On a recent episode of Behind the Bastards, the host talked about how abusers were able to infiltrate the left in Germany after the war. They were able to hijack a good movement that was antifascist. They warped it in the worst possible way.
I know a lot of the privacy violating shit in tech is just on accident. But I wonder how much of it is just shitty dudes thinking of new ways to sneak in shit to abuse their partner and kids more effectively.
How the fuck did Democrats make the upside down flag about decorum instead of, you know, the fascist coup these fucking ghouls tried on 1/6 and will continue to try until we force them back? They sure don’t seem to be taking it seriously.
The videos of Israelis destroying food aid meant for Gaza is absolutely enraging. These are the same sadistic fucks that become cops in the US to tear down unhoused people’s tents.
@khalidabuhakmeh revealed in the latest @breakpointshow that his standards for new hires went down the longer he was a manager (to give people a chance).
As someone who he hired later in his tenure, I'm glad that I met him when the world had worn him down enough to hire a train wreck like me.
@BoydStephenSmithJr I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Biden wins in a blowout.
Polling is broken now that scammers have taken over voice calls. Only weird people pick up the phone.
And every election has been good for dems since Dobbs and people fucking hate Trump. So I’m hoping that these political fumbles won’t give us a dictatorship.
@Sobieck Until we get ranked choice or proportional rep or something other than FPtP, you vote for the least bad of the top two, or you throw away your vote.
With my politics, in my state, I often do end up discarding my vote for president because it doesn't matter anyway (it's not remotely close most years), but I hope people feel their votes matter and use the power (as little as it is) strategically.
We are telling them to stop and don’t do this. You attacked a diplomatic mission, retaliation was inevitable and Irans response was relatively muted given it was in the form of easily shot down munitions.
Given that the US and the UK did a lot of the shoot downs of the drones, Israel seems like a chihuahua that barks and barks and gets into fights that its owner has to clean up.
We shouldn’t shield them again if they go on barking.
Ukraine not conscripting anyone younger than 26 seems insane to me. Yeah, it sucks to sacrifice the younger generation to this war, and it is nice to see a state trying to save its younger generation.
But I think most states would not hesitate to conscript all men of age in the event of a massive invasion. And 18 year olds are just in better shape than 40 year olds.
