The papers we hold up and say “this will be the foundation of our government, society, and economy” can say anything we want, but none of the words on the page matter once the people in the system abdicate their responsibilities to point at something wrong, refuse to participate, and work against it.

SOX controls are the result of the Enron fraud, but those are also just words on a page. The US Constitution is just words on a page. SCOTUS may very well rule this year that the US government cannot deport native-born, tax-paying, passport-holding, lived-here-all-their-lives US citizens.

Watch as the Trump administration does it anyway. It’s all just words to them.

Well there’s the disaster that was hexbear…

You gotta actively try to reach that kinda score, it’s almost impressive. You have to go out of your way to be a jackass.

I missed an opportunity to say the bunkiest of funches, and I’ll never forgive myself.

hear ye hear ye, behold the funkiest of bunches

Fuck, I got lost in the UI. 😂 Mbin is great but there’s just a little too much visual noise.

Ah I see my mistake, thanks for clearing that up. Makes me wish “meanwhileongrad” was still around.

Am I misreading the modlog? This was .world’s moderator removing SereneSadie’s comment. The .ml user was just the OP.

If it helps you sleep at night…

Not to mention it won’t work. Democrats could throw LGBT, people of color, women, all under the bus, but the Republicans will find some new minority to slap them with. They’ll just make up the next enemy to be mad at.

So it’s a complete disaster to abandon the only people still willing to come to your defense. Because imaginary enemies can’t vote for the opposition…

Me too friend, me too.

I mean they literally called their campaign “the revenge tour.” There’s nothing they want to build because a fascist regime like this already has everything they need: huge amounts of capital, channels to pipe out propaganda, and hoards of mindless hate-filled followers, all of them armed to the teeth.

“What else is on the agenda” is getting rid of anything and anyone that can stand up to them.

Hot take: Walz/Harris might have won, but Harris/Walz just never stood a chance.

They’ll just fill the place with known loyalists, party officials, and MAGA social media influencers, denying access to actual republican voters.

They’ll be quiet and listen to their master like good little boys and girls, and then they’ll go on social media and say “see? our town hall was full of republicans and it was peaceful! your town hall must have been infiltrated by socialists!”

The town hall outrage will just become another charade, if it hasn’t already, very very soon.

@Xanza@lemm.ee Among my friends, it replaced Facebook Messenger, Teamspeak, and Mumble instantly. It was fast and the voice quality was excellent. The appeal in 2017 was obvious. The bloat that it had tacked onto it since then is egregious.

Don’t get me started on the “rewards”…
