  • Oh the democrats did not learn a goddamn thing from 2016 let alone 2024.

    I know it sounds completely crazy, and it is completely crazy, but I think there’s a damn good chance my state will secede if Canada shuts off our electric. Especially if they do that in the winter. I now have it on my utterly batshit insane what could go wrong 2025 bingo card.

    The other thing that might make us secede is if they try fucking with our state constitutional right to abortion. If both happen, I think we will secede. Maybe join Quebec or maybe become our own spot of Canada or maybe be fully independent like we were before the United States existed.



  • I’m aware of that, I’m not aware that they’re required to be American born, it would be an interesting constitutional question if the president and VP died and the speaker of the house wasn’t American born.

    Edit - looking into it further, I don’t see the same qualifications being required as president and vp. For example, one only has to be 25 and up to be speaker of the house, yet one has to be 35 for president or vp. So again, I wonder if they elected a 25 year old as speaker and then a plane crashed with the president and vp on board (not possible they don’t fly together but let’s play pretend) I wonder if the speaker would be promoted to president to maintain continuity of government or if they’d be passed over to whoever’s fourth in line that meets qualifications.








  • To be fair Luigi is a member of the bourgeoisie.

    Also re cop city, that was going to happen anyways. the state has been steadily consolidating power and removing the ability of meaningful dissent for decades now - arguably since 9/11 but even before they were clamping down on the left although with less of a security state apparatus.

    The half or so that own property and 401Ks do. Those numbers are shrinking and will continue to shrink under grinding neoliberalism, continuing wealth concentration, and collapsing empire.

    And they’ll blame anybody but the elites responsible. If only they’re good little boys and girls they too can be members of the elite. The idea that society will revolt en masse is comical in 2024. Unlike the late 1800s early 1900s there was not nearly as much propaganda and brainwashing as there is today. The elites already won when it comes to manufacturing consent for labor slavery.

    Which is why stochastic terrorism will be the way forward. Pluck off enough elites and they’ll be frightened into serious reforms.

    History rhymes it doesn’t repeat - this revolution will not be a repeat of any prior one.






  • Autistic screeching the authorities do

    Really dude? Really? I bet far more autists with their strong sense of justice would be on the side of the shooter than the authorities. Especially since autism usually has other health issues that often present with it so they have more first hand experience dealing with the industry.

    They’re playing dumb and engaging in censorship because they don’t want copycats.
