but he’s always such a whiney bitch about it.

Who wouldn’t want to eat souls, impregnate 13 year old virgins, and demand the foreskins of your enemies. Sounds like a cush gig.

I’d be Mr Body, from the board game “Clue”. The greatest benefit of being Mr Body is that he’s dead before the game even starts.

Yes, because america falling into fascism would be a bad thing for literally everyone. If you think the USA is bad now, you haven’t seen anything yet.

I’ve used one called “manything” (Monitor anything). It turns your obsolete cellphones and tablets into a network of web accessible security cameras.

A little over a decade ago I worked for a company that designed and fabricated stonework for buildings. Not just anyone can clad their house in marble, so I wound up interacting with some very wealthy people. I can’t say who, because they’re still just as wealthy and powerful and I’m about to shit all over them. I came away from the experience with much less respect for them afterwards. They essentially have no interaction with ordinary people at all. They don’t do anything for themselves, and they don’t engage with the real world. It’s no wonder they lack empathy and only act in their own self-interest. The real world is an abstract concept to them, I doubt they think about any of us as being real people.

I was raised dirt poor, like food insecure and periodically unhoused poor. The guy I interacted with was literally a billionaire and had always been a billionaire. His staff treats him like a noble lord, and they buffer him from nearly any circumstance that would lead to him experiencing reality. One perk of being a white guy with good diction and vocabulary is that you can hide your low-class upbringing. Put me in some decent clothes and they’ll assume I’m from a similar background and speak more openly. The conversations were disturbing. The things they said about poor people, my people, were horrible. They think about us like animals if they think about us at all. I had to sit there and smile the whole time.

Even before he became a political figure, he could have had the entire LAPD at his house within moments of the first sign of trouble. It’s not like the french revolution. They have a modern army that is well trained to deal with large groups. They’ve had lots of practice. We can’t just roll up on him with a guillotine in the back of our truck and expect to actually prevail.

My experience at that job radicalized me somewhat and drove from me any lingering desire I might once have had to obtain wealth. I do not want to live in that world. I want to unmake that world.

people are rarely able to harm the person that harmed them, because the power imbalance is what facilitated the harm to begin with. The axe forgets, the tree remembers. Getting through the multiple layers that insulate the upper class from consequences is an uphill battle and it’s fought on many fronts. most of these fronts you’ll never see because the upper class prefers it that way. It’s a long war with many individual engagements. but this is always the goal.

Poetic really. A meme is born.

“youtuber” and “still uses twitter exclusively” hmmmmmmmmmm. lol.

We’ll if that’s the case I wish they’d have sent me a notification. I collect bans from hate subs. Sucks not having receipts. I mean, I blocked the community, obviously, but I don’t think that would stop mod notifications. I wonder if it was because my opinion was unpopular.

Yes it’s totally defeatist to talk about things in the past that happened and acknowledge things that are presently happening. I didn’t say no one would beat them, I said that they will never relinquish power. Two very different concepts.

Hmmm. you make some mighty fine points there son. Looks like you were following me all over the place. I’m always happy to meet a fan. it wasn’t a ban though, which was a shame. They just took down the post. A ban from a community like that would look great on my mantelpiece. Feel free to keep following me around if you like.

Lol. I readily accept that america is broken. but cops are the same everywhere. I believe you had some riots about that a while back. The only difference is armaments. An authoritarian is an authoritarian. there were over three hundred police caused deaths in england and wales between 2021 and 2022, not too shabby for such a tiny place. on top of that there were over 1500 cases of police abuse in london just last year, that’s mostly beatings, rapes, and other forms of sexual assault. no matter how you want to splice the numbers the odds of a person experiencing violence or death are higher when a police officer is present. So any situation where you willfully involve law enforcement makes violence more likely. So don’t call them unless you want someone to be hurt or killed. That’s just basic safety.

some day you’ll understand the difference between fear and anger. today is not that day.

Lol. couldn’t get it all out in one go? I’ll give you a few more minutes to gather your thoughts, in case you think of something else witty you’d like to edit in. Try not to call your brute squad on a barking dog while you’re thinking.

every cop in every country is two things: 1. a thug who is willing to commit violent acts. 2. a dangerous authoritarian.

And you’re the guy that calls dangerous thugs to your neighbors house because you don’t like his tunes. I’m sitting pretty in comparison. even if the made up bullshit you said were true. Don’t call cops to peoples homes asshole. You’re just causing trouble, and your lucky no one has died.

Because we were never able to make a dent in boomer tyranny. they just disregarded us, and continue to disregard us, they couldn’t even name our generation so they just filed us under “X”. they never stepped aside to let us run anything. They won’t step aside for you either. they’ll never, in a million years, relinquish power. they’ll die first. literally. meanwhile younger generations lump us in with them, when we’ve been fighting boomers longer than anyone. I admire Millenials for their ability to seriously piss off boomers. I wish we’d been able to piss them off half as much as you guys do. but they ignore us completely unless we submit, stroke off capitalism, and bring it to a screaming orgasm.
