Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscape

This is akin to waiting until 1944 to speak up about the Holocaust. I hate these craven, opportunistic politicians.

“We are hostages in Gaza. Save what’s left of our humanity… We are not only being bombed, but slowly and systematically starved into silence.”

Eyad Amawi of the Gaza Relief Committee sent this voice message to Drop Site from central Gaza, in the early hours of August 5, 2025.

One thing I've noticed lately is that a lot of Blue MAGA liberals are reposting positive stuff about Mamdani. In the very next post, they'll be defending Newsom and Buttigieg. To me, that indicates that they have no values and will blindly support any Dem, so long as they win. Really explains a lot.

Why the World Is Divided on Plastic as UN Treaty Talks Restart A sixth round of negotiations begins in Switzerland as evidence of the material’s harm mounts.

"Of the 16,000-plus chemicals in plastics, more than 1/4 are known to be hazardous to human health, while the majority have never been tested for toxicity [...] A paper published last week finds that adult humans inhale 68,000 lung-penetrating microplastic fragments a day—100x previous estimates."

If this is where journalism is headed, the entire profession needs to go. We're better off without it. JFC.

The moment is approaching when countries and investors give up on business with Israel ***

Decades too late.

Do you think Trump is an aberration, or the natural byproduct of a broken capitalist system that has reached its endpoint and is in the process of rapid self-destruction? You seem to think that Trump appeared out of the ether and that Dems haven't also been implementing fascist policies.

The whole point of this is to shame you into compliance, because it boils down to domination and control. This is all deliberate on the part of Dems because they want you to internalize blame and to guilt yourself into voting for them in perpetuity, because it's the only way they'll survive.

The focus on celebrities and what they think about politics is symptomatic of everything that's wrong with US culture. Not only would Trump not have become president if it wasn't for The Apprentice, but the obsession with the views of celebrities--which are usually shitty--is a huge waste of energy.

Housing to remain weakest part of economy, falling 8% in the second half, Goldman says The Wall Street investment bank named immigration and affordability challenges as two obstacles standing in the way a housing boost.

You would think that people would understand that it's a huge problem when the majority of the population can't afford to buy a home.

You know that your posts are public, right? You didn't even post about the genocide until 6 months ago, then implied that it wasn't a genocide when it was happening under Biden, but that it would be under Trump.

Everyone knew.

"The UN chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, has criticised the quality of intelligence given to him by the US and Britain [...] Mr Blix told the BBC that his teams followed up US and British leads at suspected sites across Iraq, but found nothing when they got there."

You also repost Will Stancil. 🤮

The Poisoning of Flint Investigative journalist Jordan Chariton explains how powerful forces conspired to poison the Flint water supply and why it's still being covered up.

"I was just there two weeks ago. People are still showing me rashes they're getting from the water on their skin. People are still showing me images and video of brown water coming out of their taps. [...] It's an ongoing disaster, and it's an ongoing cover-up."

More than 10 years later, Flint declares its water safe after replacing lead pipes, but health issues and doubts persist | CNN Eleven years after Flint’s historic water crisis, lead pipes have been replaced, but many residents still refuse to drink or bathe in the water without a filter.

I don't trust proclamations by the state. I trust the people who actually live in Flint.

Nihilism is when you resign yourself to following the same failed strategy over and over, despite proven negative results, because you don't have the political imagination to see any other alternative.

You've been doing that for almost 45 years. Have things gotten better, or worse?

You can really see how cops in Israel and the US have the exact same training.

Liberals be like, "How dare you make me experience the consequences of my actions." 😡

'What am I falling in love with?' Human-AI relationships are no longer just science fiction Since ChatGPT’s late 2022 launch, everyday people have formed emotional connections to chatbots, describing them as deep friendships and even life partnerships.

Can anyone think of the precise moment when the world veered off into this technological dystopia? Because it sure felt like it just came out of nowhere.

@indyrefugee: This is why you have so few followers. You’re in an island of rage and hate. Some people join you because they’re just like you. Just like MAGA. Hurt as many as possible to make yourself feel better about being powerless.

87K followers, almost no engagement. Amazing.

@indyrefugee: You pretend to care about people you’ll never be able to help because you don’t care about anyone. You can’t even care about the people around you. You’ve convinced yourself you’re someone decent but you’re actually a garbage person with nothing good inside you.

So much projection that they could be mistaken for a movie theater.

@indyrefugee: Sometimes they’re worse than the right because they are pretending to care about people when all they care about is getting their way. At least MAGA puts their hate upfront and we can deal with it outright.

What an unbelievable level of projection.

The blatant gaslighting really added an extra layer of depravity to the horror itself. I'll never forget how liberals were angrier at student protestors than they were at Israel. Biden and Trump never would have been able to do this if not for their complicity and support.

Think about how absurd it will be when historians write about the genocide and document how liberals were pretending that the president was powerless to stop the massacre that we were fueling. It would be like saying Hitler really couldn't stop the Holocaust, and insisting that he really wanted to.

This is the inevitable result of having zero standards for elected representatives and demanding voter compliance with the hive mind. Liberals have higher expectations of their partners than they do for some of the most powerful people in the world, which gives them carte blanche to support genocide

Scientists Alarmed as Floodwater Punches Through Greenland's Ice Sheet Scientists were caught by surprise after discovering a massive flood of subglacial lakewater had burst through Greenland's ice sheet.

"Over just ten days in 2014, they watched as a 278-feet-deep crater opened up across a 0.7-square-mile area, causing 23 billion gallons of water to flood out."
