I wasn't able to edit my post but I wanted to post an addendum so I deleted it and now I'm reposting it with the addendum and a bunch of more angry ranting:

I promise you that guy probably doesn’t actually care if we’re in fascism as long as he’s safe, well fed, and mildly entertained. He will not put his balls on the table to fight fascism. He might be annoyed that his late night cable slop has been disrupted, but that’s it.

To be clear, he doesn't owe us anything either. He doesn't owe us suicidal devotion to a socialist revolution against the fascists. And you would be unhinged and legitimately an immoral sociopath to think otherwise. Liberal normies do not owe us devotion to political awareness. No one chooses to be born. No one owes their lives to a cause. Rage and froth at the mouth about it all you want.

They voted for democrats, and they did not even really owe anyone even that. We could have avoided this. We could have been fighting against a liberal president. We could have built off that. Instead now we're stuck in defense yet again and we are simply out of time. Congratulations.

And no, I wont get over it, suck the shit out of my asshole. I want good things world make no mistake, and I still feel tinges of hope when I see the Trump presidency stumble and fuck up. With hope that maybe the world can heal eventually to something that's not intolerable, perhaps merely just mildly bad. But there is this meta-awareness of resentment overlaid on top of even that because we should not be here and we did not need to be here. And even after when the world has healed.

Even if it heal to a miraculous degree. Maybe we live in a fucking utopia at the end of this: still fuck you. I'll be an elderly man or dead. The prime of my life wasted existing in a toxic miserable slog of a period of time because of a stupid political larpers and weak liberals couldn't stop fucking bickering with each other and I have to stare into the abyss of people's suffering and pain caused by this administration. And let be clear: Its not even my own pain or death. I'm living a materially better life than like 90% of you probably, but my sense of pride in my humanity is fucking dead. Everything I indulge in covered in a grey smog of "Hey I bet a bunch of Africans are going to unnecessarily starve to death because we did not like Harris enough to prevent Trump from cutting USAID haha ok enjoy your sci-fi book buddy"

Its fucking inescapable now. AGHAGHGA

I'm all for people waking up to it when they do. This isn't too late, but it would have been nice of they would have listened and seen the signs earlier. We could have had a larger and possibly more effective resistance movement.

However, we didn't really have much of a resistance effort then and more people would have only help so much. And having liberals join us at anytime would have been difficult to integrate because we barely know how to get along with people who agree with us. Liberals have fundamental issues with our insights in other areas.

Frankly, we don't know how to integrate liberals into a leftist resistence. We don't have much of a resistence beyond yelling at each other online. Sadly, we were never prepared for a authoritarian transition. And honestly, not sure when we were suppose to.

Now i'm no christian, but whatever jesus gave us this had fire in his belly. someone get him some wine that is not hygienic.

the this in question so you don't have to click through unless you want:

The Parable of the Workers in the VineyardMatthieu 20 vv1-16, NIV

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

“About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ So they went.

“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

“‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

“The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

“But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

waking up is like planting trees. best time was 20 years ago. second best time is today. reward doesn't change.

I swear I did not thought I would see, in my lifetime, the fall of the American Empire, and so fast and so far from where it once stand. As a non american this it makes me sad that the people could not see this coming and now it's too far gone.

A great example to the world that we should never lower our guns because evil is just one election away

Fascism out in the open? Best I can do is a Disney boycott.

Roughly 1500 canaries have died in the coal mine at this point

[-] [email protected] 19 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

My neighbor told me the mine keeps killing his canaries so I asked how many canaries he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new canary afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter canaries to the mine and then his daughter started crying

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

The coal mine was literally converted into a canary processing facility like a decade or two ago, by now. Which sounds bleak, but the bright side is so much delectable canary meat.

ah sweet succulent canaryflesh. remember folks:

Why do we do this to ourselves!? Nothing is ever good enough. Can't it be enough that we agree with each other? Why are we gate keeping awareness?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 minutes ago

For real. And not to mention, the Kimmel thing is like, a very serious step forward in a way other things have not been. I'm not saying other bad stuff hasn't happened, for sure. But it's not unreasonable for this to be the straw that breaks the camels back for some people. I hate Kimmel, always have, but it was surprising to see the media control phase unfolding so openly and suddenly. This IS crossing a new line.

Purity check is way more important than building the better world. Building the better world is hard, hating libs for not being your flavour of socialism is easy, satisfying, and makes you look cool to your peers (until you slip up and now you're the lib)

This is just another divisive post to stir engagement and outrage. I doubt the tweet in the screenshot is even real..

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Seriously, if we want to win, we need converts. Welcome them with open arms. Help them to understand and teach them that this is part of a larger trend. Not everyone is a chronically online political weirdo.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, I agree. Most of the country has been negatively impacted by the people in power. This does include the D politicians but especially includes the current R politicians.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

We are all in the same boat.

Anything that leads to cishet white male anti fascist awakening is welcome at this point. And honestly at any point.

[-] [email protected] 204 points 20 hours ago

I fundamentally disagree with this kind of take. If someone is having their 'oh shit' moment because a mainstream media figure is being targeted by the regime, that's good. Don't dunk on them for not reacting sooner just to make yourself feel cooler than 'the libs.'

[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

You know what, I'm guilty of this exact thing. I've been pissed because this has been obviously fascism for sometime now, and it angers me how much it feels like I'm one of the few who paid attention to history while the ignoramuses acted like I was overreacting.

However the truth is you're right. I turned my anger on late coming allies and vented my frustration unfairly in their direction. Ultimately it's better late than never and every ally counts in the fight against fascism. After all a lot of us are about to die, or worse.

[-] [email protected] 80 points 18 hours ago

the best time to start protesting against the fascist takeover of our government was 40 years ago. the second best time is today

[-] [email protected] 26 points 16 hours ago

Like many things, not starting when you should have doesn't make starting later worthless.

100%, embrace them for waking up to the nightmare. We need all the help we can get and you damn well know it.

Better late than never

[-] [email protected] 28 points 19 hours ago

I remember people in my twenties telling me imperialism didn't end and I was like I guesss? Idk tho... But now I see it.

Point is someone's always late to getting woke, even if you clocked it twenty years ago, Panthers clocked it before that. And on and on.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago

They may have taken my circuses but if they take my bread then I’ll really get upset

[-] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

That's in process. The tariff wealth transfer will take time, but they are trying to accelerate it all by implementing a 30% national sales tax.
