Do you know what this means? They’ve fucked the poors so hard that they had to fuck the middle class. Then they fucked the middle class so hard that now they have to fuck the elite.

My personal wealth (or lack thereof) isn’t affected if a stock drops 20 points on the nasdaq.

You know who IS affected? The rich. The people who have amassed wealth through insider trading and stock manipulation.

So this news does not affect me one bit. The empathetic side in me innitially says “Oh no!”

Followed by logic saying “fuck all of this”.

He probably prefers X. His homie has turned it into a hangout for all the other nazi homies.

…can you tell I don’t like the word “homie”, and would like to give it a negative vibe?

I mean…I honestly can’t tell if you’re getting wooshed by the original comment, or if you get it and I’m being wooshed by you.

What? Why would you think he gets the BLM movement from that exchange? That would require an ability to abstract info from one situation, apply it to similiar situations, and use critical thinking and introspection to realize that they were wrong.

And that’s not happening.

If this were a real bumper sticker, I’d take it out to the parking lot of my apartment building, and apply it OVER the one this one truck has that looks just like it.

Have you ever noticed people don’t notice small details have changed until they start piling up? I once played a prank on my friend where I would hide a small rubber duck in his house everytime I visited him. Small like the size of your fingernail. I got to 50+ hidden before he noticed one.

So my thought is, it would be weeks or months of him driving around before he noticed. He may never notice.

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

In his life? No. The word is not in his lexicon. Funnily enough, neither is the word “lexicon”.

Um…guys? Are we going to talk about this? Because…seriously. He’s trying to shut down, silence, and censor media. That’s literally a fascist move. That’s straight from the fascist playbook. The nazi’s LITERALLY did this. So instead, Radio London would broadcast in french. They’d open and close each broadcast with a series of nonsensical phrases they called “personal messages”. What was otherwise disguised as the station listeners calling the station with messages like “Pierre dit bonjour” or “Pierre says hello”. Just seemingly innocent phrases that listeners would call in, so other listeners could hear them. Personal messages. And on one random night, a night that could have been any other night, a very special personal message went out.

“Blessent mon coeur d’une langueur monotone”

Which if you didn’t know it’s meaning, would seem harmless enough, if not a bit random. However, those in the french resistance knew it well. It was their signal to grab arms and join the fight. Because this random night just happened to be June 5th 1944. A night now famous among those who know their history. However you may also know it by another name. D-Day.

I bring all this up to mention the fact that all of that was necessary to do on Radio London, because all radio stations in France, were now occupied and ruled my the nazi’s at that time. The nazi’s shut down and censored any actual French media.

Which is what trump is doing right now. Shutting down and censoring media, while being the president of a nation that has for literal centuries prided itself on being the home of free speech. I just want you to consider the irony here, and take in the full scale of what’s happening right now. We are actively taking more and more steps each day to becoming a full on fascist state. Does anyone not see this? Is everybody forgetting history? I feel like it’s obvious. It’s on full display. They’re not attempting to hide it. They’re just going through with it.

It’s reminding me of that scene with heath ledger as joker saying if you execute a plan, and somebody unexpectly dies, everybody loses their mind. But if you state a plan is intended to have a few deaths, then nobody panics when people die.

I feel like that’s what’s going on right now. In 2024 we learned about project 2025. Details leaked. And now that people are used to the ideas, they accept them more easily, despite knowing the actual plans are terrible plans that shouldn’t be plans. But they ARE plans. So everybody is just going along with it.

I see a blank message with no edits. Why does this have 11 upvotes?

Real life. He was mayor, like 10 years ago. This was an actual thing people were mad at him for.

And as many times as I reconfirm this was real, I still get vibes of this being Micheal Scott as mayor.

I might have tacos…

I would make a joke like “Wow! I should use mass media to convince people to buy my shitty products, but convince them that they need it. Then overcharge!”

Except the basis of that joke being a joke would rely on the core concept NOT happening for real. Which it is. So that would just make me a part of the problem…

I don’t know how to feel about this. Because, he’s not wrong. From Germanys perspective, trump controling the usa is basically putin controling the usa.

So I can see why that is the thought process here.

But I don’t want that to be the thought process. I don’t want to alienate all our allies. I want life to make sense. What we got instead is a clear indication that the united states is going to attack itself, and is already attacking itself.

Germany is just trying to stay out of the crossfire, and I get that. So, I can’t just say “Good! Let them be our advasary so they don’t get caught up in this”. I can’t say that because it has long term reprocussions that I feel we may have already crossed.

Mostly, I just want all this bullshit in the usa to boil over. Lets get this civil war out of the way. Lets forge our path that nazi lives don’t matter.

And to all other nations out there, I’m sorry. I’m embarassed to be an American right now. When even Canada is getting stern with you, you know you fucked up. And we did. We fucked up bad. We’re going to keep fucking up presumably for at least the next 4 years. After that, I have no idea. But right now, saying you’re American is like shitting your pants in an elevator.

And to all other countries out there, I’m sorry for existing.

checks notes

Uhhhhh…no.

I’m sorry, I can’t hear what you’re saying, over the sound of putin’s dick in your mouth!

All he does is spew bullshit, but the insane thing is, the majority of the country fall for it.

“rapid unscheduled disassembly.”

Or in laymans terms…shits broke!

Bunch of racist white dudes moved in, killed all the people already living here, and instituted slavery almost immediately.

Why the FUCK did Canada EVER look at America and say “Well these guys seem like people I can trust!”?

Look, Canada, you’re great. You know who else has some great people? Australia. I know. I know. Given how it was founded, by all logical conclusions Australia SHOULD be full of a culture of shady criminals. But it’s NOT. I’ve literally never met an Australian person without later thinking “Man that person was cool.”

Maybe Canada should become BFFs with Australia! And hey, I’m the one who came up with the idea. Maybe you could let ME be Canadian. PLEASE let me not have to be in this shitty country anymore! I want to come hang out with Canadians, and Australians, and maybe we meet some Japanese people. That might be fun, right? Oh, and Polish people seem pretty cool.

I guess I just like people who are friendly, and make good allies, but if you fuck with them, they will fuck you up.

Oh, let’s get Ukraine in on this friendship!

Just remember. The house always wins. Unless you fuck up so hard you go bankrupt.

Guess he only had concepts of a business plan.

Not just once, but THREE times.

Yeah. Back in december I thought “I’m barely making my head above water…” and decided to take a second job. Which, I hate the job itself, but the people are pretty good people. I’m used to new workplaces where you’re new to be filled with just the worst people. I’m used to toxic chaos. And if that had been the case, I’d have quit by now. But, it’s an extra $100ish dollars a week after taxes. It adds up.

So when I saw I was above income level, I was like “Whooooa, maybe I should just quit my second job if it means keeping my medicaide”.

Then I heard how low the threshold was, and I said “Well, actually…the second job had nothing to do with it…”

So I guess someone who makes 12 dollars an hour is too rich for medicaid now.

This is a problem affecting me, but it’s a bigger problem thats going to affect millions. I don’t have money to go out and pay $400 a month for health insurance.

I’m not even making my bills now as it is. Rent’s going to go up in July. Yet somehow I don’t qualify for food stamps, or now even medicaide.

You think I’m alone? You think the medical industry isn’t about to collapse on itself? Imagine all these people who go to the ER. And then get billed 3 million dollars. No I’m NOT exaggerating. I got a statement that said “this is not a bill”. It showed my services used. In a 3 month period, I was over 1 million dollars. I’ve been doing this since 2023. I’m fairly sure my total is closer to 5 million dollars.

Now…imagine they try to collect that.

Most they could do is arrest me. So now you got millions of prisoners. In a 1 year period. Where are you going to put them?

So, more likely they won’t arrest, but they won’t get their money. Now compound this. Millions of people all rendering services, which are now emergancy services. Which cannot be denied.

And then never paid because nobody has millions of dollars lying around.

How would the medical system NOT financially collapse?

Edit: I don’t always know how I come off to others. I typed this up angry. If it comes off as me being angry at you, I appologize. I’m not angry at you, or intending any direction at you.

I’m just angry.
