  • The right is 100% going to win by election in 4 years unless they ROYALLY screw up. The dems are going to do absolutely nothing of material value over the next 4 years, and all the right has to do is get up there and hammer that home. Which they do anyways. Assuming the democrats DO actually accomplish anything, the right just has to get up there and talk about how that thing is communist and how it’s destroying America. Which they do anyways.

    So that leaves 2 options. Both of which result in dems losing:

    Option 1: We get another Trump like in 4-8 years, but this time they’re competent, and America collapses into fascism

    100% this. Yesterday proved just how easy it would be to pull off a right wing coup here in America. This felt like a test run. If Trump wasn’t so stupid and worried about his ego, he could’ve totally pulled this off. Those people yesterday had the backing of police and half of the GOP supporting them. Somewhere out there, there’s another fascist like Trump who is vowing not to make the same mistakes.

    Yesterday also proved how useless liberals are and I hope people now realize it when they go on and on about “radicalizing libs”. Amidst a coup, they’ll just get on Twitter and whine, moan and cry in the same smug, condescending way that they love. They’ll make ‘white privilege’ trend as a hash tag and try to explain away that what’s going on, totally isn’t the result of the system, and all we need to do is vote for another status quo loving neoliberal to get back to normal. Then sit there and wonder why the cops are protecting fascists and aren’t arresting them.


  • Biden said a few weeks ago after the checks were removed from the relief bill that the government wasn’t supposed to help people and no one should ask for a hand out .Several Dems came out this week to use conservative talking points about how “it’s too much” and “a hand out”.

    I can tell you this from yesterday, my entire family will probably never vote Democrat again. We’re all poor and the thought of $2,000 to pay off debt and get some help, that is a great deal to them. All I heard yesterday was how shocked they were that Trump of all people offered this. “This is what Democrats should be doing. This is what I used to vote for them in hopes that they would do. How did anyone truly think Joe Biden of all people was going to help us?” that was the words of my uncle who quit voting for them after the 90s.





  • Skipped Halo cause I really know nothing about those games. I remember when they first came out but didn’t have an XBox or any friends who had them. I lived with a roommate who played COD and I was able to witness that with a front row seat. He thought I was crazy wanting to play “old shit” FPS games rather than COD when it was newer at the time.



  • These games have always been propaganda to recruit into the military. I have been playing Doom pretty much my whole life. It’s probably my favorite game of all time and a few years ago when talking about Doom with a friend, I realized something with how fucked FPS games have been since Call of Duty. My friend said “Doom is so great cause it puts you on Mars and you are blowing up demons and zombies. That’s better than murdering brown people overseas in some war simulation game”. I never thought of it like that and it hit me. Most early FPS games from the 90s like Doom, Quake, Turok and Duke Nukem 3D had you fighting demons, aliens, robots, zombies and in a more fantasy like setting. FPS games became military propaganda shit after 9/11.




  • California’s prison system is probably the worst in the entire country.

    They have completely segregated prisons by race and gang affiliation. Their prisons have always had a lot of inner politics with the gangs and inmates, cause the wardens and COs are notorious for playing them against one another with their yard politics and escalating violent tensions (this is also how drugs are often smuggled into prisons more often than not. With all their super tight security with visitors, it ain’t getting in from that. It’s COs and Wardens hustling). If there is anything I learned from Big Herc and his Fresh Out/Prison Talk videos, it’s that.

    Furthering on, they have built so many prisons in California that in the past 20 years, they’ve been moving the for-profit run ones out of state with California prisoners. These are the prisons built usually out in the middle of nowhere, in a de-industrialized rural small town somewhere in Utah or Nevada. The prison becomes the main source of a steady job in that local community and it beats having to work at a dollar store or McDonalds for shit wages, hence why a lot of people in these small towns will end up going into police academy and working to become a CO. It’s easier for them to get employed at for-profit prisons cause they’re ran like walmarts.

    And last but not least; the forced labor in California, indeed is as bad as a southern prison. They are probably worse than Louisiana when it comes to that.
