Can’t even get some people to stop using Twitter when using it supports literal Nazis.
And all they have to do is just… Not go to the site.
And perfectly viable and in fact superior alternatives available for free.
Pretty sure this screenshot is older than Nazitter.
Seriously. That and Tesla.I live in a progressive city and the number of teslas makes me angry. Some of them have the apology stickers but most don’t.
The cars are one thing, but that horrible excuse for a truck gets all the aggression and hatred I can muster on the roads that won’t lead me to prison. Those things only started to be sold once the Republican’s favorite South African went full mask off. No excuse for owning one of those.
In LA the amount of them is so incredibly cringe inducing. They never, ever stop looking like shit, no matter what crappy wraps or vanity plates with reddit tier puns they put on it.
You can fix that with a mask, a bat, a change of clothes, preplanned routes that you never repeat, and not currently having any other hobbies.
This is a bad idea for the same reason the death sentence is
What, bashing out some headlights?
… what did you think I was implying, breaking into Tesla owners homes and beating them to death?
The death penalty is a bad idea, because you cannot be certain that someone is guilty. There have been cases with sufficient doubt, where people have been executed.
You cannot be certain that the owner of a car deserves to have it vandalized.
Does the Tesla have a ‘I got this before I realized Elon was crazy!’ sticker?
If yes, not guilty.
If no, guilty.
That you compare property damage to an actual human life… is disgusting.
I guess you’ve just ascribed a personality to your Tesla.
I saw one the other day that had a plate with “BLMLESS”. That either says “blameless” which, no, or it means “Black Lives Matter -less”.
I judge every single person that drives swastacars in 2026. Cybercucks get the finger.
Fuck fascists.
Also “Defender”.
Range Rover gets a disapproving look, and Toyota as well. (The CEO of Toyota is a MAGAhat).
To be fair the average car on the road in America is ten years old (which means several are much older.) I don’t think people who own a 2016 Tesla are complicit, and I can’t tell a 2016 Tesla from a newer one.
Now, if it’s a god damn CYBERTRUCK, fuck yeah I think they’re a fascist. There is no excuse for owning a Cybertruck.
I’ve seen waaaay too many cyber trucks in my city.
There’s still slavery in the US, as it is still allowed when incarcerated. No one fights back.
excellent point
That’s one of craziest things about USA for me. They fought a war with million casualties to end slavery and in the end, when politicians sat down to decide what to do after they won someone went “but do we really want end all slavery?”.
And turns out no, they didn’t actually want to end all slavery. Some slavery was ok even with the north.
Slavery never ended. It was deregulated and rebranded away from public eye.
It wasn’t though. Slavery is still literally in the constitution. They just added a condition to it: incarceration.
Aren’t most of us wage slaves?
Kinda, but the US constitution amendment abolishing slavery has a side note saying “except when incarcerated” which caused mass incarceration of black people for bullshit reasons to continue slavery. And to this day there are states where incarcerated people are forced to work without pay or risk punishment when they refuse, in a form which is considered torture by the UN and human rights watch.
So I get it that people feel slaves of society, but I’m talking about actual slavery.
Fair point. Thank you for taking the time to explain
I do think they should have some kind of purpose in life. No one does well just sitting idly in a room. 90% of them will be out on the street again. It’s our choice whether they come out completely broken and vengeful or maybe partially humanized.
A purpose they can choose willingly, yes. Not forced labour so that government and/or private prisons can squeeze some revenue out of them.
In the US? It’s not about prisoner rehabilitation and never has been.
Incarcerated workers are under the complete control of their employers, and they have been stripped of even the most minimal protections against labor exploitation and abuse.
Nationally, incarcerated workers produce more than $2 billion per year in goods and more than $9 billion per year in services for the maintenance of the prisons. https://www.aclu.org/news/human-rights/captive-labor-exploitation-of-incarcerated-workers
I agree that prisoners should be kept active, given opportunities to develop skills, and that setting them up for continued employment after incarceration is a good idea too, but there are better ways than what we’re doing right now.
If they all were criminals who were convicted with a fair trial, yeah maybe, if they have a choice to work or not. But they still should get some compensation for their work. Just keep them outside of society. But many are not criminals. Many are forced into it, by life. Or wrongfully convicted.
Next to that, I believe re-education and reintegration in society should be centered during incarceration, instead of punishment. Look at Norway, 15% of inmates return back into prison while in the US it’s 85%.
But the judiciary system in the US is fucked up and corrupt. It’s racist and the whole jury system works on charms and not on facts. When charisma needs to be a part of the skillset of your lawyer and punishments for colored people are more harsh, there’s something seriously fucked up. And I’m not even talking about the chance of getting arrested when you’re colored. Because that’s also extremily fucked up.
Yep its ableist and privileged to argue against slavery when some people rely on their slaves to support their family. /s
If you want to abolish slavery you’re a liberal. Real leftists use their slaves to fight capitalism. /s
HOLY SHIT THIS ANALOGY IS PERFECT
A man made this very argument regarding “the war of Northern Aggression.” He said to the black man in the crowd he was arguing with “my family was poor and had to work for everything they had. Do you know how much people cost back then?!” Everyone was like :-0
I’ve unironically heard that argument from people I know. Texas is a garbage state >:(
This is exactly what we’ve been conditioned to be. We can’t even bother to do the most basic of tasks to put up an actual fight against the constant upward growth of the billionaire class, but we think we’re so strong that nobody would mess with us. We think that showing up to a protest with a sign is fighting back because we think we’re intimidating enough to scare people into following our orders, but really we’re a tiny dog yapping at an intruder who doesn’t even care enough to shut it up.
We were raised specifically to have so much confidence in ourselves that we continue thinking that we would fight back - and win handily - if we ever needed to, while ignoring all the little things we could be doing, since there’s no point in doing them if we’ll win the fight when it comes to that, but also ignoring the fact that the fight should’ve started years ago.
Violence is the only tool that works, we used to take managers out of their houses and beat them to get our point across. We need a return to that form, where if we have grievances with the company or the manager we don’t go to HR, we organize.
The organizers still have to go to HR in the end. Union contracts need to be continually renegotiated and they can’t actually make the employer do anything.
No, you force the top to negotiate, you don’t negotiate with underlings. You tell the boss to his face this is what we need.
“The boss” stares back at you with a blank expression and has no idea WTF you’re talking about. Moreover, they don’t care. Unless you have money or a sale for them, you can just keep on walking.
CEOs couldn’t manage to fill out a comment card anyway, never mind negotiate a union contract without a CFO and HR there to actually know what’s going on.If I had a nickel for every time people tried to go up the chain thinking they’re clever only have to get kicked back down it again (after waiting longer, by the way) to people who actually know what they’re talking about, I could probably stop working and stop having to deal with them.
I’ll be real with you, if the top doesn’t know nor care about their workers, they’re exactly the type we should be exercising from management.
Edit: Also don’t to me blabbing about how busy they are. We’ve already seen past that veil, they’re usually busy raping kids, figuring out ways to screw workers and/or customers, and just being part of the mad men’s club. Apathy of your workers is a sure sign of a shit boss who doesn’t care.
The employer will reconsider that attitude if the union decides to leverage their power and announce a work stoppage until demands are met. People tend to listen when the entire company freezes in its tracks and annual revenue is suddenly on the line.
I couldn’t believe how many people bought that Harry Potter game that came out like 2 years ago. Not only was the game shitty looking ubishlock, but also we’ve known for years just how f***ed up jk rowling is as a person.
Having said that, as I child I remember protesting against the school trying to encourage me to buy Harry Potter at the school book faire. I get now that they were only trying to encourage me to read by suggesting a popular book, but I really didn’t like the cult-like obsession around this book even as a kid, so I’ve had bad vibes around the book series since the very-late 90s lol.
I got a copy for free, but also, it was actually a pretty fun game, gameplay wise. The absurd schizm between being a student with rules while also being a game character who can transform people into exploding barrels and throw them at their friends was also incredibly wild.
And the number people you get to murder while blaming the bad guy for it.
Yeah, meanwhile you can get your friend put in jail for just one murder.
It would have been cool quest line if you started hearing rumors about a serial killer in the forest and all your investigating just took you in circles, until you decide to focus on the big-bad guy assuming the killing will stop with him.
At the end of the story, once you’re in “post-story” free play mode, you learn the killings have picked up and become more brutal, sending you in more circles trying to track your self down.
That would have been pretty funny.
I also liked how, near the end, your mentor says something about using your anchient magic for good. And you can tell him you want to be evil.
Something like that (its been a bit).
What’d you think of all the antisemitic references to goblins being Jews?
Besides the obvious ones like the dates of various goblin rebellions lining up with attempted genocides and ethnic cleansings of Jews during the medieval period in Europe, there were some real deep cuts in there like the “goblin war horn” that looked like a Jewish ritual horn that was described as “being used for war and to annoy wizards” and stuffed full with one of the like 3 non-kosher cheeses in the world. Gorgonzola, IIRC.
The devs really did their research. At least, they did before the lead dev stepped down when it was discovered that they ran a white supremacist YouTube channel. But, as they said when they announced their resignation, they really felt like they were among like-minded people on the team, so, good for them.
Honestly, I don’t pay attention to Jews or Jewish culture enough to notice or care.
Half this shit is bootleg LotR or Norse mythology in these sorts of things. Whats one more group tomdraw from.
I have never understand why everyone seems so obsessed with Jews (good or bad), but then I don’t give a shit about religious doctorine either.
Meh, my wife got it for so little money that it wouldn’t give more than maybe 2p to Rowling. It looked to be a reasonably enjoyable game, and she played a genderqueer character since that was doable.
yeah but despite the devs being allies some of the money still goes to JKR who has made it very clear that she will use it to support anti-trans lobbying. not that the 2p would do a lot, just as a comment to the genderqueer thing
I agree, and she also said she would never have paid full price for it. Back in the day she was a big Harry Potter fan, but now it’s tailed off a lot because of the horribleness of Rowling … which is a plus for me, I didn’t have to sit through any of the Amazing Beasts stuff
Oh , she only donated 2p to a transphobic hate group? What a wonderful person
For someone who was a big Potter fan to have spent only 5€ on anything related to the franchise from the moment the first transphobic tweet dropped?
I think no that shows a level of restraint most people lack, TBH
Mate, i used to be a massive kenshin fan. You’re pussies.
Someone from a story in 1898 was a transphobe? I’m shocked
The author turned out to be a mega grade pedo
Ah ok, I’d never heard of it before your comment so I only read the first line of the wikipedia entry
You’re still allowed to like it, you know
That 2p is gonna do so much damage dontcha know
saying this as an aussie is hilarious. we could play that game all day
The main character energy required to think you’d end slavery but can’t even skip a video game is wild.
so many people live in an insanely priveledged, comfort and convience addicted, emotionally stunted, personalized bubble, and have no idea how much stronger and capable they are, how little they settle for and little they expect, and how awful and impactful being this way is, and there are endless forms of mental gymnastics and logistifying each one of them will do to dilute themselves from understanding this shit and taking any reasponsability for being passive beneficiaries to empire and the violence and suffering that it requires to operate. it is so frustrating and i am fed up and dont care who i offend, i have seen and experienced too much of the horror, your feelings are not more important than peoples lives.
Now I’m curious what the original said. Cracker Barrel? Papa John’s?
The chicken sandwich place
I stopped boycotting it when every gay person I knew kept going there /shrug
Maybe we’re all bad but that was enough for me
You what is sad… they only fought slavery because they needed more consumers for the forming industry, it was corporate interests of the north. It wasn’t a selfless movement.

Hanged.
Hung… Might mean something else.
I’ll allow it. You don’t know he wasn’t.
Who the hell are you? The hung jury?
deleted by creator
Now I have no knowledge of American history but are you really claiming they had an excess of farming capacity and decided the best answer was to grow their customer base by slashing their free labour??
I think he meant the industry that was forming in the north, not farming industry.
A motivation as old as time. Money. Period. It’s always money. That said, blaming the north for slavery… eh…
Corporate interests were fighting slavery… because they needed more customers? WAT?
I mean they said “don’t quote me”
