My condolences to the harm reduction blue voters, but did anyone else’s ears just start ringing with the screams of millions of southern state Republican hypocrites, willfully oblivious to the staggering irony, demanding GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE disaster aid for this UNREGULATED CAPITALIST CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE once preventable tragedy? "

And I want them to get that aid too. That’s what separates us from their barbarism. I for one want them to have universal healthcare and access to education, as we’d all benefit from them being less ignorant, whereas they would very much prefer those outside their out group be dead. Of course they’d turn on each other then.

You’re saying something to the left of what we have, a neoliberal party save a literal handful of spoilers they detest more than their fascist opposition that has proven eager to concede to fascists at every turn, and the Fascists themselves, isn’t palettable to our people politically. I agreed with your point on that, It’s a dark, dark reality.

If our people aren’t ready for something to the left of those, and there really isn’t anywhere further right to go, we’re plotting military annexations and building extralegal concentration camps, where do you see this having even a slim margin to improve before collapse?

Because AOC isn’t even that leftwing, she just looks like it from inside the burgeoning fourth Reich.

You’re right about the public, but that also means there is no hope and no one should care or try.

If the people will only vote neoliberal or fascist, theres nothing to be done other than store food and water and hope you aren’t noticed until complete societal collapse. There is no possible path to a decent society when both choices are fine with the poor dying to enrich their bribers.

I think after 24 years of holding my nose and voting Neoliberal, telling myself the lesser evil will somehow lead to salvation, and fighting for Sanders on 2 campaigns, I’m done participating. Harris was my last gasp of appealing to this cesspool’s nonexistent sense of decency. I’m not going to endorse or signify the Neoliberals new meet in the middle low next cycle, where they call for “more humane” concentration camps as compromise. My hands are dirty enough voting for the good cop in this corpo fascist good cop/bad cop routine all this time.

George Carlin called it, the people suck so things really can’t get better. We’re a garbage people that largely despise the idea of an equitable society. Better collapse than perpetuating that. Not like people who only vote for which tribe to hurt deserve more.

Neoliberals aren’t the opposition, they’re the good cop. They both work for the oligarchs. One with affirmation ribbons, one with scapegoats, both for murder and exploitation for profit.

Nah, Karmas coming for them.

Not because of some just world fallacy, they were just fucking stupid to build their supposed “promised land” on top of people who were already there, and surrounded by more people that it pissed off.

Iran’s got a nuclear something for their ass sooner or later. Which will be WWIII, but Israel is Scrappy Doo, they’re not as big as they think they are, and they just keep pushing, they will be pushed back, because a shittier neighbor by actions there is none.

They always need someone to blame for their ever descending new level of hell they’ve made of society.

Fascists sell off society a plank at a time while telling the angry, ignorant crowd which powerless scapegoat is to blame this week.

Hell, my fellow Americans have been blaming powerless homeless people, the neighbors we’ve failed as a society, for hurting their property values with their inconsiderate continued existence while destitute since before Donnie was fake firing people on brain rotting reality TV, solely because the for profit media told them to do so as they counted those gullible idiot’s money.

Sabotaging education has made us a nation of suckers.

If I were Panama, I’d be setting charges to collapse the canal at key points requiring years and billions to repair should such an invasion occur, no different than Taiwan and their semiconductor infrastructure killswitch that would royally fuck over the world should China try to take Taiwan by force, making it China’s fault.

Fuck em, and by em I mean us because we’re the baddies. If the people that live, work, and die down there aren’t the beneficiaries of the revenue of the canal they operate, no one trying to steal it certainly should.

Live cooperatively or let the wannabe dictators of the world conquer a heap of ashes. Ill bet the global capitalist leech markets would be mourning the loss of such an efficient trade route.

I hope you get universal healthcare and proper education one day.

Sorry you hate your countrymen and therefore America.

It’s abundantly clear by the state of our nation that we need to drink a whole lot less alcohol and smoke a whole lot more weed.

One amplifies hatred, the other dispels it. Blow Marijuana in a Republican’s face, it’s your civic duty.

Sadly, we spend more on our death machine than the next 6 highest nations combined.

No one is coming to check our bullshit. Literally the only thing the US actually excels at is the creation and export of mass human death, and we save the best doomsday tools for ourselves. What a legacy. Imagine being proud of such a thing, and many are. Well, that and self-promotion, aka as George Carlin pointed out, the art of bullshittery.

And by the way, between all the genocide, Jim Crow, socialist regime destabilization, and Klan rallies, some like to crow “we were heroes in WWII!” No, heroes save others to save others. Our pacific fleet was decimated. The war came to us and we fought back. That’s not nobility, that’s self-preservation, not good or bad, just self-preservation under attack. We were begged to help and said no prior, and the US was quite fond eugenics before the war and practiced it both before and a little after WWII, involuntarily sterilizing people in asylums. Our capitalists like Ford were helping the Nazis for a tidy profit. Go fish if you want to think well of this exploitation torture device called the United States.

However much pain we’re feeling and will be feeling, as a nation not individuals, we deserve oh so much more for our inhuman crimes in the name of capitalist private profit. We destabilized entire nations trying to become societies solely to maintain access to their resources for our capitalist’s exploitation.

Every American better hope nation state karma doesn’t exist.

Whether we got here in 2020, 2024, or 2028, this is where the neoliberal/fascist capitalist jihad was heading.

They both serve the same masters and play good cop bad cop while exploiting us to death for their wealthy bribers.

And I vote blue out of slight harm reduction, not hope, because being murdered in swaths for shareholder private profits is better with affirmation ribbons than scapegoats, but we’re sinking under either and have been for half a century.

There’s a reason Democrat leadership spent the month before Trump took power safeguarding power from AOC. Republicans are their esteemed opposition, they keep the bipartisan bribe fountain running. If the DNC were taken over by an actual left trying to reign in the murderous capital markets, that fountain would stop. The Neoliberals and the DNC would treat an AOC insurgency with the urgency we wish they’d treat Trump.

It’s not the most important reason by a long shot, but it’s yet another reason why extreme wealth hoarding, aka billionaires and centimillionaires, should have been taxed out of existence and legislated from existing going forward:

Even they aren’t happy, even sitting in the complete victory of their coup. They could have a dozen space station mansions each and they still wouldn’t be satiated or satisfied. They can’t be satisfied. That is their defining character deficit. Literally everybody loses so long as the avarice diseased capitalists remain in charge, even them. The intensity of their cringeworthy attempts at social media flexes betrays their intent and blasts us all with their screaming insecurities day in and day out.

They’re mentally ill with an obsession/compulsion related disorder that they’ve manipulated civilization into enabling at literally every possible expense, including mass human murder and seriously risking human extinction for short term private profit.

They should be in mental health facilities receiving inpatient treatment for their extremely destructive antisocial behaviors for both their and everyone else’s safety and wellbeing, too bad at least in the US they defunded mental healthcare into utter ruin (and education, and common infrastructure, etc) to cut their own taxes through their captured government.

The inmates are truly running the asylum our society.

Maybe Saruman would be a better metaphor for the Neoliberals, but Saruman just seems too… competent.

I like to think he represents the naive but genuine goodwill of the “blue no matter who” crowd that subscribe to the just world fallacy, believe the Democrats are “doing their best,” and that the system is still capable of self-repair despite those mechanisms having been dismantled decades ago by the capitalists and their captured government.

The I do believe in fairies the benevolence of free market forces neoliberal voter that needs to pretend if they just go to work and keep their head down everything will normalize. If Citizens United didn’t spell out that our current constitutional framework was dead and well into decomposition, you’re hopeless.

"I affirm your identity! You’re free to be who you are without shame! As you die in a cardboard box under a freeway of exposure for failing to be exploited well enough, and as an intentional threat to the other poories to keep laboring for their corpo bribers. 🤷

Ooh, but here, have a ribbon! I hear they’re quite tasty when boiled."

They’re not the primary villain, those are the corpo Fascists, but they’re sure as shit the bumbling secondary antagonist. The Denethor to Sauron.

To be fair, attacking America’s corpo capitalist’s profits is an attack on America’s only practiced religion and belief system.

“Biden should have warned us harder! Harris tricked us! Fuckin leftists(lol) used reverse psychology! Imma MAGA even harder just to get revenge!”

They aren’t. Because there is no American left with any power.

Everything is polarized between “I affirm your identity as you die in a cardboard box under a freeway due to market forces” extreme right(D) and “get into the fucking gas chamber” Fascist®.
