  • … on the one hand i was making a memetic reference to a batman comic that made the rounds on the internet a little while back,

    on the other hand, in order to troll properly it has to be something that actually gets under the skin of the intended audience and gets them REAL good and outraged, and abusing their religiosity is a deliciously tantalizing vector for ruining the day of a theocratic fuckwit. Just the filthiest bastardized blasphemy possible. They might even escalate to physical violence, as many religious zealots are wont, at which point putting them down with lethal force becomes entirely justified, since at that point they’re already murderously feral.

    so it has merit. But I can’t even imagine how i’d stomach wading into such an environment even just to document the fallout.





  • I was gonna pick 7 but holy shit I can sit next to SATAN? HELL YEAH #3 ALL THE WAY Maybe I can talk him into taking this whole plane straight to hell. I’ll end up going with it but my eternal suffering is worth sparing the earth the misery of these absolute scum. I might feel bad about Hulk Hogan though. Yeah he’s deranged and chose the wrong side, but I feel more like he’s lost and confused rather than as overtly malignant as the rest of these dipshits.

    edit: ok yeah if the hulkster burns too that’s actually good for the world.


  • you are not incorrect in your assertions, being that in a better world it wouldn’t matter. But we live in a stage of history where ignorance and disenfranchisement are tools of manipulation to keep a population docile, its citizens isolated from one another and helpless.

    Everyone needs to learn that politics is not actually optional: it will affect your life no matter where you go as long as there are other people - because even if oneself is not political, those other people ARE. Your boss, your landlord, your banker, your pharmacist, your doctor, your neighbors, your friends and family. Politics Knows Where You Live.

    People have power, but all too often they have been duped into not realizing it and lulled into an ineffectual stupor. That cannot be permitted to go on. And if a pop starlet can wake people up and make them pay attention to what’s being done to them instead of idly wasting their while on passive compliance to systems that are slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) killing them, then, well, fuck it I’ll take any advantage I can get.

    Removing the other by choking it to death via atrophy of no longer being able to win is how you get the remaining party to split along conservative/progressive lines. The resulting progressive faction will be more willing to do ranked choice. If we allow the Republican party to continue to exist - or worse, win - it will remove democracy as a whole and then you’ll get the opposite of ranked choice.

    It’s not about supporting the lesser of two evils. Period.

    It’s about punishing the greatest evil through every means available until it FUCKING DIES.





  • what.

    No, WAT.

    … I … they …

    there’s … how the

    Am I fucking dreaming?

    Did I fucking DIE on the morning of July 21st 2024 and ALL of this has been nothing but a manic hallucination as all my neurons fire off for one last time?

    what i mean is, i honestly thought the boomers were beyond help???

    I could have SWORN they stopped giving a shit about anything but enriching themselves and fucking over their kids and grandkids and great grandkids just for the sake of their own sick amusement an entire decade ago.

    I am legitimately astonished that there’s a scrap of decency left in them to even COMPREHEND supporting anything but absolutely the worst of all available wrong decisions.

    there’s actually some part of me that wonders if kamala actually winning the support of THEM could actually be some kind of red flag… O_o; I’m not going to entertain that part or cultivate it, i’m going to starve it into atrophy now that i’ve expressed and confronted the thought, but still, this is such a shock that it was actually there.




  • Indeed the only thing the Democrat party learned on 2016 was that “Trump won so that is a winning strategy and I would do better if I were more like that”.

    Because NEWS FLASH, PEOPLE: Political Parties are not rational actors! They are FERAL. They CONSUME people, but the parties themselves are fundamentally not human. They do not have empathy, they do not have a conscience, and they BARELY even have object permanence!

    People need to realize that as long as we’re stuck in a First Past The Post model, what voting constitutes is NOT “supporting the lesser of two evils” but RATHER “punishing the greater of two evils”.

    The party that LOSES defines “what not to do”.

    Honestly for FUCKS sake the Republican party should have fucking DIED decades ago. The only reason Richard fucking Nixon won and got to deploy his cancerous Southern Strategy was because Wallace distracted the voters who SHOULD have been focused on KILLING THE GOP.

    We were almost free of the fascist anti-civil-rights pro-slavery SCUM.

    And you know what wouldn’ve happened? The Democrat party would have SPLIT. Because in First Past the Post there are always TWO viable parties. The split, as it always is, would have been along the pro-tradition/anti-authority line, and we would’ve had a centrist party and a progressive party instead of the centrist party and fucking dictator cult we have today. God fucking DAMMIT.
