It’s official: Christmas has lost the War on Christmas

💯

The DNC is gonna give her a billion dollars just so she can lose by 30 points to a flat-earth mommy blogger who has five kids with measles and a history of kitten torture

Lmao I hope not

Anyway, yeah they made a world where we have to get on the computer, but we don’t have to like it. I’d argue hating it is healthy and good and eventually we’re gonna have to tear it down and make something better in its place.

But I don’t think they can pull it off. It’s so easy for most people to just kill the computer in your head. It’s so easy to heal yourself by laughing with friends or petting a bunny. Swimming in the ocean or staring at a mountain.

If the working class truly swallows this AI abomination, we will emerge not as the programmable slave race they desire but as a human centipede: stitched together by some quack sociopath, a culmination of sick, muffled voices shitting into each other’s mouths before dying in confusion and agony

They want us to become one with the AI so they can wield us as slaves, weapons, and playthings. Connecting with and defending the natural word and each other actually threatens them. It’s why everything the build sucks so bad and makes everyone sad. It’s fake and dumb and soulless.

These technofeudal masters see AI as a parasite to incubate inside of us. Eventually they believe it will chest burst out of humanity as some mutant hybrid where ppl basically have AI for brains and not the other way around. And of course it’s an AI they program/control.

What these people are actually talking to is a brain-eating parasite that was sent by a malevolent proprietor, a grotesque freak made mad by money, the shell of a person who can simulate everything but experience nothing.

Capitalism created a hell of alienation, where all that matters is the individual. The voice of an AI telling ppl they are smart, that’s something they register loud and clear, yet never hear the dying Towhee nestlings cry out under the tracks of the bulldozer making way for their new best friend

Data centers and the energy they use are actively polluting and destroying a living world right now. Is a grasshopper alive? Is a coyote? Is your neighbor? Not to most people, not in any way that matters.

Can a machine’s zombie love me? Can the echo of heartbeat hear itself? Asking if the computer is alive is to lobotomize yourself with the sophistry of billionaires. Get a fucking grip

Hot take: the owning class captured entertainment, art, education, banking, legal, the social, logistics, etc. and then moved everything online in the name of progress and then enshitified it to death on the alter of capital. Now they want to infuse AI into its robot corpse.

Look, man. The horse was already out of the barn when the Patriot act passed 25 years ago. The vote on that was 357-66 in the House and then 98-1 in the Senate. Fascism has always been a bipartisan enterprise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

Similar pattern in who is being quoted in coverage of national guard deployment in New Orleans, with bonus points for interviewing tourists from whole other parts of the country and world.

Most American cities are actually pretty fun, safe places with families and normal people just living their lives, but to the paranoid suburban MAGA base who experience life primarily though a screen, cities are violent scary places that need to be purged by heroes in uniform

S3E4 Bills with Victoria Zeller (DirtbagQueer) A trip to Buffalo went better than expected but in the end it was still a 31-19 loss for our heros. Joining L. Ron and Charles on the pod is Buffalo native and lifelong Bills fan Victoria Zeller, auth

This week on City Saint / Country Saint, @dirtbagqueer.rocks joins @lronmexico.bsky.social and me to talk about the Bills win over the Saints and her book One of the Boys. I feel like a win is coming! Maybe.

Unless drastic changes are made, parts of the United States will become Gaza. Everyone knows this. It isn’t really a big surprise, except that I’d never thought such a big portion of this country would be rooting for that.

The Iraq war laid the foundation for all of this: The militarization of law enforcement, the liberal media adopting the conservative framework of who deserves human rights, capitalism’s global buildout of surveillance, detention, and mercenary forces, and equating govt criticism to terrorism

S3E3 Seahawks with Spike Friedman L. Ron and Charles welcome Spike Friedman to the pod after the Seahawks' dominant 44-13 win over the Saints. Nobody had fun, except for Spike, who is enjoying a golden year of Seattle sports.

After watching the Saints get dismantled, @lronmexico.bsky.social and I were joined by @spikefriedman.bsky.social who only gloated a LOT and also talked too much about the Mariners even though the baseball season ended months ago! We are not having fun!

Must be something to do with time, like they let you access memories in all the real-time feelings, free from the layers of cope and weariness stacked on top of it all.

😭

Anyway the moral of the story is to not judge strangers because they might have good reasons for laughing or crying at you. Everyone is fighting battles you can’t see and laughing at things you don’t know.

And he couldn’t go anywhere because he worked there. He had to stand there getting cried at by me. Anyway I just saw him again and stared at him and started laughing uncontrollably remembering all that. He must think I’m nuts in a menacing way

One time I was on mushrooms at the grocery store and I saw this little manager guy with no neck who seemed very spunky and loyal to the store, and I just stared at him and started crying because he reminded me of this chihuahua I had that just died

The priests of capital never stop evangelizing, at all hours, on every platform

You can’t teach these people history, context, the function of ideology, you can’t even teach them what a mode of production is. They are priests for money who think of themselves of rational humanitarians.

This is absolute Clown shit. Marvel brain. Liberals want their violence done through the market, mystified through institutional mechanisms of control. They want the spoils of empire without the guilt. They want to say the victims of their machine deserved it because they made the wrong choices.

One thing the soviets and nazis knew, and agreed on, was that each was an existential threat, and they could not live in a world where the other existed. Decades of propaganda have liberals believing these guys were the same because they both used violence.
