if david bowie or juggalo paint lets me walk with my head held high instead of hiding my face in public, then it is the dignified option. dignity is choosing to live your life free. if other people think it looks ridiculous, so be it
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 1 day ago:
hey just so you know “white trash” reinforces a racial hierarchy, and is thereby a racist term. as a term, it is built on the presumption that white people are supposed to be higher than the lowest rung of society.
whatever you may think of ICP’s fans, this critique of them is classist and unhelpful
- Comment on Human experimentation, one way or the other. 2 days ago:
Vaccination is a major component of community health measures. If someone doesn’t want to participate in community health measures, they are a risk to communities. Without vaccination, the only way an unvaccinated person can keep from putting the community at risk is to increase social distancing to a degree that would disallow them to spread diseases to immunocompromised people within the community. During an epidemic or pandemic, with no vaccine, and with other measures in place like masking, testing, and contact tracing, a social distancing policy of 6 ft can keep a disease from spreading rampantly. However, we are not currently mass masking, testing, or contact tracing mostly trusting people to be and act safe.
But you’ve decided to opt out of community health measures. You’ve decided to lone wolf it because it’s, as you put it, a strictly personal choice. This means that you don’t have to participate in community health measures, but it also means that if you come closer than 15 feet to people who are engaged in community health measures, you are raising their risk of unknowingly spreading something to someone immunocompromised. If we were to not engage in community health measures, we would need to increase the spacing from 6 ft to 15 ft to prevent devestating health risks.
So since you’ve chosen this for yourself, I assume you’re taking these measures? Or are you being a typical selfish antivaxxer who wants to receive the benefits of community health measures without doing anything to participate in making them work?
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 days ago:
there’s more than one epstein and more than one blackmail book. weird rich guy sex stuff is about power and control more than it is anything else. the centers of these rings just also enjoy power and control over victim and direct perpetrator in a form of violent sexual hierarchy
- Comment on Human experimentation, one way or the other. 2 days ago:
strictly personal
Oh, so I assume you’ve self isolated yourself entirely and aren’t going within 15 feet of anyone else or letting anyone else come within 15 feet of you?

- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 3 days ago:
Ukraine is in close cooperation with anarchocommunist groups within Ukraine at the front and leftist groups from russia like Sibir Corps and Cut the Lines that the kremlin has labeled as terrorist groups. i don’t know where you’re getting your understanding that the modern day russian federation is the champion of the left in Ukraine, but it’s certainly not a stance with a grounding in reality

“lemme just attack a leftist real quick for heaving the AUDACITY for living in Ukraine and choosing to show an affinity for Ukrainian self determination when I didn’t approve of it”

- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
it has MUCH less access to your phone on GrapheneOS than stock android and can even be limited to only contexts where its required.
plus Graphene still blocks a lot of the other attack vectors that corporations use to track you like Dynamic Code Loading and Memory Tagging. to say installing google play services to your main profile defeats the purpose of GrapheneOS is to ignore like 80% of what GrapheneOS does and how it installs google play services
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
and i’m saying it’s still sandboxed on the main account leaving a second profile still available for work
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
no. most or all of their current offerings are very locked down
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
graphene still sandboxes gplay, even if you use the two profiles for work and home

- Comment on Why MAGA suddenly loves solar power | The Trump-led attack on solar eases as the right reckons with its crucial role in powering AI and keeping utility bills in check. 2 weeks ago:
hydroelectric has serious issues with mixed use land management and doesn’t scale all that much. solar arrays can be located many differeot places and don’t require the land be used only in one way.
this is the first time i’ve ever seen someone claim solar drives up utility prices and it was even a huge “problem” in california that the utility companies in 2024 that supply outstripped demand to the extent that the utility companies were paying customers to consume extra energy during low demand hours to keep the grid from getting overwhelmed.
i’d be curious to learn more about what you’re saying about solar not scaling as well as hydroelecric because this runs counter to everything i’ve read since the mid 00s when solar panels saw a great increase in their efficacy

you give people the chance to adjust and then you tell them to fuck off however is the most likely to see them self reflect (shun, physical violence) or never bother you again

reasons to resist fascism:
- basic fucking empathy, you shouldn’t need more you jackass
- oh? you need more you fucking sicko? fine. how about this. if the state is indescriminantly killing, it will only be a matter of time until it thoughtlessly kills you by "mistake"
- jesus christ, you still need convincing? my god. okay. here you go. you reap what you sow. in 20 years the children who see what you’re doing will be adults. there will be no forgiveness in their hearts for the parents, brothers, and sisters you killed. so maybe don’t give them a reason to hate you
but fascist apologists lack empathy and they lack the critical thinking skills to be moved by the other two

this is largely how we know i live in a terror state. america needs enemies to justify its continued imperial project so it will go out and manufacture them
- Comment on ..? 2 weeks ago:
exactly
- Comment on ..? 2 weeks ago:
in the grand scale absolutely. nothing ever good comes from foreign interventions. a people must be given the tools to liberate themselves rather than have it decided for them what is best
- Comment on ..? 2 weeks ago:
i will not tell them how to think or feel. the old regime killed their families. the new regime will likely finish the job. iran, israel, the united states. none are working or fighting on behalf of the Iranian people. i will help them as they work to survive, but i will not moralize to them that they’re wrong to feel how they feel about things that impact them directly
- Comment on ..? 2 weeks ago:
the way my Iranian friends have put it as they celebrate the death of the head of the regime and brace themselves for the impact of the new regime is that when you live under opression all your live, you learn to celebrate the small stuff, even as you know what’s coming will also be bad
