oh zuck is such a lizard-person.

Bezos’ entire personality gets me fuming; I would want to punch him even if he weren’t a billionaire. (Remember that time he talked over William Shatner touchdown?)

Musk honestly looks ok to me personally, I guess the gender-affirming surgeries went well. But the thought of what’s going on behind his eyes makes me want to punch him in the face real bad.

I think copyright lasting 20 years or so is not unreasonable in our current society. I’d obviously love to live in a society where we could get away with lower. As a compromise, I’d like to see compulsory licensing applied to all written work. (E.g., after n years, anyone can use it if they pay royalties and you can’t stop them; the amount of royalties gradually decreases until it’s in the public domain.)

I hate zuckerburg as much as anyone, but I find his face surprisingly low on the punchability index. Musk and Bezos at 1 and 2 for me.

let’s have a tier list of billionaires by face punchability.

I’m not terribly interested in electoral reform personally. It’d be nice but not at the top of my list.

As a Canadian, I engage more with American politics online because more online content is American politics than Canadian.

correlation vs causation is irrelevant. The important thing is that there are no absolutes.

I notice your pronouns are she/her – are you a cis woman then?

um, hate to break it to you, but this isn’t about gender? If your gender were spontaneously changed, that isn’t going to cause you to spontaneously grow boobs.

Twist happy ending: the possum gets up and walks away. It was only playing dead.

It sounds fascist, especially when you phrase it that way, but it is not. My philosophy is that everyone has a right to live where they are born. Is it fascist to desire anything less than the eradication of Canada? IMO working for realistic, incremental, achievable improvements over the status quo (for instance) is not fascist.

Bro that’s so not the same as fascism. I don’t approve at all of Israel’s actions, I hate Zionism, but I don’t believe it’s a given that Israel must be eradicated. I’m disappointed by AOC’s stance on Israel and Palestine, but I would not say it is fascism at all. If you think that advocating for an “immediate cease-fire and de-escalation” is anything like fascist Zionism then you need a reality check.

I am always trying to shift people left. But there just aren’t enough of us yet.

Until such a time as a socialist revolution seems plausible, I still prefer to see progressive liberals in power over conservatives.
