  • Right - that’s essentially what I’ve presumed it is.

    It’s sort of passive eugenics, with an amusingly ironically stacked deck.

    They apparently aren’t actually confident that whites are the strongest, because before they started gutting healthcare, they went out of their way to put minorities at a disadvantage.

    It’s most likely that that’s what all the DEI uproar is about, and specifically why it’s been so capricious and poorly implemented. The goal is to make employers afraid that if they hire minorities, they’re going to get sued by Trump and have to try, and likely fail, to prove that it wasn’t DEI, so they’ll just avoid hiring minorities in general. So then, by crippling Medicaid (and even attaching a work requirement to it if they can get away with it), the kakistocrats will have arranged things so that jobless people will die, and minorities will be more likely to be jobless.

    And the whole thing not coincidentally provides the additional benefit of compelling people to be employed, no matter how shitty and poorly paid the job is, which is what the wealthy parasites need to maintain their ill-gotten and undeserved privilege.


  • I grow more convinced every day that one of the explicit goals of the Trump regime is to kill people.

    It’s not just that the combination of greed, self-interest and overt mental illness on display in the regime leads to deaths, but that, at some level, there’s a very deliberate goal of killing people (notably minorities - gender and sexual as well as ethnic and racial), and that the specific lunatics put into specific positions - most obviously Kennedy - are there because their brains are broken in such a way that even left to their own devices, they’ll kill people.



  • But here’s the thing: MAGA and the manosphere may hate clean energy, but they won’t be able to stop the rise of renewables. All they can do, possibly, is stop the rise of renewables in the United States.

    That’s the most important (and most stultifyingly stupid) point. They’re acting as if they can stop the rise of alternative energy, and they quite simply can’t. It IS the future, and the only real question is whether the US is going to be an active part of that future or not. And for all intents and purposes Trump and his cadre of angry, shallow dipshits have chosen “not.”



  • It’s not a matter of how ones profile would be accessed, but how it would be created in the first place snd how it would be managed.

    Necessarily, those who implement the creation of accounts have control over how they’re created, who is allowed to create them and how they will be handled after creation.

    Any scheme to establish one “central” (your own term) account for the entire fediverse will necessarily be managed by one “central” service, which means one “central” authority over account creation and management










  • I’m afraid it’s too late though.

    It’s possible - arguably even likely - that the Dem establishment still won’t get the message and will instead continue to try to con us into supporting corrupt neolib hacks and will continue to undermine actual leftists.

    In fact, I sort of half expect the New York party to abandon Mamdani and instead back a write-in campaign for Cuomo.

    I wish I was kidding.

    Even if they show never-before-seen integrity and determination and actualy shift back toward supporting actual leftists (or get replaced by a new generation of leaders who will), I still think it’s likely going to be too late. The longer Trump and his ilk remain in office, the more likely it becomes that opposing them will just get you on the next flight to some overseas concentration camp, or dead, or both.




  • As always, their accusations are projection.

    Projection is a handy defensive move, since it gets the accusation out there first, so if/when the same accusation is justifiably made against them, it sounds like childish “No — you are.”

    But I’m pretty sure that Vance, just like his boss, doesn’t do it consciously and deliberately. Instead, like his boss, he projects because he’s so intellectuslly and morally crippled that he can’t even envision acting in any way other than he does.

    For instance, he immediately assumes that Padilla’s actions were political theater because the idea of making a stand driven by sincerity and integrity is so completely alien to him that it doesn’t even cross his mind as a possibility. He immediately assumes it was theater because if it was him, that’s exactly and all it could or would be.
