  • I know it’s going to suck for a lot of people, but I hope that nobody buckles under Trump’s trade war pressure. Let the shitty Trump tariffs be the torch that lights the funeral pyre that is the husk of what used to be the United States.

    Trump is just a symptom. He could get drone-bombed tomorrow and nothing would change. The people who were complicit in him regaining power must be severely punished, or else they will simply fall in lockstep with the next Republican stooge, and the only way to properly punish them is to inflict the maximum amount of suffering directly to them. Economic suffering is the bloodless route, and one that will be very effective in breaking the spell of propaganda.




  • I do live with my parents. We do own our own house. You make broad generalizations about why everybody else is less successful than you, but you clearly have no clue what life is actually like for people living in America, or what actually working for a living is like, rather than just inheriting 500k euros and having your money make your money for the rest of your life like a rich cunt. Must be nice to have a golden parachute you can rely on for the rest of your life, but most people don’t have that luxury and we want to make things better for everybody, not just the owner-class or the capital-class of folk who have long since pulled the ladder up behind them.

    The staggering ignorance on display here is why nobody is taking you seriously, and don’t you dare blame it on mental health or autism. You don’t get to come out loud and proud as a person who lacks empathy and then blame it on external factors when you get called out for being a piece of shit.

    Don’t bother with a reply, you’re a waste of oxygen. Blocked. ✋🚫



  • You know what work reform I’d love to see? One where pay is based on production. Not time.

    Funny, that’s what we want too. Production now is higher than ever before in the history of humanity, yet our wages and salaries have been stagnant for decades. If we are producing more than ever before, why do we need to work so many hours per week? We should either be fairly compensated for that productivity or we should not be required to produce more than we are fairly paid for, which should translate to either a drastic salary increase to match the increased demand for productivity or a drastic decrease in hours worked (without a reduction in pay, since you agree that pay should be based on production).




  • Trump administration offers tribute to mighty Poseidon thanking him for fair winds, calm seas and big water. The President was quoted as saying:

    “This is the greatest tribute in the history of tributes, not even Odysseus could have offered what we offered. Tremendous. We’re gonna make America’s oceans and seas and yes, even the beautiful Gulf of America Great Again. This F-18 is the first step in improving relations with Poseidon. Great guy, in fact. Not many people see it because of all the drownings and shipwrecks but behind closed doors he’s a very different person and he runs a tight ship, the ocean is respected and we need to start taking notes from him. Joe Biden didn’t normalize relationships with Atlantis, but I did. Sleepy Joe and Kamala couldn’t do it but I am the first President in 227 years to even get a meeting.”


  • Everybody on the right “likes what Trump is doing” or “Likes what DOGE is doing”, but when you ask them to articulate, specifically, what actions or policies they like, they will generalize to something the administration has claimed without evidence to be true but is difficult to prove or disprove (“He’s making the border safer”, “He’s getting rid of taxpayer waste”, etc.) or they will retreat from the question by attacking you personally or just saying that the vibes are generally better (“The tariffs will fix the economy”, “America is respected again”, etc.).

    I’ve never once had a debate with a Republican who came prepared with sources to back up their claims. That’s because as soon as they try to dig and find evidence of the insane stuff Trump and Musk are peddling, the lie unravels itself and it just becomes easier to accept things at face value rather than think critically.
