    Lol, I remember reading your comment from 10 years ago. Grave sadness is an understatement now. It’s delightful though that we’re witnessing the rhetoric as internal bickering amongst these power-hungry fucks at least. Yum yum.

      Hey, thanks friendo. I abandoned my Reddit account for Lemmy’s pastures. Much slower over here, but corporations are ruining everything…

      I do hope the infighting causes inefficiency and inability to make good on some of these promises. What appears to be coming is a rapid nose dive for the US, both economically and socially. A crippled middle class is easier to control, especially if they corrupt UBI or something to save themselves (see Captain Laserhawk).

      Democrats are far from perfect at the moment, but at least there’s a semblance of importance for education, diversity, democracy—people like Vance or Elon promoting “Dark Enlightenment” is the type of philosophical thinking that could absolutely destroy us.

      I hate holding out for the mortality of humans, but some people truly bring pain and suffering at scale to this plane of existence. It all seemed so hopeful not long ago.

      I’ve been reading the Bible if only to quote this stuff before I’m hauled off as some sort of corrupting bisexual philosopher who votes socialist. I wish these people believed in what they feign to read…

        I was commenting on how trite your original comment was, but welcome to Lemmy. And don’t let Vance discourage you from embracing your bisexual philosophical socialism. I support you.
