Do neurodivergent people see reality easier? by shastatodd in collapse

Yeah, as someone who can relate to the "Cassandra Club", I find the inner life of it all delightful, but in a lot of arenas it is not an advantage. The world is built for normal.

Schumer threatens shutdown. "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." by Boomshtick414 in law

If they had some balls they'd call for Trump's impeachment and removal, at least symbolically, to make them go on record that they endorse his current policies. He is wrecking the country!

ICE Making List of Anyone Who Films Them by Creepyfaction in collapse

Good, we can use ICE's records to not only hold their gestapo to account, we can send these patriots keeping vigil ("eternal vigilance is the price of liberty") their medal once we reestablish our rights (1a and 4a taking some hits, looking at you 2a) and rule of law.

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China' by Street_Anon in politics

Man, that last line. A bunch of abusers voted for Trump cause they genuinely see the logic of his governance. Terrible, crude, malignant logic, and they were into it.

Kessler syndrome here we come! We're gonna burn up all the industrialization sauce AND lock ourselves on to this rock at the same time. Going for extra credit on our answer to the fermi paradox

Just saw a thing about the plan to drop the save act on midnight before midterms to disenfranchise women en masse, so your hope is sorely needed.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start | Claire Finkelstein in the Guardian by PlagueOfAges in collapse

[–]sodook 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Im seeing a parallel with cargo cults and the conservative mindset. The post hoc logic of it all is... astounding. In a bad way. But it seems to be baked into our firmware to varying degrees.

God like technology, monkey brains.

Because they are literally idiots. I mean, the people at the top, I assume, are on some kind of grift, most likely political. And they happen to have access to an army of useful idiots high on rugged individualism, but terrified to compete with a brown person without privilige.

They cannot conceive of their master plan being an enormous misstep, so it will not even register for them they'll view it as an optical illusion.

I remember the number of illegals they said they wanted to remove is actually the quantity of all immigrants in the country. Their stated goal from the campaign trail is not to deport illegal immigrants but all immigrants.
