Nope, only people with functioning brains.

I can’t wait for the 99.99% to continue to do absolutely nothing about it.

Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you’re against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.

The unemployed auto sector worker believes “woke” means Chinese EVs.

The bigots believe “woke” means allowing gay people to exist.

The wealthy believe “woke” means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.

It’s a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that “woke” means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate “woke”, then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.

Keep this in mind every time you hear someone say that something is “to protect the children.”

You know what is incredibly easy to do to protect the children? Don’t fucking pepper spray and tear gas them. It’s so easy to do that I’ve been doing it my entire life without even trying.

Yep, not in the lifetime of any person currently living.

Sowing trust in a violent, repressive, fascist regime is a far worse idea.

Ah, no worries then. We all know that police departments in the USA are absolutely above reproach and are impossible to influence politically.

Exactly - no USA stats are trustworthy in any context.

No statistics provided by any part of any government in the USA are reliable, and should not be believed in any context.

This should serve as a powerful reminder that nobody in the world, under any circumstances, should ever assist USA troops.

USA health “care” is so profoundly fucked up.

They have already thrown out the results of a primary because they don’t like them. They’re redistricting like crazy to their own benefit right now. They’ve already clawed back decades of voter equality laws.

The midterms are already completely compromised and their outcome is already absolute bullshit.

No, it’s dead.

There are two kind of wages they can pay us. Living wages, and killing wages.

Yeah, it’s the surging gas prices. Sure, CEO man.

These idiots are so out of touch. $40 more a month in gas compared to 3 years ago isn’t what’s breaking me. It’s the $800/mo more in rent. It’s the $300/month more in groceries. It’s my electrical bill doubling because of a new AI slopcenter in my backyard. It’s being told by my boss that this quarter’s record profits weren’t record enough to fund a measly 2% raise for me.

But sure, my dude Mr. Kraft CEO. Blame the gas boogeyman.

I wonder how marbled Mr. Cahillaine’s sirloin is? Maybe it would be good with some Heinz 57 sauce.

Yep, nothing at all will happen to counter the continuing rise of USA fascism. MAGA will do whatever it wants and those opposed will do nothing more than write eloquent articles about which laws are being violated. They’ll be sitting in the gas chamber saying “Well actually, gas chamber mass executions like this one are unconstitutional because blah blah blah,” having never lifted a finger to oppose it in any practical way.

Anyone who still thinks democracy is still even slightly alive in the USA is delusional.

And you can flash 3rd party firmware too.

The opportunity for future enshitification is the main reason I’ll never connect mine to the internet. It’s a great printer, but I don’t trust any tech companies for basically the reasons you described.

My buddy has a Bamboo. It’s pretty good. My Snapmaker U1 is way better, and is actually open.

He’s a conservative so he only cares when it affects him personally.
