We were doing this regularly as a matter of policy with illegal immigrants until…let me check my notes…the 2020’s.

I don’t support much of anything Russia has ever done, but this is not a point where we have any moral high ground over them whatsoever.

Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?

Have you tried just being a goose?

It’s legitimately cool that buying a new car and having any self-respect whatsoever are mutually exclusive now.

Fuck cars.

Have you tried just living in your cubicle and having them take rent out of your paycheck?

It’s a joke, not a character analysis.

You’re way overthinking it. He and his followers are hardcore capitalists, and to them, property crimes are the worst kind of crime you can commit.

That’s kind of the point, though. The fact that you can’t just…live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.

You think you were, but you weren’t, because radiation doesn’t work like carcinogens do.

He looks like a kitten with a bad case of worms.

I don’t think Jason Vorhees has ever lied to me.

But did he ever make a perfect phone call?

I don’t have a solution for this catastrophic injustice all over the world

I sure do, but I’m not about to get put on a watchlist for suggesting it.

Living things > inanimate objects.

We’ve destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.

How the fuck is vetting the ads on their platform “policing” people?

Being such a monster that your subordinates, who happily participated in your illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, have to physically assault you to stop your crimes against humanity isn’t having checks and balances.

The Vulture was objectively the good guy.

When literally every expert and every shred of credible evidence agrees that it’s hopeless, pretending it isn’t hopeless is just going to leave you unprepared, and you’ll end among the first of the dead when the collapse happens and leads to long term global famine.

It takes an incredibly childish and naive view of the world to believe that the entire world is going to suddenly come together to meaningfully reduce emissions in the forseeable future. That’s very literally the only possible solution, and it cannot possibly happen.

That sounds pretty cool. Too many people would just decide “this land isn’t profitable enough anymore, time to sell it to a developer.”

If you really want to to some good with that land, although it won’t make you any money, turn it back into a native natural habitat, or at least sell it to someone who will agree to do the same. The world is never going to improve without landowners who are willing to restore their developed land back to its natural state.

Making yourself feel good enough to ignore the shithole our society has become doesn’t fix anything. Denying reality is foolish as fuck and actively makes it worse.
