the taxi service have been absolute disasters. Somehow the company still enjoys about a $1 trillion market cap.



  • Yep, the trade war that trump carried out with China in his first term led to China buying a lot fewer soybeans from the US, instead turning to Brazil (now even more with the second trade war). Since this time his trade war isn’t limited to China, many more countries are finding alternatives. It’s much harder to gain business than it is to retain it and even harder to regain business when lost.

    US corporations were happy to support trump because he’d cut taxes and regulations on them, but that won’t outweigh all the business lost internationally. Instead US corporations will be relying on squeezing Americans even harder in an attempt to make up for that lost business. I suppose that’s the true meaning of “America first”.









  • Again you miss the point. So you “said something” about Palestinians? All I can see you saying about the issue is shaming people for still talking about it even though it’s still an ongoing issue. You’re claiming that people who talk about it still just have a superiority complex and are somehow at fault for everything trump does, even though the democratic party, who has far more power than any of us, were happy to continue supporting genocide even if it meant losing votes.

    Let me state that again: the democratic party, your supposed champions holding back fascism, were happy to ignore voters protesting genocide because they thought sending billions in weapons in support of genocide is more important than their votes. Now you’re telling me that these very same champions give a shit about any of your friends and family? It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic. The democratic party is the “good cop” in the good cop/bad cop fascism routine. Both cops work for the same organization and have the same goal.


  • Telling on myself how? That I don’t find genocide acceptable? You’ve clearly taken the genocide of Palestinians as granted and perhaps even acceptable. If the democratic party is willing to support the genocide of Palestinians, even going out of their way to sending billions in weapons toward the cause, then your friends and family aren’t safe the second the democratic party finds them politically inconvenient either. First they came for…


  • Just when it comes to the day our flawed voting system gave me a choice between fascism or not.

    That was not the choice. The solution to hitler is not hitler-lite.

    You can justify it however you want, but your moral superiority comes at the expense of the lives of minorities. That’s just the facts of the 2024 election.

    Stop using minorities as a shield for continuing terrible democratic policies which include GENOCIDE.



  • Sometimes you can’t have an ideal outcome.

    Tell the democratic party this when they insist that the candidate MUST lick rich people’s asses or they’d rather give the election to the republicans. When you’ve got people making excuses for giving billions in weapons to genocide then it’s obvious that the democratic party is not actually interested in helping. If they can excuse genocide then they can excuse anything.

    You can say “better than the alternative” all the way to fascism, because that is the only place that line of thinking will bring you. In fact, that is exactly what has happened after decades of rabid republicans and impotent democrats tag team fucking the American people.
