From 2024 but still relevant

There’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. There’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. My rent went up $150. I’ll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn’t charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themselves a punk rock revolutionary, but they’re not wearing a face mask, and that’s the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning the primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. The CDC just announced there’s no more speed limits on highways, and I think this Ativan is finally hitting. The NYPD farmer’s market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen, it’s warm today, too warm for March. But I don’t have time to think through the implications because there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop.

wounds like the country will brake down once the people do, this is the aim of the rich but do they realize this will likely affect them too i wonder.

Living in a Eastern comprador society:

This, but tenfold. Either I will defect to China or kms.

The USA bombs Iran 12 hours after Iran agrees to irreversibly dismantle its nuclear weapons program under full international supervision. Iran retaliates against US allies in the region hosting US military bases (since their weapons can't reach the US themselves). And the leader of my country then condemns Iran for its "despotic" attacks, while pledging support for the US and emphasizing the importance of international law.

We're living in a clown world, and the west aren't the good guys.

Let's not forget that our leaders are WORSE than mere pedophiles. They are literally cooking & chewing up & eating & drinking some of those children after raping them. And even worse weird things. I felt it necessary to point that out right now because some old rabbit holes I've been down have been haunting me again lately.

[-] Leg@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Can you provide a source for the cannibalism? All I ever saw was speculation about a handful of possible code words, but never a smoking gun.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I've already been down that rabbit hole. You're just gonna have to go down it yourself if you want to know the answer to your question. It's traumatizing. Everything I've said so far was me venting what I remembered from the trauma this gave me when I learned about it.

[-] SpankyDoodle@eviltoast.org 7 points 4 days ago

My gf has been needing to calm me down because I am NOT OKAY with that bullshit. It’s fucking demonic and sickening and they belong in the pits of hell feeling every bit of unimaginable pain possible for the lives they’ve ruined and destroyed. Fuck these people so god damn hard.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I feel you. Reminds me circa 2019 I was telling my (ex-) bf about these things and he just listened to me with a blank stare and said nothing. Of course not much was ever really in his brain anyway but those 6 years with him were eye-opening for me because

(heads up: this is not just a rant about my ex-boyfriend, it ties back into the baby-eaters topic)

that's when I learned about people who have undeveloped prefrontal cortexes in their brain and I'm certain that's what his glitch was. Sociopathic, no compassion, everything they do is for their own selfish gratification and they feel no remorse for manipulating & hurting others. They don't do it on purpose, their brains are just missing the empathy parts. They're also incapable of feeling embarrassment, shame, remorse, self- reflection, seeking self-improvement, because that part of their brain is missing, which comes across as extreme confidence & arrogance & they're intimidating & powerful. (President Trump has this heinous birth defect too, undeveloped pre-frontal correx.)

It's terrifying because those are the types of people who end up in positions of authority because business structure & capitalism exploit everything a human can produce, exploiting us with no empathy. Businesses & capitalism are run by sociopaths & psychopaths because to them, money is more important than people. As long as the people on top end up with all the money. That's how the brains of people with undeveloped prefrontal cortexes are wired.

And these same types of people are the ones ritualistically abusing murdering & consuming children. My (ex-)bf probably hopefully never knew about such things before, at least he never alluded anything about it to me, but I'm certain if he had the opportunity he would join such groups. Because psychopathy/sociopathy, interest in religion & people but not the healthy aspects of religion & people, the power & structure & rituals & fellowship of religion. And the bonding opportunities & exploitability of humans. Devoid of feelings & compassion. Seeking only power & personal satisfaction & gain everywhere they go, in everything they do, from everyone they encounter.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

its why many of us are 100% ok with some of these people getting blammed, good people don't do evil things,

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

fr though, and I keep saying this, but we can literally end this shit show now if we all just fucking picked a day to not go to work for one lousy day when we know congress and dumbass are at DC and we just strike/protest en masse outside until they surrender. They have long abandoned doing anything meaningful for the people. Like if we can get all of DC to just stop for a day, bam.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 days ago

That's precisely why organized labour has been systematically dismantled in the US. Back in the day there were strong unions, mutual support groups, and so on. These systems are key for workers to be able to take collective action like general strikes.

Having just 3.5% of the population protest nonviolently would be enough. Speaking of which, the next No Kings is on March 28th!

[-] Obnomus@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Thank god I'm not from USA. Phew.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 10 points 4 days ago

Sounds like human music to me.

Look at the assumed powerlessness inserted here.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's not bullshit. It's the skyrocketing rent, and the ever-increasing price of groceries, and the medical bills, and ICE murdering and kidnapping people in the street... It's all very real, very shitty things.

And this government we're dealing with has the largest military budget in the world, a larger budget than the next NINE COUNTRIES on the list.

[-] hexabs@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

*nine countries COMBINED

Food and water being poisoned is a questionable stance. Maybe in the US especially in the 20th century where there was a "put it in food first, if it has bad side-effects, outlaw it later" attitude. Especially heavily processed sugar is one of the worst offenders to health but the outrage about it is too little, and that's probably not what you meant anyways.

Mmm, human music, I like it.

[-] greenbit@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Not a single soul is exempt from this on the planet. Probably some remoye island tribes are detached enough not to mind it.

Until the gospel of peace is brought to them by force, and most of them die from disease.
