it’s straight up voter intimidation.
This shit needs to stop.
“Conservative activists are being safely removed from society into prison ships that will orbit Neptune until they die of being so angry,” would be a pleasant follow-up headline.
Have you seen the carbon footprint of a rocket launch?
I’d rather compost. Let their anger feed kids. Literally.
Yep. That protein could be put to much, much better use.
Have you seen the carbon footprint of a rocket launch?
I have seen the carbon footprint of humanity, and I don’t expect it to go down.
That’s Mostly due to the ultra-rich.
Judging any population by the actions of 1-10% of its worst members is bad statistics and bigoted even if you happen to belong to it yourself.

I judge humanity by the outcomes of human actions. And it’s not looking good. You blame who you want, it won’t stop your descendants from being harmed.

That’s bigot logic. Might as well say that all bald people are villains just because Jeff Bezos is bald.
You blame who you want, it won’t stop your descendants from being harmed.
On the contrary: blaming all of humanity doesn’t help anyone in any way.
Pinpointing who are the worst offenders and what can be done to rein them in is the first step to actually effecting meaningful change to save millions if not billions of lives.

Why would I try to help humanity? You’re human, right? And are you someone who I want to talk to?
You’re calling me ‘bigoted’ for being autistic and seeing the world objectively. It is objectively the case that human actions have consequences, and those human actions are fault. You pretend to make the world better by being unpleasant. It’s sad, and I want no part of it.
So the death penalty and mass graves? Uhhhh
Of course not. Just mass graves. If they don’t want to die in them, the body has ways of shutting that down.
Not conservatives. Fascists.
They’re the same picture.jpg
The thing I almost hate most about all this is how asymmetric the tactics are. I mean, us non-fascists could do the same thing, but it wouldn’t help us, and would only hurt us and help them instead. And this is just one of a dozen different things they’ve been doing that selectively play only to their advantage (obstructing Congress, spreading FUD about election integrity, using bad-faith rhetorical tactics, etc.). It’s like they have a structural advantage that I, at least, don’t know how to negate or overcome.
It’s always easier to destroy than it is to build.
Except legos.
Well, there’s an exception to every rule.
Except this rule
