  • Reminder that it is known fact that this dumbfuck tub of lard and syphilis spends up to 8 hours a day, every day, watching cable news to see what people are saying about him. Instead of actually completing presidential duties, or listening to briefings and getting his information from the most sophisticated intelligence network in the history of mankind.



  • Right now it’s the legal infrastructure, mostly. The mechanism they seem to most prefer developing is making LGBT+ existence pornographic. They are already trying to ban porn in general per P2025, but leveraging the severity of sex crimes to abuse them in particular is not a giant legal stretch once they have the precedent.

    The mental illness angle would give the public the sense that they care, that they’re “helping” those “afflicted”, but may be harder to sell upfront. It’ll probably be a post-facto justification once they’re already rounding people up.

    As far as physical structures, they are opening and reopening prisons at breakneck pace for the deportation effort. There will be no shortage of places to stuff anyone they don’t like.


  • If the topics of discussion are:

    1. Nonwhites should be subject to warrantless search, arrest, detainment, and deportation, and we are actively carrying it out.
    2. LGBT+ should be considered a mental illness and be imprisoned in “psychiatric facilities” and we are actively building the framework to do so.
    3. MAGA is the party of real Americans, everyone else is a perfidious traitor and should be targeted, and we are openly entertaining this idea.

    There isn’t anything to discuss, really. Fascist “discussion” is a distraction, a charade, an amusement, while they work to undermine norms and institutions and do real harm.

    You want to see what MAGATs mean by “open discussion”, look at Patel’s and Hegseth’s Senate hearings. Repeating blatant lies, hollow rhetoric, and when pressed even a little, they angrily accuse everything and everyone in the room of being a fraud and a traitor. Nothing but contempt for the institutions they are forced to abide by, for now. I guarantee they were both thinking “I can’t wait to give the order to throw all these fucking communist worms in a hole” the entire time.

    There is nothing to discuss with a fascist. There’s only what you can do to neutralize their influence.










  • The short version is even the seemingly well-meaning ones are making or alluding to promises they just can’t keep.

    The key problem with cryonics is that water expands into ice crystals when frozen, and the human body is 70% water. Tissues, including critical brain tissue, are destroyed. Dessication before freezing would also cause damage. Some firms say they have the secret sauce or are close to it, but nobody has answered this question AFAIK.

    And then there’s the longevity. These facilities claim to be able to run decades or even centuries, without failure, but that is an extremely high bar regardless of how much money you throw at it. Power fluctuations and equipment failure take their toll. There are already stories of cadavers turning into soup in their care.
