hi im a left wing nutjob who wants justice and equality. im interested in things like equal acces to education, healthcare, nutrition, water, shelter, public transportation... you know a democracy where the govt is run by the people and for the people. actually everything should be run by the people, for the people.


You would definitely be a step up from the current set.

I've seen the people and I don't want them in charge of anything.


good example. people confused about what freedom of speech means to fascists


freedom of worship means tie one particular version of protestantism into the government

pursue opportunity might be confusing as well that refers to firing all the DEI PoC

it's not "them". it's "us"

also look at who is in charge currently. the people are an upgrade


Think Elon is up to 100 millihitlers yet?


If that's your reality is the new freedom of worship

If that's your reality is the new freedom of worship

I can't tell if you're trying to say that Elon did kill people, or that Elon didn't kill people


If that's your reality!

I don't think i've ever read a book and thought "what concept does this character represent". i've read and reread blood meridian for years. and it wasn't til just today that the thought of the judge as America occured to me. I doubt Cormac intended for the judge to be America. just was thinking they are same in...absolute selfishness0 aversion to ruthless violenceabsolute self

humanity is red in tooth and claw and the whole earth is layered in the residue of butchery

"There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism."


Twitter, the only place where "speech" occurs.


at least nowadays workers and contractors aren't terminated for failing to adhere to The President's strict verbiage guidelines


also law firms, late show hosts, and universities, but those aren't twitter (see above) so w/e

oh?

Yes, not part of my normal X reading. I don't remember where I got it but probably a text from friends.


from a cloud
a drop falls in a bucket
poured into a river
flowing into an ocean
on small world
by a small star

and when that star explodes
it evaporates the ocean
its dust flung out
light years through void
until finally settling into a cloud
which drops a strange taste

onto a world unknown


you are that dust


this might be an embarrassingly stupid question but...

is the Freddy account on twitter fake?

I'm talking about the German tourist here for the world cup. he never showed his face, and got millions of followers posting about how great America is. and started a movement on twitter of europeans visiting America and posting about how great America is.

and then he said the influencer life isn't for him, and deleted his account


Real and still on Instagram.

Germany getting the boot pretty much deflated his sails.
