The boomers have been really successfull in simultaneously punching down across the generations and making us punch down on each other at the same time.

We have a small population and mandatory voting means everyone gets a vote by default. We also have a different culture around voting because the majority of us have to do it. We have sausage sizzles and democracy dogs. I’ve personally worked at polls all over my state and there’s never been a line longer than 10 people. It takes most people like 5 mins max to vote. We make voting easy in Australia because everyone has to do it.
It’s worth noting that it’s not all that mandatory. It’s relatively easy to simply avoid enrolling to vote. You’re not automatically enrolled in other words. Also it’s really easy to just sign your name off at the poll and hand in a blank vote. The worst outcome of not voting is a fine that you can pretty easily get out of as well.
As an autistic person that’s a double fuck you from me
Human civilisation feels like it’s regressing.
Fuck yeah Germany!
Can we please just have a good ending with this one where the Germans protest the nazis out of town. The world kind of needs this right now. Please Germany, show us that anti-fascist resistance is possible and history is not doomed to repeat itself forever.
His whole life story explains everything already. The drugs are just the icing on the cake.
Look our current Government is far from perfect but this is a huge improvement from our previous one.
We’ve had political, social and economic revolutions before without shit collapsing. Lots of death and destruction though generally. People don’t give up power easily unfortunately.
I relate to this so much. Throw in trauma and my nervous system is running on overdrive.
This is the most effective strategy I have for managing my adhd.
I used to have a Russian blue. Such beautiful cats
I know these have mostly been performative for a while but I feel like this one has really symbolised the crossover into entire absurdity.
Capitalism (depending on how you define it) is coming up on 600 years soon. That’s usually the point at which systems start to break and new ones emerge. Unfortunately, if you’re a fan of Marx you’ll be aware of his theory that cycles of power relations and exploitation tend to reproduce themselves within these new systems - unless that cycle is broken.
100 years too late.
How you gonna make money though Elon? Or is Twitter suddenly a non profit business.
I disagree. Sewers are useful and serve an important function in society. X does not.
My recommendation is learn to love lentils. Replace the beef in your spag bol with them. So good and so much cheaper. Also beans, there are so many good things you can do with them.
Me in Australia: finally something we’re ahead of everyone on
