    A well trained, well beaten dog.

    An economic Uncle Ruckus. They train us from birth to see shame in not being wealthy, it sadly works. Some of our economy’s victims internalize their own dehumanization and see it as the natural order to report on their fellow inferiors to their betters.

    The same people mourning BriBris loss by hilariously trying to shame everyone for not condemning his murder while conveniently ignoring all the people he murdered through policy, and whose policies murdered people yesterday, and will today, tomorrow…



  • I think they mean we’ve been propagandized to undermine, oh I’m sorry, “compete with,” one another instead of having any social solidarity.

    We’d be a threat to the owners as they hurt us for profit if we all understood the reality that they’re our common enemy.

    For Profit Media: left right, old young, black white, gay straight, beat eachother bloody, poories!

    …just don’t look up.








  • I’ve kept voting for the left most party with a chance, for my own conscience and for harm reduction, not for hope, for 20 years.

    There’s been no hope because our left most party has met their opposition so far up their ass, they only look left to a full blown fascist, and both parties openly take the same corporate bribe money to keep this exploitative economy and it’s inhuman priorities exactly as it is while they war over how to, or if to, address some of the social issue symptoms it causes or exacurbates, so long as it doesn’t meaningfully effect quarterly earnings results.

    I could at this point be easily be convinced to vote third party for an explicitly anti-corporatist party even if it didn’t have a chance.

    The public, surprisingly bipartisan reaction (voters, not reps, obviously) to what happened a few days ago in New York has given me more hope for positive change in our cesspool of greed enablement than I have felt in my entire life. At some level, it seems many of our people do understand, despite all the corpo propaganda, that their enemy causing most of our ills aren’t to their left or right, but economically above, encouraging us to fight about the symptoms of their dictates to THEIR captured government.

    I would rather a left-wing populist steal the corpo DNC’s base right out from under them as Trump did in 2016 to the RNC so it could have one of the only two banners that matter helping, but I sadly also think the DNC would rather do everything possible to lose than be dragged along like that and lose the corporate bribe gravy train that left-wing populism, unlike right-wing populism, would need to fight against.

    People who don’t eat or have shelter quickly don’t figure anything out.

    They die.

    Regardless of identity, some things are universal to the human condition.

    I’m also not against a politician celebrating LGBTQ culture. Im completely for it.

    …As long as their voting record doesn’t stand directly against their interests, and instead align with their claimed advocacy and you probably know problems like homelessness disproportionately effect LGBTQ individuals.

    They aren’t a substitute in lieu of governance or political progress either, and are often treated like they are by neoliberals.

    “LGBTQ people” are people who need to eat too. Rainbow ribbons aren’t hurting anyone, but they aren’t edible either.

    The American people aren’t getting their physiological and safety needs taken care of on Maslow’s hierarchy, paying lip service to the top of the pyramid while intentionally letting the base rot away is only patronizing. It’s only opportunism.

    Its the difference between saying you love someone and being in a position to show them and never doing so. You want to give them credit for the clearly self-serving platitude with no action behind it?

    Here I’ll do what you’ve been doing, why do you have a problem with poor LGBTQ people who need more than affirmation if they are to survive?

    I’m saying rainbow ribbons don’t feed the homeless trans person dying in the gutter on the street.

    I’m saying it’s a feel good thing that doesn’t materially help them or anyone that needs material help to continue to be alive. Oh, you’re starving to death? Well here, I’ll affirm your identity and not feed you.

    How about giving those trans people universal Healthcare without private insurers denying their claims for profit? Nope. Here’s a rainbow ribbon though, because that won’t piss off my wealthy bribers.

    Acknowledging anyone as they wish to be acknowledged is just basic decency and courtesy. Help your fucking Contituents in a material way is what I’m saying.

    Ooh the ACA!

    You mean that Heritage Foundation created Healthcare band-aid that was originally implemented by a Republican governor that bent over backwards to further enshrine for profit private insurers, like United Healthcare, in our perverse deathcare system where the primary issue was the profit motive making American Healthcare unsustainably expensive with the some of the poorest results in the developed world because greed?

    That plan Obama instutituted after the people screamed “Please help us supposedly leftwing Obama from this for profit healthcare hellscape! Here have a super majority!”

    👏Yeah, that worked a treat, Americans are really satisfied with their healthcare now.

    Now go ahead and tell me about how they couldn’t whip Joe Manchin into shape so it’s all they could do, because there’s always an excuse. Decade after decade passes, and the people are told they just need to be more patient. Maybe they’ll decide to make an equitable economy and non-exploitative Healthcare in a few thousand years.

    Good fucking grift, by both parties. Left and right since Reagan have been little more than a sideshow to distract from class occupation, class subjugation, and class slaughter for profit.

    I vote blue out of the tiniest of harm reduction, not hope, because rainbow ribbons are preferable to kids in cages in this dystopia, but don’t kid yourself on their social issue bickering, they take the same orders from the same bribers on the economy.

    We don’t get a vote that would cost the owners significant blood money. They own this fucking place, and all of us.
