I now have a fuller understanding of how much the left hates the American dream. I really wish all of the people that hate America so much would just leave. Honestly there are loads of other countries that probably already have a government system that you claim to love. But, sadly, I know you won't leave, because deep down you know that those systems fail every time and you wouldn't be allowed to get on the internet and spew your hatred without fear of being jailed or killed.

Of course a bunch of stupid fucks are supporting a business being robbed 🫩

World Heritage Post

nothing has ever been accomplished by an "activist" with moral ocd that compels them to speak up about every instance of injustice like its a rosary bead actually

But they damn sure feel like they're saving the world.

And they expect YOU to treat them like the saviours they pretend they are.

every so often i think about the man who went on the news to talk about antisemitism in australia after a synagogue fire bombing, who was then just over a year later murdered throwing bricks at the bondi beach shooter. and i just want to fly into an everlasting eternal rage at. well. everything. all of it.

In high school I knew a girl who went on the local news to talk about how omnipresent swastika graffiti had become in our schools. There had been a shooting at our JCC a few years earlier, and she was facing the same hate at her own school. Her name was Sarah Milgrim. She was shot and killed with her fiancé in Washington DC by a man shouting “Free Palestine” last year. She deserved so much more.

I agree with this for everything except punk because punk starts in the mind and you truly can't be punk and be conservative. You can be punk and not look punk, but there is no way you can be punk and right wing.

If punk is being anti-conformity, and the left is dominant and conformist...

Not in this country it ain't.

For calibration: are you one of those people who thinks being left only applies to communists and socialists, and the mainstream american left is actually centrist or right-wing?

I mean yeah, I very much remember seeing dudes in suits and ties getting gnarly in the pit back in the day and it wasn't some kind of "corporate punk" shit it was literally for the laugh of "there's not a fucking dress code" and it was about defying what you're told to do by everybody including other punks. And seeing dudes in a pressed suit with a silk tie and liberty spikes went hard as fuck. They'd get their jackets torn to shreds and the pants ripped off at the knees, the tie cut and turned into a headband and a hundred sticky patches slapped all over them by the end of the night and they'd be covered in black oil and dirt from the pit fighting in the parking lot, and they'd wear those rags forever. Sew on whatever patches survived the night. That's how battle jackets used to get made, it was whatever you wore that survived, not this Levi Strauss brand vest with patches sewn on from Hot Topic and Spencer's.

Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said "I want my father back, you son of a bitch"

A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless." The Princess Bride's revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you."

Oh. Just letting yall know that AI has a body count. To the point where there's a Wikipedia page on deaths caused by AI, most of which are suicides that AI had straight up *encouraged*, and several that are AI talking to people with paranoid schizophrenia and telling them their loved ones are plotting to kill them or are possessed by demons.

There’s also that whistleblower from Open AI who “killed himself” after he made his dinner, made plans for later, and ransacked his house. But we don’t talk about that.

No, no, no, please DO talk about that actually because this is the first time I've heard about it!

Fucked. Up.
