Fascism is everywhere now

Okay I admit it, I fell for the Democrats' bullshit again. Now Biden still hasn't freed any of the people in Trump's concentration camps and is still using Trump era immigration policies. Ultimate proof that the Dems are just as fascist as the GOP, they just let the GOP do all the heavy lifting.

I have decided I no longer care what others say, the only way I'm voting Democrat again is if Bernie runs as a Democrat. If the choices are between the GOP flavor of fascism and the Democrat flavor of fascism, I'm voting third party. Anyone who tries to blame me for costing their side the win can go chug a gallon of rancid tuna salad that's been sitting in the summer sun for a week first.

Afghanistan

About the whole Afghanistan thing. I'm glad we left. We never should have been there to begin with. Of course the guy who's in charge there now is a total piece of work, but he's the result of decades of the US deliberately trying to radicalize them. At first it was to give the USSR an enemy to fight, then it was to have an excuse to invade them. The campaign goes back at least to Regan and has never let up. There was even an article about how the US was sending school books to Afghani students, books that were designed to radicalize them. When I find it again I'll link to it here.

Basically, militant Islamic terrorism was invented wholesale by the US to fight communism, and it came back to bite us in the ass. (Which is an open secret now.) When it did, the government decided to profit off it. (Halliburton, wars over oil, etc.) Which is why it's taken so bloody long for us to pull out of Afghanistan. They only stopped when it was no longer profiting them to stay.

So don't let the Republicans pin this mess on Biden. They're the ones who started it way back in Reagan's era, made it worse in both Bush eras. Also the guy in charge in Afghanistan now was freed from prison by Trump. Biden is a fascist as well (he hasn't freed the concentration camp prisoners and is still using Trump era immigration policies among other crimes) but this mess isn't in any way shape or form his mess.

Veganism and abuse

It should be considered animal abuse to feed a vegan diet to a carnivorous animal, and illegal for vegans to own carnivorous pets. Too much temptation for them to abuse the animals by feeding them a vegan diet.

Oh, also: forcing a vegan diet on human children should legally be considered child abuse. Human beings are obligate omnivores, there are a bunch of nutrients we can only get from meat or other animal products (and some we can only get from veggies). If you want to abuse your own body that way, that's your prerogative; your body, your decisions about what to do with it. But leave innocent kids and pets out of it.

Contradiction of terms

Every war we've fought since after the end of WW2 has been either to fight communism or for profit. Which is really absurd because there hasn't been a single truly communist country in the entire history of the world. Every country that has claimed to be communist has been abusing Marx's philosophies to found fascist governments masquerading as communist countries. It hasn't been a very convincing ruse, either, for anyone who knows anything at all about actual communism. People who actually know what communism is know that communism and authoritarianism are diametrically opposed. Calling an authoritarian country like China "communist" is like claiming people engaging in genocide are with the peace corps.

"Authoritarian communism." Ha! What a contradiction of terms. Might as well talk about "fucking for virginity" or "violent pacifists."

Fuck tiny houses.

So, on an FB post with this link: 'Families come here to grieve': Pleas grow for Portland officials to address homeless camp outside cemetery', so I made the following comment:

Maybe if the city didn't uproot them every time they find somewhere out of the way to settle down, they wouldn't have to settle in places like this.

You know what would be cheaper in the long run than continually uprooting these people's lives and destroying what few belongings they have would be? GIVING THEM HOMES TO LIVE IN

Resulting in the following exchange:

Some numbskull: I agree, they made a very small number of tiny homes and those few were well received and the people who got them are doing much better. This needs to be done on a much larger scale.

Me: Tiny homes just contribute to the problem, while making liberals feel like they're helping when they aren't. Nobody sane wants to live in a box the size of a garden shed, especially not one that can be stolen because it's on wheels. And that's just for starters. The whole "tiny house" movement is just another case of liberals pretending they're helping to assuage their own guilt while getting to also not do anything actually helpful.

Honestly, between conservatives and liberals, at least conservatives don't even pretend that they don't care. Makes me glad to be a leftist.

Me: Heck, I live in an apartment big enough to hold two or three tiny houses in it, and I feel cramped in such a small space. I can't even begin to fathom how liberals can think homeless people want to live in a wooden box the size of my bedroom. Might as well staple two coffins together and call it a tiny house.

Me: "Today on Pretending To Help, we're going to build a tiny house from a coffin so that this homeless man has somewhere to sleep. And when he dies from hunger and depression from living in a literal box, the government can just nail the lid to the house and bury him at no extra cost to the government!"

Me: I mean honestly we consider mobile homes to be such trashy poverty life that everyone knows it sucks to live in one, and they're like two or three times the size of these idiotic "tiny houses."

Granted, no reply yet. Will keep y'all updated though.

Boot to the head

Purely hypothetical, because I haven't the skills for it nor the patience to learn said skills, but if I had the skills to be a hacker, I would use those skills to boot certain people from the Internet. Anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, Nazis, racists, other bigots, a whole lot of Republicans, and others. When found, I would lock their social media accounts down so hard they'd never be able to reclaim the accounts, do the same to their email accounts, remotely control their computer and install something on it to basically turn the computer into an expensive paperweight, cancel their cable and Internet service, cancel their phone service, and then send copies of their most vile posts to their employers to get them fired. Oh, and if they were especially heinous, I'd doxx them on 4chan and elsewhere.

And if they managed somehow to recover their accounts, I'd hack into their government records and get them declared legally dead. That would be a hell of a mess for them to try to get corrected!

(Sigh) That'd be so cool. Alas...
