    The people will still be here. Perhaps a better way of life would change us, but its certainly to late for me to change the dim view I have of my own species. Everything could be 100% fixed overnight and I would still never forgive us all for what is, and what was throughout human history.

    This next beer is in honor of what hope remains in the human race. Good luck.



  • Its almost like First-past-the-post voting artificially limits the number of viable political parties to two and should be replaced immediately.

    At the very least, you would think democracy advocates in the democratic party would be falling over each other to implement such a much needed reform of our voting systems in the blue states they control. Democrats themselves admit non stop that First-past-the-post voting is a huge problem every election when they screech about the small numbers of 3rd party voters. Democrars publicly admit they know the voting system is broken, yet FPTP remains in use in the vast majority of the country.

    How can you be so upset about a recurring problem and then do nothing to resolve it? There is no excuse. The democrats want to hold your vote hostage and they are using the republican party to threaten you to do it. While they may not be exactly the same as the republicans, they are a part of the problem with our country.

    The democratic party must lose its monopoly on resisting the republicans. We should have a free market of ideas competing with each other. We could have multiple chances to defeat the republicans every election We may one day be free to vote how we want.

  • I always find anti bullying measures kind of a waste of time. Adults will bully you way more, it just isn’t a swirly.

    it’s making you fill out an application on a job prospects website even though the info is on the resume.

    It’s every month when we pay rent.

    It’s every paycheck we receive that doesn’t include our surplus labor value.

    It’s a overdraft fee from your bank.

    It’s ComcastXfinity purchasing your local government and ensuring you have no alternatives for an ISP.

    It’s the “unprecedented call volume” you wait through that happens because the customer service phone line is purposely understaffed.

    It’s your health insurance denying your claim.

    It’s everywhere. Just because we hide it behind a curtain of the economic system doesn’t mean it changes the nature of these interactions.

    If you want your kid to be successful, they should be a bully. Bullies are successful as fuck. Every parent should be teaching their child to be the biggest asshole douchebag bully ever.


  • I was referencing nation states in general, not a subsection of the working class. Don’t get me wrong, rightoids are unbearable. I wish I could vacate this planet and leave them to play their shitty reindeer games with each other.

    These institutions (nation states) garner a level of devotion much like religion, regardless of their ideology. Tribalism.

    Nation states path to power is the capability to muster greater standing armies then other more decentralized ways of life. That is why the working class is so heavily divided through these imaginary lines on the globe.
