Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.
Agree. But it’s the society they want. They voted for it. They (allegedly) won the last election. A society where an educated, intelligent Black man can rule over them, FOR TWO TERMS, is as horrific for them, as *all this* is to us. So, then what? Think. What do we do?
More than half of Americans hate the criminal trump organization. That’s why California must stop Trump by doing what Texas is doing, but better.
They can’t even do cool looking evil shit. Just a bunch of cringe nerdy evil ugly ass shit
he's got the good ole mierdas touch
merde
Their end game is owning all the land and the resulting oil and mineral rights. It is ultimately all about the money and power. The idiot class is backing the demise of the American way of life and paving the way for authoritarian rule and the loss of freedom as prescribed in the US Constitution

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven is their thinking
The silver lining to becoming a slave is there's a clear path to a Gladiator arc in that.
sometimes i imagine snippets from the internet traveling through time. or like old school sci fi, someone in the 50s invents a machine that can see through time but only tiny random snippets. and i contemplate how confused they would be by something like this. #philipkdickwouldwritethis

The movie Idiocracy was before its time…..
I’m basically on this site to share this post because I don’t think it can be said in a clearer or more concise way. bsky.app/profile/norm...
This tracks. So many of them just want to be cool. Have a parade. Don tactical gear and go on missions. Have world leaders pay homage and flattery. Fight the bad guys. Win intellectual arguments against the dummies. Be cool. And they fail because they fundamentally dont understand how cool works
That's why they use propaganda to try and redefine it
The thing is, even if they change the rules and make it illegal to think they're not cool, they still won't be cool. And deep down they know it.
Which, honestly is a feeling I can relate to. Like some incel level doomerism that people won't like me no matter what. Always be a throwaway expendable guy, and that sucks. But holy shit we are approaching this problem very differently.
Come to think of it, their lack of empathy maps onto this too. It's hard to have empathy for someone you think is worthless. And thinking something is cool requires having respect for it on some level. Their cool radar is totally off because they disrespect so much.
Ich denke, du hast Recht, @beekohl.bsky.social, das ist ein ziemlich direkter Aufruf. Aber ich frage mich, ob wir wirklich in einer Welt ohne Caesars leben wollen?
Its honestly so god damned embarrassing
Preach!
Yep. What sort of world do you want to live in? In the end, it all boils down to this question.
This is what happens when the people in the country who think that pro wrestling is REAL get the leaders of their choice.
You could watch a bunch of different college sex comedies and understand the allegedly very complicated mindset that all of these people have in its entirety.

It boils down to the patriarchy.
The top 1% wanted to experience a cool cyberpunk future & ended up creating the dumbest one ever. "Oh, I can't use my toothbrush if it isn't connected to my wifi," "My fridge's AI companion gave me the wrong recipe for pound cake," "The fingerprint scanner at wal-mart broke so I can't use my WIC"

Sounds like a new slogan for Kat. “For gawds sake people, don’t let it suck even worse.”
Been saying they are all just carnies and think the carnival is the height of man’s creations.
For people like me the old society sucked too. This new one though, is brutal, sadistic, even more exploitive, and universally horrific. I never thought I'd look back wistfully on post-Reagan America. 🙃
If only they would institute trial by combat and someone could take him out in Thunderdome
man, I don't even know if they have a vision of a society. they just are so angry that other people had better lives for a tiny bit of time that they want to trash the whole thing. squat as kings of the garbage heap
Yes, there’s a group with a plan—to destroy to make money (tech) or get total authoritarian control (Christian right). Then there’s this other group that simply hates everything and wants to destroy things for that reason. Then another that loves trolling. Adds up to much destruction and chaos.
I think you nailed it. Sadly.
I always thought those kinds of villains were unrealistic in fiction. Shows what I know :(.
It's not just you. If I wrote something like this years ago, it would've been slammed for being unbelievable. It's continually unbelievable. It's very hard to even parody anything right now.
So angry about the price of "muh eggs" that they stopped talking about them immediately after he was elected...almost as if it was never the source of their miserable existence after all
Yeah, it's just people who get a charge out of having unaccountable power over others, knowing they can do stuff that pisses others off and they can't do anything back. A society run by sadists. There's very little real vision to most of these guys. And what vision there is, is distopian.
crabs in a bucket they don't know how to make or do anything good so they just drag everyone else back down into their shit
Back to the Future tried to warn us
Join ICE, save your culture WTF is that messaging
This one.
And we’re not allowed not to like it! We have to say it’s great, or else!
Nah. It sucks iguana ass and we can all say it.
My entire life the Right has been scheming to overthrow the administrative state, undo civil freedoms, and install the KKK to rule the blue states like a fifedom. Look who played the long game, and who told us we were over reacting.
It’s frustrating to remember all that rhetoric spilled on behalf of the feelings and wishes of people who were out to completely destroy the society built over generations and harm virtually everyone. And they still do it—lecturing us to tolerate Nazi ideology and naked brutality on innocents.
They hate the civilization that has rejected them over and over again. They want to destroy it.
It’s a society that places unearned massive wealth and unremarkable white males with an inability to feel empathy at the forefront in an effort to gain admiration and respect from those who would never give it to them otherwise.
The cage fights actually sound pretty dope. But only if the participants are establishment ghouls.
This is what happens when the ignorant, sadistic, dishonest and greedy don’t get the education, counseling, punishment and shunning they deserve and instead are handed the reigns of society and government.
Well said.
It’s wild to do a thought experiment of, “What if Donald Trump wasn’t the worst person in America? How great could we actually be?”
I’ve often wondered over the past decade of Trumpism - could he have gotten away with doing good things the way he has gotten away with doing bad things? Probably not.
That’s an interesting point. There definitely would’ve been pushback, but if it was genuinely good things, people would be behind him and he’d be even more unstoppable. It’s too bad he chose to use his cult-powers for evil and self-enrichment rather than benefitting American people, as he claims.
this would have undermined the entire basis of his support, which is dominating and humiliating the other. it's a "what if your grandmother was a bike" type question
If he had really leaned into doing good, someone with better aim likely would have materialized.
david foster wallace undersold the future
Dude. I've been saying it for 10 years. I went back and re-read Infinite Jest before he was inaugurated in 2017.
The idea of a right wing “utopia” is literally hell for most people.
Well, I'm not a loser, and I'm not going to accept it.
The "Idocracy is here" joke is becoming a cliche, but every time someone reminds me of the whole MMA Fight on the White House Lawn I can't help thinking about the Monster Truck Rally scene.
Funny, because Trump's pathetic military parade brought this to mind for me:
I just want to walk around smacking all these fools in the back of the head.
Its so depressing that the losers, though smaller in number, are somehow prevailing.

No one on the left is organizing very effectively and some of the protest tactics they’re using aren’t actually protest tactics The catsonacouch lady had people sending sarcastic thank you notes to JD Vance One that won’t touch him Two now his staff can say he got dozens or hundreds of messages
of support from a solidly Dem state (MA) Everyone is much too complacent and comfortable waiting for midterms I keep saying pretend you’re French France’d have a new constitution & be on their 6th republic by now But a lot of goofy people think they’re making ‘good trouble’ and it’s like no this
is not even real organization or protesting. Like not even a little bit. I have no idea why people aren’t clocking that this is an existential crisis for things like workers’ and women’s and minorities’ rights in the US
To say it is infuriating & embarrassing is such an understatement at this point. When is the next nationwide protest/rally?
Wild how the people screaming freedom are the first to design a society where no one’s actually free. 🤦♂️
The repulsiveness of this group is off the charts. I mean, someone really has to have dredged the bottom of a particularly nasty cesspool to produce them.
The only thing this administration wants to come out of the closet is
👱🏻♂️ “Let’s watch, dystopian movies, and mistake them for recipe books.”
Somehow we've been convinced the worst people were unfairly left behind and so now they deserve to run things.
First match, RFK against a bear, Kirsty Noem (such a weird name, of course there's no M in Kirsty) against a pack of rabid dogs, and Pete Hegseth has to fight off people trying to pull him from a vat of whiskey
It feels like the Giant is still sleeping. If you aren’t paying attention you have no clue what’s going on. The media has failed or was co-opted or more likely sold out. If you don’t search for info you only see what you seek or are fed algorithmically. Once people see it, hope it’s not too late.
Even their Potemkin villages are fucking shitholes.
First Draft of Idiocracy that got thrown out for being too mean and depressing.
For the past I dunno 5+ years I just keep quietly muttering to myself..I don't want to live in the world they are making, and doing small silly rebellions like buying all my music, or just like.. never buying a new phone. I just don't want to live in the shitty ass world these technofascists want.
FUCK TRUMP
Obama’s 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech was more prophecy than joke.
Yeah I saw this in 1989 when I went to see Back to the Future Part II.
Both of those were warnings by way of comedy, because Trump was popular in 1989 and 2011 and he has always been like this.
Shortest State of the Union speech in recorded history. And probably one of the most truthful. Apart from the accidental omission of the ending of the rule of law and democracy.
The idea that anyone thinks that a “Green Dildo Coin” will be worth any value to any person doing anything at all is a sign that we’re beyond any form of parody now.
"Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn." Wait ... wut?
I can’t believe the two things I just shared are real. Or rather, dont want to.
I saw the paved over thing, but the fight thing is a new for me LOL
I assumed so, but figured I’d provide sources for both just in case lol
