  • Well that's the wonderful thing about being a cult leader. You're the only one who can solve the problem. So you get whatever you want, you get all the credit when things go well, and when everything goes wrong... you become everyone's scapegoat. It's not a valid excuse, but it is human psychology.

  • Impeachment articles filed against RFK Jr., claiming abuse of power

  • Quite frankly, trying to flip congress within the current system is the only play rn. Even if the game is rigged, there's nothing we can do about it until the average people both see it and care enough to do something.

    As for calling you a Russian troll...surely you can put together the implications there

  • Not the commenter, but I'm guessing the logic is less should and more will. We live in a world where most elites are sociopaths attracted to power like moths to light, and will always try to do the maximum they think they can get away with to benefit themselves. Proper political systems don't get rid of this because its a human nature thing, they weaponize it by organizing power structures to align those interests with sections of the people

  • The prions might make a better president

  • Trump DoJ ‘immediately’ stops enforcing prison rape protections for trans and intersex people, according to leaked memo

  • That is unironically half the problem. We have a totally mythologized view of our own history that has made us damn near incapable of repeating it

  • How I view my heritage

  • I've always found it ironic how much we actually have in common with our adversaries

  • A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it.

  • I hate that I laughed at that

  • It would be if you can find an elegant control scheme. Problem is, it has to be mapped to something, so you either can't move or can't use any buttons while altering it

  • Rebellion is just when you attempt regime change with violence, it doesn't require being morally in the right

  • That does not change my point. Despite- or perhaps because of- their efforts, the average American couldn't even tell you accurately when the Civil War happened from memory. It's once again not strictly their fault they don't know about those movements.

  • Admittedly, most formal attempts at rebellion against the American government since the Confederates are historically obscure. Whether they should be is an entirely seperate debate, but they are, so assuming malice on the part of someone not knowing more recent movements feels presumptuous

  • I can never take 4trans shit seriously

  • I felt like they were doing shit for the first few months, kept taking them but I'd sorta given up expectations, year in suddenly I realize I have boobs

    Mind, I'm autistic, have ocd, and a generally chaotic irl, I am not claiming to he normal

  • That is what lawsuits are for. Why didn't this happen every other time a company did it?

  • No matter how bad you want it to be, discriminating against a higher class is not the same as a lower one. And compared to the history where women couldn't have bank accounts without a man's signature, could legally be rapid by their husband, this does not compare. To say nothing of the fact that men have real problems caused by the same patriarchy, the education and suicide gaps for example, being victims of non sexual crimes at a much higher rate, why is this the hill you die on?

  • Trump told crews working on his White House ballroom to ignore permitting, zoning or code requirements: report

  • If the ceiling don't land on him, which would be a horrifically ironic way to go

  • Maybe the guy blanked. Even if that is what happened, frankly, I think you're making a big deal out of very little
