You wish it was clean up time. There's still theoretically three more years, and that's assuming there's not an attempt at a third term.

You guys have a lot of guns, DO YOU NOT?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes but going in solo is suicidal and we currently lack revolutionary leadership.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"someone else do it please" is not the mentality to have if you actually want revolution.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Hot take and so easy to type out with nothing at stake for you, but I'll reply anyway.

With stakes like these, being stupid and trying to do something you know you'll fail at helps nobody, and actually hurts whatever cause you would have eventually joined. When the things I am good at are needed to topple a tyrant, I'll answer the call. I can't help if I'm dead or locked up. I'm not a person that can get a movement off the ground and inspire enough people to join and act in a coordinated fashion that it actually succeeds. Very, very few people are capable of that. That's why we are where we are right now.

This person gets it.

We need to wait until it is not an actual crime. Rebellion is illegal, until it isn't.

I keep imagining a tipping point where a large percentage of the population wakes up one day and smacks their forehead while saying "OMG, the corruption won't stop because the people that would vote to stop the corruption are all corrupt" ... then they start assembling guillotines.

Nah, im sure you would survive!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Me too, that’s why I haven’t done anything yet. Gotta be sure.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Leftists have less guns than we should.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but, using our guns??? What an unspeakable idea! I mean honestly. Who's ever heard of a shooting happening in the USA???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, I do, but I voted for trump.

Feeling pretty OK so far.

Fascists pleased fascism is being implemented. More at 11.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Fascists were super happy when they fomented riots and tried to assassinate the other guy, but they were super disappointed when they lost and started getting their people and propaganda removed from government.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Damn, shitjustworks allows fascists?

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

Sh.itjust.works has been an open instance for a long time, which has lead to some moderation problems in the past. Source: it used to be my home instance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, you're on here. So obviously yes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

In today's news: little fascists not understanding where they even currently are.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand this one.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty much, yeah. Starts out seeming like she's trying to stop a kid from a bad decision, then instead of a bunch of toys falling down or whatever, leopards ate their face. So like any good parent, she helps them start cleaning up from the consequences of their actions.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The “you and me both” is a bit odd.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Implying she is not a liberal, most likely a socialist

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

THIS. Been reading her stuff for twenty years. Hits right in the feels.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

We should all be in the fight to own the neolibs

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, unfortunately trump supporting men are just toddlers in disguise like their cult leader, so their wives have to herd them into doing the right thing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You say this as if half of white women didn't vote for Trump

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah… it's more of a combined educational-, economical- and cult-problem, paired with a bad political system. It can affect anyone depending on their situation in life, causing them to be either incompetent, blinded in some way or outright radicalized.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Im guessing this is about conservative parents?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's a leftist. Stuck patching up the other person, likely without a proper follow-up unless something doesn't heal right.

Liberals will happilly tell them its their fault for riding a skateboard, walking when there's a car available, or, knowing Jenny's fam/friends from her comics, "playing with" tannerite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I fucking wish my neighbors would stop playing with fucking tannerite. It scares my dog half to death. Fuck tannerite and fuck people who light it on fire. Get a hobby.

Edit: sorry, rant. Still, fuck tannerite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Shooting is a hobby. Tannerite is for target practice.
