  • I feel like a lot of the comments are kind of proving the point. If we say we don’t like Biden, then suddenly everyone assumes we aren’t voting and therfore are helping Trump. In reality, the meme literally says nothing about voting. That’s everyone else jumping to that conclusion.

    “I’m just reminding everyone!”

    Don’t worry. We all know how elections work.

    “I don’t care if you don’t like him! I care about votes!”

    Cool. Then let me not like him.

    I do have to come to homeboys defense. She heard bussy and though he was picturing a twink. While that’s fine and dandy if that’s what he’s into, maybe he was actually thinking about bears. Sounds like she’s the issue cause she thinks we can only be twinks. My beard says otherwise.









  • Same. The Republicans have been insulting anyone who doesn’t stand with them on everything. They claim to be able to criticize Biden, but holy shit am I tired of being insulted for not agreeing with him on genocide. They just continue to push everyone away. So while I am also voting, a part of me doesn’t blame those who are done and not bothering. They want everyone sit down, shut up, never expect to get anything we want, but then to also vote? Kind of fucked.

    All the more reason for the means of production to be done by the people and not a few select individuals who then buy off the government, thus making them corrupt. We can even go full communist with a stateless, classless, and moneyless society. You can even double down and support anarchy, which is a leftist ideology.


  • Ph yeah, no, I agree with that part. But the part about people waiting till they’re old and then demanding. That part is something we are doing now. We just want people to be taken care of in general. It shouldn’t have to be a worry for anyone of any age.

    But I do agree that those who are lucky enough to be able to save should save. Cause even if shit gets crazy, having something to help you will be better than living in an apartment with nothing. Either way it’s a win.



  • Because things were getting worse. And they’re still getting worse. And they will continue to get worse. We have charts and graphs and studies for a lot of different things showing things were getting worse, and have only continued to do so. Like the cost of living didn’t just steadily go up with a steady inflation. It’s been a curve. And then the last few years fucked us pretty bad.

    Climate change. Still getting hotter. Still not slowing down enough. Some places are doing their parts, but places like here in the US, we aren’t doing nearly enough. And a lot of the stuff we are doing ends up on backfiring because of capitalism. For instance, California banned the single use plastic bags. But a lot of reusable bags are plastic. The law is the bag needs to be a certain thickness and be advertised as reusable… So places just made thicker bags. And then people still throw them away. So each bag is now more plastic than before.

    So yes. They gave us a warning. Things got worse.

    So we got a second warning. Things still got worse.

    Then rather than shutting up as you would prefer, they gave us another warning. Still getting worse.




  • We aren’t asking for tax payers money to take care of us in the way you’re thinking. We are asking for universal basic needs. For the young and the old. Healthcare, housing, etc. To move past capitalism. Especially since we are already seeing the issues popping up. People are already starting to work later in life to pay the bills. We are already seeing a surge in elderly homelessness. Of people not being able to pass down anything in inheritance because they have health issues and need to stay in a facility which takes everything from them.

    We aren’t waiting to say “Now that we are older take care of us”

    We are currently saying the system is broken now.
