So our options are becoming:
Toil for 70 years until you’re forced to liquidate everything you have to move into a shitty retirement home or become a burden on any children you may’ve had.
Drop out of society and refuse to cooperate, facing all the consequences that entails.
Complete a single task that promises 3 meals per day, climate controlled shelter, basic healthcare and the adoration of fans across the country?
Seems like they’re making the choice easy for a lot of people.
We all thirsty for something and Luigi delivers.
Gotta squeeze every single cent from every single opportunity, otherwise line might not go up indefinitely.

Cause he’s a wet little lizard who’s afraid the bigger, richer lizards will eat him.
Hm, I actually don’t hate shoveling snow yet but I bet that’d change after a few more times doing it.
I fucking love pancakes, hockey, beer, and poutine, where do I sign up?
I’ve got a couple fractions sitting in a wallet I’ve had for ages that I just don’t plan on selling at this point, maybe if it went to like $1m per coin or something stupid.
I’d written it off ages ago so seeing the price climb is interesting.
I feel personally attacked right now.
What a pointless thought-terminating comment.
Do you have any actual critiques or just lame regurgitated snark to try to win imaginary points?
It goes back even further than that. Pretty much immediately after the New Deal “they” set about to undo it. It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).”
it’s worth remembering that one of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate just how fuckin’ bad these people are and they’re winning.
tl;dr the shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people
This is what cracks me up about the “your rifle won’t fight a tank!” jackasses.
It’s like, have tanks ever worked against a domestic insurgency? Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, I can’t think of any time the U.S. military just wiped the floor and left.
We’ve been able to chat with people inside failed/repressive states forever even though their governments very much want to block it. Blocking communication between people who want to talk is incredibly difficult. They can make it hard but I’m not sure they can stop it completely.
Get to know the people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them.

Establish secure lines of communication and start preparing for what’s coming. The next decade is going to be hard but we’ll probably know how it’s going to shake down by then.

Turns out evil is profitable.
Economics is a social science not a hard science, it’s highly reactive to rumors and speculation. The stock market kind of does just run on vibes.
They want you to owe your soul to the company store, to live hand-to-mouth by their largess.
Fork your own off the existing open source project, then your app uses your fork running on your hardware.
He’s a patriot, what higher truth can you speak to power than the great equalizer, a cheaply produced firearm?
He’s a hero, they’ll make a martyr of him, we’ll make sure his name is remembered and other disaffected, isolated men at the end of their chains can have a new target. Instead of school children it can be someone more appropriate. What good is having power and privilege if you have to look over your shoulder while you’re at the lake? What good is a yearly bonus if you have to pay it all to private security to protect your families lives?
We have far less to lose than they do, I can (hypothetically) only die once but with a little luck I can extract a very high price from a rent-seeking leech before I do.
