I break things. Then I put them back together. Then I break them again. Just to show I mean business.
It’s so very, very, deeply, fucking bleak. I can’t sleep at night, because I see this clear as day, I feel like a jew in 1938’s Berlin, only unlike that guy I can’t get out, because this is global. There is literally nowhere to run.
Either society is going to crash and burn, or we will see global war, which will crash and burn society.
There is no escape, the writing is on the fucking wall.
The people who literally own this planet have investigated the people who literally own this planet and found that they literally own this planet and what the FUCK are you going to do about it, bacteria of the planet?
^
They will probably just merge into another mega-golem controlled by one of the seven people who own the planet.
I am holding my breath! Will they walk free, or get a $10 million fine and then keep doing what every other thieving, embezzling, looting, polluting, swindling, corrupting, tax evading mega-corporation have been doing for a century!
In other words, Israel was fully prepared to murder its own citizens.
100%
What gets me every time is how people who team up with fascists think they aren’t going to turn on them too. It was always about the 0.01%, nobody else. And it seems they are winning.
You will never be able to convince me that it wasn’t Putin who orchestrated this attack through Iranian and Middle Eastern terror intermediaries to shift the focus away from Ukraine.
They have. They did. We’re done.
I got a fun little thing here in my hand that is quite appealing.
They are halfway done. In five months.
Stop lying to yourselves, the only way democracy survives this is with coordinated violent resistance. In any case, the USA is toast, it’s gone.
They have been coordinating a systematic dismantling of and eventual destruction of democracy and civil society for the better part of a century now. The republicans are the fucking antichrist.
It’s so god damned bleak, and this is the endgame. Starve the beast, the southern strategy, the voter suppression and gerrymandering, the union busting, judicial capture, regulatory capture, the lobbying, the ceaseless propaganda machine, the economic sabotage, the normalization of authoritarianism, the rolling back of civil rights, the educational manipulation…
Here’s the Project 2025 tracker. They are HALF WAY DONE. In five months. It’s fucking done, we’re done, democracy is gone, there will be no more free and fair elections, they have us by the balls in a vice, and they will never let go.
That’s not the same, in OP’s case it’s about the store outsourcing the work onto the customer while cutting labor costs so some rich fuck can get slightly richer, while not littering is a matter of basic social responsibility, not a labor situation.
Look, I don’t know where you live, your standards, or your money situation, so it’s a tricky ask. For me I drink the cheapest shit because I drink a lot of it, but I recently went to Laos, and they had a beer, like basically the only beer they have, called Beerlao, which is partly made with rice, and it’s fucking FANTASTIC.
If you can find that shit on the shelves, try it out. Though tariffs just hit Laos exports with 50% so, my advice stands- buy the cheapest shit possible and drink a lot of it because what is about to unfold in the world will require you to be drunk or dead to endure it.
Well then I have some very good news to you about your future.
That’s not the same, in OP’s case you’re doing the business’s job for free so some rich fuck can get richer by fucking over both the workers and the customers, while in the other case not littering is basic social responsibility, not labor substitution.
Reminds me of this Bill Burr clip.
"You know what I hate about these corporate chains? You go in there you’re paying for a business, they make you like do half the job now. I don’t get it. Like I walk in there,
- Hey, lemme get a turkey sandwich. Lettuce, tomato, on rye, with mayonnaise.
The guy behind the counter’s like,
- All right, turkey sandwich, lettuce, tomato, on rye.
- And mayonnaise.
- Oh, the mayonnaise is, uuh, right over there.
- Really? Why don’t you, UUH, fucking GO OVER THERE and, UUH, put it on my sandwich?"
(Yeah I just wrote that out. Why? Fuck you I don’t have to explain myself to you.)
The point is that we are being asked as paying customers to perform work which previously employed people to do it for us, strictly out of a profit motive for the store.
They are destroying jobs by shifting the workload onto the customer, so that some chain cunt can marginally increase their already immense wealth while fucking over the workers and the customers.
I don’t enter a store without coming out with beer, an item that needs to be age verified by a cashier. I always have to stand around waiting for one of them to leave the cash register and come over and clear it.
Pisses me off.
Give me my god damned beer so nobody gets hurt.
Society is in a “wealth concentration” spiral.
Blocky and blue.
I wish god did this.
