    There was period of time during Trump’s last administration where the world just got so crazy I had a collection of screenshots of “not the onion” headlines that just seemed too insane to be real.

    I remember one was like “Judge determines woman can’t prove she didn’t want to be set on fire.”

    This would fit in nicely.

      Huh…I’m trying to think of what legal defense you could give to PROVE you didn’t want to be set on fire.

      I can’t think of one. What do you say that proves it? Which means I get how that headline happened, but also…how did THAT headline happen???

        The only thing I can think of is that there was some sort of event where other people were being willingly set on fire. Like if were some sort of performance that went wrong, I could see there being a reasonable defense that the performer didn’t know she didn’t want to participate.

        Most of the time when weird questions like that involving consent come up, I assume it probably involved some kind of sex thing.

    I always assumed America would swiftly deal with a racist fascist criminal megalomaniac.

    Boy was I wrong.

    This nation is WEAK.

      Well instead of dealing with their fascist problem after WWII, they decided to repress (and sometimes kill) the most reliable antifascists - the leftists.

      That said some countries that objectively did purge their fasists seem to still have that problem today. Perhaps the theory that capitalism creates fascism as it declines predicts this.

        Capitalism creates an environment of fear and danger and promotes of level of individual responsibility that alienates people from everyone else. Even people who are well off today are afraid of losing advantages and being hung out to dry by the very same uncaring system they keep supporting.

      Turns out conservatives were just waiting for one evil and horrible enough all along.

      And the Democrats… Jesus Christ are they useless. They roll over at the very sound of a stuff breeze.

    Trump always had this knack of revealing his intentions when he thought he could just hit back at people.

    That’s nothing new.

    But what he reveals is indeed getting worse every day, or at least: every day of 2025 it is much worse than before that.

    This, ladies and germs, is narcissistic dictatorial megalomania. Let’s hope it he won’t last long.

      Any asshole posting about a “general strike” with no support fund and no organization of their strikers is a fed.

          Sorry, nothing personal. I’ve seen images posted a lot. This is the first time I saw a website, but that’s even worse.

          Strikes take a lot of planning and coordination. You need to be able to support your strikers so that they’ll be able to outlast Capital until your demands are met. One of the main purposes of unions is to save a “war chest” to do this.

          If I and a bunch of my Internet buddies tried to strike, the first problem is that we’d each be the only striker at our workplaces…our bosses would just fire us and go on with their day.
