My Windows gaming PC is completely fine right now, because I don't use crowd strike. Microsoft didn't have anything to do with crowd strikes' rollout or support.

I love Linux and use it as my daily driver for everything besides some online games. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize Microsoft and Windows, but crowd strike breaking stuff isn't one of them, at least in my opinion.

I wouldn't call it a 'very small minority', personally.

Most people who actually have dark humor don't really have to bring it up in conversation that often, because they aren't assholes who use it as an excuse to say slurs and hateful/hurtful things.

The people who are normally quick to let you know that they have dark humor are the ones who use it as an excuse to say a bunch of gamer words, at least from my experience growing up.

Bibi's Bestie Brandon.

You never see anyone wearing a stupid ass blue Joe Biden hat and "Cmon Man" Shirt do you? People vote for him because they have no choice, not because they like him.

I'm going to vote for him and its going to hurt my soul to the fucking core. That's just how bad Trump is for myself, family, and friends. I guess I'll have to choose a genocide fundraiser to keep my friends from being fucking executed as 'pedophiles', or whatever.

I dont know why this would be surprising. The man is a literal death dealer rapist who laughs at and mocks the misfortune of others. I wouldn't ever expect any semblance of respect or sympathy towards him from the general public, not even for a second.

People are going to roast him every chance that they get, and I think it would be naive to act like he doesn't deserve the treatment.

Just chiming in to say Panopticon is great. I enjoyed the civility of the discussion here, as well.

So you would want the president of the US to make up obvious lies and name call like a child when dealing with other world powers? Just go up there and sniff his own farts at the UN meeting or whatever?

I know Biden did poorly, but that doesn't mean we have to act like Trump did well. Any compent politician would have have made him look stupid in that debate, and the same would happen on the world stage.

He was already winning by every available metric.

I just looked for myself, and NPR/PBS survey has Biden ahead. Many other polls have it basically tied. A few have Trump in the lead by 2-3 points.

I wouldn't personally call that winning by every available metric, although I would agree with you that it looks like Trump has a slight lead.

Both of these do fall under the idiotic and malicious choices category, in my opinion.

The "beach blonde bad built butch body" thing exists because MTG is a malicious idiot, and decided to attack Jasmine Crockett about her eyelashes during a House Committee meeting.

The "beetlejuice handjob" thing is because Boebert is an idiot and decided to commit lewd acts in public.

Good to know actually. Appreciate the breakdown.

Agreed. Was just stating what the law is.

Yea but what you actually mean by that is:

Agreed. Was just stating what the my local state law is.

Its important, because people should know that their local state laws around this may be different.

You bring up a good a point, and it is meant to be provocative on purpose. It really helps remind Christian people of the importance of separation of religion and state when they see Satanic statues next to the ten commandments after they pass legislature requiring display of religious symbols and what not.

It's one of the only effective ways to get these people to stop trying to push their religion on everyone else. Those types don't typically listen to reason or compromise with others, for that matter.

I like your funny words, magic man.

There's a lot to criticize about the dems and Bidens administration, that's for certain. One thing we can say is that even though it hasn't been the best ally to LGBTQ+ community as it could be, the alternative is an enemy and great threat to all marginalized people. Trump will most definitely work to ban any sort of gender affirming care.

The DNC deserves criticism for sure, and I completely agree with calling out it's bullshit. They need to do better and/or we need better options, for sure. They should be our most conservative party in an ideal world.

Criticize, loudly even, just please don't throw away your vote. I'm afraid people's apathy is going to get an actual enemy elected.

Murder happens all of the time in Capitalist society, too, you know? Even though it's 'illegal' and all that.

Anarchy does not mean no rules, it just means there is no state to enforce those rules. Communities can still enforce their own rules in Anarchist society, and one of those rules can be 'don't murder'.

I don't think that case is a good comparison to a bunch of leftists taking up arms against the state. That was protestor on protestor violence and involved two people. Had nothing to do with a bunch of Americans standing up to a tyrranical government at once. The Marshall's response was disgusting, but that's to be expected with someone like Trump holding the reins.

Some better examples would be MOVE in Philadelphia who got bombed, and the black panthers in California who got the Republican led government to make laws against the second amendment. Still, I think these groups were too small, we just need more people.

You do bring up a good point, but we haven't really tried, yet. It might be different when the feds are actually against a large group, but they will never be deterred by smaller groups. The problem is actually getting enough people to care enough. People are very attached to their bread and circuses, and I understand. The revolution would not be an enjoyable struggle.

Obama was that bogeyman from 2008 to 2016. Considering that he won two elections during that time, I don't think Fox News is really relevant to AOC.

You are very right, and I feel your pain. I'm not judging you for feeling that way, at all.

I just don't think that abstaining from voting is going to work in favor of fixing this issue. If anything we need to keep voting to keep the country as left as it can be for now, until we can shift the two parties we are forced to pick from farther to the left.

I hop off the train at the part where the top-down dictatorship comes into play. Probably a bit before the level of authoritarianism where the Joseph Stalin type starts killing people for having a dissenting opinion, and what not.

Using the state to enforce good wages and end the terribleness of the stock market/landlord culture does not need to involve a top down dictatorship and a lack of democracy.

I know about the "dictatorship of the proletariat" and all that, and in my opinion, it should involve all of the workers, not one person or a small group of people. A top down dictatorship just makes it all that easier for the party to be infiltrated and controlled by bourgeois interests. If said dictatorship is a true democracy, with each worker having an equal say, it makes it pretty hard to control the proles.

Tankies have read Marx and Engels, yes, but there are many other forms of leftism and even other forms of communism that aren't ML. You are right about ML communists, in particular, but many other leftist movements are anti-authoritarian by their nature, so the point still stands.

Also, it's possible to do the reading and disagree with the methods of implementation. I agree with the economics and the stated goals of communism, but I don't believe authoritarianism is the best way to go about it.

If Project 2025 is successful, we won't ever have another democratic election. Our election is going to work like Russia's does after that point, and we will have a dictator of some kind that pretends to hold elections.

So, unfortunately, this is not the way.
