i'm interested in seeing how people who voted for him are going to rationalize their support when the tariffs are pushed to consumers to cover. goods and services are going to increase in price and instead of it being due to a series of complicated events that the president is of course involved in it'll be directly Trump's fault. explain that away, please.
a sampling of my favorite singles this month in no particular order. what were some of your most played songs of January? :D
she had a two or three week period of support and then she completely ruined it by promising to capitulate to the right and reaffirmed America's prepardness for war. i saw leftists of all types say they were willing to vote for her as a means to reject fascism if she listened to their concerns. there were tons of jokes about "letting liberals have this one" and the discomfort of having to align with liberals on something. it wasn't every leftist, of course, but.. i'll speak as myself i wasn't expecting Biden to drop out so him actually fucking off gave me the smallest twinkle of hope lol. then it was obliterated. she campaigned with Liz Cheney. Liz. Cheney. great job. very smart of you.
i’m convinced the majority of Americans simply don’t care but feel compelled to answer considering cultural morals, so they choose to express some level of disapproval. not caring here is a symptom of political apathy which is itself a symptom of a exhaustion from living under an oppressive and failed ideology. they don’t care that he died, whatever. worse things to focus on. but they “know that’s wrong” and respond to these questions in the perceived expected way.
so in my mind, the people who don’t care and the people who sympathize with the shooter likely make up more than anyone who criticizes them. i haven’t met a single person who hasn’t had a terrible experience with health insurance. we have all suffered in the health care industry. brian thompson was a social murderer and a fucking parasite.
i don’t understand how it isn’t a massive problem to the public that people will often run campaigns on lies and abandon their supposed principles once in office. Fetterman is probably the biggest recent example of this bullshit except he is even worse because he is not shying away from people pointing out how he has “changed.” he hasn’t changed lol he merely lied. he should be followed everywhere he goes with a crowd of jeers and boos and tomatoes being flung at him.
just make Israel the 51st state already
i have accepted i will eventually be living in a climate crisis for a long time now. i saw that those in power had no intention of preventing further destruction of our planet and forced myself to swallow that pill so i don’t get caught unaware when one day we’re fighting each other over water. i truly hate being pessimistic but other than through a violent revolution dismantling capitalism what chance does the average person have at surviving the upcoming climate wars?
I have only been here a couple days and I am enjoying myself quite a bit. I am finding this refreshing. I was on the verge of exhaustion with popular social media. I'm glad I found Hexbear.
my mother. for the longest time i thought her personality traits were merely her sucking as a person. she was abused and beaten her whole life and the anger she felt made her rotten. as i grew older i started learning about autism and even became close friends with someone who, at the time, was diagnosed with Asperger's. then some time in my 20s i learned that my cousin was being suspected of being on the spectrum by his doctors. i started putting the pieces together then. my mother doesn't understand human interaction. i used to think she was just an impatient, easily bothered, mean, grumpy asshole. but now i see her responding largely out of confusion and not being able to process how disorienting that is. she has gotten better with therapy, thankfully, but at one point in her life she was too difficult to be around. two things she does that make me think she could be autistic is she takes everything literally. she is extremely bad at understanding sarcasm unless it is explicitly laid out lol. also, she just doesn't find a lot of things funny. it's not that she has no sense of humor she just doesn't "get" comedy. she's also very avoidant of people.
something that helps me is focusing on the reason why i have the crush: the person i have feelings for is a good person. i want them to be happy. if that isn’t with me, and i’m not going to disclose my feelings, then i try to remind myself i want what’s best for them even if it doesn’t involve being closer with me. it helps those feelings change.
another example of how sexual minorities are still targeted in the US and are at risk of assault and death. i hope the two men who were victimized are supported by their community and loved ones. it makes me so angry that there are people out there who think gays are “normalized” because same-sex marriage is legal. far from it lol. we are still thought of as immoral and disgusting by tens of millions.
ooo.. exciting :D
hello everyone :3
i go by kuiper and i've recently decided to limit my social media usage to decentralized and federated spaces as much as possible. i am very new to this and have a lot to learn. i've always thought privacy was important but never knew how to avoid being involved with nefarious companies. people gave up my rights to privacy when i was a kid in order to fight wars for profit so i didn't ever get the chance to protect myself. but here i am now! better late than never. i can do what i can at this point to restore my anonymity. if i divulge information that's my choice, not those outside of my control.
things about me.. i am a furry, yes. been in the fandom for eight years now. i love music so damn much. it's truly my passion hobby. i listened to 111 albums released in 2024 alone. i have 3,977 artists in my digital library and i'm always looking for more. feel free to recommend me stuff! huge fan of psychological horror too.
if you have any tips for a newcomer to the fediverse please share. i'd love to take advice from anyone.
publications love doing that shit lol. the whole concept of a carbon footprint was invented to make individual people feel personally responsible for climate change even though corporations pollute 100x more.
