  • the world is now gripped in the great struggle between democracy and fascist disassembly with the worlds only superpower squarely onside with a criminal fascist government of russia with no regard for human life even of it’s own citizens, with Billions of real lives on the line all around the world, a great many of us will be fighting over tinned beans and rainwater in the next years, there is nothing boring about being able to prepare yourself to keep your family and loved ones as protected as you can, with forewarning, and kite surfing ain’t gonna do that. fishing will become more and more useful though, that’s a good one.



  • I do not hold with this, at all. After leaving Twitter two years ago, and going to Mastodon, and Mbin, when the world started to come to an end three weeks ago, when Trump flipped to making the US and ally of Russia against the world, I needed to be plugged in, so with years of reservations against supporting anything fucking Jack was involved in (he’s still the largest single shareholder of bluesky stock, so fuck off telling me he stepped away from the board), I finally signed up for Bluesky, because when shit is going down, I don’t need to be browsing some lefty tankie currated community for realtime news, I need to be jacked in to the widest collective there is, so I can parse and disseminate information for every source possible.










  • downvote it, moderate it, do whatever you like, politics doesn’t exist in a vaccum, every action has an opposite reaction. now, ukraine, as good as gone, trump is backing whatever putin wants, gaza going to be turned into trump casinos, hundreds of thoursands of real live human beings deprived of life saving safe food, clean water, and medications because usaid simply shuttered, the world economy about to suffer the worst depression since the 1920’s due to trumps reciprocal tarrifs, death and suffering on a scale no one has ever seen before.

    elections matter, there was a binary choice between the coninuation of democracy under kamala harris and fascist dissasembly under donald trump, and democratic youth didn’t show up, and the lemmy crowd still, even now, won’t admit why that might have been the case
