And may we all know what it’s like to be rained on by Trump chunks. If we’re lucky enough that they’re plan is to blow it up, that is.

At least the box of chocolates won’t brag about it like that gross fucking cuntbag afterwards

My dad, who is an unhappy wreck of a human, is fully open about the fact that he is both happy to support Twitler and happy that he’ll die before he faces the negative consequences of Twitler being in power. It’s a psychological disaster of a generation.

All it does is remind me that they used to cost $2 five years ago

Hey, but at least your pay also went up 150%!

And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss. People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind—it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.

As an American who didn’t vote for Trump, this is fair. This electorate and country is getting everything it deserves.

Thank you!

Didn’t you hear? God emperor Trump made that whole silly India/Pakistan thing go away /s

This feels like celebrating a neighborhood burning cause you got mugged once when walking through it.

Then you and I have very different conceptions of a neighborhood. Neighborhoods contain humans and are good and bad as a correlate to their good or bad effect on people’s lives. Companies contain products and are good or bad based on how well they do or don’t serve the profit of shareholders.

Moreover a company facing consequences for giving all of its power to a fascist intent on literally funnelling the world’s wealth to himself and turning us back to feudalism is not merely symbolic, especially since his wealth is still tied to it. Sucks to suck. They could’ve dumped him with the Cybertruck.

Lastly, though bankrupting a company isn’t merely symbolic in this case, symbolic retribution is not worthless. If we made effigies of these people and executed them, lit them on fire, and dragged them through the streets, there would be real effects. The coalescing of the people’s anger, the fear of those who were burned in effigy, whatever steps that would be taken in response. Symbolic acts have power.

destroys (by taxing) money as wants

This is a great response to the prompt, “Tell us you’re a libertarian who doesn’t know anything about economics in fewer words.”

I’ll grant you that this is very much an American sentiment currently, but it’s not exactly a purely tribal take when the centrist opinion is that sometimes Nazis can have good ideas.

Wonder how long until Israel bombs the Popemobile

This isn’t a baby step. This is someone saying, “Let’s murder all the Jews” and all the other Germans throwing money at them for saying it.

Rabid cunts are not pretty

I think we’re in the timeline where good things happen to bad people forever. I hate this place.

American social safety nets and retirement readiness has always been extremely weak. Now it’s actively being targeted and destroyed by the government. So unless experts are telling you to reduce that risk by amassing in arms, revolting, targeting the ultra wealthy, and going to war with the government, they ain’t shit.

I know you’ve got an asshole’s username and should’ve stayed on reddit

So countdown to Republicans planting furries in schools
