Recently added n° 3 to the list as well. Gotta say, anxiety and despair hit different when possible homelessness enters the mix.

I don’t know whether to fear or admire people who manage to thrive under these circumstances.

People should always ask themselves the question: “why would a billionaire, who has access to pretty much everything in the world in unlimited quantities, want to bother leading a country?”

The answer is always the same, and it’s never “Because they want to give back to the society that made them billionaires in the first place”.

They’ve gone so far over every red line that it literally doesn’t matter anymore at this point. They’re literally destroying an entire population - genocide - in full view of the world. What is some maltreatment of an activist in the face of all that? If indiscriminately bombing preschools and blowing up children with drones doesn’t manage to do it, what will?

These billionaires own the media outright. And people are fucking retarded at the best of times, and these aren’t the best of times.

I always default to “I’ll continue to do the best I can under the circumstances”, the circumstances being total organizational chaos and zero support. It’s one step short of “You fuckfaces wouldn’t piss on me if I was on fire, but I like working here marginally more than being homeless so I’ll put up with it”.

Could we maybe go one or two election cycles without fascists? God.

Are there really people who think they have aim like Stormtroopers and missed 60000 times?

That’s the face of a man who knows at some point in his future, a judge or lawyer will have to read “Penis man” out loud on the docket.

If the vote fails, it’s up to the viewers to boycott the whole thing.

Don’t buy Amazon products. Fairly simple concept.

Dead, no, stagnant, yes.

You’re right, it’s my own failure for not thriving in a capitalistic hellhole.

Something I am painfully aware of every single day, don’t you worry. It’s not like anyone around me will let me forget it.

That’s all great advice… if you actually get the time and physical room for it. Which many people don’t. It’s just rise and grind, rinse & repeat, any pause meaning homelessness or worse.

Dollar and Euro are going the same way eventually. Dollar first obviously, but Euro will follow.

I’m assuming they mean de facto, not de jure.

In reality YT can do whatever the hell they want. You aren’t going to win from their entire team of ivy leage lawyers unless you’re independently wealthy yourself.

People using 3rd party clients or even adblockers are a tiny percentage of their total users. Which is why it was fairly surprising they went to such lengths for just that tiny bit of viewership. But for monopolists, having 99% is just not enough, they NEED that last percent somehow.

I would be alarmed, if there was still anything worth watching on TV.

1/2. I calls em like I sees em.

It sounds like a crock of shit for weasels who can’t look reality in the eye.
