Hopefully I can replace myself with an AI and then she can deal with this shit.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

As a trans woman who spent a lot of her life as a violent man, I have some perspective on this.
The tendency to blow up and hit things? Those are panic attacks. Men don’t like to think of themselves as having sissy emotional problems and so they just try to stubbornly power through their panic by yelling and hitting things, but like, a good cry really fucking helps you know? Meds too! Take a break, get some fresh air, take some deep breaths, fix your makeup, it’s going to be okay. No need to break shit.
There are people who would climb over charred bodies to touch the stove, and unfortunately a lot of those people have a lot of money.
Fascism always goes hand-in-hand with vigilantism.
Chicken and egg situation.
Did Russia make them into this, or did Russia seek them out because of who they already were?
Honestly, Colorado is a desert state. Sometimes that means having gravel with only a couple plants.
I’ve heard grass referred to as “green concrete”
It’s the year 2050. The robot apocalypse didn’t happen because the robots just want to play vidya and smoke cyber weed.
Ban lawns. Period.
We’re in this mess because millions and millions of people that voted for Trump and they’re going to vote for him again.
The lesson here is that we need to do something about Trump voters, not waste time on a few percent of dorks that think voting 3rd party matters.
Vigilantism and fascism always go hand-in-hand.
“Customize”
If I can’t have a prehensile penis that can weild a third weapon or gain a bite attack with vagina dentata then can I really customize?
Sometimes (the freak lobster men like top right aren’t what most women are into lol), but Hollywood doesn’t give a shit about what women want. This is what men want. It’s all power fantasy.
We could run Clinton again. It’s Her turn!
But is our contribution minuscule compared to theirs? Like let’s say one man sells (an equal amount of) gasoline to a thousand people. Is that one man now contributing 1000x more to greenhouse gas emissions than any one of those people?
But that’s not all he’s doing!
He then takes the revenue from selling gasoline and uses it to bribe politicians and hire lobbyists and invest in more oil refining/exploration; he’s making the problem even worse.
Meanwhile, the people he sells the gasoline to don’t have any real choice but to buy it. They need to work to live, and they can’t get to work without gas because Mr. Gasoline destroyed public transportation infrastructure.
Stop trying to flatten everything down to only the carbon footprint (a metric made by the oil industry to absolve themselves on responsibility). They used that money from selling gasoline to convince you that you are equally to blame for climate change as billionaire oil families and it’s absolute nonsense.
Uh huh, and if a rubber stamp judge gives wiretapping permission every time the cops ask for it?
They tried, but “violating everyone’s privacy works” was also an inescapable point. Really undercut the message by making it so effective.
Absolutely! Doesn’t change the fact that Biden’s warning is toothless bluster. If he actually tried to end US investment in China it would collapse the world economy. It’s a M.A.D. world
Our contribution is miniscule compared to our enemies, and we only contribute what we have to because they sabotaged all alternatives! They killed public transportation, they made neighborhoods and cities unwalkable, they turned cyclists (like me!) into 2nd class citizens of the road, and more.
I’d sell my car if I could. I can’t and it’s their fuckin fault!
We are not the same as them. They are the enemy and they must be stopped before they kill us all.
This is literally idealism.
You have an idea about a market solution to the problem, and then act like you’ve solved the problem.
The problem isn’t a lack of ideas! The problem is a lack of implementation! You have to get these ideas into the real world somehow, and revolution is the only way you can do that. There are billionaires aligned against implementing these ideas. You have to stop them.
