  • Yet they want a blanket ban, and once concentration camps are up and we’re officially beyond the pale…and anything not that same shade of pale finds itself in those camps…I don’t think people are gonna want to emigrate here or any of the five eyes.

    Letting the bankers take the wheel in the 80s has cannibalized the health of all Western society and commodified whatever was left.

    We were told to worship no one other than God/the source/the creator/the allfather/the universe/the truth/whatever you want to call it…but all I see is worship of another invisible diety, this invisible hand of the market - easily the most worshipped god in the modern day. Capitalism is incapable of bringing about salvation, unless you believe in accelerationism, and then everyone participating is gonna be found wanting.

    Like, capitalism has failed to even create a society where it’s own people want to breed in. Something so easy for us and we would rather throw it all away, myself included. For comparison, Mozart had 11 children. 2 survived into adulthood.





  • At the start of COVID, besides stealing supplies from “blue” cities, under gunpoint right off the docks, Trump sent 3 testing machines to Putin. When we ALREADY didn’t have enough.

    He delayed doing anything about it, publically saying, paraphrasing, “it seems like a problem for the blue cities” and didn’t lift a finger until people in the south started dropping like flies

    Over average deaths during that time frame are an order of magnitude higher than the actual reported COVID numbers - That is the only metric that matters. And beyond not helping Americans, he actively stifled help from reaching us

    No SINGLE person in our history is responsible for as many deaths as Trump is, due to his hindering relief. He is the biggest killer of Americans the world has ever seen. Putin definitely got his money’s worth.

    And he sold our nuclear tech to the Saudi’s. Wtf else would Kuschner have received 2Billion USD for?



  • Of course they do.

    Look, womens lib in the 60s was a fucking GODSEND to the owner class. Seemingly overnight the workforce doubled in size and productivity exploded! If you Google a picture of pay v productivity, wealth inequality, and size of the workforce you’ll notice that they all deviate in the late 60s early 70s; roughly 68-71.

    Basic economics, supply and demand. The supply of workers just ballooned, but the demand for it, oh no, all the owners had to do was not build that last factory that would’ve allowed full employment. Extra workers keeps wages down. Immigration keeps wages down, same unadulterated logic, irregardless of the whatever the Democrats or CNN spit at you. "it’s an overall benefit for society to have a ton of immigration…cuz it keeps wages down and all the money flowing to the top. Shut down immigration and businesses would have to compete for talent again (but we don’t have capitalists anymore, the owners would rather collude than compete. Today’s rich are aspiring techno-feudal royalty, by Divine Right of the Invisible Hand). If immigration is a net positive for “society”, if only high society; then no immigration, = money flows into calloused hands. We’re all stretched so thin already, getting parity back against capital would spur the greatest economy ever seen. 200million people with extra money after bills?




  • That’s pretty foul. I have some sympathy for the patrons if that’s the case. Nowhere that I read was cannibalism mentioned. I’d argue arresting those involved if that’s the truth. Prions are fucking deadly serious and survive outside the body, after a person dies, and until picked up by something else. And they’ll hop species too. The literal embodiment of the dark world, just pure evil anti-life. There’s a proper analogy in some video game somewhere that I’m not finding at the moment…idk. it’s like, imagine every prion is a burnt out crystal on an LCD screen. Once there’s enough out there…it’s game over.


  • I wonder how extreme the piercings were. What qualifies as extreme to the Germans…

    Long syringes into the glutamis maximus? Or syringes piercing labia? Youchie.

    Extreme like metal chopsticks thru cheeks?

    Extreme like suspending people by hooks into their backs? Cuz that’s just a Tuesday for some people.

    Or maybe running a sword between the liver and kidneys? It can be done, just thru flesh, missing the internal organs. I’d call that pretty extreme, none of which would make me nauseous tho. Degloving is the only thing that’s made my stomach physically feel like it was turning over, and if you don’t know what that is, I don’t recommend finding out.



  • Affluenza.

    Once you have so much it’s obscene, you don’t have any peers.

    Without peers, you don’t have true accountability. Without accountability man becomes monster

    It should be in the DSM, seriously. Then we can argue we’re legislating a maximum annual income limit for their own good, to protect their mental health - and we wouldn’t be lying in the least.

    Ever met a wealthy child?

    Monsters. All of em. #eattherich

    The truly sad part too, is real connection to the past, to humanity, that wave of empathy and seeing your place in the chain, happens when we are doing the same mundane things that those chucklefucks think their too good for. First time it happened to me I was meading the dough for some daily bread. And it was like the history of my ancestors and I all merged into one, all around this one activity.

    People without people aren’t people.


  • I mean…Russia stands to benefit the most from climate change. Followed by Canada.

    A few degrees centigrade and just about everything below the 40th parallel become unhabitable. That leaves the northern border states in the US. 350million of us gonna squeeze into Washington, Montana (fuck Idaho) N.Dakota Minnesota, NY, New Hampy, Verminion and Maine? IDK about that.

    For the first 20 years of my life I thought we would step up and have a plan to avoid the worst. That next 20 years I was waiting for real coordination to be heard over the politicking. The last few years I realized we do have a plan. And that plan is the exact one I thought was waaaay too barbaric for modern times but now I’m convinced it’s the only outcome we’ve planned for at all.

    And that’s to build the wall and drop a machine gun every 20ft. There’s ~200million people between us and South America and the army has way way more ammunition stored up than just that.

    So the choice of having the world’s rich humbled down to the common man and we all degrowth or slaughter 200million people, America has chosen blood.

    I’m a big fan of two different but similar thoughts.

    When a person tells you who/what they are, believe them

    And

    I judge things based on what they output, not by rhetoric said at the beginning. Intentions are great but y’all get no points for em. All I care about are results.

    Neoliberalism, as it plays out, is corporatism. There’s a revolving door between industry and Congress. Citizens United. Legalized bribery/lobbying. No one or thing has benefitted more from the last 43 years than the corporation.

    Mussolini, the first fascist, the guy who started it all came up with the word, commissioned a giant big brother face on the outside of his building (for real yo, that shit is terrifying), summarily defined fascism as the merger of the corporation and the state. Indeed, if you open the history books, his entire government was made up of industry leaders. It might be the closest we’ve come to technocracy actually.

    I can only conclude that neoliberalism is fascism-lite and I feel I’m being generous there. Corporations are set up with authoritarian framework complete with the cult of personality worship of the CEO who’s above reproach/questioning/the law. There is not one thing democratic about it, which should terrify you, when you couple that thought with the fact that corporations are hell bent on monopoly at any cost. Any. Cost.

    Politics is nothing but coordinated violence, in that it is nothing but coercion of people against their own interests. If you’re an interested party, than youre adding to the coercion of others. If you stay out of it, then it’s not political to you is it?

    Politics:violence

    Politics:economics

    Economics:violence

    Try telling people whose rent has doubled or tripled within a decade that economics isn’t violence. You’ll experience some carnal violence in return, I’m sure.

    Politics = violence; it’s the NC-17 version, violence all grown up and sophisticated. Sanitized for TV, in it for the sound bites. In fact, I’d say at least half of it is theatre alone. It’s even been packaged up for the people to play along from home. The evolution of violence, fun for the whole family. I mean, what else would we talk about come holidays? HELPING each other?!?
