I’m no Marxist. I’m also not American. But I’m pretty sure it’s more about the erosion of human rights and the rise of an autocratic regime. Shit looks pretty bleak for Americans. To get an idea of what’s coming next Elon musk and Donald trump want to follow the insanity of Curtis yarvin. JD Vance and Peter Thiel want to follow project 2025. Neither end well.
As a European, it actually saddens me that America has gone this way.
The left have been warning about exactly what’s happening for years. Practically screaming it into traffic. Noone has listened, noone has taken us seriously, noone has thought to actually stand up to the oligarchs.
After a while you have to stop treating them like children who don’t know better and come to the realisation that they want the cruelty and oppression. They just don’t want it to happen to them.
Once the extrajudicial deportations start, anyone still onboard with it is by definition hostile and an active supporter of fascism. These people can’t be reasoned with.
Pretty sure it’s not about money.
I’m pretty sure the rise of fascism has a tendency to get the left riled up. So technically you are correct.
Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?
Grew up atheist, went through a semi serious pagan phase, got certified as a shaman, went back to atheism. Will still throw in the odd ritual, but more with the expectation that it will affect the way I think about a problem rather than the ritual doing anything on its own.
So like if you have a job interview you can either raw dog it and show your lack of confidence or.preform a ritual and gain some confidence which will count in your favour during the interview.h
Is the ritual doing any direct alterations? No, but it’s still useful.
Yes but inciting violence is generally frowned upon. So I’ll let people come to their own conclusions there.

Ok, well what trump did last time was ban Muslims from entering the country and formally recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the American embassy there. So I’m not really sure what you expected from him this time.
Wether or not you believe them to be guilty of supporting a genocide, they never publicly said they’d turn Gaza into a beach resort in which Palestinians are not welcome to live. Least harmful option even in the case of Palestine. The correct thing is to vote for Harris and then protest relentlessly to try and get through to them. But now you have a dictator who doesn’t care about public opinion as long as he can line his pockets. It probably won’t be long before they start shooting protesters so good luck changing anything when that happens.
Please understand that the democrats are further right than most countries mainstream right wing parties in Europe noone really likes that Germany elected the CDU (politically similar to the democrats) but we’re all very pleased that afd didn’t get a majority. Vote for the least damaging candidate and work on the system by protesting. Noone thinks Biden and Harris are saints, they’re just the least harmful option.
Because they worry (with good reason) that in a first past the post voting system, splitting the liberal votes from the left votes will mean that every single seat in the house and senate will go to the republicans. As shit as the democrats are, they aren’t dyed in the wool fascists. The republicans do enough damage with a simple majority. With a two thirds majority they can start making changes to the constitution. And the very structure of the government.
If you find yourself on jury duty in a very specific case (you know which one) you should know about this but pretend like you don’t.
I’ve had shared finances with my partner since we moved in together. It’s worked well for us because she’s really good with money. Probably not for everyone though. Basically we make sure everything is paid and put whatever is left in a joint account.
I don’t know. I’m a guy and I really enjoy the horizon games including the dialogue and character development. I don’t think the interactions and dialogue would work if Aloy were a dude.
You know you just called him a ball sack in Inuktitut, right?
🫲🏻====😃====🫱🏻 about this big.
Yes, but the sea is fucking cold as fuck so I don’t. We were required to learn in primary school including the correct way to jump off a boat wearing a life jacket. And how to get a person in distress back to shore.
I knew someone who learned as an adult by reading a book about the mechanics of swimming and then getting into a pool and swimming.
Fuck all most likely. You’d have to have an extremely steady hand and do it as the plane was landing. But the pupil of a pilots eyeball is an extremely small target.
