Every place a commune to be unleashed!
Padding the comment-to-post ratios since before choppo chæt was a thing.
At age 11 you will put behind childish things like running, jumping, crawling, rolling, and holding more than one hand above chest height. You will replace them with gender performance so as to improve your Darwinian fitness, and you will enlist cars and other motorized components to move your body, which you will keep in a narrow photogenic posture at all times. Your only sanctioned experience of a childlike state will be through alcohol.
I enjoyed watching the show because I was introduced to it by friends with a healthy gender balance, it had a quirky and sophisticated humor to it, and every 3-minute span passed the Bechdel test.
Others liked it because hell if I know, but we are not the same.
What if they replaced the Allah emblem with a Sikh khanda and no one noticed
Or a Juche emblem, for that matter
Long enough to be able to pay delinquent child support, that’s for sure.
Lining up behind the Democrats is a much closer point of cognitive stability than actively opposing both main parties, unfortunately.
The united states in its death spiral is really going to take out every government with social programs in the entire hemisphere, isn’t it?
The twist at the end is that this is the 11th of 15 head-to-head minigames.
It’s funny to see the German comments right after the video was posted, and then English comments popping up 7 years later when it got rediscovered on TikTok. Maybe they should have made a whole game show out of this.
Part of the context for this is that there is a narrative over a few chapters in Genesis of Sodom and Gomorrah being the people everybody hates, objectionable both to their peers and to the divine observer. Abraham is the figure showing mercy and haggles with God to spare them if 50 (or 20, or even 10) righteous people can be found), and it is implied that not a single one is found.
The ultimatums and threats made to Lot can more accurately be seen as sexual assault, as well as a violation of the cultural norm of hospitality to guests. Relevant to part of your question is that Lot, as the protagonist, does not see it as transgressive to give his already-betrothed (!) daughters over to his neighbors. To keep the story concise it would have made sense to give just one last particularly shocking offense before the resolution.
Like with the rest of the Torah, the story was crafted in a certain social/historical context, passed down orally for generations, and then written down by multiple people trying to portray it coherently for the ages. It works nicely as an origin and identity story, but it breaks down if you nit-pick it, especially if you’re reading it in a modern Indo-European language. And vernacular nit-picking is what a lot of Protestants have made it their business to do.
They are lowkey making this a POV Human Trafficker ad.
They’ll manufacture that anyway by taking a Fort Bragg veteran to pull off a hit on an underachieving or uncompliant ICE agent, and spinning up a story about it being a “radical leftist”.
Good-faith does not exist in America today, it was abandoned so long ago.
“I’m jerkin’ their chains!”
A guy named Peniston is writing about a real dick move.
each one getting increasingly rage filled.
Make sure he is nudged toward general strikes and a moratorium on consumption, rather than potentially toward lone wolf stuff.

A few years ago I was working every day of the week, 70h/wk, for 6 weeks. Even with a committed organizing group around me, and even earning much more than ever before, it put me in a really dark place mentally. Sleep well and eat well and hug someone and expose yourself to lots of plants.
Having a horizon of life achievement to look towards does a lot, as does being in a group of well-aligned people. I believe that this was the biggest difference between myself and the majority of my worn-down, empty-feeling coworkers. I have a straight shot to house acquisition which will lower base living costs to less than $2k/yr per person when shared, and to expanding this into a constellation of collective houses with dozens of the socialists in my life, and to starting businesses that I could turn into workers’ coops, and if everything falls apart I would still have a rural commune to bug out to. Not saying this to brag so much as “I want to connect every Hexbear to this who wants it”.
It feels like I have found a resonance between the path of my own life and my socialist politics, I call this finding the plot, and I want this for every political accomplice. If you ever want someone to talk to about personal circumstances and analyzing what can be done with them, or just for someone to cheer you on, I’d love to chat.

I think you’re being delusionally optimistic about the ability to grow the progressive representation in the government. We got a boost to the DSA in the first Trump term, and the Squad, which maxed out at 9/435, that’s 2%. The Congressional Progressive Caucus went from 68 to 96 in two elections, and then likewise plateaued. The path to victory there is something seven (7) times that jump. I think less than 4% of the electorate are socialists, and I doubt as much as 25% are progressives. But let’s set that aside.
The money issue only highlights the BIGGEST problem in our election system. Campaign Finance Reform is the issue from which literally EVERY other issue flows.
I agree with something synonymous to this on a core level: money pervades and corrupts everything. There’s just context that makes my structural analysis different.
Power follows money, money does not follow power quite as much. Economic power is the basis for political power, and always has been throughout the history of civilization.
America has always been an oligarchy. It inherited that orientation from its colonial precursor, its government was deliberately set up that way by the founders, and it has found ways to remain oligarchic, from the resistance to Reconstruction to the Red Scare to Dominion ballot machines and expanding primary seasons today. We may have had a brief few decades (from universal adult suffrage and the New Deal) where it got a little bit less oligarchic, then found ways to return.
The rich and powerful will never allow you to simply vote away their wealth and power. As soon as they see what you’re aiming to do, they will put more safeguards in against what you’re doing. This is why the largest upheavals in American history (Revolutionary War, Civil War) were largely two different elevated classes contesting for dominance.
There is no incentive for entrenched congresscritters to approve of campaign finance reform that actually works instead of making the whole thing more byzantine. You are trying to fight corporate interests by flinging yourself against a wall propped up by corporate interests and also the American political inertia. How do you expect you’ll make it happen by working within the existing system, with a large majority of voters who are centrist to reactionary, and who have vested interests in preserving the global functions of capitalism?
Now that I think about it, this is an amazing grift. You look at their site and the ticker is going “No estrogenics, no seed oils”. They know their target market. In fact it feels almost comically formulaic according to the conventional “how to start a business” guide. “Describe, define, picture your consumer.” The consumer is a man who works out a lot and is concerned about projecting manliness.
The price of a box is about $18 before discounts, with a subscription it’s $11. Compare that to regular keto cereal which is $7 to $9 at my local Walmart.
100% chance this thing is artificially sweetened to be taste exactly the same as those glazed balls Kellogg’s cereals, and then marked up another 50%.
