I was just wondering since you have made such a huge deal about a comment I made that really doesn’t effect your life really at all or even matter in the slightest. Seems like wasted energy. But for some reason, you just keep digging in like you are trying to make some kind of point that also doesn’t matter in the slightest. The fact that me sharing my opinion has caused you to get so offended that you won’t drop it tells me that you migrated here from Reddit since this is how a lot of Redditors behave when someone replies to their comment. But, again, it doesn’t matter and it is a waste of my energy to continue engaging with you over nonsense. I have better things to do. If you want to argue over nothing, go back to Reddit. They will embrace you with open arms.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Cool. Ok.

Did you come from Reddit? Just curious.

That’s crazy. Wtf. I thought it was just coincidental at first. I guess he cleaned house of all the non-believers.

🤦‍♀️omg

You said you didn’t understand why people use Twitter, mastodon, or bluesky. I explained why I, and a bunch of others, use bluesky and why Twitter sucks. Is that ok?

Really? You got booted off of X during the election too?

I joined bluesky a year ago to check it out. There wasn’t much happening on it at the time, so I got bored of it real quick. It was like the original version of Twitter. The day after the election, I got on X to see what kind of shit show was going on there, but my account was permanently suspended. I was just on there the day before the election with no problem. I rarely posted anything on it, but I have made some left leaning posts in the past. Like, 2 years in the past. Kinda weird to suspend my account right after the election. Whatever, I was never a big X user. So, I opened bluesky to see if it improved at all, and holy shit, it’s bopping. It’s still like old Twitter. It’s open source, no ads at all, and they make it really convenient to find accounts to follow with “starter packs”. I gotta say, I love it. There are almost no fake accounts or bots. They get weeded out pretty quick. That’s become my new Twitter, and Lemmy is my Reddit.

Both are great. Why not at the same time?

Ween, Dead Milkmen, Gwar, Nomeansno, Hansen Brothers, Pink n Brown, Jesus Lizard, Moistboyz, Stormtroopers of Death.

Probably weirder

This is the way

I got one of those too!

You are so full of shit. Why do transphobes always insist transitioning is forced?

What about when trans people are forced to not transition? Suicide rates go up.

What happened to me when I was forced to conform to a cis gender role for 40 years? Denial, suicidal thoughts, drug addiction, and alcoholism. After I started hormone therapy, I completely lost all interest in drugs and alcohol, and I no longer consider suicide. I’m happy and I want to take care of myself. I became a productive member of society.

There are about 1.5 million transgender people living in the US. 1% regret their decision and detransition. That is 15,000 people. And 0% of them were “pressured” into transitioning.

That is complete bullshit and you know it. What’s your source? Prove it or it didn’t happen.

Except that since our world is not infinite, capitalism will be the end of it. Corporate control and ownership of the country is what needs to end. Trickle down economics are a lie that just sucks the wealth out of our economy and puts it in the pockets of the wealthy elite. Because of this, our children will suffer the consequences for the rest of their lives, and their kids, and their kids, until there are no more natural resources, no more middle class, and no more breathable oxygen.

The only way to stop it is by taxing corporations at least 70% and shifting the control of these corporations to the state, completely outlaw all religious influence in politics, and redistribute the wealth back into the economy with monthly stimulus checks to all adult citizens. The taxes on corporations would be more than enough to pay for universal Healthcare, food for the poor, housing for the homeless, and free education.

So, either we need a modernized version of communism with protections in place for the populous, or we continue with capitalism and increase funding to social programs. That will never happen under our current system, so we are doomed.

Pointing fingers is a necessary step in identifying the problem, and the problem is the system itself and the people who run it. You can’t have infinite growth in a finite system. It’s not logical, let alone possible. And since we are living in a patriarchy, yeah, I’m pointing fingers. It’s not men individually that are the problem. They are subject to the same stereotypical gender roles as women. It’s the archaic idea that men have to be the bread winners and protectors while the women stay home and pop out kids. It’s great for the economy after all.

The American Dream died when Reagan was elected, but for some reason, it’s still dangled like a carrot. The patriarchal society started when organized religion became a thing. The big 3 religions are patriarchal by nature. It’s written in doctrine. They have a lot of influence in politics. Christianity specifically. God said, “take of the earth. Go forth and multiply.” See? Capitalism is written into the very foundational teachings Christianity, a patriarchal religion, with more than their fair share of political influence. It’s too much stress for the human psyche to handle, and now there is a nation of people struggling to live up to standards that are complete nonsensical fairy tales. Not a good thing for mental health.

Patriarchal Capitalism had its run. Now the world is burning and flooding at the same time. It’s a failed system.

Pretty much every problem we have in modern society stems from patriarchy and capitalism. It is the wrong tool for the job. Hang on… let me hammer in this screw real quick. It might damage the porch I’m building, but it’ll work I guess.

Squatters Symbol

I do this more often than I’d like to admit.

🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol
