Absolutely fair. Bad mood.

Covid lockdown taught us it basically just needs most cars of the road. There’s a million ways we COULD fix everything, basically overnight. We just won’t

Most people forget they are probably just gonna die in an apocalypse.

One hundred percent.

Like smoking, alcohol is a huge industry in Japan. It’s “normal” for Japanese companies to addict their employees to their products and because the companies ARE the government, they enact incredibly protectionist laws like this to prevent external competition.

Their economy depends on it. It’s super gross. Like America and guns, or Sweden and flatpak furniture (the last one is a half joke)

If Japan starts being a cannabis producer, they’ll 180 so fast you’ll get vertigo.

I will be a billionaire in ten years by solving climate change and rolling back the clock on all human damage to the earth!

Money pweeeeese

Yeah, It’s fucking France. People set fire to police cars because it’s Tuesday. This is not a big deal.

It’s the Guardian so you get what you expect. Inflammatory headlines for clicks.

I think you mean Twitter.

Yes. That is how it works. It doesn’t take a genius to extrapolate these outcomes. It actually takes concerted effort through propaganda and misinformation to maintain the level of cognitive dissonance we have about it.

Oof. Coward.

They’re all on the same team. There are no borders with global fascism.

That’s not what’s happening. These are authoritarian fascists being upset at slights against their Great Leader. Textbook behavior.

Very very very different than common context for “PC”

That’s a nice way of calling people helping you cowards for doing it half hearted cuz they’re also afraid of your opponent. I think the message was sent.

He MUST know how much influence Russia has in the halls of power and media of his allies as well.

Ukraine fights a war on MANY fronts. Not all of them with bullets.

Pretty sure they’d be fine with it if trillions and trillions didn’t disappear into military and black budgets (ie transferring money to their friends)

Yuuuup

No. It is not, this is a scary and extremist perspective and I’m sorry you feel like that. The media in America and the propagandist dismantling democracy have done so much damage.

So many bots, so many promoters of disjunction. It’s overwhelming.

You’re being asked to make a choice between eating a gross vegetable and a the barrel of a shotgun and you’re arguing for the shotgun.

And children without a lot of life experiences to understand. Imagine coming of age in the last decade. This is their “normal”. Its awful and terrifying… exactly what all the people working to divide and and destroy democracy around the world have been working for.

As much as I’m angry at their ignorance, it’s also really fucking sad.

We’re not. We’re blaming them for being fucking idiots who will vote in a literal dictator because they’re mad at Biden. Someone who will do far more damage to and destroy hundreds of millions of lives in the US and the rest of the world.

30,000 deaths in another country is nothing compared to US deaths little orange is responsible for when you only consider his one choice to fuck over pandemic response at the beginning of the pandemic. Dude has the deaths of millions on his hands already.

Anyone, any human being alive, that would vote for him is a fucking idiot that needs to give their head a bashing

I love that you used the phrase democratic choice to describe it too. A+
