Now it can run Crysis

Bullshit, billionaires are too greedy and morally bankrupt to leave exploited money on the table.

They won’t close the highest producing stores and effectively kill a revenue stream out of conviction in something that isn’t money, because if they had any beliefs or values above “gimme gimme gimme moar moar moar” they wouldn’t be billionaires.

It’s not a matter of not needing it, no shit, they have a socially encouraged mental illness.

It would be better for the new socialist stores if they did vacate the market, but they won’t. They’ll even pull a Walmart and try to do some loss leaders to convince idiots that der free merket menes lower prices for as long as they can stomach it until they find a vector to make the state stores illegal and Jack those prices back up forever.

Another daily reminder that the straights, myself included, are not Ok.

It’s only about energy storage and will. We’ve had clean, safe nuclear designs for over half a century, it is purely greed that has deluded even many of those that claim to defend the environment that keeps us on the path to self annihilation.

Reminder that Chernobyl was doomed from the outset because it was made to serve two masters: power AND weapons grade enrichment.

Technology hasn’t been the bottleneck, greed has. I will never forget or forgive my species for priorities like these: Made solely to keep us addicted to the worst forms of power generation.

So your solution to fascism is to… concede to the hatreds of the fascists.

So the Democrats would be different… how then? Dems and Republicans are both bribed to burn society to fuel economic metastasis at all costs, the only thing that separates them at this point are affirmation ribbons you can’t eat, wear, or live in(D), and stoking hatred through scapegoating® on the social policy side.

If the Democrats get on board with the scapegoating, what are we even voting for anymore? The ONLY reason I vote for them is the harm reduction of not preaching hate as they allow mass homelessness, growing wealth inequity, and defend entire market sectors that have become murderous confidence schemes along with their Republican buddies across the aisle.

Your kind of pragmatism is why we have no real opposition party to the Republicans. Your kind of pragmatism has already brought us to hell.

It really is better to be destroyed by Trump and fascism standing for what’s right, that being empathetic and logical, than to cowtow to his demands.

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. I won’t be the equivalent of a German who provides silent, obedient consent as they dehumanize the gypsies/Jews/disabled.

It’s not rehabbing the Democrat party to yet again make them a little more similar to the Republicans, they’re already fascist light.

We need a major left wing party in the United States. We haven’t had one in living memory. If we don’t get that, highly likely, the ship will continue to sink until collapse. Then we can form a bunch of smaller nations of varying decency to be destroyed within a couple decades by climate change, forcing us back to a far more hostile nature than humanity has known.

It’s almost funny we are doing all of this to ourselves as a species to prevent what my species sees as the worst possible fate: humanism and global cooperation where no one is allowed to hoard enough resources to live as modern pharoahs while others starve and die of exposure.

We’d rather go extinct or to subsisting off hunting and gathering than forfeit our dreams of being the rich sociopaths inflicting ourselves on the masses. Earth has something for a species that toxic.

When you’re immortal, compound interest really does become miraculous.

Yeah that’s gonna be tricky with those. I live in Vegas where they’re already operating. No steering wheel at all.

Then you get to die alone eating cat food while the company you slaved for announces even more record profits and layoffs on the TV.

Thanks for all that can do attitude and work ethic as I drained the sum of your life force over decades, it was just enough to pay for the imported Himalayan granite galley counters on my backup mega yacht, sucker!!!

Only one party is actively funded by our enemies

Incorrect, both parties take money from Wall Street. Only a tiny, tiny minority of the Democrats don’t, and those spoiler Democrats are hated by the DNC far more than the DNC opposes their esteemed Republican opposition.

If you refuse to see the capitalist oligarchs are the enemy that created the conditions for Trump, then nevermind and carry on, as there’s nothing that ever could convince you.

No, sadly. Soulless cash grab.

Because even as the Earth burns and the Fascists march directly due to the capitalist’s class conquest, domination, and occupation, even many Americans who believe themselves to be politically leftwing think they can dunk on socialists and communists for their “silly” ideologies based in social cooperation and mutual social benefit where… Gasp… You can’t grind yourself to death under the toxic aspiration of attaining immoral levels of wealth to live larger than is reasonable within the finite shared habitat known as Earth.

They of course conveniently forget all the military actions the US has taken over the last century to destabilize nations that wanted to become such societies in order to keep their resource markets open to our capitalist’s exploitation.

Oh, and get ready for the hottest summer of your life… So far! 🔥🌎🔥

The Trump base will blame Obama/Biden/Clinton, I guarantee it.

It must be so freeing to live a life more divorced from logic or reality than an indoor dog.

Maybe eliminating natural selection was a mistake.

Both our parties worship at the alter of that bull.

The Republicans are fascists, but the Neoliberal Democrats, all Democrats save 2-5 spoiler the DNC hates more than Republicans, are fascist enablers that play pretend that funnelling the value of the nation’s labor to the top few percent somehow won’t lead to fascism.

Unrestrained capitalism will always lead to fascism.

We turned the bull loose as the slogan said.

What do bulls do to people?

Glad I went Emby.

The Matrix.

Pretty fucking screwed.

This country was destroyed under Reagan. We needed a national security strategy against the capitalists back then and instead invited them into the government.

This is just the fire sale, the vultures picking the well rotted corpse clean. Reagan and Welch destroyed this place, don’t give Trump that much credit. He’s just an opportunist who saw profit in chaos.
