I understand your panic, I feel it too.

But the more I learn, the more I realize that fascism is right here, right now (and maybe we've even always been fascist?? I heard that America is what nazi Germany would look like if they won the war and 200+ years had passed for them to rewrite history etc).

This is happening. So prepare accordingly.

Someone please stop us :(

Big undiagnosed autism/ADHD mood

Are they insane or is the whole two-party thing a big theater play and they're taking on the "bad cop" role? Or the stick, as in carrot and stick. Or the "heel" and the "face" of kayfabe. I just feel like they have to know what they're doing. All those teams of people working on campaigns and policies and stuff. Right?

That's when I say something like, "Indeed, such things are baked into the system/are inevitable" etc but that's if they give enough of a shit to listen lol.

Couldn't get Castro lol

a bill to ban people convicted of a violent crime on the subway from public transit

I remember redditors LITERALLY talking about how "in China if your social credit score goes too low then you're not allowed to use trains and stuff!! OMG 1984!!!" which is apparently just made up

And then.... here we are.

Dementia can progress very quickly. You can go from slurring words and forgetting grandkids, and then starving to death because you forgot to eat, all in a few months if it's a bad enough case.

And the president has access to the best doctors and treatments. And he's still like this in public. So you can tell it's gotten quite bad. This dude doesn't even know what's going on anymore or where he is, I bet.

Growing up depressed in this bleak capitalist realist dystopia always wondering "Why can't we have nice things?!?!" means I wasn't gonna stop until I got to the bottom of it. So here I am.

The thread is on the front page, and the comments are pretty bad, yeah. Liberal both-sides detachment about a genocide. I find it funny that there seem to be users with a tag called "Exemplary", and they all have the worst takes lol.

Yeah I think it's about me wishing I could just be a passive observer and not have any obligations (could be related to pathological demand avoidance/autism).

When I think about life after death, I think my "heaven" would be just me existing as a formless consciousness that can float around wherever I feel like, observing things around the world, or even around the galaxy/universe.

At least some of the comments have some sense.
