If you would stop being such a dumb mother fucker and stop voting for pedophiles because trans girls make you feel icky and give you a boner at the same time then we could fix all this shit.

There is absolutely no reason why everything can't be fine but guys like you are so fucking stupid you think you're part of the in group and that when the shit hits the fan Trump has your back. He hates you. You disgust him. When you showed up on January 6th to make him King he was pissed off how low class and how much of a bunch of losers you are.

The point of my rant which is way the fuck over your head is that if assholes like you would get out of the way people like me who aren't idiots could fix all this shit in a couple of decades tops. No poverty no war no starvation no hungry kids and the only thing we have to trade for it is you would have to be nice to trans girls and blacks or whatever group you don't like and you wouldn't be able to worship Elon Musk and pretend he actually did anything useful instead of just stealing all my taxpayer money and my 401k.

The real problem here is you have extremely low self esteem and you take that out on the rest of us. It's amazing that a bunch of losers with low self-esteem or basically going to end the human race for the stupidest fucking way possible in the stupidest timeline possible.

It was political correctness when I was a lad, then it was sjw and now it's woke. I think woke is running its course and being replaced by dei. But there is room enough in the right wing's head for both since God knows there's nothing else in there.

What's going to be fun is in 2032 when Trump's going into his fourth term and all these old fucking farts who sold us out so they could freak out about trans girls in sports and drag queens reading books lose $500 a month of social security money and become homeless.

I know they will just blame Joe Biden but at this point I'm not waiting for them to wake up anymore I just want them to fuck off. The problem is they didn't die fast enough they were able to destroy our democracy. A couple of drugs basically kept old people alive for too long and they're mean and they're nasty because even though they're alive they aren't any smarter if anything they're dumber because of age-related cognitive decline and as you get old you hurt a lot so you get angry and frustrated and you want to take your frustrations out on the people you see the most which is for these baby boomer trash usually some minority or another who had nothing to do with their current predicaments.

Basically what I'm saying is old people suck. We know old people suck. Traditionally not a lot of people made it to the point where they were old enough to suck that much. But now that we're keeping these fuckers alive this long they can really really fuck up everything with their incredible stupidity. I mean you're dealing with people who write it a fourth grade level when they were at their peak and now they've had decades of age related cognitive decline and they're still out there and mother fucking they vote.

Initially I thought it was just the older Gen x that doomed us but I gather that when the numbers were actually fully tallied about 70% of baby boomers voted for Trump. And the Reagan democrats can fuck right off. The I got mine fuck you crowd they are just nicer about it.

Not that the American left is making me terribly happy. They're so fucking useless. I mean I guess being useless is better than doing damage but still...

The inability for America to comprehend nuance is starting to really piss me off.

Yeah we're not all immediately going to lose our jobs.

That's not the problem. The problem is we already are in a scenario where we have two good jobs for every five people. A good job here is something that lets you afford a one-bedroom apartment by yourself in a city that consistently has employment.

Oh here is where a bunch of people dig up lower cost apartments and places with little or no economic activity or job opportunities... Because every time I point out the reality of the economy somebody suddenly digs up a statistic out of context to prove what we all see with our own two fucking eyes isn't real because gas lighting is a thing. Also the president is a pedophile and they voted for him and they would really like to forget about that...

Anyway getting back on track, a small reduction in the number of available jobs that pay people enough to be functioning adults will have a huge impact on our consumer-based economy. Already the only people in the economy who have any disposable income to speak of or the baby boomers who got all the socialism from the New deal and the Great society before pulling the ladder up behind them because Ronald Reagan is so fucking awesome and Orange temu Ronald Reagan is even more awesome.

We have a major crisis coming in addition to all the others like the water shortages and the AI data centers driving up the cost of electricity and everything else and the fact that we've given so much money to the 1% that we can no longer function as a country...

In addition to all of that when the baby boomers die in a few years there isn't going to be enough jobs that pay enough to have disposable income to drive our economy or even our tax base. We're going to have to start cutting police and fire. And it's going to be a lot of desperate jobless young men showing up at your door armed to the teeth because we may not have food and shelter and medicine but by God we've got guns. All of us have guns. Including those desperate young men you abandoned because fuck those guys right? Bootstraps and something.

It doesn't take very many job losses from automation when we have already had 50 years of non-stop automation devouring jobs that nobody likes to talk about. Go Google the phrase 70% of middle class jobs lost to automation since 1980 and you can find the study assuming your Google isn't broken. For some reason every time I point all this out a bunch of people whose Google is broken ask for sources.

And this is why I hate americans. It has to either be every single one of us loses our job immediately tomorrow to a robot we all die in the streets or nobody loses our jobs and we don't have to think about anything on any of the complex interactions between gradual job losses due to automation and the inability to feed a consumer-based economy.

It's like how morons keep asking who is going to buy their products if we none of us have jobs. They don't want to sell us products they want us to go away and die so that they can have everything for themselves. They hate you and they want you to die. It's like none of you people saw the utter disdain and disgust in mitt Romney's face every time he interact it with regular people on the campaign trail back then.

Then again the current president is pretty good at hiding his contempt for you and when he lets it show like when he called the people in the army suckers the news media just moves on and pretends it didn't happen so...

It's frustrating cuz I'm sitting here trapped on this fucking train with all you morons and I can see the other train coming at us and I'm like hey guys maybe we should do something about that and everybody's like it's not going fast enough so it's fine. Then again there's also a bit of I got mine fuck you from all the old farts floating around here who think they're going to die before the shit hits the fan. And you absolutely do not believe in hell because with the shit you've done to your kids yeah if there's a help every one of you fuckers is going there.

And since I'm ranting fuck Reagan democrats too. Your grandpa who voted Democrat voted for Ronald Reagan and for Democrats who are right of Ronald Reagan. He was not a Democrat he was a fucking Dino. And he won't admit it but he voted for Trump at least once probably all three times.

Just a friendly reminder that when the baby boomers die in the next few years because those rapacious motherfuckers took all the money and they're taking 70% of it with them to the grave spending it on the healthcare system they ruined if they don't blow it on RVs and cheap booze that our entire economy is not going to have enough consumers to sustain it.

Now if you're one of those baby boomers who's going to be rotting in hell sure go right ahead. You got yours fuck everybody else.

Remember that I got mine fuck you is the baby boomer slogan. That and make America great again.

But if you don't just drop dead then there isn't going to be enough taxpayer dollars to fund the massive militarized police system that's been keeping all those desperate people from showing up at your door. Let alone the social programs that have given them just enough food so they think they might have something to lose.

And you're going to run out of bullets before the world runs out of desperate people with nothing to lose.

But like I said if you're pretty old and most of us are you will probably drop dead before the consequences of your actions actually directly affect you. Maybe. Kind of depends on your age and genetics. I guess you're going to find out.

Getting back to how much you like being lied to, again there is a propaganda Network feeding you that line and you are willfully sloping it up like a pig at a trough. Why? Literally a few minutes on Google and you can find the government backed statistics that tell you degrees awarded by Major and you can see that there is a very tiny handful of people getting degrees that do not have an immediate productive economic purpose. Everything else is people doing work and a bunch of teachers. And you need teachers for your fucking crotch fruit.

If you actually use the site it has tons of technical problems. Also they completely eliminated all the manual moderation.

Twitter has a major problem. So the US Republican party are basically nazis. I don't say that as some dumb edgy insult I mean it. They are active fascists with a heavy emphasis on racism. This is not up for debate it's just a brute fact. We all know what the southern strategy is and we all know that the Republican party routinely engages in voter suppression.

Now the US Republican party would like to give you some plausible deniability so that when you are angry at the Democrats for not fixing the problems caused by the Republicans you will continue the vote for the Republicans and they can cause more problems for you. This is the cycle of American politics that we have been trapped in since Richard Nixon.

So Republicans use dog whistles. That is to say they blurt out incredibly racist and fascist things but they say it in a way that is not obvious to people who don't follow politics.

The problem is automatic moderation tools that exist to ban Nazis going on about the Jews and calling for extermination and whatnot will quickly draw the connections between the dog whistles that is sitting US senator or member of the House says and what the open neo-nazis are saying. You can't fold those algorithms they're too well written.

This meant that the algorithms kept banning major Republican politicians for being Nazis and we can't have that because those people have a lot of money and power.

But the advertisers don't want the out in the open Nazis because they are bad for business. Those guys turn off consumers and you don't want your brand associated with them. Look up the YouTube adpocalypse to see what happens when the advertisers find out that they're brands are sitting next to guys like Nick Fuentes.

So Twitter needed an army of moderators to keep the obvious Nazis off while keeping the less obvious Nazis on.

Musk fired those so now Twitter is Nazi City. This makes it basically impossible to engage with Twitter in any useful manner which means they can't do data acquisition and they can't throw advertisements in the people's eyeballs because all of that depends on massive amounts of engagement.

That means Twitter is basically useless to any advertiser except for scam artists and sure enough Twitter is full of scams and nothing else. The scam artists cannot pay very much so Twitter is constantly bleeding cash. That's fine though because it's mostly being used as a propaganda tool to keep people from questioning why a man with no technical skills who has repeatedly failed to meet promises and whose cars have killed several people because of faulty Lane assist features being sold as self-driving gets to be a trillionaire.

Nerds meanwhile see musk is one of their own when he's nothing of the sort. Yeah he's kind of weird and creepy like a lot of us are but in our case that's through no fault of our own and mostly an accident of birth musk worked to get that creepy and weird.

All this means that yeah the website doesn't constantly experience full crashes but it breaks all the time and is basically unusable for anything except of message board you do a single post too that nobody replies to except box and Nazis.

Previously there was a shitload of really good journalism being done on Twitter Believe it or not. And naturally all of that is dead. Not to mention all the other useful features that were taken away.

So no you can't just fire your whole staff. Any other company that wasn't just being propped up so that it could be used for propaganda by right wing extremist fascists would have immediately collapsed after cutting that staff.

Remember Twitter did not pay off all the debt it took on for the buyout. It transferred that debt to other companies that Elon Musk owns and then a complicated series of stock maneuvers took that that and put it into your 401K retirement plan.

There are tons of other companies everywhere in the world except America that could pretty rapidly build ram manufacturing capacity. India could do it. Same with Vietnam. And of course Taiwan.

Some of it will probably make its way into apples computers albeit through illegal supply chain shenanigans. None of it will be designed to protect national security or the consumer it'll be about maintaining the big three triopoly.

And we will somehow keep voting for the same imbeciles who do this to us every year either because they're really good at pushing our buttons or because we somehow fall for the overwhelming amount of propaganda.

I don't necessarily blame somebody for falling for the propaganda you can't just decide to be smarter. Hell I wish I could just turn up my IQ points at times but I can't. Some people can't see past propaganda anymore than I can understand particle physics.

Even if you make the argument that one of the eight fired a gun that might have hit a cop you've still got to contend with the other seven who were just at a protest and are now rotting in prison until the day they die unless a Democrat president happens to pardon them, either that or they can come up with a couple million dollars each to buy a pardon from Trump.

I guess what I'm getting at here is you already gave up your civil rights. Or if you didn't then your neighbor did for you.

It is possible you will get them back in two or three years. But is it stands right now you have absolutely no civil rights in this country. At any moment the current administration and the courts they packed with corrupt judges could decide you're a terrorist and you're off to Federal pound me in the ass prison for the rest of your life contingent on the Democrats winning an election and having the political Capital available to pardon you.

So it's not even news that some guy who tried to exercise a basic civil right is going to jail now. If he gets off it will be because he lucked into the unique combination of a judge that wasn't corrupt and a jury who can read above a fourth grade level. And those aren't odds I would want to take.
