  • You’re getting paid for doing the work of Fox News and Republican grifters, right? The only place I’ve seen or heard about anyone wanting to take guns from anyone has been from right-wing conspiracy theorists and right-wing talking heads who use that shit to scare right-wing idiots into voting against their best interests by conflating sensible gun laws with taking all guns away. You make up stats or cherry-pick from somewhere, that’s clear.

    I know of no democrat voter who doesn’t own a gun nor any that don’t want them to be available. We just don’t think our school kids should need to practice active-shooter drills or invest in bulletproof backpacks to get an education because Bill here HAS to have a weapon that can cut a deer in half from a mile away. They got dumb-fucks spouting this shit off cause the more they repeat the lie the more dumb-dumbs believe them, fight a culture war instead of a class war, and buy more guns.

    Republican voters with your belief will find out how many lies they swallowed if a Civil War does break out. The left may have fewer guns but I don’t know of any gun nut with more than one life.










  • I feel this in my very creaky bones! I, too, have fond memories of playing EverQuest on a 56k modem and thinking how cool it was that I could play with people from all over the country and world. At least until someone picked up the phone and got me killed mid-fight! Ted wasn’t all that right with his choice of targets, but his assessment of our broken system back then was spot on, I agree. I wish technological improvements since those days didn’t come with the side of techno-fascism that we see today.




  • I agree with your assessment and concern. Thank you for both! I have always had a strong sense of justice and morality. But I also love redemption stories. I believe in forgiveness, but only for those who demonstrate remorse, including MAGA and fascists. I know people can change, not just pretend to be better. My chief complaint about the ultra wealthy is that they could have enough to have the life they do without killing the planet and bleeding everyone dry, but they actively choose not to. There is a fundamental flaw in their brain and no amount will ever be enough for them.

    I don’t blame a tick or flea for existing. They didn’t ask to need the blood of others to survive. But most parasites only take enough to perpetuate their species and then move on. Greed has no limit, proven time and again across history. My beef is that they could have their blood and move on, but that isn’t enough. There is no enough with these people. We didn’t need to live like this, but their endless greed makes the world a shittier place.

    As far as I’m concerned we tried to keep the balance through the levers of govt. and policy. They (those who think like the authors of Project 2025) came along and smashed the system to pieces. We have very little recourse, as such, to enact change going forward that won’t include their removal from society. They own our police, our media, our politicians, our food sources, and our courts. Now, using what they’ve hoarded, they have destroyed the government systems that provide for anyone but them and told the rest of us to eat shit and die.

    I was naive, before. I’m aware, now.
