  • 2020 protests proved that mayors could not control their police, who often ignored orders and legal requirements

    they held the mayor of NYC's daughter hostage and nobody talks about it. If it wasn't for the cop ran pedo house that was accidentally found in Milwaukee, it'd be the craziest shit from 2020 we just pretend didn't matter

    January fourth wasn’t a coup at all, it was just a pig day on strike. They let their friends in to terrorize the nerdy congressmen to remind them who wields power.

    I would disagree with this to an extent because the moment that tailgate got too close to a member of congress, they dump a mine's worth of lead into a woman. Especially with the fact it was organized by a FBI informant, and how it's been used politically, I think it's much more likely to be an inside job that justifies the police after a year of them showing that they are just the gestapo. But both get us to the same place so it's a pedantic difference.




  • Not that it matters, and obviously that was posted in bad faith, but she's not even a fucking kid. From the time of XX to Strive at least 6-7 years have passed. This wasn't a kid that was pressured into transitioning, this was an adult who wore women's clothing since she was a teenager basically """as a joke, to keep up the bit""" until she was like "oh shit oh fuck I really like this actually". There's no grooming. Literally the worst thing you could say about it is that she was helped through this by a glowie who works for the US department of defense.

    And none of these people talk about how they walked back Baiken's character from the XX days (In one of the endings for XXACC, Baiken claims to have cast away her gender because she's so angry). That seems like a bigger retcon of a character that didn't grow from a pre-teen to an adult throughout the series. MikeZ ass cumbrains.

    (edit: also this character is literally the first good Strive character holy shit. Happy Chaos came close but keeping mandatory frame one links in this game sucks. An obscene improvement of how she played in +R, I can't say that about anyone else in the cast. She has Faust buttons.)

    Not at all, but I don't think there's any place for the working class to participate in Wisconsin politics.

    After the Evers's administration's response to the Floyd protests, I think it's pretty clear that they would be actively hostile to any revolutionary or even reformist action. Barnes isn't different in any meaningful way. Neither are able to resolve the gerrymandering issues, so even if you do hold water for them and they do manage to hold onto the governorship, life will still get worse in the state and all you did was continue to tie the left to a toxic brand. The rightward turn (which isn't really supported by the people living here, and is totally undemocratic) is a matter of "when", not "if".

    If you still feel the psychic need to vote, do what you have to, it doesn't matter at all on an individual level. Just please, don't defend these monsters in conversations with other people, treat their campaign staff with hostility, and don't give them a cent.


  • I don't think this is a bad question, but what do you gain from digging deep into this?

    I would err on the side of "it was a total inside job", but the applications of that, if it's true, aren't really different than "the goverment was aware of 9/11 prior and allowed it to happen." They've openly admitted to that, it's something even your average lib is willing to get on board with, and if true, should result in the execution of the entire Bush administration and permanent surveillance of their parents/children. If the CIA did or didn't cause this, would it change what should happen to the organization?






  • hard disagree

    I think we can both agree that the office doesn't really have any actual power, our democracy down to the local level is a complete fucking joke and only exists to diffuse class struggle. There can't be any meaningful policy differences between our heads of state. Within that context, Harris is the best possible option in both "hey, look how your participation in this sham is debasing and pointless" (especially when the person who beats her in the 2024 general operates 99 percent exactly like she would have because we live in the 4th Reich) and "what would be the funniest fucking option"

    like if they really wanna ignore covid and get unemployment into the double digits, let us laugh at someone who's so xanned the fuck out that she makes less sense than the rapitst who's brain has been slurry since the late 80's.
