“Am I being bullied?”


Not authoritarianism: being the prison capital of the world, spying on everyone everywhere, police killing 1000+ a year, etc etc


We briefly experimented with the idea during Reconstruction and then quickly got rid of it.


They’re also good at collaborating together to both protect the wealth they already have and to get even richer.
They have class solidarity and are always cooperating to advance the interests of their social class.


I don’t really know what’s impressive about ripping assets and then cloning them into a basic game engine.


They’re very good at it. Anyone can make mistakes but they’re certainly not stupid, bad at their job, or incompetent.


They’re good at what made them rich and powerful! They’re not good at much else, they’re not smart about much else, and they can’t really do much else. But! They’re still they’re very good at what they do, and they love doing it.
They have a specialized set of skills and interests that revolve around making money and gaining influence/power.
Your enemies aren’t dummies, that’s why they win. Stop underestimating them. They’re gonna fucking kill us all.


They don’t want IMAX in your living room, they want IMAX in the IMAX theater, where you pay a premium for their service.

There is, in fact, a solid core of Trump supporters who really believe he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and really believe he’s solved 8+ wars and that he’s a peacetime president. They’re not the majority but I don’t see how it’s useful to deny the fact that these people exist. He’s still losing support, but that also demonstrates that he still has support left to lose.


A lot of them think Trump “solved” the conflict, you can’t just ignore this.
It’s one of the reasons he keeps demanding a peace prize, his little pig cult believes it.


You’re following normal people. Are you actively following rightoid freaks?


Well sure, there’s wider context behind J6 as a single flash point, but I don’t think you should overlook the event itself. It’s the most successful single day of protest that I can think of - yeah they got arrested and jailed for a while, but in the end they got literally everything they wanted and were entirely vindicated. The J6ers were transformed into political prisoners and martyrs, becoming a rallying flag for their movement. I think Trump’s victory owes a lot to their contribution.


J6 has been the most successful US political movement in my lifetime


I guarantee you that there are people who believe that Trump already saved Gaza and that all the news coming out now is fake.


There have to be at least a few people who believe his “peace president” bullshit.


You’re right, no one ever does anything on purpose. Somehow the richest and most powerful people in the world are all stupid, bad at their job, incompetent, and make mistakes. There are only coincidences. Nothing is done on purpose.


All I can think of is that Pokemon clip of the two mudkips talking to each other.
This Canadian chauvinism is really weird.
The internet is international. If you don’t want to talk to non-Canadians, go outside and talk to your neighbors. The internet is not for you because most people on most websites aren’t Canadian.
