I used to kind of be against tax evasion, after passage of the big bunch of bullshit bill I’m philosophically on the side of small time federal tax evaders. Nobody should be funding this government and its massive hand jibber program for the rich. The federal tax code has completely become a way to redistribute money upwards.

Hah, joke is on you. I’m balding and I’ve paid off my mortgage.

People still don’t get that being anti “cancel culture” was cover for being pro sex pest the entire time.
A lot of dumb assholes fought for the right for powerful and rich people to behave with impunity without even the possibility of the minor admonishment of being known as a creep and have people boycott your products or being pressured to step down from public political positions in disgrace.
Similarly, the fight against “wokeness” is the fight to remove decency toward minority groups from the cultural sphere where we had at least a veneer of progress, leaving us with very little to no progress at all. (Because it’s certainly not the case that any real progress against racist, unjust institutions has occurred in the last ten years.)

Anker Soundcores is what I bought. They were a prime day deal (shudders) but I was on a free trial that I just canceled.

People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.
I just bought a pair of anc earbuds for fun because I have a better set of anc headphones already. They sound way better than I expect or need and they were literally $25.
aesthelete@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause.3·13 days agoThey always say “we have a few bad apples” and never acknowledge the complete expression “bad apples” comes from, which is “a few bad apples spoil the bunch”. I think the full expression makes the analogy correct.

Maybe it’s pedantic of me to say this but there was not a state monopoly on violence in the past and there certainly isn’t now. A lot of goon squads are composed of private security forces.

JK, I’ll also take any variety of filler you got to keep my face from caving in on itself.
aesthelete@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Bill To Tackle 'Weather Modification'41·12 days agoLaws aren’t auto-enforcing magic. Any time that fossil fuel companies violate this stupid law (written for purely performative reasons) it simply wouldn’t be enforced.
Similarly, if the law allows for civil action, a multitude of reasons would be conjured on demand explaining why the lawsuit couldn’t move forward against fossil fuel companies. If it managed to move through district courts, it would simply wind up on the supreme court docket and they would again conjure up some reasons why the suit was invalid.
aesthelete@lemmy.worldto Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•American Idiot gets pissedEnglish16·13 days agoLike I get America isn’t without its problems, but if it’s so terrible, why is everyone trying to come here?
Many seeking asylum were coming for the promise of a stable federal government that operates under the rule of law (instead of working hand-in-glove with cartels) and that won’t disappear their family members, torture, or murder them like they encountered in their home countries.
They were coming for the promise of America, a promise that has been broken, battered, and pissed on at this point.
What do you think they came here for? ICE raids and Alligator Alcatraz?

aesthelete@lemmy.worldto Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•American Idiot gets pissedEnglish151·13 days agoWhen people stop trying to enter the country at risk of jail or death, I’ll believe “America Bad”.
Once all of the decent people in America are overrun by fascists and their enablers and the stench of death and doom is unavoidable, nobody will want to enter this country.
We’re well on our way toward that point already.
New bullshit jargon just dropped.
They’re like the asshat CEOs that keep pumping useless software consultants full of money.
