the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence
the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice
some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"
if they are not enough? too late?
then we are truly fucked
#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you
@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel
study the history of #chile, #southkorea, #spain
look at #serbia, #georgia, #hungary today
corrupt, murderous regimes, opposed
they fought! they're fighting!
what you about you #usa?
i will not listen to arguments saying #american #democracy is doomed:
hopelessness
cynicism
it only helps #plutocrat-#bigot malice
you fight
you #vote
now and forever
that matters
"but it should be easy"
never is and never will be
show a fucking spine
"Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website"
If you're #black and/ or a #woman, your sacrifices will never matter to #MAGA and their only reaction is to try to erase your history and ignore your existence.
The #bigot-#plutocrat #political axis
"#Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income #Tax on $2 Billion of #US Income in 2024"

this right here
the root of all of our problems
how a cringe #edgelord icon of #bigotry like #Musk can wield so much power and how our #democracy dies to #plutocracy
well, not the root of all of our problems
the #bigots matter too
by goosing #ignorance and #indecency the #plutocrats can pull con jobs on hateful dimwits to wield power
the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis
our enemy
The #Plutocrat-#Bigot #socialMedia axis takes race swapping characters in #movies seriously
Because it's a pipeline to #farRight #politics, weaponized fake outrage
And they get to engage in #racism and #hate
"#AyoEdebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon #Musk shared fake report about #PiratesoftheCaribbean casting
#TheBear #actor called Musk a #fascist and an idiot after his reaction to a post from a #rightWing account that claimed she was replacing Johnny Depp"
"Bad thing in another country horrifies, driving support for the opposite at home"
I think it helped in #Germany
I think it will help in #Canada
So the fate of the #USA is to be an example of what poor #gunControl, no #universalHealthcare, and what an unchecked #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis does to a motherfucker:
Sane observant #citizens in other #democracies can avoid our fate

#Bluesky is owned by #crypto bros, it's not going to save you. The #plutocracy will call in their favors at the opportune time, and it's going to fall the same as #Twitter did. The manipulation you can't see is probably already underway
The #plutocrat strangulation of all #media is upon us
The #Fediverse is our #refuge, #sanctuary, and, grimly, perhaps our last hold out
#Trump "devoted two full paragraphs to talking about his admiration for the 25th President of the United States, William McKinley. In the end, McKinley won handily, and the People’s Party [populists] collapsed. McKinley presided over years of #plutocrat-friendly policies at home and #warmongering abroad until he was assassinated by an anarchist factory worker in 1901."

Fuck you, you fucking douchebag.
You want people to have more #children?
#Healthcare. #Housing. #Daycare. #Maternity and #paternity leave. #Child #tax credits. A #livingwage. Four day workweek. Etc.
Nah: deny #women the right to have an #abortion and make everyone #poor and desperate, right? Goddamned #plutocrat assholes.
Plus, you raised an absolute festering pustule of a son, #ElonMusk. So don't you dare lecture anyone about #parenting, Cruella.
and i'm saying make our own #socialmedia
start here on the #fediverse
it's got problems but it is good clay
again: if we spent 10 billion dollars, employed 100,000 messaging eggheads, got 10,000 influencers, whatever:
we can't win
because the game is played in the #plutocrat's house. they own the casino. they rig the game
our messaging?
amazing pure platinum
or utter shit
doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter
we have to control the #medium itself, like they do
i have an account i barely use to watch #bluesky
my point is not the current tenor of the site
my point is, if you aren't dealing with a #nonprofit, if bluesky grows influential enough and angers #fascists, #plutocracy can move in and control it
that's the essence of #plutocrat manipulation via #corporate control works
bluesky is at best a temporary reprieve and already has #capitalist decisions that render it dubious at best
It's rather pathetic
I used to have maddening arguments with #conservatives but we both lived in reality so there was substance to it
Now it's akin to dealing with someone in crisis having a delusional break. The modern #conservative is a fucking zombie
I'd like to think it's a fever that will break
But I fear the nature of #plutocrat media and #socialmedia is we now have an entire class of people stuck in a purposefully cultivated zone of #ignorance and lies: #conservatism

"#ElonMusk’s X Backs Down in #Brazil
In an abrupt reversal, the social network’s lawyers said it was complying with court orders that it had previously defied. Brazil’s #SupremeCourt could allow the site to return next week"
Will you look at that
They can whine and whine, but you can still bring #plutocrat manchildren to heel
Thank you for showing the way Brazil
Now if only my country, the #USA, would grow a fucking backbone and follow suit
