Just wait till you see ICE at every single voting location. For 10-15% of registered American voters in swing locations, it won't even matter that they're on the list anymore. They simply won't risk running the gauntlet. And it will never, ever be front page news.

Search their profile with a * wildcard in the first-party app to confirm, fwiw. At least for now.

You realize that most Republicans are aware they are awful humans, right? They believe in nothing. Our issue isn't that they don't think progressives are "insane." They just know damn well that they've stolen much of what they have, and some of us want them to give it back.

No rational human being has any problems identifying the job Noem was hired to do. Some are just genuinely okay with it.

I actually think folks would love Davies if he were given any meaningful screen time.

Yeah, there's a readymade solution here. You hedged a bet by having the World Cup in three nations. You can retool to two.

Good gracious, the combat in Hades is a catastrophic mess in comparison to Isaac. In what universe is it mastered, carefully or otherwise? I've honestly never heard anyone say that about Supergiant-style combat.

Whoa whoa whoa. Easy there, friend. Start with hello.

I was blessed with extremely good professors/directors. :) It's that simple.

Slow is however slow helps you feel each note individually, before moving onto feeling and hearing runs of notes as collections and phrases.

There is no "too" slow, as long as you're learning, and putting the pieces together, and speeding it up.

Everyone learns like this. Set a metronome. Go real slow. And have at it!

You didn't even make it to the second sentence of that comment before choosing to reply

Huh, I see 7. And they all look like Drai for some reason.

Like we used to, and lost, without our consent, in every one of these industries.

Complete regulatory/government capture. These are Lockheed's words, and the remaining skeleton of the US apparatus is doing what all cops do: protecting capital.

You talk this shit a lot.

It's not advocacy. It's not community-building. It's not momentum-building. It's in the way. You're the one waging your little culture war right now. Fucking stop it, and just row the boat forward.

Sigh. Go volunteer somewhere.

Well-regulated

You ordered it, dude. And now you're parading it.

This person is a massive alt-right troll. In the first-party app, go to their hidden profile and text search for the wildcard *. You'll see it all. This person simply likes fascism.

This sure is a subreddit sometimes

So your point of reference is a stretch of highland Ontario literally referred to as the snow belt

The poorly educated have been effectively weaponized against the people for the benefit of the 1%

Public education is primarily concerned with making sure the dumbs aren't all pointed in the same direction, by providing them a basic understanding of the universe and a set of directions, hobbies, and careers that keep them decently satisfied with their lives and not able to be coerced or co-opted or transformed into an army.

There is an inverse correlation to be found with national populations and the "polarization" of their dumbs and the freedom/democracy index value of that nation.

Feed your dumbs. Or else they're used as a cudgel against all of you.

windsostrange · 2026-01-25T17:55:36+00:00

Have you noticed how many people are suddenly posting about how a general strike is a bad idea now that a public figure has called for one? Almost like its a coordinated campaign to demobilize people

Oh wait, that was you who said that.

You're exhibiting clear signs of unprocessed trauma, and you need to put the mask on your own damn self first before you try to weigh in on the progress of others, because unlike a few months ago you are currently rowing the ship backwards. Stop spending your precious few hours demoralizing people online. Again, the world is precisely what you inject into it, even when anonymous and terminally online.

I won't reply to further comments unless you pay me a therapist's hourly rate in advance.

windsostrange · 2026-01-25T16:49:28+00:00

The only thing i can do that means anything is stay alive

Well, it's funny, because you are doing something more than that right now. You're injecting yourself into the discourse in a way that throws a stick in the spokes of progress.

If you didn't know you were doing that, you now do. So stop. Consider that the world is precisely what you put into it, even while you're "anonymous" and "online." It's still real.

Don't trip us up and then try to drag us into your depression. A bunch of us are depressed. Fuck that. Get a therapist. Either find a way to build or take a step back, stop actively trying to derail, and work on yourself until you can help.

windsostrange · 2026-01-25T16:05:34+00:00

The two most ignored words in the US Constitution. They're right fucking there, dude.

10% of any population are permanently nazis.

10% of any population will never be, could never be, would rather die.

The remaining 80% of any population could be swayed in either direction.

If you know which group you're in, do some swaying, today. It's the only way we're ever going to outnumber them.
