  • Of course they do.

    Look, womens lib in the 60s was a fucking GODSEND to the owner class. Seemingly overnight the workforce doubled in size and productivity exploded! If you Google a picture of pay v productivity, wealth inequality, and size of the workforce you’ll notice that they all deviate in the late 60s early 70s; roughly 68-71.

    Basic economics, supply and demand. The supply of workers just ballooned, but the demand for it, oh no, all the owners had to do was not build that last factory that would’ve allowed full employment. Extra workers keeps wages down. Immigration keeps wages down, same unadulterated logic, irregardless of the whatever the Democrats or CNN spit at you. "it’s an overall benefit for society to have a ton of immigration…cuz it keeps wages down and all the money flowing to the top. Shut down immigration and businesses would have to compete for talent again (but we don’t have capitalists anymore, the owners would rather collude than compete. Today’s rich are aspiring techno-feudal royalty, by Divine Right of the Invisible Hand). If immigration is a net positive for “society”, if only high society; then no immigration, = money flows into calloused hands. We’re all stretched so thin already, getting parity back against capital would spur the greatest economy ever seen. 200million people with extra money after bills?



  • That’s pretty foul. I have some sympathy for the patrons if that’s the case. Nowhere that I read was cannibalism mentioned. I’d argue arresting those involved if that’s the truth. Prions are fucking deadly serious and survive outside the body, after a person dies, and until picked up by something else. And they’ll hop species too. The literal embodiment of the dark world, just pure evil anti-life. There’s a proper analogy in some video game somewhere that I’m not finding at the moment…idk. it’s like, imagine every prion is a burnt out crystal on an LCD screen. Once there’s enough out there…it’s game over.


  • I wonder how extreme the piercings were. What qualifies as extreme to the Germans…

    Long syringes into the glutamis maximus? Or syringes piercing labia? Youchie.

    Extreme like metal chopsticks thru cheeks?

    Extreme like suspending people by hooks into their backs? Cuz that’s just a Tuesday for some people.

    Or maybe running a sword between the liver and kidneys? It can be done, just thru flesh, missing the internal organs. I’d call that pretty extreme, none of which would make me nauseous tho. Degloving is the only thing that’s made my stomach physically feel like it was turning over, and if you don’t know what that is, I don’t recommend finding out.

    Politics is nothing but coordinated violence, in that it is nothing but coercion of people against their own interests. If you’re an interested party, than youre adding to the coercion of others. If you stay out of it, then it’s not political to you is it?

    Politics:violence

    Politics:economics

    Economics:violence

    Try telling people whose rent has doubled or tripled within a decade that economics isn’t violence. You’ll experience some carnal violence in return, I’m sure.

    Politics = violence; it’s the NC-17 version, violence all grown up and sophisticated. Sanitized for TV, in it for the sound bites. In fact, I’d say at least half of it is theatre alone. It’s even been packaged up for the people to play along from home. The evolution of violence, fun for the whole family. I mean, what else would we talk about come holidays? HELPING each other?!?




  • One can daydream…

    After they announcd secession DC should immediate come out and say something like

    “the North accepts upon condition that any and all who want to leave the south can freely do so, without hindrance, at the cost of the state, within the next 30days, and any and all from the north sympathetic are henceforth required to join the south in their ranks, within the next 30 days. If you choose to stay, continuing the campaigns of hate will find you deported to the other side, at the cost of total seizure of your estate. Citizenships will be repealed accordingly and people can apply for a visa if they want to visit. The national guard is working in conjunction with border patrol to secure our new borders. As I speak we have already shut down every freeway and highway, and work has already begun putting bollards in every smaller road. Barbed wire is already being set until completion of the new American DMZ. That’s right folks, we’re gonna build that wall. Anyone tries to get back in here we have to cross the minefields, robodogs, automatic sentries and Rebecca Flack music”

    NASA and the military EVAC immediately.

    The military laughed and told Texas to go fuck itself -immediately, completely unprovoked, like the secretary just couldn’t wait to live that mic and poke the hornets nest- once Roe was scuttled, that they’ll decide for themselves what rules they follow and what they consider medicine. The bases are federal land after all. If the generals happily spit in the face of their culture war nonsense, someone has got to be living in delulu to think any aspect of the military or government agencies would be left behind for the neo-confederates.








  • Renewables took off in Texas because it’s

    1. Vast
    2. Flat
    3. Hot
    4. Windy

    It’s pretty much heaven for solar and wind, both of which have no qualms building out in the middle of nowhere.

    I wonder if anyone’s going to attempt tide generators with our freshly roided up storm seasons. The whole East Coast has barrier islands that are all about to sink, so we won’t even have to go down far to anchor them.

    Windmills are taking off now in Wyoming, and I can’t believe it took them this long, loaded down freighters get blown over hourly every fucking day in Wyoming. They built their freeways with massive shoulders just to wreck on. Windmill farms are all down central and Eastern Washington, central and eastern Oregon and California. I can’t speak much to the Midwest but you can’t drive 5miles thru Iowa without seeing 100windmills. In between houses and shit. I like the spirit but goddamn, Iowa needs to chill.

    Solar is huge all along the sun belt. Shit I’m off-grid in Washington and I do it off 2500w of panels and 375ah of batteries. It’s not as good as having a tap to grand coulee but I don’t have an electric bill and that does more than just dry my tears, it actually makes happy.



  • Can the supremiest court control its fetishing of fucking americans? With friends like these, they say, and I say …people still have friends?

    I don’t think I’ve ever hoped the court would make the wrong decision more than this case. DO IT. Blow up the medical industry. It’s your chance Roberta, Alito, Thomas, you can undo the biggest overstep ever allowed in American history, that that class trailer FDR did with his New Deal, that Americans have any right to age with any semblance of dignity.

    Torpedo Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. DO IT. The whole medical industry, and insurance industry, are beyond saving and needs complete overhaul. Cutting the federal purse strings would force it to immediate attention. DO IT.
