I don’t even know why I even bother paying attention to politics anymore. With a single-digit number of exceptions, pretty much everyone involved in this shitshow is somewhere on a spectrum between utterly insane and completely, unequivocally useless.
He’s far, far worse a “nutty conservative”. He’s a psychopathic neo-feudal techno-fascist. Nothing about his worldview is good, and absolutely he touches or is connected to changes for the better. The world will improve when he is no longer amongst the living.
It’s just so comically obvious that their bleating about “save the children” is 100% theatrics. I continue to be dumbfounded at how inexcusably gullible and idiotic so many of my countrymen are.
Well, that, or emigrate and choose to contribute your skills and expertise to a country/region/polity that actually somewhat aligns with your values and ethics.
And to that end, I’m seriously considering figuring out how to move to the EU, and perhaps even getting back into the defense industry, because I see the possibility of an open conflict between the US regime and the EU (which I see as perhaps the last bastion of democratic-government, flawed as it is in many ways) as a disturbingly nonzero eventuality.
Not a career move I ever thought I’d reverse - NGC was interesting for a time when I was younger, but I pretty quickly decided that wasn’t where I wanted to pour my efforts. But priorities change, and exigencies develop.
Put another way: the regime has completely forgotten where a lot of the scientists and engineers who made the Manhattan project happen, and later enabled the space race, came from.
If you’re a good little citizen, they might even teach you how to concentrate while you’re at camp!
Wait. No stop I DIDN’T MEA-
Yeah, good points. Tangentially, I believe Switzerland has an even higher percentage of their grid coming from hydro, though I don’t know the percentage offhand
Fucking everything about this is fishy as hell.
The fuck…? Seriously? That’s like calling a faucet a water bottle.
Play Hardspace: Shipbreaker if you want to see what that’d probably look like, considering our current trajectory
Kind of says all you need to know about the regime’s priorities, regardless of how they bleat about “saving the children” (for grooming and abuse by their buddies behind closed doors, I surmise)
Nuclear: great.
Natural gas: what the fuck, seriously?
I’m honestly not sure it’s a recoverable situation.
I, for one, simply don’t trust the reliability of any of our institutions considering how the regime is in the midst of demonstrating how unbelievably brittle they are, and simultaneously how feckless and spineless anyone in a position to say “fuck you, no” has been thus far.
I’m additionally unconvinced we’re going to have free and fair elections next year, or in three years - if they even hold them at all.
The regime is probably going to decriminalize and simply get rid of the concept of marital rape at some point, if we’re being honest.

Wired is like the WSJ of tech journalism, tbh
lol can confirm
The charismatic ultra-right influencer never called for violence against political opponents.
Uh. What? Are we talking about the same guy? Because he absolutely, undoubtedly, inarguably did. What the fuck is this sanewashing?
Amongst many other oddities and inconsistencies, the evidence chain of custody was absolutely fucked six ways from Sunday
SO MANY people were just absolute limpdicks in response to the clear and present danger of fascism. It honestly almost begs the question of whether this is actually what they wanted. That caliber of imbecilic, vacuous leadership is just astoundingly negligent, and they all continue to circlejerk themselves about how “nice” it was during the Biden admin.
Or maybe a hollow point
