THEY. ARE. DABBING. ON. US.

The Democrats have the political instincts of that giant bird species from New Zealand who had never seen predators before and was hunted to extinction by the Maori hundreds of years ago.

This is NOT A.I. generated by the way, link to the tweet I got this from:

Yo can we stop pretending the Dems are dumb? They would literally prefer Trump over sanders, let alone someone who would actually run this country decently well

They aren’t flailing around, limbless birds. They aren’t the sheep that will be culled. Their donors are the fucking same, it just wasn’t their turn. Their instincts are perfect for the task they’ve been given

There is a regenerative farm to table restaurant near me. The owner used to work in the Obama admin first term. He left and started a farm, and I quote, not because the government worked poorly, but because it worked perfectly

they have very incorrectly estimated that they're not on the chopping block. they think they're in the same boat as their donors, but they'll be thrown out as sacrifices

I genuinely don’t know if they will. Like yes the rhetoric is aimed at them and the man on the plastic chair is completely senile and probably does want them removed, but the actual people behind the wig have an incentive to keep them around. A two party system locks out proper representation and is a beautiful pressure valve that’s conveniently soaked in tradition. A one party system in America will fester a tremendous amount of anger and much more potential instability. It is a safer play to try to keep the charade going and they’re probably just letting him pretend the controllers plugged in for now since he doesn’t have much time left. I think he’s run a bit away with the plot, but I do think they’ll reign them in and regardless of who is leader, they’ll use the tools established to maintain surveillance and disappear undesirables who want workers to be paid at least half of what they’re worth

The Democrats are the carrot and the Republicans are the stick. You need both for the duopoly to function as a form of domestic counterinsurgency. The Democrats played their role brilliantly in the George Floyd uprising. If it was just Republicans, people then would've long since taken up arms (I saw someone shot at a bunch of police cars driving by with a pistol on day 3 at woke.net. Now imagine if people really thought Trump was going to take over as a fascist.). But Democrats as the carrots completely dampened any revolutionary tempo the masses had and brought confusion among people. This was when you started seeing protest police popping up and how "fuck the police" got watered down to "abolish the police," which was further watered down to "defund the police" until it got to the point where police funding increased under Biden.

It pains me how right you are

[-] Euergetes@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

this was the answer to this question for the past 20 years. the hour is late. the "smart" people behind the curtain are the ones going all in on eliminating the need for popular consent whatsoever through omnipotent surveillance, automation of labor, and genocide

Who isn't laughing at Jeffries?

Every time I see Trump’s face I’m even more confident he had a stroke

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

hearing clips of him lately and he's struggling like biden to get through a whole sentence, it's real bad

The moa? Megafauna are cool and I want to believe they exist in some subterranean cave network ready to emerge post nuclear apocalypse. The kakapo is another bird species in NZ that is blameless.

The Moa? Now they are No Moa. Lmao gottem.

Seems the rule for "is it A.I.?" is just the negation of "do I wish this was A.I.?"

I do appreciate the special desk they brought in solely to have Abe Lincoln look on in despondency

Some of the youths are starting to use "that's AI" to just mean lying. Isn't language beautiful?

The kids are alright.

This is Haast's eagle erasure and I will not stand for it. Those fuckers were so big they could hunt Moa, that's cool as shit

[-] Bronstein_Tardigrade@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 week ago

I do the same thing any time Jeffries or Schumer shows up on my screen. Laughing keeps me from cursing, cussing, and a stream of blasphemes.
