My family Christmas is completely canceled because my idiot cousin didn't vaccinate her heathen kids
It made my day, and I’m not afraid to admit it. This is a boring town.
A very merry :joker-dancing: to you
I bought sleds for my kids. This sux.
:deeper-sadness:
I'm supposed to go on a backpacking trip with my buddy where we haul all our stuff out into the woods on sleds.
:sadness-abysmal:
They fucking love sledding. I got them good sleds. They're supposed to be from Santa.
Thanks, comrade. Seeing winter disappear really hurts my feelings. Most of climate change is academic for me, but this is visceral.
I feel like I'm going fucking crazy because working retail Christmas just becomes the most dystopian shit imagineable. Everyone is fighting and honking at each other in the parking lot, everyone is in a rush, the lines are long, everything is out of stock...
How do people even enjoy this? It's miserable and stressful. No one I've seen today looks chipper. Everyone seems anxious and miserable. Maybe half of the people I saw today are going to go home and have a fight about some old emotional wound that was ripped open by the fact that the market was out of sour cream.
I keep thinking of what Breht said: you're propagandized to think you are the freest person to ever exist but everything in your life tells you the opposite. Do other people feel that same alienation we feel? Is there something inherently wrong with our biology that led us to these miserable ass conclusions? How do other people not fucking see this? Does it just scare them? Are they too dumb to imagine things could be different? Is everyone too uneducated?
Do Americans even deserve communism at this point?
edit: to add, I've felt like I was fucking insane my entire ass life. Even school seemed crazy to me. You're just expected to live with the society around us, and the majority of people I seem to know would literally die to defend it, even as homelessness explodes. Fuck, I remember the first time I was ever in a big traffic jam I was like "how the fuck does anyone put up with this? Are they stupid? Do they just not get it? You're losing hours of your life EVERYDAY being miserable and frustrated just for the egoic pleasure of having your own space, which IS A MISERABLE ALIENATING PLACE
WTF
Yeah, its crazy. My Grandpa usually buys all the grandkids a ton of things for Christmas, but this time was just chocolate and a card to use to avoid getting ticketed (he's a corrupt ex cop). He wanted to get a ton of other stuff but it was all out of stock.
Currently have covid and it’s too warm to wear a sweater outside when I’m walking the dogs. Yea it’s starting to looking a lot like Christmas :covid-cool:
Honestly everyone has realized the USA is a fucking disaster and is trying to cope with it by coming up with whatever insane theories that avoid criticizing the status quo
everyone seems super on edge because everyone seems to know that "normal" isn't ever coming back
no that's bad because we're psychologically primed for fascism
moment everything goes to shit and the treats stop flowing everyone is going to want a MASSIVE DONG dictator to beat everyone into submission
I have literally seen the argument made (loosely, and multiple times) that black and brown people are too stupid to properly make use of capitalism as a political system, which is why Africa, Latin America, etc. are so underdeveloped due to the completely inability of the people there to "value democracy" or "demand better" or "avoid corruption"
Which is also coincidentally why the USA sucks now. It's filled with Mexicans and black people (who were basically already here, WTF?) who, completely unable to understand the glory of the market, are too busy cheating, stealing, killing, Burning Looting and Murdering to make the escalator of wealth function properly. Basically, they are shitting in the motor of the escalator while the civilized, non violent white people try to get up it with gumption and can do attitudes but gosh golly there is so much shit on this escalator
I've thought about this a lot recently. There can really only be one of two answers as to why the global south is impoverished. Either it's because of colonialism, exploitation, and the neoliberal global order via the IMF, US imperialism, etc (the correct answer). Or, you believe there is something intrinsically wrong with people in the global south. I really think those are the only choices. The second is obviously wrong but it's what the overwhelming majority of white Americans on some level believe.
Folks, what we did in 1917–the Revolution we call it, with a capital R— it’s never been done before. So many big beautiful red flags, you couldn’t even— now that, folks, that’s a flag we stand up for, we don’t kneel for our terrific red flag— and you couldn’t even see the Winter Palace. You know the Mensheviks, and Renegade Kautsky, they said we couldn’t do it! They said, “Oh, Vlad, the material conditions are bad, we have to have a bourgeois republic to develop the forces of production.” You know what that means, right? Semi-feudal economy! Well, look at where we are now, Julius. We are going to develop the forces of production so fast it’ll make your head spin. We are going to do in a generation what it took them many, many years to do.
We’re bringing back bread, folks! And not just bread, but peace too— and you know, the Left-SRs, they’re very nasty to me about Brest-Litovsk, they say I make bad deals with the Germans, even though, nobody does treaties better than me, and the Germans are tough, but when they deal with me they know my reputation, they know I make the best deals, and you know, many people in Germany, they say they want Lenin too! Little pickelhaub man is scared, because he knows that we have built an incredible movement, and we are gonna have world revolution, the biggest revolution anyone has ever had. But, still, you know, the fake bourgeois media, the white guards, they say “He colluded with the Germans, he got on the train, did this did that”— and they’re just crazed. They are really crazed. Right. And we can’t just let that happen, because there’s nothing to do with Germany, nothing at all. Total witch hunt. Very unfair.
Same. It fucking sucks.
It's almost like 0.5 percent of my entire countries population dying over the past year and a half, with no sign of it ending is pretty saddening and sobering.
gonna be in the 60s tomarrow. really fucking weird. don't expect to ever see snow again. and yeah everyone seemed pretty dejected during the xmas eve shopping rush.
Hey now, that's not true. We'll get one snow in January when a polar vortex happens and we'll get to hear about how great it is to finally get some snow, as if we didn't used to get it multiple times a year
I love that Hexbear has more Christmas posts than anywhere else right now lol
yeah, and I don't think it's just "online doomers" or whatever you want to call it. one of my normie coworkers took his kids to some annual christmas event they've gone to before, and unlilke last year, this year the mood was dull and disappointing, with both customers/guests and employees tired and not in a good mood.
That about sums it up for me. I'm home alone getting currently cross faded on live resin and 4loko and going to bed at 9 pm. Anyone I really care about spending the holidays with is in different States. Fuckin holidays man. Just make depression worse
it's christmas already? damn didn't even notice
deck the halls or whatever
