The preponderance of flagrant double standards in moderation policies did it in for me. I deleted a 14 year old account when it became clear that there was going to be a clear effort on behalf of reddit's corporate leadership to push bullshit narratives and purge anyone who spoke up about it. I figured it was only a matter of time before someone invented a reason to ban me.
Turns out I don't even miss it.
The Trump administration has demonstrated that the constitution doesn't really matter. Why keep pretending like this is some sort of sacred immutable text? The spell has been lifted.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.
I'll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I'm sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.
Get in their faces and never fucking move, Canada. Keep fascists marginalized and weird at any cost.
People usually aren't impressed by photocopiers either these days. When you get right down to it, "art" generated by LLMs is just photocopying with more advanced steps. I think a lot of people inherently know this. An LLM isn't an artist, it's a mechanism for replicating what artists do.
To be fair, they don't appear to actually know how anything works.
So this is how furries happened isn't it?
The last F-14s are begging for death in Iran. Don't desecrate their corpses.
What else are they going to do with those ass loads of uranium deposits?
The tip of something else.
Ukraine is about nearly 10x Vietnam at this point.
Hell, Russia experienced a Vietnam level of loss in about 2 months during the Avdiivka offensive.
We're speed running into a time where Facebook memes are just incoherent noise.
What this ultimately amounts to is the worst actors using a blanket justification to carry out revenge fantasies against whatever marginalized group they're fixated on.
If you happen to be part of any of these marginalized groups, now would be the time to get armed and get dangerous. It would be great if we lived in a functioning society where this wasn't necessary, but the failure of so many of our institutions is slowly rewinding our social fabric back to wild west times.
I want a democratic party that is as fully willing to ratfuck and obstruct all conservative efforts as the republicans have been for decades.
I want them to stop attempting to "reach across the aisle" to an enemy faction that would never be willing to do the same.
I want them to vote 100% against every single human garbage dump nominee that Trump puts in front of them.
I want them to have state police ready to clap the cuffs on Elon Musk as soon as her enters a state where he has broken the law.
I want them to stop playing defense and to start attacking for once, and I want them to do this as a unified front.
I want representatives that are willing to pull some South Korean shit and kick down doors on unelected DOGE stooges flinging shit inside our vital institutions.
If you're really going to sit here and pretend that none of the things I mentioned play a clear and obvious role in our current situation, I don't even know where to start with you.
If conservatives ever get insane enough to actually try anything like that, understand that a fair amount of that hypothetical insurgency will be happening on the American side of the border as well. A lot of people who live near the border have a lot of Canadian ties. They would effectively consider any military action taken against Canada to be an attack on them.
