Prelude to the Apocalypse

[BulletMagnet]

I speak about a single issue and you turn it into "support of the administration" instead of debating why the CPI is not a good indicator of economic policy.

Several other people, immediately after your original post, challenged your focus on the CPI, and you dismissed them and their arguments out of hand as demented libtards. Get right the fuck out of here with that shit, especially as you're clearly infinitely more interested in hashing out the dog-killing issue than anything concerning the economy (like, say, the fact that the replacement for the official who dared present numbers Daddy didn't like is a Project 2025 crank who's promised to suspend monthly job reports until they're "fixed").

By the by, please tell me exactly how I was supposed to interpret the absolutely insane parroting of the notion that tariffs are actually not tariffs (which, by the by, aren't doing jack shit for the nation's coffers) except as the sound of your lips slobbering all over this administration's jackboots? Especially when, once again, I outright ask you to clarify your positions on other issues and you indignantly refuse to answer? You pussies truly haven't changed a bit this whole fucking time. For all your lip you still won't actually own up to jack shit.

Calling people who almost got killed by a violent mob pussy ass shows your colors BM.

First things first the "violent mob" was two fifteen-year-olds, one girl and one boy, but seeing as we live in a world where asking an ICE thug to show a warrant or a badge is "assault" I ought to just accept that we've reached Peak Pussy and point and laugh accordingly.

Second, seeing as "mob violence" concerns you so much, I'd absolutely love to see your "colors" when it comes to the January 6th riots (and Daddy's subsequent mass pardons). Though I'm obviously not holding my breath.

In any event, I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm glad the incident happened or even that it should have happened, but since it did happen it might as well have arrived at the doorstep of a big enough shitstain to so much as entertain the idea of joining a straight-up criminal enterprise like DOGE. Though your fellow fash obviously have other ideas.

Back at the ranch, since apparently being transferred to a Club Fed she wasn't even legally supposed to be eligible for considering her crimes wasn't enough, Ghislaine Maxwell is now also on work release. Because this is what "tough on crime" and "protecting the children" looks like.

Oh, and the administration is now asking the Supreme Court to give its official blessing to racial profiling, so that you can now instantly lose every last one of your rights, with no opportunity to argue in your own defense, because some brownshirt decided you looked wrong, talked wrong, or were in the wrong place.

OH, and that OTHER thing which we were all fearmongering about and would never actually happen!

But, y'know, that's just a lot of hysterical whatevs.

I think the saddest thing is that he still thinks we are saying these things to him because of money.

Think about who you're arguing against. The "libs" or whatever "othering" label that you're using right now are not the poor and disenfranchised as a group. They are the college educated and gainfully employed. They are not the ones who are going to be most fucked by everything that's happening right now, as much as you hate them and want that to be the case. The people getting hurt are the people on the fringes. The people on food stamps and the people who are running away from a violent country or the homeless people under the bridge. The whole country used to pitch in a few bucks a year to save the occasional homeless person or feed a guy who lost his job.

But then open your wallet and look inside. Is that so important. We're all going to die anyway man. What do you think makes you so special that you value your greed over a fraction of a meal?

100% the people he hates are the poor and those on the fringes.

You know how the fascists hate crippled and disabled people? It's just how their brains work. They hate being reminded that they are mortal.

The symbol-minded need to exterminate any reminders of such things. To keep the sad thoughts away.

Don't try to humanize fascists and project your own value systems on them. Any mind can have any terminal goals, and there's no reason to want prosperity and happiness for human beings. Many really are just death cultists.

Many a boomer facing the end of their days has the attitude of 'fuck you brats, I'm taking you with me!' Cruelty makes them feel good, it's how they're wired. If you're not a victimizer, you're the victim and who wants to be a victim.

No amount of is-statements can put any traction against an ought-statement. It's why all 'conversations' with fascists aren't conversations at all, because no shared context on anything related to goals or how the world ought to be can be established.

Once again, every jubilee video.

If he's ever going to leave the cult it'll require developing at least some basic sense of self-preservation. It doesn't require a single drop of empathy to not want to die when some poor person coughs on you, just two braincells to rub together. If you like at least yourself, you want universal healthcare. Nobody in their right mind wants to waddle through hordes of sick diseased people.

But once again, that requires acknowledgment that oneself is a mortal human being, and not some immortal impervious god that is immune to disease. And so it goes with every other subject. Narcissists are incapable of having such a lowly opinion of themselves, that they are bound to the same physical limitations that everyone else is.

Here's a dog video to clear away the bad vibes.

Dog haters do not watch, I don't want you directing mean thoughts toward this li'l pupper's conceptual tulpa.

I thought about this recently a lot. I'm pretty convinced that the Boomers are deeply hurt that they didn't get the version of the future that they imagined for themselves.

That's why Bill Maher exists. He's mad because "Comic books are for kids," and he wasn't supposed to like them as an adult. But that's his whole shtick; the kids don't know what this all was supposed to look like.

They're throwing temper tantrums because it doesn't look like the "country they fought for" anymore. But it was never going to. And really, they have no one to blame but themselves. It wasn't "the kids" that screwed this pooch, it was them.

That's the absolute worst kind of tantrum, the one that comes from knowing it's your own damn fault.

Part of the problem is religion; the sort of folk who refuse to even consider leaving the world a better place are often the ones who are looking eagerly towards Heaven as a literal construct they are entitled to. Anything bad that should befall the world due to their own selfishness and wanton disregard for the environment and the state of society after they're gone doesn't matter as it's simply "God's Plan" ™ at work. Who cares how badly the world's screwed up if it's only heathen unbelievers who have to put up with it because God's going to rapture away his chosen flock?

They also love to ignore the fact a lot of them would, according to their own holy books, be more likely to burn in hell for all the hypocritical shit they pull.

There is some cold comfort that the isekai boltzmann brain thing is far more likely how it works than Reagan's Heaven. Being turned into a fish person is way more extreme than being trans, and given an eternity one's brain must inevitably change under the burden of novel inputs.
