#the government hates poor people

You know that feeling when you find a punk song and are like "this was made in the 80's?"

It aged so well (nice)

It aged so well :( (fuck)

Shout out to all the non-Americans (particularly the Europeans) who pre-election were just going on and on about how they watch the election like “reality tv” and how “it was just so entertaining” but are now posting shit like “if any of my American mutual want to talk, my dms are open🥹” go fuck yourself actually

[pickapea]

my absolutely biggest online pet peeve is US centric people projecting their rich sorority girl bully stereotype of nurses onto everyone else, as if nurses aren't working class and mostly immigrants of colour everywhere else. and when did it become cool to hate on underpaid and exploited workers anyway

[chaoszgod]

literally begging people to take 5 minutes to learn about the american military industrial complex, the poor/poverty to military pipeline, and how the american military treats its soldiers before condemning every single veteran because you think "muhmuh all soldiers evil!!1!!!1!1!11".

man. one day i'd love to write a thesis on how benfica was not, contrary to popular belief, a "estado novo club" (quite the opposite actually)

[sesshomarou]

i have a sickening feeling that once israel ceases to be politically beneficial to western countries the governments will try to use it as a way to once again scapegoat Jewish people

Mike johnson has so god damn much blood on his hands, obviously Ukrainian blood, but also plenty of American blood

Refusing to renew something that helps vets exposed to atomic blast and Americans who were downwind of the fall out... it's just sick. I can't fucking stand mike johnson, he's one of the worst scum to ever be in congress, and that's fucking saying something

"Johnson refused to allow House members to vote on bipartisan legislation to renew and improve the program"

Fucking quivering little pimple seems to have a real MO for just wringing his hands while insisting it's not his fault, he just can't do the one fucking part of his job of putting shit up to a vote... oh boo hoo, so sad, he'll just have to unilaterally let funding expire on things instead of literally just putting it up to our elected representatives to see if they want to vote yay or nay

Single handedly make the choices but it's not his fault when they work out how they do

Murderer

If you’re currently ONLY posting about the Israelis that are doing good things for Palestine/are against what their country is doing and pointing out when certain protestors that are not affiliated with the whole of the free Palestine movement are being antisemitic know I can fucking see you. Obviously these are important things to talk about as Israel does not equal all Jews and antisemitism should be called out every time because it’s fucking serious and disgusting that another entire group of people is being blamed for this genocide other than the colonists in charge and Zionists supporting it but you’re telling on yourself as only interested in covering your own ass and it’s embarrassing. I don’t know how you can see hundreds if not thousands of entire bloodlines being wiped from this earth and instantly think well um hashtag not all Israelis and that’s it. Again. I don’t blame the majority of the Israeli people for what’s happening I blame the governments tied up in this and those in the military who happily post bragging about the shit they stole and destroyed on tiktok. You may not have technically done anything pro Israel but like I said you’re obviously only interested in covering your ass and continuing to be seen as a good person without engaging with the absolute horror the apartheid state of Israel is carrying out and checking your pre existing beliefs.

Feeling really bad about the US tonight friends. Between dealing with the healthcare system and our continued baffling support for ongoing genocide, I feel so deeply hopeless and angry toward this country.

[fauvester]

one bias that I will truly deeply never 'get over' is that I fucking hate libertarians. moral cowards of the highest degree

[xamaxenta]

Stresses me out alot that i cant physically bind anymore idk what happened in the last few years but any kind of compression hurts and it sucks it was the only thing i could do now i cant even do that

[arctic-hands]

Let's play a thought game where I don't have food allergies, lactose intolerancy, and celiac:

How the fuck is anyone expected to survive on a food budget of like one hundred and fifty dollars a month when 8 items, none of which are meat or eggs even and the only "specialty" food is oat milk, costs sixty-five dollars?

[rainbowgod666]

And for some reason, *THIS* is deemed ok by the us

[quasi-normalcy]

It's actually really frightening to see officially sanctioned genocide denial rise up in Western countries in real time. Like, I remember 20 years ago hearing about how it was illegal in Turkey to point out that the Armenian Genocide happened, and how I thought that that was fucking evil and oppressive. Now here we are, with a campaign in Gaza that experts have called 'a textbook case of genocide', for which the UN Human Rights counsel has determined there are "reasonable grounds" to call it genocide, and the US Congress is trying to make it illegal to criticize Israel. We have Hollywood agencies refusing to represent anyone who points out that a genocide is currently taking place. And it's just the same shit from a fresh asshole as we got from the Turkish government over what happened in Armenia in the 1920s, like "Oh yes, there were killings, but...calling it genocide? Ohhhh, you must be very hateful to our poor little nation to think that our people are capable of that 😢 😭!" Fuck off.

Look, I think it's part of the problem that we idolize politicians and be 'fans' of them (they're a job candidate, nothing more, nothing less) but does my neighbour and his cohort Realise how batshit they sound when they say shit like Starmer being as bad as Trump just because of the Suits!!! The Suits!!!

And this is how you know the only news outlet somebody reads is the daily fucking mail 👀

[cornyonmains]

I am having so much fun watching rich people realize that half of our country's fighting age population hates their fucking guts. Guess it's hard to see people getting pushed too far from an ivory tower.

The people claiming to be horrified by the violence are not to be taken seriously, because they were happy as clams to keep letting Brian Thompson drop bodies. They don't actually give a shit that someone died, they're just worried the poors might get healthcare.

If they actually cared about people dying, they wouldn't be demonizing Luigi. He killed one of the biggest mass murders in the country and that's the gospel fucking truth. Just because our government made that shit legal does not change the reality that Brian Thompson was a serial killer, and so is every health insurance CEO.
