Accidental optimism?

Yeah, I just read something about that. The word “mangled” was specifically used.

Just let our mexican and Canadian neighbors take over the USA. We’ve proven to be unworthy of making wise choices.

Dangerously.

I’d probably crawl under a corner of the pile and them “save” me. Or run.

Make everyone but “us” poor, so they can’t afford to resist. Just start with marginalized populations (bc that is who america truly is deep down).

Divide and conquer

Hey I got you. But you make yourself look like a fool to reduce the situation to such binary terms.

If you think I asked for this or supported others in choosing this, you are incorrect. I’ve been pushing for Bernie for 15 years.

The whole “the cruelty is the point” thing is so foreign to me. It isn’t difficult to cause hardship with clean intentions. To cause intentional pain broadly and blindly just doesn’t make sense to me. And I can “devils advocate” and try to empathize fairly well (hard to know if that’s true without acting like a creeper).

Global dominance?

Agree to an extent. Its a tool that can aid talentless folk like myself shitpost, and has its place. But I agree with tags and disagree with inundating forums and stealing ip

Siiiiickamore

Also like California passing public health laws and companies deciding it is easier to comply to the entire U.S. instead of duplicating product lines.

Truth. Also stop deforestation

Tossing a lit firecracker at an unsuspecting friend is a bit beyond mean.

And the biscuit tube is frightening. Sometimes, I chase my girlfriend around with a half-peeled one.

Then I have to start buying extra fiber supplements. Gotta watch them hidden costs.

We have several junk drawers. Maybe they all are.

I would, too. If I were a billionaire.

Truth.

Corpos might cave to pressure. Another politician might get elected.

Or your consumer/voter base might get dumb and complacent.

Good luck, all

That’s beautiful. Thank you

For real. Buying groceries is increasingly stressful. Folk tend to reach into personal space of others, leave their carts in intersections, and generally not give a damn about the person next to them.

I take it very slow and skip the aisle I kind of wanted something from if I see a complication I’d rather not deal with.

We never see ourselves as part of the problem. It isn’t easy, though.
