In the MAGAsphere anything other than trumps delusions is fake news.

Shocker

Any black person disabled person or woman promotes diversity by the fact that they are diverse. This is the start or removing any diverse person from employment in a position of prestige or power.

Here, ‘just stop oil’ has been throwing beans at famous artworks for publicity. The art works are all behind glass so aren’t harmed. They then put it on social media. They also climb tall stuff and put up banners.

How about sponsoring people who have the time to go protest, hiring buses and setting up camps like occupy did? People who can’t go can chip in to fund it.

This kind of justification isn’t the end, but if a group are able to destroy the country then ideology is kind of moot… To be pragmatic this is like 4D chess and the end result has to be a working democracy. I used to say ‘oh just let it burn down, its shit anyway’ but this means peoples lives lost and spiralling chaos which can’t really be predicted. I’d guess the chance of anything better emerging is very slim.

The best result now is that enough people realise what’s happening and know that they MUST be politically active, must make a popular movement for peace, justice, truth, decency… All of the old values which seem out of fashion. There are more people who believe in those things but where tf are they? They’re saying ‘politics are gross’ I don’t want to be around that.

Ummm… THOSE people ought to be the ones doing politics! They ought to be the politicians.

I personally think we have to find a way to eliminate psychopaths, sociopaths, narcassists and other cluster B’s from any kind of role of power. Not just government but also business.

That’s interesting, I’d never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren’t able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.

Instagram isn’t for sex is it?

I get that you’re disheartened but pick yourself up.

Do you know that the vast majority of people lived in absolute poverty, working every working hour for not enough money to eat?

That’s really wage slaving, when you’re too poor to have a home or even to rent a bed and you sleep stood up against a rope to stop you falling on the floor.

Or you can’t make it and you go into a workhouse, separated from your kids and made to work for no money and given gruel to eat.

The way people got out of that hell was to organise, to fight, to keep fighting. That’s how workers won ALL the rights which are normal in the west - minimum wage, no child labour, maternity pay… Every single decent law was fought for.

So don’t tell me we or you have it hard right now, just because things are harder than you’re used to and we’re all scared.

We’ve had it easier all our lives and most of us didn’t want to go out of our comfort zone to fight to make life better. Our chickens are coming home to roost now.

Let’s try to lift each other up instead of demoralising each other.

They could be organising huge nationwide protests or storming the capitol like he did. They could be telling the truth like AOC and Bernie

Aphantasia?

I think there’s more than one kind of imagination. It’s like the opposite of ‘thinking outside the box’.

Theirs is more like ‘wow this box is big! I’m gonna get inside a smaller one’.

Is this why the dems are standing aside?

Authoritarian tactics is extremely vague. I wonder if they could name one of those tactics? Could they point out one dictator in history and criticise them? Explain why they’re different? Doubtful.

Tell us your friend is a white man without telling us

Most people have an astounding lack of imagination. Its like they thing that things can’t get much worse because that would be too different to now…

It’s true, it was programmed into us by our creator Hans Asperger.

I’m really struggling with the idea that humanity doesn’t deserve to survive. Its just mind blowing how stupid and disgusting people can be.

A lot of people don’t vote as a protest. Most stupid shit I ever heard and I instantly lose respect for anyone that doesn’t at least go spoil their ballot.

The reason for this happening now is that Russia is on the verge of collapse and Putin has turned the screws on trump. If things don’t go his way the pee tape will leak

Americans are struggling because of a lack of socialism, basically. They can’t do this and keep the hyper individualistic and selfish society they have now. Anyone reading this, look up libertarian socialism. Socialism can co-exist with capitalism and does so successfully in many countries. Make it happen in your state and who knows, you too could have the safety net needed to assert your democratic rights in a crisis.
