I remember a bunch of people freaking out about this a few years ago.amd an equal number telling them they were paranoid.
You can talk about stuff and your phone will just magically start suggesting related items. Why would anyone be surprised the monitoring device in their pocket is monitoring them?
- Comment on Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes 2 days ago:
The dude is convinced he can “win” by out-procreating everyone else, it’s obvious he has some very serious mental issues that need addressing but he’ll never actually do the work required to be better. He’s exactly like the Quiverfull people trying to out-populate their perceived enemies, assuming their descendents will follow their same credo.

See the problem is a lot of people see “Nazi” and (for some reason) think people are literally talking about a card carrying member of the NSDAP, which obviously doesn’t exists after 1945.
Substitute “fascist authoritarian” for “Nazi” in more modern contexts and it makes more sense.

- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
I don’t think most people really think a vacation home or single rental makes you a leech, but when your entire portfolio is single family 2-3 bedroom houses you’re kind of sucking the air out of the local market. I know in my city there are tons of “small landlords” with less than 30 houses, half of them don’t even live in the city but in ex-urbs an hour away. They don’t do anything for the neighborhoods and see their income stream as completely legitimate.

- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
Shit like the other comment is why the left will never win in the US. They don’t care about your point or even progressing the conversation.
As long as they get their little point they don’t care. They got to “ackshually” on the internet and that hit of dopamine is good enough.
- Comment on This speaks for itself 1 month ago:
I had forgotten all about that. I grew up in a pretty small town, groups of old men (and women, to a lesser extent) would meet up at the Hardees and McDonalds early in the morning and have their coffee. I’m sure that and the growth of remote work makes a conference-type room more appealing to more people than playground equipment.
- Comment on This speaks for itself 1 month ago:
Additionally, you know McDonalds corporate office did all kinds of research; they wouldn’t rebrand unless they were confident in the new branding. The sleek, monochrome building probably reminds people of cleanliness or something.

And you keep demanding a use-case like the other commenter is proselytizing.
If were just going to ask people questions they have no responsibility to answer: Do you know why BTC was developed?

Yeah but the time for “ban guns” talk is over. We’re pivoting to “buy guns” now.
- Comment on US | Trump: ‘I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people’ 1 month ago:
Yeah the last couple months has been pretty scary honestly. They’re going mask off and everyone who matters and could do anything seems to be sitting on their hands.
Our current situation really is the culmination of almost 70 years of rightwing efforts. It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they’re winning.
The coup was successful, they’re in power and if they don’t want to give it up they won’t.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.
