Right wingers hoard guns. I have been saying for a solid fucking decade that if the left isn’t armed we’re helpless. There’s the SRA and JBGC, but a major part of the democratic platform has been “we’re gonna take your guns” since before I was born. I might go out in a blaze of glory if the brownshirts bring war to my doorstep, but I’m not picking a suicidal fight on my own.

ETA: and yes, the Democrats aren’t left wing. But they are the leftmost viable party we have. And they have been anti-gun for decades. Which means they tend to not own guns and they tend to not organize militias.

is this the part where I imply your mother has loose morals?

They hate those too don’t worry

Great place for a dollar general

Whatever they call themselves they are not pro-Palestine. I don’t buy it. Maybe they’re anti-Israel, but they ain’t pro-Palestine.

Halt and catch fire? No wait, they already do that.

What’s your preferred system?

Where did you hear that?

I don’t know if I believe that people will avoid the risk. Humans are god awful at wrapping their our heads around risk. If the system works well enough that it crashes, let’s say, once in 100,000 miles, many people will probably find the added convenience to be worth the chance that they might be held liable for a collision.

E, I almost forgot that I am stupid too

It’s been a while since I was into podcasts but Srsly Wrong used to be one of my favorites for a more optimistic discussion of leftist theory.

“3 paragraphs is too much for me to read”

The dnc sucks but c’mon, are you illiterate?

But then how will you know where the nearest Arby’s is on your commute

I’m never going to understand how battery operated public transit makes more sense than trolleybuses in places where you need climate control for the cabin. Other than lack of political will, I suppose.

I still think “Dumbfuckistan” has a nice ring to it

Are the Lemmy liberals in the room with us right now

same as it ever was

The problem I have with glue tonight is it frequently makes mistakes I have to go back and fix

I can’t just let Plasma be.

People are posting about wanting to run away to the woods but I think it’s important to remember that cities can be quiet.

Not that we should all move to Delft, but if we built infrastructure for people instead of cars cities wouldn’t be so fucking loud.

no more Lemmy before breakfast for me
