Which is why I crossed out Kamala and wrote "Joesef[sic] Biden" on my ballot in a swing state.
Really shook up the gay meta, what were the devs thinking
Dw it's libs malding that their world order is ending. The jewel of imperialism, the US empire, built by slaves on stolen land had to expand and colonize to sustain itself up until now. When there is no more Destiny to Manifest, when there's no more false flags to blame on Spain, when your vassal states turn on you, you're running on fumes.
As the amount of foreign, global south workers to exploit decrease, the empire starts cannibalizing their own population. Wages stagnate and cost of living rises. No concessions to the poor. No upwards mobility. Half the population are buying into a fantasy of a misremembered past sold by an orange steak salesman, the other half are trying to keep the decline to "steady" rather than "freefall" by doing the exact same liberalism over and over.
They'll bitch and moan and point at the flaws of China or South America or anything that doesn't align with their worldview, they'll blame any shortcomings caused by their own ideology to Russian disinformation or entitled Millennials or ungrateful workers or idealistic college students who are simply opposing a genocide.
They truly lost libs are living in a fantasy, the end of history, if they get over the hiccups that are Trump or a couple bad egg billionaires, they can continue in perpetual growth and prosperity like their parents' generation. They're unwilling or unable to look at themselves critically. Why is Germany pivoting hard right? Why France? Why are polls showing the NI and Scotland leaving the UK next chance they get? Why does liberal "democracy" keep spawning right wing nationalists everywhere? We have regular self crit and struggle sessions, and unless interacting directly with Libs, are able to critically support. They don't have introspection, they barely have hindsight.
They're just deluded as the Maga dumbasses who truly think a second Trump term will somehow make their lives better because there's a wall along the US Mexico border and their Hispanic neighbor gets deported and every school teacher has a gun and there's no regulation in a Tesla factory. Its just as delusional to think if another feckless Lib is in the white house, somehow healthcare will get cheaper, climate change will be stopped before the point of no return, landlords will charge less for rent, and the Yankistani government will stop meddling in the middle east.
They will say you'll look back in this period and cringe. But they won't have a place in the future to look back from.
"I went out of my way to collect roadkill with the intention of consuming it, but later decided to illegally dump it instead" is among the tamer sentences that's come out of his mouth.

Hexbear began as refugees from r/chapotraphouse, a leftist subreddit that was purged from Reddit by the admins 4 years ago, well before the API drama of last year.
The subreddit was banned due to supporting violence against """people""" known as slave owners. Posts saying kill slave owners, John Brown did nothing wrong, etc, was the catalyst.
Hexbear was then an un-federated Lemmy instance until last year. Basically, due to not being federated with others and being born from crude dirtbag leftists, culture on Hexbear has splintered from Reddit and Lemmy at large. Mainly, being civil was not a requirement so personal insults and ad hominem is seen as not only perfectly fine, but preferred. Also uniquely being a leftist space that hasn't had a large, community ending schism between the anarchists and Leninists has been a factor.
When Hexbear did become federated, Reddit refugees people didn't like our hardline LGBT inclusive anti NATO Anarcho-Stalinist takes, and used Reddit terms such as "brigading" to describe our behaviour, which is more or less a misunderstanding, we have posts sorted by "Active" by default so what you see first is what someone replied to most recently, and we don't have down votes so if you disagree with someone you reply to them to voice your disagreement instead of down voting and moving on like a coward. (EDIT: This has been the setup since BEFORE FEDERATION. By YEARS. Were we brigading ourselves? Christ. We discovered it promotes discussions and engagement, which is why our instance is the highest activity per capita by an order of magnitude before federation)
So oftentimes when a newly federated instance user posts something like "Vote blue no matter who!", it will show up to us, we can't downvote, we reply with something along the lines of "You're a dipshit", that increases engagement, other people see it, also reply with serious and unserious answers alike.
Oftentimes, Reddit refugee liberals see our scathing hatred of Democrats as pro-Trump because their brains are programmed to only see the existence of 2 parties, despite one of our biggest threads before federation being hundreds of posters hoping Trump dies when he first caught COVID. Or being against the expansion of NATO as being pro Putin. Or support for Palestine as antisemitism. Etc.
So basically, a combination of "crude" language, "brigading" and being "MAGA/Putin/CCP/Iran/shills/bots" makes Hexbear a prime target for hating on.
Give Biden's dog treats every time it bites a secret service agent to encourage the behaviour.
Spider Marx is too cool of a name to be given to someone in the American military.
Well her therapist probably told her the same thing but here's the thing:
The therapist is also Hamas.
God damn you are dense. There would be no fucking housing deposits. There would be no mortgages. You now own the fucking house/apartment you currently live in, not a bank, not a landlord, not an investment group.
Did you think this is what happened in China when the landlord class were purged? The idea of private property is so entrenched in your brain you can't conceive this thought: renters now just live in the house they were renting. The landlords are dead or relinquished the land, who would they be paying rent to? And there's no landlord class, they de facto own the house they're living in. This, but country wide.
Developers don't build houses. Builders do. You don't need capital to put bricks and mortar together. An architect designs a house, and the workers build it. If you take away the concept of land ownership, the developer is a redundant class. Prices won't go up because they were the leeches that kept prices up.
In fact. And I'm sure you may have heard this before. THERE ARE MORE ENPTY HOUSES THAN THERE ARE HOMELESS PEOPLE! THEY'RE KEPT EMPTY ON PURPOSE TO DRIVE UP PRICES. IF THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR ARTIFICIALLY KEEPING PRICES UP DROP DEAD, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPEN TO THE PRICES???

So probably like, the top 5% of tolerable redditors.
His phylactery, that has been buried in the Levant since the 2nd crusade, was destroyed by a stray IDF grenade that was actually meant to hit a 6 year old school girl in the west bank.
It already happened, it was UlyssesT and he killed Kissinger. But he made it look like natural causes so no news for us.
