They Live Part Deux
Roddy Piper and Keith David have kicked ass and died heroically while alerting the entire world that aliens have produced Mass Propaganda mind control convincing everyone to conform to a Late Stage Capitalism hellscape! In service to evil uncaring overlords!
The whole world has seen the evil unmasked, surrounding them, goading them, making everything worse, prodding people to commit atrocities and be uncaring and conservative. And then the sequel- it's been like two weeks, everyone knows that the rich people are uncaring evil aliens, but pretty much everyone just keeps going to work, and the greediest most ambitious people are A-Okay being in bed and working hand in hand with demonic alien entities with Nefarious Agendas. There isn't much action in the sequel, it's a slice of life story where everyone realizes they are boiling frogs incapable of doing much to cause change.
These are my shower thoughts when considering if I want to partake in the 50501 protest on the 19th.
The thing is - this helped a bunch of useless decrepit parasites and hurt everyone else. Royalty really just is like that. Tyrants and dictators really are like that. Hurt people indiscriminately. Claim somehow his actions benefit gullible people through demagoguery and propaganda. If you like a cruel dictator because you believe that his cruelty and irrational greed will benefit you, doesn't that seem to presuppose either a) you are going to be able to be in that room full of a small handful of deal makers in the white house, or b) the person who you admire because of their absolute lack of empathy or concern for others is somehow going to show concern for you personally and people just like you?
That's beyond really fucking dumb. You may be a Republican but you aren't going to feed from the trough of the corrupt Republican machine. You are grist for their appetite. Your families and communities are grist for their lust for conquest and power and absolute control. Corruption only helps a small handful of assholes. Just because you may be infected with delusions doesn't mean anything good will come from them. This is pure destructive Mad King Bullshit.
No corruption to see here folks please don't pay attention to the giant red flag. I really fucking hate it here.
One of the most important things going forwards, no matter what, is that we remember what was done, and hold people accountable. We shouldn't let the stupid things this new administration does be something which we don't keep records about. We need to make sure we keep track of each bit of bullshit, so that when they try to flush it all down the drain to hide their tracks, we've got the receipts to push into their faces.
Maybe we can't give them any repercussions in the end, but we can sure as hell ensure the way they're remembered for all the shit they cause.
I completely agree! Even if there’s little to be hopeful about, we can make sure that we’re resisting and not sitting by passively.
Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.
“The GOP are Experts at Avoiding Responsibility”
I find it a really fascinating thought process when you ask someone in the Trump Cult whether we should invade Greenland or Canada first.
Rhetorically offer them the chance to drink all the koolaid.
A weird war of aggression proposed from a ketamine inspired blueprint produced by unfuckable and unhinged libertarian billionaires. Like there are so many bad idea flavored kool aid drinks laid out and if you skip ahead when they've been training their doublethink energies to defend calling national parks and park staffers somehow being the fraudulent corrupt Deep State, overcoming the cognitive dissonance of so much bullshit. So skip past the smaller goofy shenanigans, skip the widespread destruction of social security, medicaid, FDIC, FAA, Dept of education, post office. Tariffs. Grandparents and disabled people starving. Insisting on companies firing minorities because of white supremacy and trying to change equal opportunity laws via Royal Decree.
Drown the cultists in the cult koolaid.
American soldiers dying to conquer Greenland and then Canada? Or Canada first and then Greenland? The King has spoken, and he's the messianic chosen one because racism is just so cool and the Republican party literally has no Other Ideas. We failed to accomplish anything in particular against an Iraq insurgency for more than a decade, and now we have Hegseth "Whiskeyleaks" in charge. Canadian insurgency can't be that bad. Greenland is part of NATO. Ask your Trump supporter coworkers if they want to have their kids be paid to invade Toronto.
