    That’s the thing, you’d only be spending the same small percentage of time vs location trying not to die (as per Palestine or Ukraine, or your country if 9/11 or WW3). Lifestyle would have most of the rest covered, same as trying not to die now. History & Wildlife documentaries only cover the most exciting parts. If nature was like that all the time, nothing could live.

    So you could listen to a story (with your community), play a game (with your community), or watch the community drama.

    The big misery is the healthcare being varying degrees of a guessing game, and extremely low levels of convenience. You can’t just walk 15 minutes, grab a handful of berries, a steak, and a potato then go fuck off with (some) family and ignore everyone else.




  • Recipes for a Small Planet; Not totally vegan, and got it from my grandma so it’s old af. It’s also kinda the original vegetarian permaculture cookbook. I don’t have it’s companion book, Diet for a Small Planet.

    (*Edit: After looking up what vegan communities have to say about it, it does need to be iterated that while I love the recipes, it also reinforces the “incomplete protein myth”. Believing in which raises the barrier of entry to veganism more than is necessary or reasonable.)




  • Bro it’s just clones. Clones all the way down. Massive quantities of galactically illegal, horrifically unethical bootleg clones. Clones to live again. Clones to proxy leadership positions. Clones to gather collective power in the dark side of the force. We could all do clones, we’re just not all assholes like that. (*Clones were a metaphor for sycophants, wage slaves & trafficked slaves. I realized afterwards it’s a stretch.)



  • They aren’t exaggerating. They’re modifying to fit the “cunning greedy” antisemitic trope face. Big nose is fine, they made his hooked. Tooth gap is fine, they made him look like he’s been holding out on the dentist to chew gold. Long, flat side-pointy grin is fine. They made him look like a nervous Grinch contemplating the suffering of others with glee.

    The difference is so stark one wonders if you were saying this in good faith, in contrast to the presented dirtbag devil’s advocate (there’s no reason regardless to give them a benefit of the doubt nor defend them given what their position and the points they’re making, even if the art style were borderline).

    It’s a round about way of expressing that correlation does not imply causation. It was done so that everytime someone shares this meme of a guy wearing a T-shirt over his flannel, someone in the audience can explain that the graphs intentionally represent a fallacy.




  • He killed (minimum) 300,000 USAmericans by dismantling the pandemic response team, and then willfully rejecting all support in restructuring it during a pandemic. Because Obama built it. He was “allegedly” (at the time) implicated in a literal pedophile cabal. Then he was voted in again. Those voting for him have such insane cultural cognitive dissonance they’ll tell you “Well I’m hurting, but I’ll sacrifice whatever I need to for AMERICA” asking them “America’s what? What for America?” Doesn’t even make a dent in the cognitive dissonance, it’s so willful.

    You’re thinking about the whole thing from the “myth of the rational consumer” perspective.

    In the right wing mindset the leader IS the group IS the persons. They cognitively need those three ideas to align. That’s why their rhetoric uses monoliths for people - “The Blacks”, “I am Christian”, “Us vs THEM”. 30% of any given society are RightWing Authoritarian Personalities. Another 30% are likely passive at best. How the balance of power shifts is about how your society structures it’s discourse, politics, and community - and the narratives derived therein. Be careful, it can come for you too.

    On the plus side, if the USA gets to vote again, it won’t literally be him.

    Edit: Opposing him isn’t about just opposing a leader choice - it’s about opposing the people and the whole system that valued putting a bad-guy reality tv host in power because it made them feel powerful when having a black president made them feel weak and not the in-group.
