- Comment on How DARE we try to push back on bigotry and hate >:( 5 weeks ago:
Verbatim? No, probably not. But when “Free Speech Absolutist” Elon Musk censors criticism about himself on Xitter, but allows and promotes Nazi content, actions speak louder than words.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 months ago:
Unless there’s nuclear war, there’s no such thing as the point of no return. Just a further slide into more egregious civil rights violations. Eventually it will get better, hopefully through democratic means and not violent ones.
- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP? 4 months ago:
Not necessarily. If it’s after the electoral votes are cast, then yes, definitely.
But the electors are bound by different rules, set by their respective states, on how they would vote if Trump died before then.
- Comment on Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations 4 months ago:
This move actually makes zero fucking sense. Having people in our country who are willing to work less money than the average citizen labor costs are low. That basically means more money for him and his oligarch buddies.
He’s already won the election. He doesn’t have to keep posturing like this. And he’s not going to be elected again, so either he (hopefully) has no third term, or he’ll prevent the 2028 elections from being free and fair.
My prediction is that nothing will actually come of this and he’s saying this to keep his approval rating high.
Either that or he’s even more racist than he is greedy and self-centered

Ngl I legitimately forgot it’s October and not still September
- Comment on ‘I don’t have much hope for a Harris presidency’: Ta-Nehisi Coates on Israeli apartheid and what the media gets wrong about Palestine 5 months ago:
Vote for the lesser of two evils so we can stop validating the tyranny of the greater of the two evils and start working on undermining the elected evil with an even lesser evil.
This “It doesn’t really matter if we elect Harris because Palestine will still be destroyed” talk is all completely moot if the other option will actively move politics FURTHER AWAY from a place where we can afford to deal with crisis management abroad by making crises more common domestically.

3 months and 8 days…

As with most advice regarding early childhood development, your mileage may vary.
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 5 months ago:
They’re not wrong though
- Comment on Suggestions 5 months ago:
We’re not saying we should ban it, we’re saying we should discredit these publications because they are willingly giving a platform to extremist rhetoric. Nobody is saying this should be illegal, we’re saying “Stop reading the New York Times, they’ve gone full accelerationist”
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 5 months ago:
Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 5 months ago:
While accurate, we’ll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 5 months ago:
Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 5 months ago:
Counterargument: everything is limited, and all joyful people are imbeciles to some extent
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 5 months ago:
Or rather, they assassinate him themselves, since someone who has held clearance higher than any other member of the US government is a liability if he becomes disloyal to the US
