@dibi58 @martinvermeer @xannziee @Sustainable2050 I say this as an American: many of us still love our NATO friends and hate everything that’s happening.

With that said, I think the sooner you proceed on the assumption that the US is an adversary, the better off everyone, including the people in the US, will be. Work systematically to remove any US dependencies in your security.

@dibi58 @martinvermeer @xannziee @Sustainable2050 the French foreign minister said it best: Europe can no longer put the security of Europe in the hands of 50,000 Michigan voters every 4 years.

@mattl "Screen Time"? I'm surprised there's not one more level in the menu dive labeled "Beware Of Leopard".

@stephanetremblay @CatHerder @Remittancegirl @nullagent if those Black kids had rifles and waved BLM banners my money is on the cops chasing them off and/or arresting them. Most police organizations seem to be more interested in protecting rights that uphold white supremacy versus challenging it

@killyourfm Now we gotta to the rest of this with Danny Elfman!

@dansup not sure how advocating using the force of government to force striking workers to go back to work because it's bad for you personally isn't an anti-union position but you do you.

@stevegis_ssg @mekkaokereke my wife makes this amazing three layer pecan pie with cream cheese and brownies as the other two layers. She makes the pastry from scratch and everything. The USDA recommended serving size is one slice per year. It’s insanely decadent. This year it’s for the solstice holiday. I can’t wait!

@AnarchoNinaWrites The line from Neil Young's "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" runs through my head whenever I think about this:

"We got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand."

@GregNilsen @kims @mekkaokereke Super flawed system for hockey as an individual statistic anyway. Connor Bedard had the fourth worst +/- in NHL last season but I don't think you'd find a hockey team fan alive that wouldn't want him on their team!

@inthehands when I despair and get into a “fuck everything” mode is when I’m most vulnerable to bad ideas. I’ve learned to look past the surface feeling when I get that way and see what’s really driving that despair.

BTW this was not a magical transformation that I decided to do one day. This was the result of years of therapy and practice.

@AnarchoNinaWrites people are so desperate for leadership because they can't think for themselves anymore. They need their gurus to tell them what to do. I cannot overturn the global capitalist order myself. Your best shot at least helping is finding a small part of the job you might be good at and just fucking do it. If you've got a couple like-minded friends you've known a good while, maybe work with them. keep it offline if possible.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I wouldn't dream of inviting you to any secure messaging platform of any kind, no matter how much I think you're great and I'm right there agreeing with you. A) You're literally thousands of miles away from me B) resistance needs to be local, cellular, and mostly autonomous, and C) I don't know you personally.

To anyone else who might be in some Signal chat with more than about 6 people, or ANY you don't personally know. Get the fuck out NOW. You're already being watched.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @focusedontheberry I think it could be filibustered but that would require the Democrats to discover their spines and we can see how that’s going.

@rysiek I just want to thank you for this whole thread if for no other reason you surfaced a bunch of accounts I could safely block!

@LinuxAndYarn @whknott @mekkaokereke Heaven forfend anyone have to live or even deal with someone with even a little bit extra melanin in their epidermis. 🙄

I don't know why this is hitting me harder than usual. It's yet another example of how ubiquitous racism is. Fucker's been dead for a hundred years and we still have to live with his bullshit.

@whknott @mekkaokereke Holy shit! Is that why? I live in Arizona, so I'm not too familiar with the area, but I was driving through there 10 years ago with a freakin' RV and it's impossible to get around anywhere there in one of those.

I should've known. Motherfuckers. I knew a LOT of transit and highways are the way they are because racism, but I still learn more.

@thepoliticalcat @sjvn maybe I'm just a little self-loathing, but I kind of liked VMS.

@mekkaokereke I'm convinced at this point that "rugged individualism = liberty" as sold no better than in the United States is a deliberate strategy to keep people isolated so they can't unite or work together. Sad to say that I fell for it myself for far too long. I'm trying to learn better!

@ApostateEnglishman @AnarchoNinaWrites and Homer wasn’t exactly subtle about that being a curse.

@smach @mekkaokereke We have three school board seats up in my town and five people running for it. There's three of them that are one each a Rep, Ind, and Dem that are what I call the "Sane Squad" who still believe in public schools. The other two are MAGA whackadoodles. I hope the three win. Incidentally the only Republican I voted for, but only technically, since they're ostensibly non-partisan positions.
