Humans, Reporters, and medical care in a hundred years?

Funny comic!

Sure!

So how about this climate change huh? Ecological collapse in just a couple of decades from what I hear. And really no one with significant power anywhere doing anything but speeding it up.

Discuss.

I literally see voters saying the Democrats were too left leaning, jfc.

With parties like this, painful collapse is the only way to avoid multigenerational destitution.

There is no saving the United States as a framework. It is far too compromised, with too many methods installed to keep the people willfully ignorant and infighting as the owners suck their life forces dry for profit.

We can limp along and pretend that isn’t the case, but climate change, aka the reality that doesn’t give a shit about our self-delusion and greed worship, will force that collapse sooner rather than later. Reality can’t be bribed, deluded, disappeared, or discredited.

Enjoy living in delusion that a society can function in capitalist competition against itself, the ability to do so is coming to an end.

Given that the people won’t accept the necessary complex solutions to complex problems due to the intential destruction of our publoc education system both to keep them ignorant and controllable and to not pay for them, and want simple answers that don’t exist without deception, all there is is subsistence until collapse, and start over after all that pain without the artificial restrictions held up by both parties to keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor poor.

This place is nothing but a slavery trap, keeping people ignorant by design and dependent on the scraps of the capitalists. I hope climate change forces the collapse and this slavery trap doesn’t limp along for more generations born to suffer needlessly for the masters.

If there’s another legitimate election, you want to double down on neoliberalism and trying to meet fascist in the middle yet again?

If we can’t elect a revolutionary, then it’s all over anyway until collapse, Trump is a symptom of the crony capitalist greed disease that’s infected both parties. It’s a shame we can’t even agree that our economy’s structure and incentives are the problem and requires drastic change, because without addressing that, nothing can begin to improve. It is the bloodsucking vampire elephant in the room.

It’s not their fault.

We’ve been cutting rich people’s taxes by destroying public education for decades.

I’m actually surprised thousands of my fellow Americans don’t drown staring upward whenever it rains.

We chose die alone aka “I’m a temporarily embarrassed, ruggedly individual millionaire” over live together aka “we live in a society.”

That has consequences we are now feeling at a new level. The Nordic nations understand this and are the happiest peoples on Earth because they get taxed massively and understand it benefits the society they live in without resentment. Their teams are their nations, their societies, not their economic class or political party.

That’s an absolutely foreign and highly contemptable position to most Americans. After all, If everyone gets their basic needs met, how can I have mooooaaaaar than everyone and shove it in their sad poorie faces while they die in the gutter? And what good is wealth without that, amirite?

A nation as wealthy as ours need not have any economic losers dying in the streets and not being fed in school. We insist upon it, because America runs on schaudenfreude.

You want to know how fucked in the head our culture is? Compare the Freedom To Roam laws much of Europe enjoys to our POS country’s castle doctrines. They value the real freedom being part of a society provides, whereas we just want an excuse to shoot each other in the face.

Thank you! Do it!

George Carlin called it decades ago.

The politicians are a reflection of us.

Our PEOPLE suck.

A fat, greedy, proudly ignorant, proudly racist, spray tanned elitist bully drunk on schaudenfreude is the perfect American mascot.

He’s like the United States took human form. A monument to all our sins.

If you still consider the rugged individualism we crow about a feature and not severe mental illness, you are infected with the disease. If you want winners and losers, go live in the forest and see if you live or die.

Societies need to work together, and we have been trained in the spirt of capitalist competition🤮 to compete against eachother, to tear eachother down, to root against one another hoping to get moooaaaar for ourselves. This is the very opposite of a society.

No they won’t.

When the policies Republicans vote for eat their face, and there are innumerable examples, it’s always “Why would the Demonrats do this?!”

Even the smartest of their idiotic, ignorant asses go a half step further by acknowledging that a Republican policy, or revocation of any policy thereof(deregulation), hurt them, but only because the filthy libruls tricked them into doing it by holding the opposite position on said policy, clearly making it their fault because duuuuuuuuuhhhhh.

And the defining characteristic of any conservative is to take joy/schaudenfreude in others being hurt, so no, they’ll never look at the people, the children, they’ve condemned and do anything but laugh, even when it’s other conservatives, as they eat themselves when they lack an “other” to fight. It only stops being funny when it happens to them or their immediate, nuclear family.

American conservatives wouldn’t understand personal responsibility, especially the ones that crow about others not taking it, if it was literally rage fucking their assholes without lube.

And it absolutely will be once Trump’s policies are in effect.

But somehow it will still be Obama’s fault because the poor, ignorant fools consider critical thinking to be a librul plot like climate change and gravity.

We’ll still have “elections”

You know, like in Russia.

To be fair, it does pair nicely with our millions of Evangelical “Christians” that treat every day like Bible opposite day.

🇺🇸 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🇺🇸

The reality is that neoliberals in power, and even many poor deluded neoliberal voters, would rather have Republicans in charge than people interested in addressing the intentional and by design inequity of our economy, despite all the social issues that very inequity causes and exacerbates they then falsely claim to care about, including abortion, which is often correctly an economic decision.

I voted blue out of harm reduction as I always have, without hope, just to minimize what little cruelty I have the power to potentially minimize, but they did this to themselves, as we never get a vote on our economic system or the cruelty it propagates, because (D) and ® are on the take, and I’ve yet to meet an affluent person of either party take issue with the economic system they benefit from despite our legions of homeless and barely subsisting people without the means to bribe officials on their behalf, and their very existence is proof of this economy’s failure as a lowly tool to better equitibly distribute goods and services in service to a society that an economy is meant to be.

Our economy, and by that I mean our oligarch class that sits above the society they have no stake in, instead orders our society around through the legislators they own solely to maximize their private profit against all other concerns, and it’s beyond perverse. We’ve just been propagandized our entire lives to consider it to be the natural state of things by self-serving for profit media and captured state government’s capitalist indoctrinating curriculum.

I have voted blue in every election since Obama McCain, despite not liking a single one of the General election candidates, and I phone banked and primaried for Bernie twice.

I don’t blame those who sat out. The only reason I don’t is to maximize harm reduction so I can look myself in the mirror. I blame those that voted for Trump for Trump.

We have a center right party and a fascist party, both hypercapitalist. You can scream at democratic socialists like me and other leftists, but in my entire lifetime, we have never had a party platform to enthusiastically vote for, only against the worst of 2 terrible options that embrace economic inequity and are well bribed to do so.

And singling them out as the worst offenders for doing nothing on election day while people voted FOR the fascist has just ensured keeping those that decided to disengage stay disengaged, because the neoliberals that run the Democrat party seem to hate leftists even more than Republicans, and say the same thing every cycle to them.

Because at least Republicans believe in our herp derp “free” market capitalist economy, amirite? I wish that commonality our supposed leftwing party has had with Republicans for ages, but especially since Reagan, would tell you something…

Because a society shouldn’t be comfortable with an economy that by design leaves so many of its people “losing” so hard they’re dying of exposure on our streets, let alone BOTH of our only 2 political parties that matter. But we aren’t a society, just a bunch of rugged individuals at each other’s throats fighting for the owner’s ever dwindling scraps.

I mean yeah, but I was referring more to the literal sterilization of supposed undesirables, which we did both prior to and even for some time after WW2 in some of the asylums/prisons of the time.

If it makes anyone feel better, this country was always garbage.

We transitioned from slavery to Jim crow to undocumented immigrants as our intentional underclass to abuse for private profiteers we’ve always had.

We use our military to destabilize entire nations to further the economic interests of our profiteers.

Hell, we fucking loved and practiced eugenics prior to world war 2, and only entered the war after the war came to us and blew up our pacific fleet. That’s just fighting back.

Literally a nation built on a giant genocide graveyard.

I could write pages.

I’ll keep voting for least worst so I can look myself in the mirror as always, but the sad truth is, Garbage person Trump represents the United States Perfectly. He is a monument to all our sins, especially glorifying greed.

Everyone is going to die.

You can sit in the corner of a padded room and live off protein supplements to maximize your chances of staving off the inevitable by a few extra years, usually the worst ones anyway according to most that get there always volunteering “don’t get old” safely existing, or you can live.

No wrong answers, it’s a personal choice. Just know you’re almost certainly filled with life shortening microplastics regardless of your decision.

Won’t stop Trump from declaring victory at noon, and have his shoving some hack, crayon transition plan at any doting media outlets that will take them, because if he can get even the most ridiculous challenge to the SCOTUS, that’s the ball game. They’ve grown far bolder at flexing their power for the wealth class than even 2000.

The question will be how much the media indulges his clear, intentional deception as the “candidate claims victory, stay tuned for further details.”

"The sword of God, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine, millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question. ‘You believe in God?’

‘No.’

BANG Dead.

‘You believe in God?’

‘Yes.’

‘You believe in my God?’

‘No.’

BANG Dead.

‘My God has a bigger dick than your God!’"
