4 years ago when the dumbfuck (biden) won, i was a first year university student, nodding along solemnly when my family briefly discussed foreign and internal politics over our tea, pleased to be finally old enough to somewhat contribute to adult conversations.
i still clearly remember my aunt saying "well, he isnt any better [than his predecessor] but at least he cant be worse". the conversation moved on from there, but my thoughts lingered. i didnt know if i wanted to be a cynic or an optimist, so i drank my tea in silence.
--
this past year has been one of the darkest in our human history, the scale of death and destruction and pure unadulterated depravity is unmatched. it will truly be long before the world can hope to recover from the atrocious damage that has been dealt, if it ever does.
i wont go into details mainly because i havent the time nor interest in doing so, but the world to no ones surprise is changing, fast and taking a turn for the worse. it has been for years perhaps even decades now. in the grand scheme of things i mean.
for many of us this is nothing new per se, merely a tangible extension of our worst nightmares and fears, but for many others its a reign of terror of the most potent kind. one that will herald further losses, but this time around very few will be spared.
--
despite myself i did think that common sense would prevail and wed see the the fucker (trump) behind bars and hopefully dead and not- as of writing- about to win another 4 wretched years in office.
theres a sort of grim satisfaction seeing the bitch (harris) getting a big fuck you to the face, but its devastating to think that she is losing has already lost? to the biggest fuck you to the planet. i truly dont want to imagine what the world is going to look like 4 years from now. if there is anything left of the world to look at.
--
there isnt much to say or add i think. nothing i can contribute at least for the time being. i would however like to point to what jon stewart bless his soul has to say about the matter
youtube
esp at 02:15
sounds hypocritical to say after having said nothing but the worst, but i mean it when i believe that this isnt the end. to give up now is to doom ourselves and the rest of the world (and perhaps the trajectory of humanity itself, whos to say) into eternal darkness.
ive said it many a time on this blog before and ill continue to say it for as long as there is life in me; power will always be with the people. weve seen it time and time again throught history and before our eyes. we are a force to be reckoned with.
we do hold the power to change the tides, look how many countries fought with everything they had for their freedom, how many times we arose from the ruins and started building anew and with just as much fervour, how much damage we can do to the institutions that dare to transgress.
war brings out the worst in some but the best in others. this is a war, one the corrupt wage on the sanctity of our lives and human rights, one were all on the front lines of, for ourselves and those around us.
--
as cliche as it is, and i admit to it being so, our chances honestly are better when we move and act as one. dont be fooled into thinking our differences will seperate us; those in power follow the age old rule of divide and conquer & thrive when we are scattered and lost.
show them that our spirit is one and whole, prove to them that we wont give into their unjust demands. look out for one another and dont hesitate to come to each others aid. be kind to yourselves.
humanity as a whole literally and metaphorically depends on it.
Godbless & Godspeed

k you asked for unpopular f1 opinions and idk if this even counts but i Do Not Like lando norris. i actively dislike him, actually. couldn't really tell you why, he's just really annoying. and that move with the fist pump during max's anthem at the canadian gp? not fucking cool. i also hate when people say shit like "omg he's so public school core" or "idk he just feels more authentic than the rest of them (drivers)" because most people didn't know he had money growing up. his dad is like a fucking billionaire (millionaire?) CEO like shut up. i just feel like he can't possibly be as nice as people think. also his win in miami had distinctly Weird Vibes. not necessarily bad, just Wrong. should not have happened. also that thing where he said "trump is someone you gotta have a lot of respect for" like no??? he's not??? he's a conservative right wing politician who was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money case. he's a white-collar criminal (the worst kind). he deserves no respect. shut up. it would be better to just not say anything at all. yeah.
I have had SO MANY asks on lando, but i shall keep responding😤.
No1. All the shit Lando has done. Ugh, dont even get me started on it, im just gonna link my old post bc im so done talking abt it.
No2. I don't hate lando, I'm not a lando 'hater', bc I feel like you can't really hate a person you have never met and don't know on a personal level. However, I do feel very strongly abt some of his actions, and I do think he should take accountability for shit he's done. Personally, I just don't like him that much, and so I stay away from his content and fans. If I see smthng funny he's done or see content abt him that I enjoy then I laugh and appreciate it, but recently he's just been irritating towards my beliefs and values, so I'm keeping my distance.
No3. I just wanna say, very gently, even if you dislike a driver, you shouldn't discredit their wins/ accomplishments bc in the end thats smthng they've earned, and it's literally their job, like for me, when I saw miami, I thought "good for him" and moved on. I did get really pissed abt his comments on trump tho, man really went and stained his first race win with all that shit.
No4. Ur point on the way ppl say, 'he's more authentic than the rest of the drivers'. Honestly, I've seen so many ppl have this opinion, and all I'm gonna say is: Every driver has a different pr strategy. Lando's whole strategy is being perceived as 'relateable' and 'quirky', and, by the looks of it, it's working really well. Obv we – as fans – will never know if he's genuinely like this in person or if it is just fully pr (same with all the other drivers), but from what's provided to us we're all free to make our own assumptions :]
I just feel like he can't possibly as nice as people think
I think, nonnie (and this is meant in the kindest way possible), assumptions like these are smthng we should avoid making. You don't know lando, and I don't know lando, so really we'll never know if he's truly as nice or not, and we shouldn't say stuff like this about ppl who've never actually done anything to be precieved that way. Like yes, we can talk abt how lando is ignorant and the type to either: 1. Not think bfr he speaks/ does smthng or 2. Has really bad political views and questionable morals (and if this option is fully confirmed, i will become a full hater, doesn't matter if hes nice or not). But what has he ever done that shows us he's not kind/ nice to his fans?

re: the voting stuff
you are so right. i see so many younger ppl talking abt how we shouldnt vote for biden but they never seem to actually know any of the stuff hes gotten done, only the stuff he hasnt done. but they also dont seem to know that for some of those things he tried and was prevented or theyre still a work in progress. its like they think he can just magically do things overnight? idk it really just seems like they get their info from a few slides on an instagram post or from a random tiktok and never bother to actually do any research of their own yk?
and like i told someone i plan to vote for Biden bc im worried about what a republican president would turn america into and they got mad at me saying that i care more about myself than Palestine and other countries. but like a) how tf would a republican president be better about whats happening? and b) im allowed to care about my own life? and if our country is in hell how are we supposed to help anyone else? its like on airplanes, you have to put your mask on before helping others because otherwise you wont be able to help anyone
its just making me feel crazy
Honestly it's so annoying when people use the Palestine issue because yes he's not making responsible decisions about it, and yes we should call bim out for it and yes we should keep pressuring him but had a republican been in office the response would be worse and more violent OR absolutely ignore it completely in favour of human trafficking Mexican people in our own country which is what Trump wants.
So like do we pick the kill your grandma, kill anyone not white and rich and a man, and allow child labor party or the get a lot of good done and fuck up a few things party?
There is no "Oh don't vote" there is only "you vote because not voting allows trump to win"

i know i shouldnt be all doom and gloom, but like... im hearing the election preview results and im dissappointed. i was once in a vc with a few people 2 months ago and like. the topic turned to the election. and yknow what i heard from my friends? "im too scared to vote" and "i dont care" (i think both of them are able to vote). about the fear, if blue doesnt win, YOURE FUCKED UNLESS SOME MIRACLE HAPPENS AND JD AND TRUMP DIE. and about the i dont care. really? you, an intersex person, doesnt care about if someone who hates intersex (and non-cis in general) people win? someone who WILL attempt to erase you? like. really? at least with harris and biden you have a better chance of bullying them into making better laws! they havent declared theyll make a dictatorship if they win!
i know im a european whose only source is tumblr, but christ. i know some of you will hate me for this but... it needs to be said. the cowards and the careless are letting red win. and it upsets me. and it even isnt my country. i know im getting political but... its for the sake of my friends. my friends, who dont fit into the cishet white family image which trump wants to push on everyone.
UPDATE: well turns out some people cant take responsibility for their actions (even if me vagueposting isnt the right way to go about it). and people will blindly listen. if anyone who blocked me does see this however: YOU CANT LIVE IN YOUR BUBBLE FOREVER. YOULL NEED TO ACT OR YOUR BUBBLE WILL BE POPPED.
UPDATE AGAIN: Apparently the people I was referring to can't vote. I won't delete anything I've said because, y'know, can't exactly go back, but I will leave this here.
UPDATE x3: wellll turns out the reasons? fake excuses for one of em (the other i honestly cant check because it involves personal details). if you know who im talking about, please block him. and also any of hìs friends because they cant think for themselves. if you want names/tags for blocking reasons i can dm them, but please for the love of god do not harrass them.

Im really pissed about all those “‘We can still be friends-‘ no the fuck we can’t” posts because on the very clear and obvious hand, Trump is a fascist and anyone who understands economics, checks and balances and international relationships know that he’ll be a disaster.
But, at the same time, the past few months of honestly celebrating that the Harris campaign did after the first few weeks and especially after the debate (Im just as guilty of it - i was predicting a clear Harris landslide, i had her winning fucking Texas) but we need to do an autopsy of the Harris campaign. I want to preface this by saying it isnt a dealbreaker for me - in spite of the many deficits I think the Harris-Walz ticket - because I voted for her. I knocked on doors for her. But clearly, for a lot of people, dealbreakers that shouldn’t and easily couldn’t have been there were, and if we don’t acknowledge that, we’re never going to win.
So here is my critique of Kamala’s campaign, from the left.
The biggest complaint would be the lack of drilling in on hard issues. We are having a crisis of living in this country, and the primary message of the Harris campaign was “Hey, we’re on the road to recovery and it’s just gonna get better!” So make it a major part of your campaign you want to control prices, rent, etc. As terrible and blatantly obvious as his pr moves were, Trump at McDonalds and in front of a Grocery story was compelling to a lot of americans who are struggling to put food on their plate. A guy who’s saying, in the most fascist strong man way he can, “Only I can fix it.” And when the other guy is saying “Dont worry im working on it,” to the scared and uninformed Trump looks better - obviously any substantive reading of policy makes it clear who’s policies will be better. I Know that - but were there sound bites that could be played ad nausem of Kamala’s policies? As poor of a Businessman he is, Trump is a Salesmen, and Salesmen manipulate, lie and hoodwink people.
What was Kamala’s actual solution to the Border? I know even needing a ‘solution’ is couched in liberalism legalese but instead of a concrete campaign promise, she would rightfully say “Hey, Trump’s plan is insane and he sabotaged mine.” I know that’s true, but why not make that part of your campaign instead of allowing him to manipulate control of the situation. Did any democrat in congress try to reintroduce that bill? If so; why the hell wasn’t that blasting on Fox News and NPR? Don’t make Trump defend his past killing of the hill, make him say “are you going to support this democratic bill that your people like?” Did she say “we’re going to crackdown on losses of jobs to low-wage migrants (by giving them the same protections as American citizen workers because then it isnt just cheaper to nickel and dime the undocumented workers)” or did she just keep playing that former hit? Because while I heard “Ethnic cleansing” a lot of working class people who have lost their jobs to this labor (and dont blame the people responsible, their corporate overlords) heard “More open jobs” and that was enough for them.
Hands down, across the boars, the Democratic messaging on economics was either spotty or non existent and no matter how short sided or bigotted their choice was - Trump got more voters then Kamala in pretty much all demographics. This is not a thing where we can narrow it down to different socieo-ecconomic groups and ask why they didn’t come to the polls for Harris - we need to look at the messaging that, in some diabolical miracle, lead to a Trump victory.
Look; I’m not going to pretend to have all the answers. Honestly, we should’ve had a primary and Joe should’ve dropped out in 2023. But he didn’t, and instead with have yet another example about the Democrats schoochimg towards the middle, ignoring so many problems and allowing the dumbass to Scapegoat his enemies for a victory instead of delving to the root of our political issues - the absolute financial stranglehold the top 1%, made mostly of old white men but this is a war of Capital. And its one that most Americans have no idea they’ve been drafted into, most often on the side of Capital
Oh - and Gaza. The lack of firm answer there is immoral even if openly opposing Israel is political suicide in our current climate. Doesn’t matter, her silence is a condemnation on her - infinitely better then Trump

No one really wants to talk about election stuff much I'm sure but I do think if you're going to claim voting for one candidate over another you do you diligence and actually look at what someone's done while in office. If you're serious about your political action, feel free to read further. Keep in mind I am not American, but unfortunately the entire world is affected by American politics.
I saw a post recently saying "hey I know everyone's saying theres no difference between parties at this point but its so important you vote for the lesser evil because of workers rights and environmentalism and gaza(because the other guy is worse!)" when if they had actually looked at what the person they insist is a champion of those things has done on those fronts I think they wouldn't be saying so (though for gaza they at least dont say he is doing well on that front, thank you for that at least , bad liberal politics post).
I don't like being a downer, and I don't like the idea of spreading nihilistic hopelessness, but if you shout from the rooftops a candidate or a party is doing wonders in these areas and they actually are not, that's misinformation. That helps no one.
Honestly the way certain people get complacent when they vote in the "good" party worries me greatly. "As long as I vote in these guys, everything will be done right! I can stop worrying and stop paying attention." And then those guys are doing the exact same stuff, but with polite language on top to hide the crime of it.
"I believe in workers' rights" as you quash a rail strike that is the difference between rail safety both for employees and communities near the tracks kind of thing.
Not like there was an environmental crisis over that recently? Oh but they paid a 15 million dollar fine (a company worth 48.87 billion, so a tiny fee to continue to criminally understaff trains overwork operators, and pay them nothing).
"Its a great tragedy what is happened in Gaza" as you bypass congress to send more weapons to Isreal. And to say Trump wants to nuke Gaza? He probably has said so, he won't because Isreal wants to keep the land habitable so they can have all of it. There is no "worse" here. The guy in power already signed carte blanche for Isreal to kill every Palestinian. If we can't reach Biden on this issue, it doesn't matter we can't reach Trump. In this instance specifically, there is no difference, If you're pretending Nukes are an actual option you clearly do not understand what is happening in this situation at all. This is fucking horrible and I feel like throwing myself out a window over the fact nearly every western superpower is supporting this genocide, but to state "oh, the other guy would do genocide HARDER" there isn't harder here. The most you can argue is "he will also do the same shit". Thanks, we know (also I will continue to do all I can to help Palestinians be it protest, mutual aid funds, donation drives, and vocal unerring support because I'm sure the people perpetuating this genocide would love if people against them did throw themselves out windows).
I wish people were more honest about their motivations here. And especially more honest about the fact they have zero idea on things the party they decided are the "good ones" are actually doing. It makes me feel like someone could tell you "I'm a good person" while spitting in your face and you'd look up wondering why it's raining.
Do I want Trump to win the election? Not at all. All he does is lie and self aggrandize and do whatever the fuck makes him the most money.
The thing is Biden and his party /also/ do all they can to protect the financial interests of their lobbyist backers, often backed by billion dollar corporate interests, this has been made even more legal by SCOTUS recently.
and of course whenever SCOTUS comes up people point to how trump elected these justices doing all this, while also ignoring: Obama had a supermajority while first in office and promised to codify Roe vs Wade into law to enshrine abortion rights and did not.
Why? Well. The only way that really seems to make sense seems to be 1) they didn't really want to enshrine abortion rights or 2) they wanted to keep dangling it just out of reach so you keep voting for them. after all, if they permanently protect women's rights, how can they send you fundraising emails about how women's rights are in question?
The Supreme Court should honestly have been reformed by now anyway, but neither of the parties that rule the United States will ever address it's issues. You basically have a council of sages who take gifts from billionaires running your ultimate law deciding station of government, and no matter what you do you can't fire them. And they are now making policy decisions that say specifically "you can't do anything about us being bribed" and "The president has total immunity while in office". Yet the party in power does nothing about it,
as for that second one you could argue not taking action on rulings they think are wrong proves they are better than the opposition, but saying something is wrong while doing nothing to rectify it says something else to me. It tells me they now have a great new way to fundraise and encourage you to vote.
"Vote for us, or Trump will literally assassinate you! Don't worry I won't though! But I'm not going to do a single thing to repeal it, my hands are tied haha. You wouldn't want the other guy to have this power though? Right? Again, no, I won't do anything to stop this."
>In before a liberal democrat tells me pointing this out is as bad as a vote for trump and asking for anything from a government is treason(I'm not American so good luck bud). Because we all need to sit around and nod politely as the world collapses, after all if people saw the corruption they might (gasp!) not vote! and then the same shit would happen faster.
Though, tbh, and I feel like shit saying this, at least if it was happening under the Republicans you would actually be paying attention and maybe the Democrats would actually be pushing back to at least look like they give a fuck (ineffectually, but it would be cool if you could point to a thing they've done in office effectually to contrast any of this other than say the right words. Actions actually matter).
I don't want things to come to that but as the public stands around doing nothing in the face of these abuses of power, war crimes, and dissolution of worker' rights and the party in power only campaigns off fear and does no positive things to gain votes... what other outcome will there be?
... and even if they did say they were going to do something good now... how could we believe it would actually happen?

Anon providing context with state ballots again. Frankly, I do not consider voting to be a “moral” thing so much as I consider it to be a pragmatic thing. Biden is absolutely horrific on Palestine and I wrote in “uncommitted” during the primary as a protest myself because of it. However, I am someone who both believes that the tiny degrees of less bad do definitely matter and based on Trump’s comments (including comments he made where he advocated for nuking Gaza) I am confident that he would be significantly worse if you can imagine it. Biden is also markedly better on labor, social policies, and the environment and as a working class millennial lesbian who will have to live on this planet for several more decades that is very significant to me. However, I think the most important thing I can say regarding this election is that I can not in good conscience drop out of the political system entirely because one of those guys is going to be in office come January unless the revolution comes before then and… honestly all of the people who are big talk about that are huge larpers so I absolutely have my doubts here. May as well be the marginally less bad one who doesn’t have explicit dictatorial aspirations.
hmm yeah i just dont know if i think theyre any different. theres some areas where i do think there may be a difference like perhaps if trump came back into power then he might outlaw gay marriage for example but i havent seen evidence of biden being better with social policies or on labour or women's rights or most things rly and i find trump's talk and biden's actions irt israel/palestine to be equally disturbing & therefore i find it hard to argue one would be significantly worse in that regard. ill repeat again bc i dont want this to be misconstrued that ultimately i am powerless to who americans vote for and what they choose to do about their country's corrupt system but i do find the american mindset around it to be disturbing especially how every election theres this pressuring of people to choose between two awful choices bc otherwise theyre ~throwing away their vote~ or ~helping [presumed worse choice] win~ and thus discouraging anything that does not further enable this system. like when people were writing in the "uncommitted" thing during the primaries there were already people arguing that u have to choose biden there bc otherwise ur giving ur vote to trump. and after seeing this cycle repeat over and over again for as long as ive been old enough to understand US politics at least to a decent enough degree (which isnt that long), it just feels exhausting as an onlooker seeing the only people who actually CAN do sth about their govt throw their hands up and say they cant do anything.

honestly i dont see another way around it, trump is going to win in 2024 and america will become even more of a fascist state than it already is. this isn't a post yammering at people to vote for biden, not at all, just an observation. i don't think biden will have enough support to win anyway because of how much other shit he's done the past two years. and i don't want him to succeed either. but i'm absolutely sure that we all need to be preparing ourselves for the inevitable come 2024, because i don't see a socialist revolution happening in the meantime. the far right has been mobilizing, they know what they're doing. biden is a horrible person who has committed atrocious war crimes, but i hate to say it, he's just another in the long line of us presidents that has wreaked havoc and killed thousands in the global south, a line of presidents who at least pretend they have respect for democracy. trump doesn't, and his lack of playing the game will take him and his ilk farther into unmasked fascism. i think people who are feeling fatigue over the "go vote" thing (rightfully so) need to be aware of that. if you're not gonna vote, that's fine, this post isn't about that, but you do need to be ready for what the trump administration will do because it's not just gonna be the same shit as the past six years, jan 6 was only a precursor

grrrrr
jesus god lordt help me
istg …. i was recently at a small party for one of my elders who just turned 82! and it was a nice time and everything (yes, we were all masked up & vaxxed up), and somehow - pls don’t ask me how - the subject of cleaning your ears came up (im almost 40 and i was one of the youngest people there, so the conversations are what they were)
anyway, all of my elders strongly believe in cleaning your ears by inserting a q-tip and violently digging around
WHICH IS FUCKING NUTS TO ME
and inevitably my elders end up spouting some old debunked advertising campaign made specifically to sell q-tips, and whenever i point this out, they fall back on “old skool” remedies that us young folk dont know nothing about
and internally im fucking screaming, “do you think maybe the fact that your hearing is falling off so precipitously has ANYTHING to do with the fact that youve spent decades digging around in your eardrum like its a fucking goldmine?? maybe? perhaps???”
sn: i honestly believe its mostly a black thing
but yeah, silly me
one thing i learned a while back is, 1) emotions and nostalgia will almost always trump being right, and 2) it is not your job to embarrass or beat someone down by smugly telling them theyre dumb and stupid
in the grand scheme of things, this is small. its maybe a 2 on a scale of 10. inconsequential
but my constant lesson im learning and re-learning is that sometimes its more important to let others come to their own decisions about things, and always always always be willing to accept that they might never come around
if they are someone you love, you wont belittle them. not even when youre right and theyre wrong. no matter how annoyed you might be. being “right” isnt always the most important thing. it just isnt. not always
and being right doesnt always win arguments and it doesnt always change peoples minds and opinions
if the person is someone you care about, what might change their mind is not mocking or belittling them, and just being there for them even when theyre not quite correct on the little things in life

Hi, i hope you dont mind me asking but..
What exactly is going on in America? A few of the blogs i follow (including you) has mentioned about it and im honestly curious. From what i got from a quick google, that man has been elected again (which honestly makes me bitter, doesnt help that my IRL friend is a supporter of him) but i dont think that’s the whole reason for everyone being upset. So again, if you dont mind me asking, what’s the whole story?
If you dont feel comfortable replying, that’s fine. This is your blog and i never want to do anything to ruin it. Just delete this ask and we can forget about it. I’ll probably try to find out more through more googling but.. idk which will be true or fake. We’ll see tbh (this is also why im making this ask, i trust you and i know you wont lie about stuff like this)
I normally dont care about polictics. They make me feel uncomfortable with the blatant corruption that exists. I live in Asia where people more or less trust the goverment, so with that man being elected, i feel this might bring a huge change and not a good one. So i feel this is something i should brace myself for whatever is gonna happened
Again, if you dont feel comfortable, delete this ask. Do not feel pressured to answer this if you do not feel comfortable. I hope you have a good day/night and take care

Hello there Flower Anon!!
Don't worry, I don't mind your ask, as this is an important topic for everyone, not only Americans. But the main issue is definitely trumps reelection, which comes with a ton of problems. I'd definitely go through the US election tag on tumblr for more info, but the main issue is women losing many of their rights, including a ton of economic issues that Trump is clearly going to make worse.
It's very complicated, and I definitely understand the fear of fake news, but in general, America's problem definitely is currently Trump being back. This will, however, also affect us all one way or another due to America's strong influence globally and in the NATO, so only time will tell how bad it's going to be...
The rise of right-wing media and, in general, people is also highly concerning. Trump's win will be a spark of motivation for them, and so the terror is very much justified. With that said, if I may give my opinion on this, I'd suggest dropping your friend if they acknowledge all of these issues yet don't care.
I'm glad you're interested in the topic, though, and as said before, I'd suggest looking at what Americans have to say on this topic, especially regarding abortion and LGBTQ+ rights in the nation that are at threat.
As mentioned before, I strongly avoid politics on this blog, as my blog is for my writing only, nothing else. But since this is extremely concerning in general for all of us, I don't mind your ask at all!
Thank you for your ask, and I hope I could somewhat help you understand the ongoing issue!<3

So I just wanna say orange man is falling out of the news despite surely hogging the limelight at the RNC as a Van Gogh cosplayer, and Im actually kinda terrified to see what hes gonna do next. Dont get me wrong, Biden dropping out is only good for dems since basically everyone knows he's a limp noodle, and honestly this decision makes me respect him at least a little bit, but what is Trump gonna do to get attention now? We had literally Y2K one-up his entire week, and he's known to incite insurrections for attention.
My money's on making every sexist comment he can to disparage his new rival, getting Musk to announce something stupid like "if Trump wins I'll do the fortnite dance on the moon", and probably a SCOTUS judge randomly vacating or dying.

honestly i wanna give a big fuck you to all the queer people i know htat keep making jokes htat "trump is gonna win in 2024" and whatnot. I am TIRED of hearing it. I know it's looking that way and y'all can feel some comfort (??? what the fuck do y'all even get out of it) in making those jokes but as a trans person with basically nothing to their name i am fucking horrified. if he comes to power, it's fucking over for me. the pipeline to losing hormones and literally everything is very real and on the horizon. y'all can still go the fuck home and live your life and have your familial support and be fucking fine. you and your fucking money and relatively loving family. but i dont have anywhere to fucking go.
keep talking like that and he'll actually win. And you can sit on your ass and be sad but i'mma be mad as hell. go vote (OR DO LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S USEFUL) and/or shut the fuck up.

hey, just read your bio in full and im confused and was wondering if i could ask you something
what exactly do you mean by "monarchist sympathizer"? i gathered that you support the monarchy but i just have a hard time wrapping my head around it, could you elaborate on why you believe in the autocracy?
im swedish, my countrys king is a figure head so he does nothing and has zero say in how the country is run and i honestly find his continued tenure as monarch to be unnecessary seeing as he doesn't actually serve as ruler. but i dont know much about it though and i'd like to hear your perspective if you're willing to share
In short, I believe it is the most effective form of government. One person at the top says, “hey, we’re going to do this like this and we’re going to do it now.” And it gets done. Now, obviously like with any government body, there can be issues like corruption, incompetency, and other rather not helpful behaviors… which sounds just like how the American government is ran right now and we’re a so called “democratic republic”.
Much like… I believe it was Plato? Or it was perhaps Aristotle, that said, essentially, the common person does not have time to be educated on the issues because we’re busy working, keeping the economy going, and do not have enough free time to devote and spend to learning about the issues and how best to solve them. So, if we aren’t educated enough on the issues at hand why are we voting on issues we haven’t really had the time to dedicate to become educated about? So, we elect people we think do have that ability and competency to be educated… but we aren’t educated… and so we get people like Marjorie Taylor Green in our congress who, honest to God, believed GIANT JEWISH SPACE LASERS caused wildfires in California. I wish I could have made that sentence up.
He also said that the qualities needed to win a popularity contest, what an election is essentially, are not the same qualities that make a good leader. So, why vote when we are really just voting based on that? It’s why people like Trump get in… somehow.
I’ve read about the Swedish monarchy a little bit, I believe it was Gustav VI Adolf that signed away the last of the monarchy’s powers right before he died… which was an unfortunate and interesting choice to say the least. His maternal grandmother was Princess Louise of Prussia, she was the daughter of the first German emperor Wilhelm I, whose own mother was Princess Louise of Mecklenberg-Strelitz, and was a woman that Napoleon himself called “the only real man in Prussia.” Due to her help trying to defend her country during the Napoleonic Wars that her husband proved vastly ineffective at doing himself. Sorry, I got sidetracked, but I don’t know much about the Swedish monarchy as much as I know whom they’re related to, in other monarchies, but I do love royal history and genealogy.
So, yes, I am a monarchist sympathizer because I believe it is the most effective form of government, and I love the pomp and ceremony of it all. I’m a bigger fan of autocracy, but I will take a constitutional form over a figurehead like Sweden’s “monarchy”.
I hope that helps explain it a little bit better for you. Thanks for the ask!

Stupid rant no one will see but... honestly i feel like 2016 is happening all over again.
All i hear about is how left leaning people are refusing to vote for biden bc of his stance on the israle-palistine genocide. And like... dont get me wrong, i am pro free palistine. I think the atrocities going on are horrible and ethnic clensing. I too am boycotting starbucks, McDonald's, disney and all the others on the list. But if you dont vote in this election you are basically voting for trump.
Trump will win. And if you think he wont support israle your crazy. He will support israle and he will lead a genocide here on american soil as well. Trans lives, womens lives, pocs lives. Those are the lives at risk if he wins. American people will die. Project 2025 will come to be and we might actually have a dictatorship on our hands.
I know it feels horrible, I know the atrocities in palistine are amoral and disgusting. But we cant do anything to change what is happening. Anyone we put in power will support israle.
All we can do right now is vote to stay alive.

The holodomor was a cyclical famine. it affected moscow alone more than the entirety of the ukrainian ssr.
there is no uyghur genocide in china. it is oppression, but it is not genocide. also most uyghur protests are either directly funded by the us or are in support of the us.
western imperialists dont purely create propaganda because of racism, that would be an idealist take, they create propaganda against DPRK because it is a successful proletarian dictatorship(socialist state in non-marxist terms)
not one marxist i know of has ever said zionism is embedded in judaism. that is just a lie. there are, however, many attempts to make it an inseparable part of the jewish identity by bourgeois imperialists
i hope genocide joe and all his lackeys are flayed alive :3
ukraine has a massive nazi problem. this is due to the fact that it is a fascist state.
again, its not just sinophobia that makes people hate china, but reactionary anticommunism.
hamas are freedom fighters. they are a nationalist organization who fight for palestinian liberation.
the us, like every other capitalist state, is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
russia is imperialist, but anti-western imperialism. we support it due to pragmatism.
china is a successful proletarian dictatorship, who is in the process of building communism. also we arent communists because “it works” or whatever the fuck. read a book. thats moralism. we are scientific.
violent revolution is the only way to establish socialism, the only way to enact proletarian interests. read state and revolution
yeah fuck “israeli” “leftists”
again, you dont understand why we dont support the us. its not because of moralism, its because it is an imperialist genocidal nation. i think youll find that you make bad critiques if you dont know what the fuck you are talking about.
stalin was a great revolutionary leader. :3 kill yourself :3
the only reason at all there is any distinction between hong kong and china is because english colonialist took control of it for a time. the pnly reason there is distinction between taiwan and china was because during a civil war, capitalists retreated to taiwan and claimed it. it is now an army base for the us.
hamas didnt rape anyone you credulous fuckhead
again with the people who think that anti biden means pro trump because of their extremely limited bourgeois worldview
western imperialists are using ukraine as a puppet
thats also being a bourgeois sell out :P
ah yes, small businesses, bwcause of the fact that they are small, means that the capitalist who owns it actually doesnt exist
yeah, no two state solution. you actually got one of our principles remotely right. good job! do you want a cookie?
dont vote because voting is useless due to it being participation in the bourgeois electoralist system. read state and revolution
i mean putin is probably liked by some russians, idk. hes most beloved by us evil pro putin russian bots tho
gaiman is an idiot and is trying to blame communism for him not winning an award. also i wish the cpc would censor him hes annoying as fuck
again with the dumbass moralist statements. ai is simply an advance in technology. you are a luddite
jesus was a palestinian jew. he was jewish and born in palestine. thats thre long and short of it.
dont make me bring out an engels quote
ukrainians are white. whiteness is a fluid social construct that changes to benefit imperialism
we arent utopians. we support china because it is socialist. kys
very reductionist of you, but honestly yeah :3
*ansar allah
it was. it was a response to the invasion of irag and imperialism
