  • Wow they stopped maybe 5 whole people from competing in games that were supposed to be about bringing the world together that’s turned into just another shouting match between petty assholes taking the entire concept to hell.

    Sports are games, fun little doofy things primarily for children that adults can like too. The shouting matches about doping, the doping itself, “no fair no fair they’re cheating,” and the massive paychecks for professional level sports are why I don’t give any of the bullshit the time of day and never will.

    Leave it to humans to remove from a concept the entire reason for that concept’s creation in the first place: fun.

    Fuck competition for competition’s sake. Cooperation should have been our species business. The minute both teams/players aren’t smiling and laughing after the game, the game has lost all meaning and has become a shitty game that shouldn’t exist. That goes for you NFL, NBA, and yes, even the Olympics.

    Come back when it’s about the world coming together again and not geopolitical medal count competition screeching.



  • There’s a small class of people who civilization has put in absolute power based on how effectively greedy and sociopathic they are. Did you expect such people to be ethical and moral and decent with their exploited hoards as they sit above those that would regulate, judge, and police them? Then greed, sociopathy, and willingness to exploit their brothers and sisters to death for an extra nickel shouldn’t have been made the metrics for societal power that they have. It’s wealthy people who think rules and laws are for their little peasant capital batteries.

    The wealthy elite have always been largely pedophilic. Didn’t start and certainly didn’t stop with Epstein as just one of their facilitators.

    Don’t like it? At least be against and vote against capitalism and rampant economic inequity. Otherwise 78 choices of cereal are more important to you than children not being raped by rich people just because they can.

    They’re bored, have infinite resources, and by the nature of their insatiable greed and sociopathic treatment of those they exploit feel the need to test their limits and taste that which most consider forbidden. That makes it more desirable to them, not less.

    Society should check, temper, and commit such people for everyone’s safety, instead they own the government, and freely fuck kids and teens when they aren’t being literally infused with their young blood to try to live longer. Enjoy their “free market.” Hey, at least we aren’t socialists amirite?

    Honestly the Epstein stuff is a distraction too. The wealthy elites are largely pedophiles, always have been. Trump is among the most gluttonous, but that doesn’t make him unique among them. Don’t like it? Be against capitalist excess and for equity. Until then… we’re building concentration camps.




  • Policy wise, this has always been my hill to die on. Giving the homeless money directly is my exclusive form of charity. Because I don’t want some capitalist on some bragging rights philanthropy board getting part of my donation as part of their six figure board salary. They’ve done enough.

    A large homeless population is a symbol of a failed society’s crimes against itself.

    If a society doesn’t exist to take care of its people from the worst off upward at all times, it is without a benevolent point and it’s existence is without worth.

    The homeless in the US are the US’s greatest domestic victims, left to die horribly of exposure and police capital defense force brutality for the crime of failing to become model exploitation vessels for our robber Barron’s insatiable greed disease.

    Most of them should have conditionless basic housing, the worst off should be inpatient mental health wards of our society, as they are us whether we hate them or not. But we aren’t willing to pay for that. Even though mass homelessness is not inevitable with good policy and funding.

    Worse still, many non wealthy Americans hate them for lowering their… 🤮… Property values. This all goes back go us being a society in name only. We’re more a bunch of exploited, deluded peasants at each other’s throats for robber Baron scraps as they use their media and their captured government for blaming their greatest victims, those people under your local freeways and tent cities, for their avarice fueled malice.

    Communism may starve human nature, but capitalism indulges and gluts humanity’s worst, most vile impulses exclusively. It breeds sociopathy as a desirable choice.

    And considering the depths our homeless have been brought to by the society that betrayed them, I genuinely do not care if they spend it on food or shelter or alcohol or drugs or whatever will give them even a moment of solace/escape/peace from what we have done to them.


  • If I was a non Israeli Jew, I would be PISSED at Israel for that exact reason.

    I won’t say the same of Israelis, because looking at the percentages who are pro leave no Palestinians alive, they seem too much like a blood lusted cult to care about the opinions of.

    And yes I know the Palestinians feel the same way, but the party with the bigger stick matters and always shoulders the burden of wielding that stick responsibly, and Israel has no interest in that.








  • The DNC and the top of the party would MUCH rather lose to the Fascists across the aisle they have a corpo bribe sharing agreement with than win with a candidate that campaigns on bringing accountability to those wealthy bribers.

    Or to put it another way, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would lock arms with Republicans and treat President AOC, for example, the way most Democrat voters wish they were treating Trump. Scorched earth, not a single meeting, not a single appointment, just bill after bill trying to strip all Presidential power until a hypercapitalist sits in the chair again.

    Neoliberals are much closer to Republicans than they are to anything resembling a leftwing, politically. The only thing that separates them is not actively pointing and laughing at you when they hurt you to line their pockets, they just shrug, call it market forces, and hand you an affirmation ribbon you can neither eat nor live inside.

    Which is why this nation is beyond repair and we need to force collapse and start over, with a constitution barring capital markets and any profit sharing that isn’t tied to working/laboring for what’s being profited from. Speculative investment is cancer that breeds sociopathy, division, and death ☠️. No neoliberal or fascist is against the for profit deathcare confidence scheme we call American healthcare for all but the wealthy. They’re both paid to defend it from us.

    Should be every 2 years past age 60 if you want to keep your license.

    Sorry, for every 20 year old doing 90, there’s ten seniors wobbling between 2 lanes in a giant SUV intentionally purchased to protect them from the accidents their diminished capacity will cause, about to do a double lane change in the opposite direction of their blinker that’s been on since they left their driveway.

    Ive always found it bonkers that young drivers with the sharpest reflexes are punished to the maximum from insurance to rental car rates, as they should, while no one dares punitive action against people who literally lack the faculties to drive safely if they wanted to and incur the wrath of AARP and the like. But those necrotic seniors make the rules, sadly. They can cause accidents with abandon, but some thing’s gotta be done about those young maniacs on the road driving 10 over the speed Limit as you drive 30 under it with white, arthritic knuckles on the steering wheel for dear life, calling your impromptu roadblock “safe.”
