  • I’m not American; just a foreign ally who would’ve already bought a gun and learned how to use it a decade ago, if I were American, because MAGA has been a fascist evangelical mental illness fuelled by billionaire propaganda the entire god damn time.

    But maybe organise protests outside the homes of every Republican politician 24/7? Don’t let them sleep and make them feel the terror they are bringing to the people?

    Maybe spend your time building lists of who the fascists are, where they live, and how high-profile they are? Maybe study methods of guerrilla warfare and insurgency? Maybe join local antifascist militias and learn how to securely communicate, including in case of when the fascists nuke the internet and energy grid?

    Maybe spend your time preparing for when the mass murder starts? Have a plan of meaningful resistance, then execute it if/when all else fails.

    Because I can tell you right now, the tens of millions of mentally ill Americans are impossible to de programme. They’ve chosen fascism, and they won’t abandon it without being brought to their knees. Trying to reason with insanity is nothing more than wasting your breath.

    "Let’s point out the hypocrisy of the fascists for the thousandth time. Then, we’ll use logic to explain reality to those who have rejected logic for a decade. Then, we’ll appeal to the virtues, morality, and ethics of those who have never once displayed any of those traits.

    That’ll surely stop the fascist coup in its final hour."

    — American “liberals”

    I swear, at this point it’s hard to tell who is more brainwashed and mentally ill. The fascists who reject reality, or the antifascists who reject reality; refusing to accept that the fascists are too mentally ill to be reasoned with.



  • We got capitalism. This is always how it was gonna turn out when you reward the most sociopathic and morally bankrupt criminals with wealth and power; as long as they act behind the liability shield of a corporation, and do it for-profit.

    If you steal 100k you go to prison for years. If you steal 100k from your employees via wage theft you’ll probably only have to pay back a fraction of it and won’t face any criminal charges. There are hundreds of examples the world over of corporations engaging in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable and the criminals responsible facing little more than a public shaming for a news cycle; walking away scott-free with a kings ransom.

    Tobacco companies wilfully engaged in a criminal conspiracy to lie and endanger public healthfor decades — killing millions of people. Everyone involved should have spent the rest of their lives in prison, and been stripped of all their wealth. Same thing happened with lead and asbestos.

    The way we’ve allowed, normalised, and accepted corporate criminals prospering for their psychopathy and narcissism, we deserve dystopia.


  • America is an example of the narcissism and psychopathy that extreme wealth creates, and capitalism rewards, rotting a society to its core.

    It’s most prevalent in America because it has the highest wealth inequality, and the most religiously indoctrinated poorly educated population, but the ultra wealthy tend to be narcissists everywhere; especially those born into extreme wealth, like Trump.



  • It’s actually a work of art how meticulously they achieve the low budget 80’s B-horror aesthetic; acting, direction, cinematography, editing… everything. The random jump cuts (cemetery shotgun, lol), amateur framing, disjointed voiceovers, walking to nowhere at the end of a scene, or entering a scene for far too long, a Tombstone blowing in the wind.

    It’s extremely difficult to intentionally make it all so shit while being so fucking funny. Perfection. Oh, and no fucking canned laughter!












  • Ignacio García Bercero, a former senior European Commission trade official, said failure to deploy the ACI – which he noted could allow retaliation “within weeks” under a so-called “urgency procedure” – would point to deeper institutional dysfunction.

    The “institutional dysfunction” has been evident to leftists around the world for decades. America has been on the path to fascism for over 50 years, and has pulled the world down with it in an endless race to the bottom. America has been exporting their fascist propaganda using their mainstream media, social media, and big tech companies since the creation of Fox News. Now the entire “democratic” world faces existential economic and national security threats from domestic Nazi parties, as well as directly from American technological, military, commercial, and industrial infiltration.

    We should all blame our own political and economic leaders for selling us out and solidifying these vulnerabilities. For helping construct big brother. But no, neoliberal parasites will weasel out of most of the blame, probably also blaming “the left”.


  • Who’s we? You think you or I get to decide what will be censored and silenced?

    Unless the protocol is 100% open source, decentralised, user controlled by default, and resistant to unwanted censorship and propaganda, the oligarchs and corporations will ALWAYS be able to seize control and use it against us.

    If you genuinely think the solution is yet another billionaire controlled closed for-profit platform, propaganda-promoting algos, and a bunch of bootlicking gatekeepers to censor and moderate it — that can be sold, transferred, and monetised in any way, to anyone, at any time — whelp, the world must be an absolute enigma to you.


  • The only correct response is “WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES”, then refuse all communications with the Trump regime. Narcissists are empowered with attention and recognition, so deny them both. Trump and the entire Republican Nazi party will never relinquish power, and will not be neutralised without violence. The Democrat parties majority are financed by the exact same criminally corrupt psychopath elite; they did not release the files either, to protect their wealthy pedophile donors. They are a controlled opposition who have consistently blocked or delayed legitimate progress whenever they’ve had full control.

    The goal should be to implode America’s domestic economy ASAP so the average American suffers the consequences of their own ignorant imperial boomerang and, hopefully, does something about it; containing future violence within US borders. Isolate them and let them deal with the consequences while their cancerous influence is purged from our own economies and politics.

    But… all our political classes are also oligarch-financed-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they’ll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism, in general— allow their continued corporate-oligarch infiltration and corruption of our democracies — on behalf of their own greed and egomania in service to the almighty dollar.

    I have zero doubt multiple EU members have copies of the files, and have known Trump is an intelligence-protected pedo for longer than he’s been politically relevant. Late stage capitalist oligarchy is one big club of unlimited greed and narcissism, and we ain’t in it.
