That’s not true. Most people are willing to work for no pay at all.

People volunteer all the time. People help their family, take care of their kids, plant trees, keep their street clean, help organise events, … When people retire they often go work for a charity, just because work gives their life meaning and helps them socialise with people and feel useful.

Almost everyone wants to feel useful. Work gives life meaning.

The reason they have to pay us, is because only an idiot wants to do meaningless work, for too little pay, just to make someone else rich, especially if the end result is that it makes the world worse for everyone but the same people still running the show.

It’d be kinda funny if Dolly made the US go tits up.

I’ve always suspected the US is uniquely susceptible to the worse effects of climate change and a changing world.

Population too spread out to make public transport or cycling viable in the event of fuel shortages or distribution problems. Electricity also has to travel longer distances. Too reliant on AC, rather than passive insulation. A problem when fuel shortages and heat are combined.

And you’re taking too long to go full in on renewables. For example, even ignoring the environmental benefits, solar panels are great at reducing power consumption when its hot/sunny. Hell, on a sunny day it’s possible for a house to be giving back to the power grid, even with the AC on full.

Europe’s also fucked, but at least the houses are well insulated, and solar adoption and AC use is skyrocketing. So when cities as far north as Paris hit 50C(122F) by 2050, as is possible assuming an unfortunately plausible 3.5C global warming, the number of deaths won’t be catastrophic.

Of course, once agriculture’s hit, shit’s going to hit the fan globally. We’ll get a taste of this in the coming year. Farmers have been suffering badly from climate change, high fuel prices, and high fertiliser prices also due to Hormuz.

But only in America. Outside America, we continue to pretend that we’re somehow different, a comforting lie we tell ourselves. Like children who think a night light will keep away the monsters. But outside through shadow of the setting sun, they steal past the windows of the blissfully dead, looking for the victim shivering in bed. Creeping closer now, closer to the foot of the bed.

Honestly, at 45 with a very patchy CV because I was forced to become a full time carer more than once (fuck cancer), I’m probably fucked.

Feel like I might as well flush my degrees down the toilet. Luckily I live in Europe, so I didn’t have to go into a huge amount of debt for them.

That’s life I suppose. Sticking around for the life ending asteroid Hollywood has promised us.

If it pays ok, why not volunteer?

You get to socialise, you get to feel a part of your community, you get to feel like you’re making a difference, etc.

He’s a malignant narcissist and the guardrails are gone. He doesn’t want them to win, if anything he wants them to fail. He’ll often undermine them, like that time Vance was scheduled to call him live on stage in Budapest, but Trump simply didn’t answer the phone.

Like Hitler, there’s a non insignificant risk that he’ll burn America to the ground if he can’t stay in the Whitehouse.

I don’t know anymore. I used to think being a serial rapist and alleged child molester would disqualify people from baby sitting duties let alone high office.

You’ve got plausible deniability with what most people think of as Fraktur.

Tannenberg, a simplified form of Fraktur, absolutely is a nazi font:

Tannenberg is a Fraktur-family blackletter typeface, developed … by Erich Meyer … in Frankfurt am Main. … It is named after the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, in which German troops under Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff stopped the advance of Russian troops. Meyer’s design for the typeface was inspired by Nazi ideology.

Yeah. I know.

Tannenberg (as in the battle of) is the really nazi version of Fraktur that people should absolutely avoid:

Fascists ruin everything.

I find the Vikings fascinating. Can’t wear anything with Viking Runes on it though, ruined by association.

You just watched a Marvel movie and want to get a Mjolnir’s hammer t-shirt or hammer? Also popular with fascists.

Do you like metal? Chances are that band shirt you’re wearing will get misidentified as a fascist t-shirt or that the band has become popular with fascists.

You like a memento mori skull? Once again nazis. Got plenty of weird looks wearing a Vans t-shirt with skulls on it in Germany.

You like the Punisher cartoons? Think the logo is cool and like how the comics are critical of the police. I’ve got bad news for you.

Lonsdale used to a respected British sportswear manufacturer. But fascists found out you can put a jacket over it, and only NSDA is visible. Brand is often relegated to European discount shops now.

You have Irish family and like Celtic stuff? Often ruined by association, especially something like a Celtic cross.

Shit feet? Find combat boots work for you? Like a nice harrington or bomber jacket? Want to cut your hair short? Dr. Martens or anything skin culture related, was ruined by nazis for a long time, although luckily that’s largely a thing of the past. The wrong colour shoe laces will still raise an eyebrow though.

You like the Wachowskis and the Matrix? Guess who co-opted the red pill metaphor?

You like John Carpenter’s They Live because it’s a satire of Reagan era capitalism and commercialisation? Guess what, popular with anti-Semites.

Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, gaming, hell not so long the fascists even tried to convince Trekkies that their favourite show, which featured an interracial kiss in the 60s and arguably a gay/trans plot in the 90s, had become too woke.

Fucking tiresome. Cunts the lot of them.

e: Sorry for the rant.

Not true. The slogan in the picture above is smaller than in the picture I posted.

LOL. We are so fucked.

Honestly, I think the safest bet is to ignore anything he says, and notice what he does.

He’s building a bunker under the Whitehouse and the Pentagon is drafting a new approach which places a greater focus on shorter-range tactical nuclear weapons, which they claim will give Trump a wider range of military options.

Oops. Never mind. Probably best to pay attention to what he says if you don’t want to die of stress.

I’d prefer he die eating hamberders, so they’re less likely to be able to use him as a martyr.

They’ll sign a new law which will require ALL government communications to be done via Truth Social, which will randomly be replaced with a poop emoji.

And then Tannenberg, the really nazi one that commemorates a German victory over Russia, is a variant of Fraktur in the same family.

I’ve edited my comment above, because I had to go on wikipedia to check.

I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they’re still heavily associated with the Nazis.

I think blackletter is a family of gothic fonts, with fraktur being one type of blackletter.

Fraktur(aka Nazi font):

Picture above:

This being said, I’d argue the properly Nazi one is Tannenberg(which commemorates the German victory over Russia):

IRC Tannenberg is also a form of Fraktur (which is a form of blackletter) and obviously they’re all Gothic scripts.

IRC the nazis abandoned them at one point, because they’re not always legible.

e: I’ve just had an interesting trip down wikipedia lane, so take all this with a pinch of salt.

Here’s the above slogan in the same font the Nazis used (Fraktur):

And as a reminder, here’s the font used in the image above:

For reference, this is what above slogan looks like in Fraktur (the ‘Nazi font’):

On pair with the literacy expected from the average marxist.

Don’t know if you’re joking, and I usually wouldn’t do this, but it’s on (a) par with (not pair) and AFAIK Marxist is usually capitalised.

I don’t know if it’s technically a mistake, but I would also have used expected of (not from).

English isn’t my first language, so caveat lector.
