I see your ublock and raise you Pihole.

The internet has always had ads, some of the most obnoxious were those mid to late 90s banner ads with sound. I’ll never forget loading a random page and my speakers screaming: Helllllloooooooooo.

This made me want to watch the last season of Succession again

Timeraptors sound terrifying

Online interactions in a nutshell.

So which is it? Do you only want people to lose their homes who

go out of their way to hurt others and cause suffering

Or

purposely move[d] to Texas to support Texas politics

because it sounds like you’re moving the goalpost now.

Let me help you out friend, there is only one struggle, the class struggle. When you parrot billionaire talking points like that it’s the working class’ fault because we all chose from their rigged choices, or didn’t vote at all, or are a victim of decades of cradle to grave propaganda you help the billionaires keep us divided.

I really hope you can see beyond whatever culture war tactic is being used to divide us and stop spreading hateful messaging like working class people should lose their homes.

I also hope that people who don’t share my political views lose all their possessions in a natural disaster. Oh wait, no I don’t because I’m not a dickhead.

The disillusioning thing, besides the grim, efficient-looking guards and their rifles, was in the faces of the prisoners. Under a smiling sky, there was not a smile in the 2,000. They looked sour, grim, sullen, sad or merely apathetic.

Gee, can’t imagine why.

It’s all relative. It’d be just as easy to argue the head in the sand argument at an American who thinks they’re just gonna pack up to a random city in Europe and avoid the consequences of what’s happening globally. I understand we’re all just trying to feel like we have agency over our own lives and don’t exist at the whim of a handful of billionaires, so to each their own.

There are too few places to escape to in modern society, given the rise of authoritarian globally. I was planning on Germany until the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Now I find it more prudent to stay in the U.S. and relocate to a low population area. For the handful of dense urban environments in the U.S. there are far more wide open spaces with no people.
