I got a MAGA across the street from me who reported my thistles because he thought my plants on my property were devaluing his property.

This is the same guy who got drunk, smashed up his son's car in the street with a sledgehammer, then drained all the gas and oil out of his motorcycle into the storm drain and left the bike lying in the middle of the road.

lead headed antics

This isn't really a fair comparison - I'd rather have a LITERAL garbage dump next door than a MAGA.

A happy family with different life experiences to share? That's a GOAL to HOPE for.

When i grew up we had shit bag neighbors and they would occasionally threaten to do shitty neighbor things like cutting down property line trees and such. The threat always include we are going to sell to an Indian family or else... My mom would say do it, we would love to have good neighbors. These people are so backwards that their threats are a progressive changes that we would like to have.

I mean, it could be worse than a garbage dump.

Flaming sanitation depot.

Sewage treatment plant. It'd still be better than a MAGA neighbor. At least you can get used to the smell of sewage.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They're both full of shit, but at least one provides value for the community. That's why I'd chose the sewage plant.

such unrealized potential of web content to be fault tolerant, searchable, and not ableist

They're not mutually exclusive. What about an undocumented immigrant family (with happy trans kids) of white supremacist, racist MAGA lunatics? Is that a numberwang?

I believed MAGA is actually a small select movement that is loudly amplified by billionaires and their huge propaganda machine. Although FOX News is leading in viewership and Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan are all usually in the top ten podcasts.

It's not Americans really want to lose all their benefits and give all their money to rich people. It's just that a big machine (that might as well have wah-wah-wah sound effects and brain beams) has convinced a lot of people to disregard their eyes and ears and faculties and vote for the blonde orange god-king dude.

77 million voters voted for Trump. I lost my mind to that revelation. Rich people literally made a zombie machine, and they're already zombieing at victims and killing them, and putting captives in internment.

I think if we can counter this, we can actually move towards community-based societies and reach for the stars. I also think if we can't do it in a timely manner, we'll choke ourselves out as greenhouse emissions light more and more of the world on fire.

Yeah no shit. I'd rather have a happy family living next to me that just wants a happy life than a pile of shit nazi family.

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

From reading all of these comments, I feel like that should be a new thing. Talking about all the terrible things we'd rather experience than have a MAGA person living nextdoor (an immigrant family with trans kids not being a terrible thing, of course).

I'll go next, I would rather have a painful pimple right at the crease/transition from your leg to your butt that has to be popped every day, which is excruciating, rather than live next to MAGA person.

Dude you must hate MAGA person

My dad, once a brilliant rocket scientist is now a full-on MAGA disciple, and in the past few years (when I was still arguing politics with him) he started submitting FOX News talking points as if they were his own.

I'm on suicide watch this year.

Okay, I should clarify, so as not to scare:

spoilerSome really bad life-altering shit happened in November 2024, and I wasn't prepared for it. This includes the 2024 General Election, in which 77 million people voted for the let's-do-a-holocaust guy, who campaigned on nothing less than a coup d'etat and a massive purge of undesirables. So far, he's following through.

Human beings are expendable, according to the people that are held up by society as inspirational. The mere existence of CECOT tells me that I was just plumb born to the wrong species.

The chart below (courtesy of the CDC) shows where I am. It's not actually that uncommon right now for people in the United States to gravely consider whether it's worth suffering existence, and wondering if they're needed enough to justify their resource footprint.

My suicidal ideation is continuous (at least once every hour, which is off the charts for most suicide treatment programs) but they're passive. It'd be better if I never existed; It'd be convenient if I slipped down the stairs, or if one of the countless motorists in Sacramento could do me the service of running a red at freeway speeds. I have a number scale regarding my suicidality. Since 2015, it's averaged 3 or 4, and this year it's at 6-7. On medications / coming down from medications, it has gotten up to 9.5

There are still some persons (including my cat and my dog) who need me, but at the point I can no longer care for them (say, if they get killed by ICE before a SWAT raid, or if my benefits are cut) then it's high time to look for the emergency exits and escape the burning building.

I'm still open for other causes to chase or reasons to live, but ten months later, I'm still mad enough for tea πŸ°πŸŽ©πŸ«–β˜•πŸŽ€, managing with a post-COVID-19-lockdown psych-sector. That is, overrun with patients and burned out. I can't tell if my treatment providers are just too busy or they don't care. Maybe they can't afford to care.

In the meantime I'm watching the institutions of my society, a nation and community I believed in, get smashed to rubble or worse, subverted by a kleptocracy that steals for profit and uses force to hunt political enemies and bogey-men

It's not a great time to be trying to unfuck my head, and not a bad time to be a raving lunatic. πŸΊπŸŒ•

To be fair, I knew he was a bastard in 2003 when evidence of the CIA extrajudicial detention and ~~torture~~ enhanced interrogation program was published and came to a head. Staunch Republicans were party-signaling by announcing that torture of terrorists was right and proper, and waterboarding wasn't really torture. My dad made such assertions, and went on to say all CIA captives were organized terrorists and guilty of violence (entirely untrue, but we wouldn't know that for a couple of years). At the time I didn't know about the Scharff interrogation techniques that informed US methods since WWII (Named after Luftwaffe Master Interrogator Hanns Scharff). We haven't yet seen the full U.S. Senate report on CIA torture, incidentally, and I'm still sore about it.

My father really does deserve a corpse of a son, and I'm still striving to choose other than giving him one.

I'm too old (and gentle, actually) to become Hugo Stiglitz once the civil war comes, but if my fury, resentment and disappointment were given material form, it'd look something like that.
