I'm starting to really consider the whole "reality is a simulation" angle, and whoever is running the game has put in a cheat code. (not really really, but more than I ever have before)

It's like a shitty unrealistic movie plot has unfolded over the past decade. And every time it looks like maybe things are heading back on track, BOOM, we get another event that just turns us right back on the track to crazytown.

I'm having a hard time coming up with anything I can cling to in the hopes that Project 2025 isn't going to go exactly as planned down to the last detail.

How are we not going to become real-world Gilead (but with more racism)?

All I’ll say is you’re not taking the “reality is a simulation” angle far enough, because you still believe that there is some sort of outcome that is both objectively good AND long term stable. But the only such outcome is that the simulation goes on, with or without you.

When Johnsons lips met trumps ass he pushed back real hard.

You are still on the acid trip, just ride it until it's over. It'll be more fun if you just let it do its thing.

The stun lock keeps on as planned

Buy a gun and practice marksmanship, you limp-wrist coward. Complain online while doing nothing and watch the world burn or do what I do and join an LGBTQ marksmanship club, protest, give back to local community with volunteer hours,.

Using a slur and telling someone to join an LGBT group is certainly a choice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Is “limp-wrist coward” a slur? Seems more like an insult of someone’s habits.

On the off chance you're somehow unaware, limp wristedness is an extremely common negative stereotype of gay men.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can only say I was genuinely unaware of that. I'm now curious as to the chances someone might "invent" such a phrase aimed at political keyboard warriors, not knowing its homophobic nature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I'm not sure how people don't know about it. It's a pretty widely used one that's been around for a very long time. At least since '98 when this queer punk band named themselves limp wrist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limp_Wrist

Complaining about politics online instead of taking action.

As effective as they were in pushing Biden left

I actually have more hope. Every fascist regime ultimately fell and outside of the billionaire controlled media it will be difficult to burn the records.

The reality is that a two tiered justice system will always create a group of people who feel emboldened. The correct response is to document these people's crimes, and stay mad. If the opportunity to hold them accountable comes, take it.

The democrats still aren't taking this seriously because they will be among the last to be targeted directly. Their friends are still people like Netanyanhu who flout a similar multi tiered justice system.

Work toward building local governments who will push back and provide resources for people who need it.

I don’t know if this is necessarily a good thing, but I’m a firm believer in the political pendulum, and I believe that if Trump fails to provide what he promised to the working class in terms of economic prosperity we will see the rise of a left wing populist movement in America (perhaps the first of its kind?). I’m not talking a Bernie Sanders Social Democrat but a full blown socialist movement. The risk here is that this movement could rise from within MAGA itself, keeping the cultural/social framework (aka white nationalism) but ditching the economic framework (capitalism). Already there are factions within the alt and new right that flirt with socialist ideals.
