If some number of my neighbors showed up at my house to thrill kill me wouldn’t it make more sense to kill myself rather than take the chance I couldn’t shoot them all before they incapacitated me and dragged me to their Trump 2020 torture cellar?

idk if you've already heard about this, but there's this neighborhood on the west bank of new orleans called algiers (ie not in the city proper, on the other side of the river, separated by a bigass bridge) where white militias literally set up a whole martial law situation after katrina where they straightup murdered minorities at ad-hoc "checkpoints" and even hunted "looters" - for which they have largely not been investigated or prosecuted for


btw new orleans is majority black and votes ~90% democratic; these incredibly white and conservative enclaves are found as soon as you get just a little bit outside of the city

yep! also the overwhelmingly black prison population in the biggest prison state in the biggest prison country in history were locked in their cells as the guards left while the storm was approaching and are still officially "missing"

much of the cleanup and rebuilding was done by undocumented people who were promptly rounded up and deported when things were almost back to normal

i think the current right wing plan is to turn america into a third world country which can be ruled over by police and "militia" and also with a huge military and nuclear stockpile

and then war with china? they really have no clue what nature has in store for us all.

malaria is constrained by ecological boundaries of mosquitos, so really that depends on climate change making some areas wetter

Malaria was a huge problem in the southeastern US until WW2, when a tremendous amount of resources and DDT were thrown at it. So yeah, we're gonna get wrecked, not just by climate change but also by breakdowns in public spending on mosquito control, which has been ongoing ever since. The CDC has some info about the drive to finally eliminate malaria here.

I love how much we accomplished 50 to 100 years ago is now just totally unthinkable, even though we're infinitely richer and have turbo ultra super computers now

We can't even get anybody in power who unconditionally supports social security now. The notion of PASSING it from scratch? Lmfao

Eliminating smallpox and polio? Forget about it lol. We got to the moon 70 years ago using pocket calculators and today the big space achievement we are being promised is.....going to the moon

An entire government that is totally incapable of doing anything but making the rich richer and population totally convinced that better things arent possible. Amazing. And these shits want to get mad at people for not bothering with them despite being promised nothing more than the grim march of austerity

chapo discussed the war boner for China as being a remnant of a bunch of older politico dipshits studying the soviet union in college during the cold war and having no idea how to deal with a post USSR world without inventing a new cold war

i don't necessarily think they are wrong. Condoleeza Rice was exactly this person in the bush admin. but i don't think a bunch of people who got their careers started as weird Twitter poo poo posters have the most nuanced take on it. there's also the fact that as China and India continue to modernize and improve the standards of living for two billion plus people they will butt heads with our insanely rich but smaller population country whose military policy is basically doomsday prepper thought on a national level

I'm pretty sure I remember a story from last year's apocalyptic California wildfires about some Maga dude flying to California and back so he could drive down the highway throwing lit matches out his car or something to start forest fires in California for ????? reasons. I don't know if they ever found out why he did it, but I remember popular theories were that he was trying to start false flag wildfires to blame on environmentalists, or that he was trying to burn down California because it's a blue state.

Lol my idiot chud, uh, very close relative, is saying her goodbyes to me and my siblings because she's going to be black bagged any day now because of what she knows. She's a 64 year old semi disabled retiree living in Ontario Canada (though she was born in a war torn country and emigrated here as a young child :v:). She also liquidated all her investments she could get her hands on and bought silver bars and jewelry.

Very much so. Heavily exacerbated by social isolation and underlying substance abuse issues but she's made it exceedingly clear that she will not accept help. I doubt the veracity of it but she claims to have letters with her lawyer and family doctor preventing her family, specifically her children, from having her committed or taking control of her finances in any way (we just want to talk but she assumes we're gonna rat her out to the feds or something). We were planning an intervention to beg her to just be with her family but she caught wind of it and told us all in no uncertain terms that she wanted nothing to do with it and would kick us out of her house if we tried.

This person is 100 percent disconnect from reality and its making them miserable and they will not accept any help and any communication with them is instantly twisted to an incoherent string of rambling conspiracy nonsense.

But only she can save us from the pedophiles. It's all very horrible!

My trump-supporting mom wears a face shield instead of a real mask, but "no one's ever told me to wear anything else!" while she goes to shop at the mall or go to restaurants. Yesterday she texted me asking what the reviews for Tenet have been like since the theaters near her are opening again and I told her don't go to the loving theater. She responded with how she has an unknown number of years left and she's not gonna spend it "afraid to go out to dinner or a theater".

This person who used to be my mom would definitely have cared about being a disease vector to other people when I was growing up. Thanks for removing that, Fox News!

Also I haven't talked to my dad since Father's Day because after a nice time with no politics, we said they should visit our new place, and my dad said "probably not since BLM is gonna cause massive riots on the 4th of July and Los Angeles will be in ruins", and when I said "we're done here", he started getting tears in his eyes that I was "silencing his freedom of speech just like when you hid my Trump painting at Christmas!"

Mine, as an immigrant who struggled with language, used to volunteer hours a week running a language circle for new immigrant woman and used it as an opportunity to direct these women to all kinds of support programs and integration initiatives.

Couple months ago I asked her if it's ever justified to take an infant refugee away from their refugee mother and she said in some circumstances it is right. Human brains are not robust things.
