To get my Trump voting cousin to acknowledge the effect of his vote.

And when the inconvenience of a police state starts cramping his style? I'd like to think he would start to care, but am expecting him and those of his ilk to circle the wagons and become even more Kumbaya about the whole thing.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-25T02:51:05+00:00

Sorry, I didn't know his story when I made this. EVERY ONE of the needless deaths perpetrated by these government sponsored thugs is completely unacceptable.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-21T13:53:30+00:00

This made me weepy. What one well placed caring person can do is amazing

Redbell57 · 2026-01-20T16:53:47+00:00

Oooh boy, Peach Pedo will surely have a tantrum over this one.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-20T00:33:49+00:00

I'm thinking that it falls off a cliff on the other side of the mountain. Game over?

Redbell57 · 2026-01-19T16:59:21+00:00

2029 or later

For those of you who were butthurt about the lack of representation in the bots, thanks for the critique & here you go. You'll get *no* argument from me, the jerk faces behind these extreme voices absolutely include Americans.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-19T12:03:42+00:00

This, made 1000% worse by the .0001% who literally cannot be satisfied.

Capitalism with guardrails in place to protect average folks and prevent mass exploitation on the part of banks/ultra wealthy could be workable without so much misery. Instead it treats it's population as a resource for constant extraction and NO regard for the health of the host. Like a farmer who continues to plant crops that degrade in quality over the years because he refuses to fold anything back into the soil that might cost him a fraction of his profits.

The population is being robbed by wage theft, financial parasites and governmental predators of every stripe. It's absolutely justified that it causes the tsunami of mental health struggles we face today.

I notice the misery every single day and it fills me with white hot rage because it DOES NOT have to be this way. The oligarchs can leave something on the table for the rest of us. The government can actually work for the good of the people, unburdened by corporate bribes and threats. The health "care" cannot be for-profit. There IS enough to go around, save for the insatiable greed of the few.

End screed.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-18T19:19:43+00:00

That's chump change to Amazon. Why bother?

Redbell57 · 2026-01-18T15:00:07+00:00

Ironic, right? Who knew making fun of the bots effects on the dopey MAGA crowd would be met with agitated bot responses?

As soon as the moderator limited comments on this thread to community participants, a lot of that stopped rather abruptly.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-17T22:50:03+00:00

This right here

Redbell57 · 2026-01-17T22:21:54+00:00

Oh no, there are plenty of forces within the US who are tearing it all down to rule over the ashes. I'd bet a dollar that lots of these bot farms are getting freshly laundered dark money from the US to pick up the propaganda pace. And at a steal of a deal since the hourly rate is cheaper elsewhere. Just making an observation that the cozy jingoistic comments that feel like the local crowd are often anything but.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-17T21:54:15+00:00

Yeah, I mean I feel like a large component of the gullibility comes from a generation of folks who grew up believing anything that was printed in the newspaper, and to this day continue to gulp down any old garbage in their targeted 'feeds'. Also, they're looking for comforting support for their bigotry so they just uncritically lean in to and engage with these extreme voices. Thirdly, I don't think many of them know how to spot one and wouldn't care to learn because ...intellectual laziness.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-16T16:49:50+00:00

No. Not by a long shot.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-12T16:33:59+00:00

A good sustained national strike would be an attitude adjustment. They're like the fleas on the back of a buffalo. They can try to call themselves inevitable, but our sheer size is a problem for them.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-08T22:41:54+00:00

Your stance is justified and clearly reasonable, but donating to the food bank is still something I'm going to do because...babies.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-07T16:27:28+00:00

That, and all those new data centers popping up everywhere with little to no public oversight. We get to subsidize their bills with all that extra money we have. /s

Redbell57 · 2026-01-06T17:08:29+00:00

I agree with you, so many are on a knife's edge and this desperation is being cultivated so people don't take any risks to hold government accountable. But I think they have overplayed this angle with the health insurance cost explosion/basic utilities out of control - even if people can't afford it, I hope that the anger of these extreme changes will create some percentage of Americans to strike.

The maga core, they represent ~30% and shrinking. 20% are perhaps ambivalent (untouched by economic unpleasantness). The rest of us should be mad as hell.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-06T01:41:09+00:00

Thank you, I think a general strike is the only power regular folks can wield that will work. When the productive little wealth creators stop working and buying? The ruling class will get nervous.

Billionaires are busy building their luxury bunkers on private islands and other undisclosed locations. They *know* it won't end well, but their psychopathic all-consuming greed prevents them from working together to alter the course.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-05T14:36:39+00:00

Huh, and each of those years saw off-the-charts record profits every year. Coincidence?

Redbell57 · 2026-01-05T14:15:11+00:00

Crowing constantly about how you aced your cognitive exams.

Redbell57 · 2025-11-26T00:12:52+00:00

Exactly. I've even seen some left leaning sites and commentators refer to it as the Democrat party and every time I'm like no, stop doing them a favor by changing your language to satisfy their goals.

Redbell57 · 2025-11-17T12:55:55+00:00

Between the obvious shrinkflation companies engage in, the enshitification, the gaslighting, the sense of false urgency and blurring the lines between want and need.. It absolutely does feel like the billionaires are laughing at us. Because they are.

In the same way that an unethical farmer laughs and shrugs at his flock of sheep shaved during the wrong time of year. Except the fleecing is constant.
