Almost 20 years after the invasion of Iraq and we're right back where we were then, but worse because now fucking NATO has decided they'd rather get into a nuclear pissing match with Putin than take one fucking L. Meanwhile stateside it's suddenly back in vogue to attack LGB and especially T rights, liberals and chuds have put aside their differences to play in the war drum circle together, the anti-anti-imperialist "left" is taking its victory laps online, the pandemic that still is killing and will continue to kill thousands every day is suddenly yesterday's news, and all we have to show for two decades of protests and agitation and organizing is a handful of better contracts for chuddy trade unions and a couple unionized Starbucks.

TL;DR: All hail the cockroaches who will inherit the fallout-choked Earth, I've no doubt they'll do a better job running the place than we did.

      Even my close left-ish friends would probably execute me when the time comes.

      my realization of this came with my understanding that I was trans and needed to transition so I've had a bit more time to get used to this idea, so hopefully this helps - when people know you personally, they tend not to believe that you or people like you ought to be fed to the meatgrinder. so don't conceal who you are. be vocal and never stop pushing to make contradictions visible.

        That's why the cryptofash keep demanding silence from those they want to murder. It makes it easier to murder those they want to murder.

      Luv 2 b back in the aughts, when our tips were frosted just like Saddam's decades-old yellow cake uranium we were told was somehow going to blow up the entire Iranian plateau.
