Biden was an og Congressional neoliberal. A prominent one. He helped Reagan convert Republican’s former opposition party into the corpo bribe taking, social inclusion!.. Economic die in the streets… party it is today, locking arms with Republicans to defend our murderous economy from us as they stoke social division between us so we don’t look up at our sociopath owners.

Voted for him out of harm reduction compared to Trump, a vote for quiet not peace, but fuck Joe Biden.

Has the sun tried threatening potential converts?

Works gangbusters for for the most popular religions.

Hell, they usually steal the sun’s defining characteristic to threaten followers with: 🔥🔥🔥.

Life past 60 seems has always been a very strange priority to sacrifice for to me, at least if you can only afford to either live today or subsist today and save for life past 60, which has basically become the choice for most here in the US as most wages don’t allow for both, and many for either.

Let’s assume you make it there having not gotten hit by a bus or killed by cancer or your healthcare insurance confidence scheme provider.

You’ve literally saved up so you could enjoy life when your senses are failing you, your mind is growing dull and confused, your own frail body is betraying you in new ways constantly, and your time is largely spent managing the ever growing list of symptoms building up to your impending death.

Sure there are exceptions, people who remain verile and sharp into their seventies, but they are not the rule. That’s like planning your life around a future lottery win.

Live for today, especially if you’re into your 30s or beyond. Better to have memories of living when you could in the shitty home with bad food then having memories of working and saving in the good home with the decent food your failing taste buds can’t really even appreciate anymore.

Oh gee I hope I get to live long enough to piss myself involuntarily again! Maybe I’ll finally take that cruise so I can soil myself in style and stay in my cabin because my body can’t regulate it’s own heat efficiently anymore!

Always appreciated, FS. It helps me to improve!

I’m not either. But I find peace in understanding, even if the answers suck, as this one does.

If I had an in anywhere in Europe, I’d leave and never look back.

I phone banked for Sanders twice, but have finally accepted this place would take generations of concerted effort to be anything less than cruel and inhuman. It’s too proud of the core causes of its rot (worshipped sociopathic “free to die in the streets market” economy, pride in individualism over community or society, social resentment of paying into Commons like public Ed, greed seen as virtue rather than character deficit and social ill, etc) to want to change.

Ask any therapist, if someone isn’t seeking change, you won’t get anywhere with them. We want things to get better, but we still want to dream of being millionaires and billionaires, and to remain addicted to harmful social opiates like social media, fast food, extreme consumerism, literal opiates, etc.

Voted for Harris out of usual attempted harm reduction because this place is irreparably destroyed since Reagan, but let’s not kid ourselves, Donald Trump represents the United States as it is perfectly.

Proudly ignorant, proudly greedy, proudly gluttonous, obese, egotistical, explicitly judges others on net worth, perpetually drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude, obsessed with image and his own ego score, demands loyalty and servitude while providing none aka a devout capitalist, obsessed with economic metastasis at literally any human and societal cost, proudly racist while still insisting he’s not, the embodiment of what Americans disgustingly praise: a hyperindividualist who revels in blaming people not born to wealth for their suffering and insists this is a meritocracy after a lifetime of spending daddy’s money.

Donald Trump is like the zeitgeist of the modern United States somehow took tangible human form. You can try to argue we don’t deserve him, or that we have the potential to be a better society than one that would elect him, but you can’t argue he represents who and what a loathsome society we are. A monument of all our sins.

He’s more American as apple pie or baseball ever was, and he’s at least as American as our current national pastimes of mass shootings and of course disgusting hyper-consumption.

That’s why he illicits such a strong response in both directions. Whether you are repulsed or see your own necrotic heart in him, He is an accurate mirror of the practiced culture of The United States of America.

As an American, let me just say, 🎶 Oh Canada… 🎶

Capitalists are more efficient than both.

They don’t see almost anyone as human.

You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.

We’re so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:

Not with a ten meter cattle prod for me, anyone willing to indulge Zuck’s midlife Nazi crisis deserves him.

Why should I care about who the US sees as the enemy? I was born here and I’m seen as nothing more than livestock for our capitalists, when they aren’t funding and supplying a genocide against poors halfway around the world.

No way I’m going to rejoin Metabook after 10 years now that they’ve gone full Nazi.

Downloaded Rednote. Cool app. Fuck the hometeam that chose to be the opposite of a society. It’s only the home team if it’s a team, it’s been made clear to most Americans that we’re just a bunch of rugged individuals at each other’s throats for oligarch scraps and we can get fucked and die to profit healthcare scammers.

I’d rather have my clicks profit our supposed enemy than us at this point with “friends” like my country.

That is fucked up. Multimillionaires and billionaires, in this case a nepo heiress, losing their third and fourth vanity properties is an inconvenience they will underpay people to suffer for them.

We have Americans dying of exposure in the streets every day by choice for the crime of being defective capital batteries for the people that live in Malibu. Go cry a river for people who have massive blood drenched investment portfolios in the exploitation casino, you’re less than human to them.

We love capitalism so much, here have some more.

So like the New York Times?

Relevant username.

That’s hot 🔥

Agent Smith (the Wachowskis) had us dead to rights.

We are a macro cancer of the natural world. You can point to our supposed good works, but from the perspective of most surface life, well… the surface life we haven’t yet exterminated in the name of glorious economic metastasis, we are a fucking plague.

Metastatic tumors refuse to stop too. It’s in their nature.

I find consolation in knowing we aren’t the first macro cancer Earth has survived, see the trees of the carboniferous period, and life will survive our species’ very loud, eager murder suicide.
