This is going to absolutely devastate Florida.

Good. This is what they wanted, as reflected by their votes.

They need as many people as possible to do work

No they don’t. The only thing they need is to be economically and politically quarantined. Florida has become an openly fascist state is a threat to the well-being of the US and the rest of its people. They need to understand the consequences of their choices.

This may actually sink Desantas as a presidential candidate.

Nope. DeSantis was never a viable opponent to Trump, and the numbers have reflected that from day one.

He’s definitely feeling his shitty polling numbers.

Good. You keep electing fascists, you deserve to suffer for your choice.

It’s becoming a lot easier to use the internet a lot less. It’s been turned into such a user-hostile space so domineered by corporations and fascists that most of the internet doesn’t really hold much of an appeal anymore, at least for me.

If the internet died tomorrow and didn’t come back, I’d be annoyed about not being able to use it to order food, manage my bank account, or watch shows/movies, but the world would likely be an overall better place once logistics re-adapted to not having it.

The internet was cool for the first 10-15 years, but it’s been a rapidly worsening cesspit for a long time. Nothing the internet can offer us is worth also tolerating it as a tool for inescapable government and corporate surveillance, and as the most effective imagineable breeding ground for fascism and disinformation.

The internet makes our lives worse in so many more ways than it imporves them, and people are too fucking addicted to it to give a shit.

How many brain sugeries did he perform? How many spaceflight trajectories did he calculate? How many high speed computer processors did he engineer?

Mitch McConnell has personally done more harm to the people of the US than anyone since Reagan. He is one of the greatest monsters in modern American history, directly responsible for immeasurable human suffering and he does not deserve to live.

The next one needs to kill him, and I hope it happens on camera for all of us to watch, because it’s the closest tbong to justice he will ever face.

Have you tried just being a goose?

Yeah, fuck specialists! If you aren’t good at everything, you’re worthless!

Hey, you shouldn’t make fun of congressmen with severe learning disabilities.

I’m not going to be nice to people who insist on keeping the world a dying, dystopian shithole, and it’s not my job to think for them. If people refuse to take a moral stance in the face of societal destruction, they can go fuck themselves and deserve to be belittled.

It’s legitimately cool that buying a new car and having any self-respect whatsoever are mutually exclusive now.

Fuck cars.

My bad. I didn’t realize I was talking to someone stupid enough to look at the state of the world and still be able to cling to the idea that large-scale industrialism has a viable place in the future of society.

You can plan whatever you want, it doesn’t change reality.

Good. If an industry won’t compensate its workers properly, it should be burned to the ground, literally and metaphorically.

Not in any meaningful sense. They’re both run by the same people. Fox is Fox is Fox.

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

Why would we not have those things? Are you incapable of conceptualizing having motivations for creating and doing things other than for financial profit? Why, in your estimation, can’t we have a system were people do things because they care about those things and they’re worth doing because they benefit everyone?

Money is an artificial construct serves no real purpose other than to consolidate power and resources into the hands of a few by depriving the many and keeping them in servitude. Removing money as a motivation, if something is worth having, people will want to have it, which means that some of those people will still choose make/do that thing for their own benefit, which in turn benefits everyone.

If the point of working for money is to use that money to obtain goods and services, there’s no reason to just get rid of the money aspect and just make those goods and services available directly. The only thing that really changes is that we stop over-working ourselves to over-produce frivolous bullshit for the sake of generating more wealth for the wealthy while being denied the fruits of that work.

If we’re not going to abolish money, it should really be entirely illegal for the highest paid person in a company to make more than, say, 15-20 times more than the lowest paid person.

Too many people seem to think that chattel slavery is the only thing that counts as slavery, and that even that doesn’t count if a slaver is less horrible to their slaves than other slavers are.
