another gen-xer here. What haunts me a tad is that we are such a quiet generational cohort that we risk not even existing in future historical anlyses of the decline of the US. We may just get lumped in with the boomers. I do feel like we were much different than them, but we never got anything done, or led anything. There was always this feeling that we’d get our chance when the boomers faded out of the picture and they just never did. I suppose we had to fight for it and we didnt (enough), or something.

If you Google prominent gen-X politicians a list of republicans come up starting with vance. No dems on the list. Then ask again for prominent genX politicians on the left and you get cory booker, Gavin Newsom, and Beto Orourke. Its like my whole generation never existed.

Its hard to decide who is the biggest moron, Thiel, Musk or Trump.

And there it is. You dont give two shites about dead kids as long as you get your personal bespoke benefits. Whatever else you are, you’re a true capitalist.

How do you expect other people to respect your rights to live your life with universal rights in peace if you wont lift a finger to ensure those same right for others? What makes you special?

Feelgood story of the year.

That checks out. Your bovine-like lack of care and thought is exactly how we have genociders running on the dem party ticket.

Anyway, best of luck getting Harris or whoever other zionist creature elected again. I’m sure you’ll do great.

oh no, did I get the term wrong. So… I’m not a gun guy and am unlikely to become one. I dont really care what the proper term is. I’m going to just go with “bullet-holder”.

Good. So you admit you brought trump down on us intentionally.

I could say the same about you and the genocide. By voting for it you permitted it to exist. If Harris knew in advance that she had no chance of winning if she backed Israel, she wouldnt have backed Israel and we could have had a candidate who wasnt bought. But you dont hold yourself accountable for that, do you. You voted for a person you knew would deny the palestinian holocaust and let it continue. You made the space for her to be shitty, denying all of us a candidate who would do the right thing with your half-assed “strategy” voting. Your moral flexibility doomed us all, and doomed a bunch of now dead Palestinians. Heck of a job.

I didnt vote for genocide. You did. I just sat there with my hands in my pockets letting the system burn instead of trying to put it out. We dont need no water let the mothereffer burn.

Real ai to me would mean true agency. And an entity which has its own goals and relationship to its world.

yep, with our money.

It wont be a real AI, but itll be just enough to kill off a lot of the software industry.

How many people knew by the subject line that the “foreign government” would be Israel. Its always Israel.

Newsom is sure as f*ck not working for the voters. He is just a middle management asskisser.

great but he cant win. Dems will just sit on the couch if he runs, same as with Harris.

mega-douche zionist newsom is in 3rd place for the dem spot, according to Kalshi anyway, with Osoff leading and AOC second. newsom will just be a creature of the rich. Voting for him is the same as voting for musk, thiel, ellison, zuckerberg and besos. We should really just cut out the middle man and put them directly in charge.

Zionists, Now Russian invaders. What other scum of the earth can we join forces with. We can help China murder Taiwan I guess.

I’ve been counselled to make sure if you ever have to shoot someone that you empty the clip into them, as it implies you were pannicked , in fear for your life, and and not in control of the situation.

I think the fundamental disconnect between you and I is that I look down the road whereas you look for more immediate results. From what I see down the road, I despair and you do not. Our system is captured by people who will submit bribes to do … whatever they want. Genocide , pedophilia, oppression, theft, and war crimes for example-- but it really is whatever the hell they want from here on out. Our laws are a joke and our courts are a joke-- Biden didnt really follow them either. Both parties accept those bribes and act loyally on them. Neither party will change that-- they will just play games with you to keep you busy. As citizens we are accountable for the outcomes of our government commensurate with our ability to change that outcome. So when you have an option to destroy this government, its your moral duty to do it, if thats the lesser harm accumulation to humanity long term. To do otherwise would be to go along with the war-crimininality this country is perpetrating for those bribes. I dont want blood on my hands, and I imagine you dont either. I dont want people oppressed. I want civil rights and universal human rights for everyone-- not just Americans, and an actual rule of law, not this bullshit we have now.

I think we are in a structurally captured state and it cant be cured. So make your choice from there. I’m choosing accelerationism and hoping the system can change before it implodes, but we need to be on the path to implode it either way, until the Dems prove to us that they will get back on track.

Dozen who will go to great lengths to say there are many of them, so you cant blame all israel for the genocide, because that would be unfair to the tiny minority.

republicans usually crash the economy right toward the end of their term, yeah. pretty much every single time. So Q3 2027 is perfect.
