  • I think it’s Capitalism.

    More people need to refuse enacting the jobs we all know are ruining the world.

    If you’re building anything for a billionaire, from a mine, to a yatch, to a compound, to an AI data center: FUCKING QUIT LOUDLY.

    …and we need more jobs in areas tht help the world. Planting plants, checking wildlife, doing pollution checks, checking workplaces are obeying the laws and regulations, putting uo solar panels, designing and business parks, hospitals, homes, and schools.

    Perhaps most importantly if you’re starting a business doing these things. I know that hierarchical Capitalism isn’t good or ideal, but ultimately it’s driving a lot of the horrible things in the world, from lobbying to AI, and we have to turn that shit around somehow too.

    “Getting involved” can’t just be about protesting or “stopping the bad direction” - at some point we need to go in the good direction too.




  • If it’s a failed MMS message that produces the results you could probably do that with any old image, rather than one that could specifically be construde as sexual harassment.

    Also “penis as weapon” and “black men as exotic sexual body-objects” might not be tropes/meme-thinking you want to perpetuate in the world.

    Plenty of other images that suggest penises don’t have to be aggressive implements, and small dicked regular black dudes who are just regular people are a thing too.

    Maybe penises surrounded by flowers, or penises dressed in silly miniture costumes.




  • I don’t know how feminist I’d consider him. As I recall, he and Stephen Fry both drifted right in their politics over the past decade or so:

    “the problem with American communism, which is woke, is better described as American Marxism. And what it is is instead of trying to redistribute wealth, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do, they want to redistribute status. And that is a recipe for fucking madness” -Jimmy Carr

    Stephen Fry ended up praising Jordan Peterson or some such, Carr started talking anti-woke politics on podcasts after being “cancelled” by a heckler.

    From a student news website:

    “Jimmy Carr has built his career on his deliberately offensive style of comedy – nothing is off limits and nobody is safe. His new special, aptly-titled His Dark Material, is supposed to epitomise this ethos, as Carr spends an hour bombarding his audience with endless quips about hipsters, vegans, gingers, women (including his own girlfriend, who sounds like a very lucky lady), victims of sexual abuse, little people, and anybody else he feels hasn’t been at the receiving end of enough grief lately. His pièce de resistance comes in the form of a section at the end of the special filled with jokes Carr brazenly calls his “career enders”, in which he says that few people know about the fact that an estimated half a million Roma people were murdered during the Holocaust because nobody wants to “talk about the positives”. One man’s suffering is another man’s slapstick.”

    He tried to defend the Holocaust joke by saying it brings attention to non-jewish victims of the Holocaust which earned him every comedians highest achievement when going anti-woke - being defended by Jeremy Clarkson.




  • If Greenland becomes a super power with nuclear weapons, they could fire those nukes at the entire US… Wherever you live, this could effect you. You could say Greenland may be the greatest threat the world has ever seen, posing as a small incapable region of Denmark.

    This is why I have decided to preemptively send troops and private oil companies in to stop this. I’m calling it my big beautiful invasion, it’s gonna be peaceful and we’re gonna make them pay for it.

    Guess who’s gonna pay me to invade them? I have all these guys, big business guys, they’re oil guys so they’re all really rich… And they’re saying to me “Mr. Trump! Mr.Trump! It’s okay Mr. Trump, we’ll pay for it”.

    I’m kidding! He doesn’t talk this way anymore. These days he gurgles and sounds like a dementia patient who just shat his pants…

    …because he’s a dementia patient who’s just shat his pants. He’s also ALWAYS BEEN an overtly corrupt insider. Voters just didn’t realize it because they were upset at the establishment system and desperately wanted something different!


  • Someone who doesn’t even have the balls to name and shame the forum won’t be able to do anything. But in all honesty, comedy is the only thing that works.

    The alt-right innately functions on relief.

    They thrive off people feeling disgruntled and under represented by the system, feeling overlooked and alienated. People who have grievances.

    …and then they provide those people with an identity, community, and a sense that someone is listening and will represent them.

    That person is usually seen as a capable outsider who bucks the system and “gets them” showing this by being charismatic and funny. Someone who swims in the same waters/thoughts as them.

    You’d have to break and replace all that, show them who “their guy” really is whilst being funnier and more charismatic. It’s really tough to do and will need more than just one person.
