Bro, this country is terminally fucking car brained, even among environmentalist groups. I've been following the CAHSR project pretty close, and the Sierra Club got the planned Los Banos (it's a bedroom community for the bay area and a lot of super commuters live there) station shitcanned early on (because "won't someone please think of the wetlands?!" But also we're totally cool with the 152 bypass project and unlimited suburban expansion into the wetlands, just not anything that will actually do anything to conserve the environment long term), and also made it so that the train had to go into a corrugated metal tunnel while travelling along highway 152 to keep from hurting the birds in the wetlands. Nevermind the four lane highway right next to the train, that's fine, cars never hurt birds, everyone knows that.
Not that they've got a real patriotic bone in their body, it's all fast nationalism, but Ivan and his son, Ivan is one of the greatest paintings of all time.
What am I missing here, isn't the red and black anarcho communism?
E: got it, horizontal vs diagonal. In the picture, the flags being slumped allowed me to interpret the colors being diagonal at a glance. Banderites, yuck.
We're not going to get that far, though. We've got a poly ecological crisis happening right now between insect extinction, microplastics in brain tissue and inhibiting photosynthesis, and climate change, and the right has decided (thanks to some generous donations) that long term growth is woke, we need maximum profits right up until everyone is dead. We're just gonna plug our ears and yell "la la la can't hear you" while the lights flicker out one by one, and then all at once.
Came here to mention how neurodivergence has this effect too, being powered by a combo of unlimited cluelessness with regards to social conventions and weird but very strong hangups about things. Then I read your post. Clearly, gay neurodivergence is on a whole other power level. Bravo, OP.
When this whole fucking thing backfires and we end up with a communist revolution, there's going to be a lot of people in a real big hurry to delete their xitter accounts.
IIRC, white Jesus is specifically made to look like members of the Medici family, who were major sponsors of the same Renaissance artists who painted most of our iconic religious art.
