@AnthonyJK This lesser-of-two-evils path started with "less wage stagnation is better than more wage stagnation!" and has moved us all the way to "less genocide is better than more genocide!"

It's a stupid game and the only way to win is not to play.

@mondoweiss That's the true nature of #Israel

@gnutelephony Present levels of carbon activity wont be sustained after this civilization collapses though, there's a natural cutoff where the system kills itself through mass migration, starvation, and destabilizing of states. I think there's going to be simpler human societies still surviving in habitable pockets.

@gnutelephony Thats the way I look at it basically, only I don't think extinction is on the table unless we experience way way more than a few degrees of warming. The civilization causing the warming will collapse long before literally physically turning the planet into Venus.

@ryanc If it helps I try to look at holiday events like a buffet, it's no fun if you don't know how to pace yourself, what to say no to and what you like.

@pica_pica On the contrary, they are perfectly able to stop it, there's three US carrier groups off Palestine right now.

They refused, it wasn't for lack of capability or agency.

#GenocideJoe

@evan The Israelis are killing children in Gaza at a faster rate than the Nazis did at Auschwitz (136 a day vs 128 a day) They're not going to stop at implementing a death march through the desert.

I think Egypt is wise to this though and that's why they've been holding the border closed.

@ryanhoulihan And basically every cartoon

@hannu_ikonen Ok, here it goes.

Cops - Worthless scum, sworn enemies of freedom. We keep us safe, "blue lives" DONT matter #ACAB

Patriarchy - What are you? From the 1950s? Get over yourself.

Abortion - Women are not breeding stock, they're human beings who have a right to control their own reproduction.

Guns - An armed society is a polite society. If the government has it the people should have it. Even Hobbes didn't believe in disarming the population.

1/4

@hannu_ikonen

Trans Rights - Are human rights.

Religion - Isn't there enough nonsense in the world already without creating it to try to control people, excuse bad behavior, and live in a fantasy land cause you're too shallow to make your own meaning?

Climate Change - Is not going away, adapt now, the time for mitigation was 1980.

LGBTQIA+ Rights - I'm bi and prefer guys, I'm also right-handed, so what.

Borders - Don't exist, ignore them.

@jeffowski Why do you say it's about religion?

@aral Hamas's targeting of civilians is a retaliation in kind for what Israel has done for 75 years.

@aral I've got a better idea, how about the Israeli diplomat turns himself in at the Hague.

@BlueWaveSurfer Burn

@TechyDad @selzero Me too (I'm not 48 though, considerably younger, lol) But teenage/early 20s me would certainly have been categorized as alt-right now.

I've done nothing but get more 'liberal' as I've gotten older to where I completely detest liberals now and only support leftists.

Whoever had this idea that people get more conservative as they age was full of it.

Shit on this one too.

@get@glee.li

@oldladyplays We always win in the end, the arc of history bends towards progress.

@nullagent Stupid white supremacist fash has their name in katakana with an anime profile 🤦♂️ The cringe of these people.

What's their handle, I'm going to spend the evening fucking them up.

Found another one.

@Leaflord@leafposter.club

@AnthonyJK Problem with centralized systems in general, but if you try to point this out to certain admins you get a "I'm too smart to talk to you" response. Needless to say that individual was blocked.
