So an expert on brainwashing is saying that Civility and High Road bullshit doesnt work on cultists?
Duh
You know what does work on people in fight or flight mode?
FUCKING FEAR
If the Nazis understand if they keep being nazis we will strip their goddamn citizenship and catapult them over the Bearing Straight to Russia then they might go back in the Nazi closet
Has this dude not seen the #wildebeest he's dating? His #girlfriend looks like a creature from the #DarkCrystal. Given that her big, beefy arms could rip his head off, I guess he doesn't want to get on her bad side. #BrianGlenn is the definition of a "#beta".
In conversation w a friend, she was surprised when I said we won't have electricity after social collapse. She asked "why? What happens to electricity?"
I had to then explain that infrastructure needs people to maintain and if things fall apart, nobody will keep the generators going or the wires in check. She seemed surprised by this.
Is this why people don't seem worried about what's coming? They have no idea???
I was trying to hide my shock that I had to explain this to someone who isn't a child. I think I take too much for granted and assume too much of people's ability to be logical.
Now her obsession with social issues at the expense of #ClimateCrisis makes sense. I was always wondering how someone on the left would not care about collapse. I have tried to explain before that as much as I share her concerns about the many dire issues that do need dealing with, none of it matters if climate change causes collapse. Then we won't have social housing, or equity, or any of the other things she cares about. (she was even part of a group that protested demanding "affordable gas")
Her look of shock finally helped me realize that she has absolutely no idea what #ClimateCollapse means. No idea. I've been arguing with her all these years and she's had no idea.
I don't even know what to say.
There's no way she's the only one. Lots of well intentioned people say "yes climate is important but....".
I am here to tell you that none of those other issues will even exist in the face of climate and social collapse.
I don't know if the average person can even imagine the number of deaths that we are facing when the society we built loses electricity.
@hal_pomeranz@teajaygrey@Wen@bifrosty2k@luis_in_brief@chu I am amazed at the number of responses that totally miss the point of collapse. Typical arrogant #Capitalist tools who will defend the indefensible until there is no humanity left on earth. Yeah, they will refer to the #MAGACult and fail to see that the #Capitalsim they worship is in the same boat.
Fantastic news, everyone. Donald #Trump and some dumbshit meathead named #ColbyCovington are going to save #America from the scourge of #communism! Neither one of them have even the most remote clue what communism is, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that they've heard the word "communism", and they're pretty sure it's awful. Thankfully, we can all rest easy now that they're on the case! #MAGA!
“When I was teaching #lawSchool, I learned and taught certain #constitutional#principles. When #MajorieTaylorGreene was teaching #CrossFit, she learned a whole different set of values, evidently. Because my idea of what this country should be like is based on the #constitution, and she sees the world differently.” ~Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)
Oh, look! #Trump is flipping burgers at the #Iowa#StateFair! See, he's a real person just like you! All his transgressions can be swept under the rug because he played the part of an average Joe for 5 minutes in front of a blindingly white crowd of suckers at the fair! We're saved!
Another #MAGA schmuck who craves #victimhood. I've seen a lot of people who drive around in unnecessarily lifted trucks with flags mounted on them, and without exception they are all #douchebags. Every. Single. One. This one is taking a stand by relegating himself to #homeschooling. How brave of him. I'm sure this intellectual powerhouse will be a scientist in no time!
#MAGAts don't love #America, as #LaraTrump would have you believe. They love #Trump, and a vision of an America that does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist. They positively despise America as it is, and their loathing permeates their every word and action. They are not #patriots, they are #cultists.
#Trump supporters are the #dumbest people on the planet, and they live entirely within a mass #delusion. At any given moment, related to any given topic, you can bet they don't have the slightest idea of what's going on.
