there are so many things in the world those people could lash out about, instead of trying to bully someone who’s making them salty because reasons. tell haters to go fuck themselves and go on about your day

of course technofascist bloatligarchs want, above all else, a) to control/surveil everyone that isn’t themselves; and b) to exploit them to the maximum extent possible for profit

the graph of progress they’ve made in those areas since the WWW was invented is all line go up. the internet we grew up with is dying. being killed actually, step by step. it was fun while it lasted

“protect the children” LOL what a fucking joke. more like “how can we make it so these future consumers just can’t live without instatwittokbookcord?”

at this point i pretty much assume that if it’s sold in flashy packaging (or the generic version of same), then it’s sus

it’s not the one chemical-laden ultraprocessed crap meal that kills you, it’s decades of eating it every day. same as cigarettes. and like big tobacco, food corps will fight tooth and nail for deregulating, loosening rules, blocking laws, etc., so they can keep putting garbage in your food so it costs them less while they charge you more

people who should be spending decades in prison are instead starting wars with the rest of the world

american here

i fucking hate this shithole country

capital U for user, smashed random top row numbers

again with the “legally” stuff.

“the people sending me to die in war say i’m old enough to die for them”

how the fuck do you not see the problem with that?

18 = KID. yes, 90 year old people are dumb too. that does literally nothing to invalidate my point.

nice talking to you, i’m done with this. 18 year olds are kids

LOL i was wondering when you’d bring up the “legally” defense of your wrong position.

18 years old = kid. the end.

why do you think they want 18 year olds in the military?

because at that age, you’re dumb enough to sign up.

kids.

it’s the same reason evangelists are fighting tooth and nail to get mandatory jesus in public schools–because kids don’t have the life experience to consider “maybe this is bullshit” and once they’re brainwashed, they’re brainwashed

again, good for you.

18 year olds are kids. you’re not changing that.

thank you for your service

18 years old is 100% a kid. how old are you? are you telling me that every decision you made at 18 was a well informed smart decision? that you never fell for any bullshit propaganda? if so, kudos to you. that’s not most kids. i was well over 20 and allowed myself to be convinced that iraq had WMDs.

that’s true. but 18 years old is still a kid. and all those kids who signed up, especially these days, lack basic critical thinking skills that lead us to the conclusion that maybe making myself property of the us government isn’t the best idea under this infantile fascist pedo rapist. that’s all by design. i blame the parents

edit: i need to add-- once you’re signed up, yes, you’re forced to go. you do what you’re told, or you’re out, with a “dishonorable discharge” stapled to every job application you fill out for the rest of your life

meanwhile, literally nothing happened to trump when he stole boxes and boxes of classified docs and stored them in his fucking bathroom where anyone could (and definitely did) go in and get photos of all of it

the thing no one talks about https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/us/politics/cia-informants-killed-captured.html

imagine raising a kid for 18 years only to have him get blown up in a bullshit war started by pedophile con men. while the top pedophile con man calls them “suckers and losers”

because incels are the largest chunk of losers who still support any of this bullshit that everyone else hates

too many people who voted for all of this, and are suffering because of it, still support every part of it.

because jesus and guns and hate-the-gays–literally no other issue ever peeks above the horizon of their awareness

i can’t think of the last time, if ever, i loved and hated a meme so much at the same time

“conservative” as a valid train of thought died with john mccain

you will find juvenile trolls on whatever platform you use, especially as more and more people join. fediverse is no exception. “go back to reddit” is the new “touch grass.” whatever rational explanation there may be for people lashing out probably isn’t worth the effort to understand. best advice is to ignore and/or block people who are making you read this much into their ranting.
