For the entire planet, prior to the last few hundred years. Religion agreed, because pedos are attracted to power and religious leaders were the most powerful.

All of Islams problems can be explained entirely by demographics, modern history, and wealth distribution — which directly impacts quality of education.

Iran was a relatively liberal democracy before western plutocracies chose to arm radicals and overthrow the government.

Afghanistan was relatively stable until the soviets invaded and overthrew the government, and the west taught them how to do terrorism/insurgency.

But sure, let’s just ignore history and act like Christianity wasn’t a radical terrorist org prior to science and universal education.

You’d think they’d get the memo after several decades of “corporations get most of what they want, without objection” while “the people can’t even get basic healthcare or a minimum wage comparable to poorer countries”, yet here we are… Fascism is knocking down the door, financed by the wealthiest capitalism can muster, and they still have their heads firmly planted in the dirt, blaming the left for not voting, without evidence … when the millions of people who didn’t vote may very well be just as oblivious as Trump voters, don’t know how the government works, don’t know the danger they’re in, and don’t pay enough attention to care 99% of the time.

Mental illness is the problem, of which all religions are at the top of the list.

This unprecedented relationship between the world’s richest man and the leader of the free world raises concerns about the influence of wealth on government.

The only change is that Liberals are apparently becoming aware of the power dynamic that has always existed — that democracy cannot exist with massive wealthy inequality and money equal to speech. I’m also positive that if Trump/MAGA fails to implement fascism (this time around), Liberals will believe the current system works, and completely ignore the reality that their system was almost destroyed by a small number of wealthy sociopaths.

And this little piggy built his home with straw…

“That’ll stop the fascist dictatorship” said the pig.

The pig was killed and eaten. The end.

It’s cute you think fascists care about borders, and that the US doesn’t have a history of persecuting foreign political opposition.

What are you, 12?

Nobody:

Capitalism: “tune into the only freedom fighters on Earth standing up to the corporate elites — mr fascist billionaire and mr fascist meathead millionaire — only via your EvilCorp ShillBox subscription”

They never were. Letting the fox run the hen house will always fail. Once you realize all of the UN and analogous environmental orgs/events (IPCC, COP, etc) are politically/corporate managed, and do not align with the scientific consensus, you realize they only exist to greenwash and legitimize for-profit interests, and inaction.

Trump will designate Reporters Without Borders a terrorist org, and terrorize their reporters using the state.

I was gonna say this Bosnian war film I caught on the public broadcaster 2 decades ago, but it apparently won a fuckin oscar, so I now recommend you watch Birdemic instead.

Man. Screamers was a regular on 10 VHS for $10 holidays. Must’ve watched Soldier 5 or 6 times on late 90’s cable. Watched it not long ago too. Still not great, but I still can’t look away.

We’re still months away from Turd-day. He will go through at least 17 cronies within the first 1 year.

There’s ever so many things to not look forward to!

Apparently they just become fascist

It’s okay. We’re only running out of time. ALL of us — ALWAYS — hurtling through space at ~30km/s around a fireball that’s burned for billions of years, on a spaceship that materialized out of the remanence of exploding fireballs, which materialized out of nothingness.

Believe it or not. A banger shower thought was an inevitability.

We’re basically the universe waking up to itself after 13 billion years of a chaos bender and going "What the fuck!?! I’m on a fucking rock? In the middle of fucking nowhere? … I can’t believe I’ve done this to myself!

Have you tried being in my own imagination land?

Literally no photo apps sync in the background. Apple is a trillion dollar company who wield a monopoly over their users computers and data, and you are defending them. Your defense enables enshittification, and capitalisms exploitation of consumers.

This is false. Apple OS’s contain numerous blockers and friction points that not only stop users from storing much of their data in other clouds, but prevent competitors from being able to develop them at all. Apple does this via elevated privileges/processes and proprietary API’s available ONLY to Apple’s own local apps and cloud servers, for example:

- If you backup your photos to iCloud, everything happens in the background with elevated priviliges and “just works”.

- If you backup your photos to ANY other provider, they run in a separate sandboxed process which doesn’t “just work” because the OS can kill it at any time, meaning users often need to leave 3rd party apps open for their photos to sync at all.

This is the same for every 2nd/3rd party service in comparison to Apple/iCloud across Apple OS’s. Nobody can develop a true competitor for anyone who purchased Apple hardware as Apple has access to a range of processes, services, and API’s which are not available to external developers. You can’t boot up an iphone and set Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3 as your authoritative cloud data or backup provider. You must use iCloud, or you get an inferior experience – not because of any technical limitation, but specifically because Apple designed non-Apple integrations to be inferior.

Maybe for the rest of our lives, however long that is…

1. Silence all calls (or unknown numbers only).
2. Send them all to voicemail.

Never care about scam calls again.
