Yeah, so it got big on tiktok & stuff and then 5 days later it's a twitter fad and the olds grab ahold of it and run it into the ground.

Honestly whats helped me alot is just reading the news on GBS and cutting out various political discords i was in and replacing them with either GBS or chiller discords and irl friends when i get the chance. I feel weirdly more hopeful about the future even if i have some depression about various personal poo poo.

Yeah, I largely consume any major news from here. I read headlines on sites to get a vague idea of goings-on, but the sensationalism websites rely on for clicks is exhausting to put up with. It's also easier to consume news with like-minded people- not like an echo chamber per se, but as a support mechanism to digest the difficult stuff happening.

Rome's entirely cool in all respects, but the way it's being used by Musk is a total Chud move. Intentionally.

Yeah a lot of people don't know about the soap made from the rendered fat of 1000 children that they were going to use to kill Lazarus. They gotta have some patsy do it so it's not directly tied to the nazis or directly linked to any of their poo poo.

"Back in those days, might made right! The good old days. Obviously I would be one of the mighty and not one of the oppressed in such an age. I know this because of how good I am at video games. I can't stop thinking about how amazing my life would be as one of the powerful imperialists unbeholden to anyone but themselves! I would say things and people would have to listen to me, or I'd simply order their deaths! Also, no one would ever be allowed to disagree with me!"

He sounds so much like Trump. He didn't just challenge Putin. He challenged him to a physical fight like a real tough guy would.

Add in the brain rot Trump has and he'd probably be talking about having the biggliest company ever or whatever.

In history nerd circles there are 2 topics that scream fascism cosplay: The Roman Empire and WWII.

Mind you, there's no problem with either topic. It's just that both are so huge in scope that professing wholesale interest is usually a sign that the person likes "certain" idealized portrayals. It's always authoritarianism.

The "you ever just think of the Roman Empire" meme has been around for sooooo long and until somewhat recently it was easily shut down by an engaged community of history nerds. But a little while back, circa 2008 for some reason, the voices of the history nerds were crowded out by other, louder voices who chimed in very quickly about how the white, patriarchal, masculine Rome was a model of the ideal. Oh and also the Norse! No wait also the Greeks. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ baby! If only Rommel killed Hitler it would have been a gentleman's war.

It's just recently gone mainstream and I am loving TERRIFIED about how easy it is for people to go from "wasn't Rome neat?" to "Charlemagne personally carried on the traditions of the western world through the Dark Ages" to "Hitler only wanted a return to strength for Europe."

If it was me I would have killed Lazarus with a left handed titanium rail gun *gun fingers* and shoved the null pointer soap down the throat of his assassin and watch him die slow from antibiotic resistant infection as his own saliva dissolves the soap and then made his nazi buddies go berserk on the first cops they see until they aerobically exhaust themselves to death. You know, do it clean.

honestly, I just don't give a poo poo anymore. My job sucks but pays well enough in a crappy rural area that i can't quit. going into weird art communities and friends is a chill escape then frying my brain out on political forums like i used too. I am posting on dying forum while waiting for calls from people worse or better off then me to get Medicaid or snap and then i will do the same 3 calls for 40 hours a week. I know hell, i am fine with posting my weird poo poo sometimes. I probably have depression but i have kinda moved past into some weird indifference. worst that happens hear is people laugh at it, which was kinda the point. also here is the finished thing.


wont people just use discord.

don't let people give you poo poo for commissioning bizarre things from artists

yes, radical leftist community builders are coming for your small farms

they WILL be watered AND fertilized and you WILL be educated on the ease and utility of keeping a couple little backyard chickens and maybe you'll start a COMPOSTER because CHRISTMAS and the holidays are around the corner and that's a GREAT time to start building a decent PILE of RICH LOAM

nobody hates children like the radical left, who want to make sure that schools have free lunch programs and expanded teaching staffing and adequate school supplies and medical care for kids and assistance for struggling families.

Parental paid time off, liveable wages, family planning rights, crisis resources, reduced gun violence in schools,
