@MorePerfectUS @UAW And so is Joe Biden. How can this piece of shit, sell-out bureaucrat loser endorse a ceasefire and Joe Biden in the same breath? All the fearmongering about white supremacy, racism, etc. is so hollow when the UAW keels to the same old. Fuck this guy.

@EoinHiggins_ But look at how empathetic and decent this rotor wash is!

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@ZaidJilani To let woke idpol obsessed liberals act like electing Biden was historical or some shit?

@KyleKashuv Talked to a friend a lot on discord. Suddenly all of my recommended friends were her FB friends. It is creepy.

@LovesTheWords Anybody would be a formidable contender against someone as unpopular as Kamala Harris. Doesn't mean that I would want Tulsi as POTUS at all though...

@thomasafine @Natan96009157 @ScottMStedman I think Joe Rogan's brand is that he doesn't play the same opportunistic ratings game as other hosts. He is known for just letting people talk and listening to them. I doubt he would intentionally let degeneracy happen.

@JDVance1 Other children wearing masks doesn't mean that children are "expected" to wear masks. What kind of logic is this?

On the other hand, you are actually trying to create an expectation that children should not wear masks, which actually does impede other people's freedom.

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@JDVance1 Why do you care? It doesn't affect you, or do you need a mask free safe space?

@TaylorLorenz I think rather they want to keep us sick, so that they can keep doing this again and again. That is how the incentives are lined up.

@peterdaou Weapons to sell, lobbyists to please.

@mtracey The government realizing that UFOs will make people panic and unite less than awareness about the horrid state our word is in right now?

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@SocialistMMA This opportunistic rebranding is moving faster than I thought it would.

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@davidhogg111 To clarify, I think people should wear masks however long they personally want. But I don't think that it should be a signaling tool because that is going to further the sense that getting vaccinated doesn't change anything among people who are not particularly risk averse.

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@davidhogg111 If this is the case, which I kind of agree it is, I think we should really de-normalize the outdoor masking as an identification tool among liberals. Given the very low rate of outdoor transmission even among unvaccinated people, this is a very anti-vaccination message to send.

@MichLKosinski And might I say that the United States history indicates that we haven't really had anything qualifying for "the best of times."

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@MichLKosinski A large point of journalism is to hold the government accountable... you should be expecting these things even during the best of times!

@Qual3oBagulho2 @yet_so_far I see how what I wrote can be taken that way. I don't disagree with that. I stand by my point with the acknowledgement that it needs elaboration. Pressed at the moment, but I'll try to reply with a short thread by this weekend.

[SmilingSisyphus @SmilingSisyphu2]

@Qual3oBagulho2 @yet_so_far I think it is v. possible we might be referring to different things by "material relations" and "materialistic life." Can you elaborate a bit more on the process of devolving into empty labor? Then I can either clarify my position or argue back depending on what exactly you mean.

@davidsirota @b1e56df9ce6549f Plot twist: because of heavy militarization, its actually a nuclear winter that kills us all.

(Obviously, both of these issues need to be taken care of, but then how will people in congress line their pockets?)
