You’re telling people to do nothing and there’s no point in doing anything until some imaginary worthwhile battle…

And yeah I am disheartened, of course I am, this is a terrible situation to be in. I’m arguing that we still have to fight. Everyone who understands what is going on and cares has to fight with the blitz spirit - when your enemy is much more powerful and on paper is going to kick your ass 100% certain and is bombing the crap out of you every day but the stakes are so high you fight anyway and fight harder.

I personally think we have to find a way to eliminate psychopaths, sociopaths, narcassists and other cluster B’s from any kind of role of power. Not just government but also business.

That’s interesting, I’d never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren’t able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.

Instagram isn’t for sex is it?

I get that you’re disheartened but pick yourself up.

Do you know that the vast majority of people lived in absolute poverty, working every working hour for not enough money to eat?

That’s really wage slaving, when you’re too poor to have a home or even to rent a bed and you sleep stood up against a rope to stop you falling on the floor.

Or you can’t make it and you go into a workhouse, separated from your kids and made to work for no money and given gruel to eat.

The way people got out of that hell was to organise, to fight, to keep fighting. That’s how workers won ALL the rights which are normal in the west - minimum wage, no child labour, maternity pay… Every single decent law was fought for.

So don’t tell me we or you have it hard right now, just because things are harder than you’re used to and we’re all scared.

We’ve had it easier all our lives and most of us didn’t want to go out of our comfort zone to fight to make life better. Our chickens are coming home to roost now.

Let’s try to lift each other up instead of demoralising each other.

They could be organising huge nationwide protests or storming the capitol like he did. They could be telling the truth like AOC and Bernie

‘Making the family blonder’

Aphantasia?

I think there’s more than one kind of imagination. It’s like the opposite of ‘thinking outside the box’.

Theirs is more like ‘wow this box is big! I’m gonna get inside a smaller one’.

Is this why the dems are standing aside?

Do they need him to be alive? They can use him as long as he’s not rotting too obviously. I have a strong suspicion he already stinks.

Most people have an astounding lack of imagination. Its like they thing that things can’t get much worse because that would be too different to now…

It’s true, it was programmed into us by our creator Hans Asperger.

I’m really struggling with the idea that humanity doesn’t deserve to survive. Its just mind blowing how stupid and disgusting people can be.

A lot of people don’t vote as a protest. Most stupid shit I ever heard and I instantly lose respect for anyone that doesn’t at least go spoil their ballot.

The reason for this happening now is that Russia is on the verge of collapse and Putin has turned the screws on trump. If things don’t go his way the pee tape will leak

I know… I love food and have a huge thing for not wasting food too

She’s obviously too pretty to be smart /s

I most often find food, I actually drink the coffee most of the time

Yeah, I heard that. But I think that Ukraine couldn’t actually use the nukes so they were of limited use, like maybe they could have been repurposed or something. But yeah no doubt about it, Ukraine got screwed and now they’re finishing the job. I hope they sell their resources to anyone else, China or North Korea before they let Russia or the US have them.

I think he’d be smart enough to not want to take the risk of destroying so much. Yeah he’s a psychopath but who would gamble with that kind of destruction… I guess if the nuke failed to explode that’s another consideration but I’d assumed even if the air defences worked in any sense, the nuke would still detonate? If that happened in the air, wouldn’t it kill/maim a lot of people and taint land with the radioactivity?

What worries me is that the UK nukes are (I think) unable to be used without US authority so at the moment they’re essentially useless even as a deterrent. I saw Kier Starmer giving that speech recently and yep, we’re in trouble lol, he’s no good at hiding his feelings. I almost feel sorry for him, except that I remember what he did to become the labour leader.
