One of the many myriad things I hate about Trump is that he’s made presidential election season even longer with this sort of shit.

Usually this ends and I can enjoy the holidays, but no, I have to hear abiut this shit until fucking January.

Fuck him.

Yeah, all the neonazis in prison will consider him a hero

I disagree with that last part. It wasn’t that we didn’t persecute the hoarders. It’s that we got into groups too large to achieve consensus and we forgot how to live without agriculture so we couldn’t leave. That’s why it was a trap: Suddenly we had to do it and couldn’t stop. Nobody has to be hoarding things if we’re all reliant on farming. We have to stick around.

What we did from there was just kludgy attempts to get a nomadic primate that lives in small groups to live in sedentary large groups. If we can’t fathom the cosmos because the notion of “one million” is too large for the human brain to comprehend, how are we supposed to make sense of a planet with eight billion humans? If we can only remember about 150 names and faces, how are we supposed to feel belonging in a community of thousands, let alone millions?

Also, I didn’t blame agriculture for late-stage capitalism. I blamed it for authoritarianism. Once you start having to enforce the will of the majority on the minority things start to suck fast.

I think electing Kamala would increase division because the last time we had a black president the racists lost their fucking shit.

To which I say: Good. Fuck those assholes. Die mad.

Once a group gets big enough you’re not able to get everybody to agree. So you do things some people want and use force against the opposition. Combine this with larger groups fighting over limited resources and you’ve got a recipe for authoritarianism.

Agriculture was a trap.

This election cycle will cost America $15 billion.

That’s enough money to build over 3,500 elementary schools. Or over 35,000 homes.

True, but you don’t need a passport to go there. To your average American it’s as much outside the US as Hawaii.

The fact that Puerto Rico isn’t even outside US borders is what makes this ridiculous

Humanity is like that racist analogy of a bowl of M&Ms but a few are poisoned.

Except that almost all of them are candy covered shit and there’s like one or two in the bowl that are chocolate.

Oh, and if you don’t try every one there’s something wrong with you.

Sad Richmond noises

I’m just sick of these assholes saying “I’m not gonna vote because I don’t want to support genocide” when we’re all actively supporting the genocide every day and have been for seventy years, regardless of how we voted.

It’s clear they don’t really care because (a) it’s a week before the election and (b) they’re doing fuck all else about it.

So if I moved to Puerto Rico I wouldn’t have to pay income tax?

There’s plenty of nonviolent protests you could do. You could start by just not paying your taxes.

But you won’t because for all your “I don’t want to harm people” you value your own freedom more than other people.

No, you said you don’t know that the government will spend the money on killing children. But we do know that will happen.

You’re too scared of the government to actually do anything material to stop it, like not paying your taxes.

You know the government will spend the money killing children, and yet your fear of legal action prevents you from not paying your taxes to fund it.

You don’t get out of culpability for this atrocity by deciding not to vote. We are all responsible for it. We have all played our own small part it making it happen. We have all paid for a bullet that killed a child with our tax dollars. And no action we take on Tuesday will change that.

NTE has a winter maintenance plan in place now, the investigation found, but has fought its disclosure in civil court where dozens of plaintiffs are seeking damages. NTE claims that the plan is proprietary and shouldn’t be revealed.

How is “we’re gonna salt the roads” proprietary?
