I love this logic because capitalism has made it its job to kill any competition prove the alternatives nonviable. Chile was trying something truly revolutionary, a fully democratic based socialism, and the CIA aborted the attempt and installed a capitalism friendly dictatorship.
You won’t catch me simping for Authoritarians or anything, but when the only other mode of operation is a military strong enough to resist the CIA, there’s going to be a bias towards Authoritarian based alternatives. Convenient, if you’re trying to paint the alternatives as nonviable.
On 28 April 2022, Just Stop Oil supporters blocked the entrances to Clacket Lane Services on the M25 by sitting in the road with Just Stop Oil banners. They also decommissioned the petrol pumps by breaking the display glass and covering it with spray paint. This action was taken in support of their demand for the UK government...
… no, but you left foot clutch, and the brake pedal in an automatic is the width of both pedals in a manual. Forget, floor the “clutch” to shift, and that’s that. Just hope you forget when you first start going rather than when getting up to speed on a highway.
But won’t you think of Kevin from Nowhere, Idaho and his very real fear that droving gangs of bloodthirsty, drug-fuelled migrants will vote in his local elections? THINK OF THE KEVINS! /s
Project 2025 (and its auxiliary Trump’s “Agenda 47”) are a plan by right-wing extremists and other authoritarians to end America’s multiracial democracy and to replace it with a White Christian nationalist plutocracy....
No, but yes. Democrats fund extremist Republicans in order to “secure” their seats. The amount of times this has blown up in their faces means that they are, at the minimum, culpable for the extremism festering on the right. Their party isn’t as bad, but it does answer to the same interests (big business) that the Republicans get their matching orders from.

We needed to be able to protect ourselves when we were individual tribes. That meant we needed to be able to hurt people if push came to shove. So, we can turn off the empathy when we’ve determined that someone is our enemy. And modern leaders abuse the shit out of that response for their own benefit. Because they want things and other people are in the way.
This… this is the ninja thing again. Was Japan famous for its ninjas because they were the best in the world, or did every other country have ninja and Japan was just so shit at it that we associate them with Japan?
Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with you here. Lots of people are really comfortable being excessive shits online, especially when they have some sort of grievance. PizzaCake is like a fucking lodestone for disdain, so this has definitely happened. Worse has definitely happened.
Assuming, of course, that we’re both on the same page that this comic is an illustration of an online conversation and not, like, meant to be taken literally.
Hooray! I’m so glad, as a human, that were so comfortable with failure since it’s something we all do. And we know that we can admit when we fault and we can then do the work of righting the wrong instead of continuing going forever because we can’t be seen to have made a mistake. /s (fucking devastatingly so)
