A real autism! Bisexual demiman. I like media. Extraordinarily DILF.
There’s some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.
Oh god Happy Tree Friends was RANCID.
Yeah the millenial reaction to Skibidi Toilet is their test for if they will Become Boomer or not.
I mentioned my girlfriend to my stepdad (well, ex stepdad actually, my mom divorced him forever ago lol, but i sorta still think of him like that) and he asked like “whats her story” and I had a strong feeling I should not mention she is trans lol. Like have I ever heard him say anything hateful in my life? No. But do I suspect that he’d probably have reacted weird to that? Yeah.
Got a flash of conservative talk radio when my stepdad drove me back from my sisters to the train station. The kuhner report or something like that.
Started out not too bad because they were talking about nuclear power being good. But they were still using obnoxious chud buzzwords like the elites being mad at Trump and Musk (who ate elites…) and CNN being propaganda (like conservative talk radio isnt). Then they started lying about how increased taxes raising prices and calling Kamala and Walz communists (which i take offense to as a communist) lol.
“I wasn’t familiar with your game” moment lmao
Its crazy because like, despite the liberalism and bigotry inherent in Harry Potter she still could have gone down in history as a beloved children’s author if she just enjoyed her money in her castle and never commented on politics at all. Other than the goblins and the name “Cho Chang” most of the nasty shit in Harry Potter wasn’t even noticed by anyone, let alone by large numbers of people, until her real opinions caused people to look closer.
You can really tell that she’s sunk her entire life into hate.
The Russo brothers obviously! (we really need an mcu mocking emote)
Whether you like it or not they don’t see your vote as an endorsement of the marginal differences, they see it as an endrosement of everything they’re doing, including that genocide thats going on.
Why don’t you care about any of the people in America?
As a disabled person living off federal benefits, with a transgender girlfriend living in a red state, I’m literally got skin in the game personally, so don’t tell me that I don’t care about people living in America. The problem is there is an active genocide going on and the Biden adminstration, including Kamala, are supporting it.
If you think the parties are the same on foreign policy but the Democrats are better on all the thing I mentioned, doesn’t that still mean the Democrats are less terrible?
I dont think they are materially better on the things you mentioned on the federal level as I mentioned in another post. The best they’ve done is nice sounding words. Another thing you forgot to mention btw is immigration, on which Biden has somehow managed to be materailly worse than Trump lmao. So theres that too.
and I would very much like to have an option that wasn’t, but I don’t, do I? I have to chose between the options given, and as bad as they are they’re clearly the less bad option.
You have options that aren’t that and they all involve doing literally any political thing other than voting. I literally don’t care if you decide to vote for Kamala, especially if you live in a swing state. Just please, god, take your eye off electorialism because it won’t save us.
outlaw trans people
What, materially, other than nice sounding words, has Biden and federal-level Democrats in general done to counteract what is happening to trans people in red states right now? What indication is there that Democrats care to do anything for trans people on a federal level? On the state level, sure, there’s been some action to make blue states sanctuary states and such, but federally?
abortion, birth control,
Again, what have Biden and the federal level Democrats done about this? Did they codify Roe while they had the chance? Did they pack the courts so Roe couldn’t be overturned? Did they build abortion clinics on Federal land? Or did they just, yet again, say nice words?
end unions
Biden literally broke a strike lmao. Personally, by his own hands. One of the few proactive things he has done in his whole presidency is to actively break a strike.
end democracy
We already don’t live in a democracy. Youre choice is between outright facism and pretty damn close to fascism, and in most places in the country you dont even get to contribute to that choice.
and otherwise just be totally as bad as Republicans
On forgein policy and economics? Yeah pretty much. On social issues? Democrats will say nice words but, again at least federally, not materially do anything.
Roe v. Wade certainly would have still been overturned if the election in 2016 had gone the other way, too, right?
2016 is in the past and you learned the wrong lesson from it. 2016 taught us that running a shitty milquetoast war criminal neoliberal candidate that noone other than wine moms likes against fascism (and pied pipering him as the nominee because you think you can beat him in the process btw!!!) doesn’t work. And again, both Obama and Biden could have codified Roe and didn’t. And Biden could have packed the courts to prevent the overturn.
All in all, electorialism won’t save us. And the violent solutions you wanted to avoid in your first post are actually our only way out of this mess. But they need to be organized.
I think the thing that most impresses me about this post is how you just completely neglected to mention forgein policy in your list of things like at all. The Democrats and Republicans being the same regarding supporting the US Empire (besides one side or the other pretending to be anti-war while being in the opposition sometimes, but not following through on that once in power) is a huge factor here lol. Really shows your priorities and that you just do not give a single shit about the global south.
The Democrats literally gave a standing ovation to Netanyahoo a couple of days ago,
Err, I mean, I’m on your side in the overall here and think the lemme moron youre arguing with is an idiot. But roughly half of congressional Democrats were not even at the speech, so just saying lets keep our counterpoints in the realm of what actually happened. To be clear, pretty much all the skips announced reasons that were pretty weaksauce so I’m not particularly impressed by most of them. But still, the congressional Democrats did not, as a group, all give a standing ovation to Netanyahu. Thats just inaccurate to say.

Why would you think that? That tweet almost single-handedly ended the anti-electoralism movement among the Very Online Twitter Left
lmaooooooooo
Yeah but the intent of the post and the way its used on social media is for liberals to tut tut leftists for supporting direct action over electorialism. So the comic does happen lol.
Just some shit i felt needed clarification based on recent discourse Id seen (mostly from the “trans radfem” set). Itll fall on def ears of course but i said it lol.
Kinda just straight up tired of trying to invest in relationships with people. People will just humor you and then eventually ghost you because secrelty they found you annoying the whole time. They’ll NEVER talk to you and communicate and say “hey this specific thing bothered me can you stop”.
I really am starying to get blackpilled on friendship lol. Idk if real friends exist. People just seem to be your friend until they decide you’re no longer pleasurable to them. And the “you dont owe people anything” discourse just makes it worse.
The autism and RSD makes it all worse. Its stupid and I’m exhausted with it.
Idk about the later (I think maybe I heard about that being a rumor that didnt pan out?) but the former was like, not his fault remoty. That was boomers not understanding and making corny latenight comedy out of his stuff lol.
