You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.
Kayfabe is real, people know it is, they engage with it anyway because they want to have fun playing around with stories and narratives and we’ve all learned that we can make our own reality and get some level of social support for it.
Yah you’re right, hundreds of millions of people just aren’t as smart as you, it must be crushing to have so much clarity and insight that your entire species doesn’t share, the righteous loneliness must be palpable.
Fun fact, if you do itemized tax returns, you can make cash donations to your school, fire department or road authority, etc. and get a receipt and then deduct that from your taxes, it’s basically forcing your state to spend your taxes where you want it spent.
Note: it’s been a long ass time since I did itemized returns, your mileage/laws may vary.
It’s fantastic and absolutely bonkers how many of the world’s problems will be solved once Trump finally returns to the Earth. How can one man, with so few working brain-cells, cause so much damage and death and chaos.
Yah you’re right, all these poor, hard-working Landlords who serve the people must be protected at all costs, they do so much for the average renter, we can’t dare touch their clockwork perfect system that SOOOO many people love.
Jesus christ, grow a clue.
New York has some of the highest wealth in the country, but woe and damnation if we suggest that maybe they should consider helping us out with shit like roads and garbage and sewers. Nah, let’s let the people working two jobs pay for all that.
“Why can’t we just continue as normal and keep pushing the problems down the road for someone else to figure out?” - New York’s comfortable masses who are already older than dirt and have no stake in the future, and basically all of America’s financial policy for the last hundred years.
Since there is no such actual thing as “law” when it comes to power and wealth, the best we can do right now is keep the horrors fresh enough for long enough that when hopefully the administration collapses (likely) or that we see the current legislative and judicial branch decide to take action (a snowball’s chance in hell) so no, no arrests will happen until the fascies are out of office. And even then, it will hinge on the political will for a new administration or new set of representatives to take on.
There is a very strong chance it will never go anywhere. There are a lot of Epsteins out there and they’re not going to face justice for the exact reason that nobody has wanted to release Epstein’s files, which is it’s tied to too many people and massively destabilizing to governments. We want that, they don’t.
Even if we get an amazing new administration with progressive, law-abiding values, just touching the Epstein files is going to be political suicide because of the political warfare that will be leveled on anyone who tries to dig into it, so every potential leader is going to have to decide if they want to dedicate their entire time in office to fighting a raging river of opposition and legal threats and physical threats for trying to get rich, powerful people brought to justice.
This is no longer about what you want, we’ll just inject pineapple juice and rum in your other arm and bring you to party down with some vampire hotties.
The short answer is most of life on Earth shares some basic levels of chemistry. That doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit though, just that human bodies are resilient enough to make due with terrible substitutes at times.
I think if people really understood that anything you eat and drink is also going into your bloodstream we might all be a lot more careful about what we consume.
And bras for womenfolk stranded on the island.
An unusual reaction to the prospect of having your life saved, but far easier to arrange than other solutions I guess.
So yes: anyone living there by choice today is a fucking moron.
Simple minds always see simple solutions for enormously complicated problems. Thus, how we got in this situation in America, people believing massive issues have simple causes and solutions. Great to see it’s fully contagious and/or baked into the human condition no matter where you go.
Okay then, you don’t actually care. I’m done with the convo and will never see another message from you.
You’re not listening, this isn’t a political issue, it’s logistics.
Right now, in South Korea, if they don’t open borders then every woman will have to have five children and each of their children will need to have five children to keep the nation functioning.
This is a trend-line that many countries are following because of capitalist influence crushing family and community, it’s just that South Korea is ahead of the pack. If you don’t care and want rapid decline, then good, embrace it and thump your chest that you want millions and millions of people to die as logistics networks collapse over the next several decades. If it was slower we could adapt, but it’s happening too fast for supply chains to adapt to, the supply chains that get you your medicine and toys and food and medicine for developing nations.
If this is acceptable to you, then fine. Wear it proud and say you’re against humanity broadly, there are plenty of people who think our world would be better off without us at all. You’re not allowed to complain about other social issues like withdrawing vaccine research and so on, and it makes me wonder what you’re even trying to do by interacting with anyone online or why you care if someone is “blowing dog whistles” it’s all contradictory.
I am citing an issue with xenophobic capitalism, and you won’t even get past your own breathless reactionary impulses to consider that this is an issue that will become a bigger and bigger issue, unless you think the current crisis in South Korea and Japan are conspiracy theories.
Okay so you’re too emotional to read or understand things that you would otherwise agree with, can’t backtrack on reactions, right?
Ah, so that’s what it is. You saw someone bad screaming about problems with population demographics and have been programmed to scream and rage whenever you see someone actually talking about a real issue, that’s a real good way to become stupid.
This has nothing to do with ethnicity, this is logistics, countries that are simultaneously not opening borders for immigration AND not doing more to support family growth are going to experience economic collapse, which will have catastrophic effects on distribution networks.
You still with me?
Rapid population collapse hurts more people than the harmful effects of overpopulation, and modern trends are showing a global decline in birth rates, with some nations like South Korea are going to be completely insolvable within a couple generations and cities will be abandoned.
SK is the worst case, but this is widescale and largely a product of capitalist influence and authoritarianism making people not want to have relationships and family, along with the toxic social effects of the internet.
You want me to shove data up my ass too?

Don’t let fuckers like Elon Musk hijack issues that actually matter and have control over how you feel about what you see. Why would you give someone like that so much power over how you feel?
You can’t say you hate what happened with USAID and ignore the effects on logistics from industrial nations becoming unable to produce. This is about capitalism crushing our hope for a future and making people not want to have lives and futures.
I go the other direction and have just assumed now that everyone has a crippling undiagnosed mental health problem.
Equality for all.
It’s really easy to move if you get a running start and really give it some muscle. If you have room in your cartoonishly large suitcase, you can bring your family, your home, your car, your career and your extended family and whatever support systems you have! Also, governments all over the world love when you just drop in unannounced, they set up trampolines and big piles of comfy pillows for you to jump onto safely and everything.
