the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence
the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice
some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"
if they are not enough? too late?
then we are truly fucked
#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you
@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel
study the history of #chile, #southkorea, #spain
look at #serbia, #georgia, #hungary today
corrupt, murderous regimes, opposed
they fought! they're fighting!
what you about you #usa?
i will not listen to arguments saying #american #democracy is doomed:
hopelessness
cynicism
it only helps #plutocrat-#bigot malice
you fight
you #vote
now and forever
that matters
"but it should be easy"
never is and never will be
show a fucking spine
"Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website"
If you're #black and/ or a #woman, your sacrifices will never matter to #MAGA and their only reaction is to try to erase your history and ignore your existence.
The #bigot-#plutocrat #political axis
"#Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income #Tax on $2 Billion of #US Income in 2024"
https://itep.org/tesla-reported-zero-federal-income-tax-in-2024/
this right here
the root of all of our problems
how a cringe #edgelord icon of #bigotry like #Musk can wield so much power and how our #democracy dies to #plutocracy
well, not the root of all of our problems
the #bigots matter too
by goosing #ignorance and #indecency the #plutocrats can pull con jobs on hateful dimwits to wield power
the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis
our enemy
The #Plutocrat-#Bigot #socialMedia axis takes race swapping characters in #movies seriously
Because it's a pipeline to #farRight #politics, weaponized fake outrage
And they get to engage in #racism and #hate
"#AyoEdebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon #Musk shared fake report about #PiratesoftheCaribbean casting
#TheBear #actor called Musk a #fascist and an idiot after his reaction to a post from a #rightWing account that claimed she was replacing Johnny Depp"
it's always been #bigots everywhere in large numbers
#plutocrat #socialMedia amplifies it, gooses it, celebrates it
one of the avenues we can fight back: get a new social media like #Mastodon to replace corporate centralized cesspits of trolls and #hate (i know, a big ask. one can dream)
to be clear: the root problem is #bigotry, not #technology
but bigotry is a much larger problem
so win the social media battle
and use that to further the much larger war on bigotry
@FranceskaMann @ohmu @Kierkegaanks
certainly
#plutocracy amplifies #hate on the right and #alienation on the left on purpose
the problem is we live in a #democracy (if we can keep it) so the average person matters. their choice to #vote #maga, or not vote matters
and the reasons they don't vote or vote maga is the #plutocrat influence machine, yes
but *why* does that influence work?
#socialMedia and #media #psyop work because hate and alienation is organic
we need to fight that too
@Osteopenia_Powers @Kierkegaanks
#trump, the whole #plutocrat sludge factory, confuses being rich with being right
the problem is, so do tens of millions of middle class and poor #americans
the #conservative mind operates on #fear
overactive amygdala
it crowds out the prefrontal cortex: reason
#plutocrat #rightWing #media and #socialMedia amplifies the imbalance on purpose
pushing lies that goose the fear, #ignorance and #hate, capturing their minds, addicting them, controlling them
as suitably brainwashed zombies, programmed like robots, they dutifully and enthusiastically go to #vote
while the left is not so engaged
this is our problem
"Deep wisdom of the cosmos:
What is the purpose of the #USA in the world now?"
"Dear demoralized #Left #American:
The job of your country now is to serve as a horrifying and disgusting example to #democracies in the world about what to avoid: the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis"
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/05/trump-tariffs-canada-liberal-party
But it only effects "the poors" so the #plutocrat class doesn't care
And plenty of poor people support #Trump and will blame the #Democrats. Because that's what some troll on #socialMedia tells them
The stupid and the evil are killing us all
"Bad thing in another country horrifies, driving support for the opposite at home"
I think it helped in #Germany
I think it will help in #Canada
So the fate of the #USA is to be an example of what poor #gunControl, no #universalHealthcare, and what an unchecked #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis does to a motherfucker:
Sane observant #citizens in other #democracies can avoid our fate

Elon Musk is a destructive asshat. When Democrats rebuild the CFPB, let’s build it bigger and stronger so it can do a better job protecting regular Americans.
The Rise of the Selfish Plutocrats
The coronavirus pandemic ushered in even more grotesque inequality. Elon Musk’s net worth surpassed $400 billion. The world’s economies ground to a halt, and public coffers were crushed with debt, but superyacht sales surged by 46 percent. The public, especially the poor, suffered; the rich, like those of G. K. Chesterton’s caricature, escaped.
This is why #Mastodon is so important:
"#NTSB forces reporters to get #planecrash updates on #X"

#Bluesky is owned by #crypto bros, it's not going to save you. The #plutocracy will call in their favors at the opportune time, and it's going to fall the same as #Twitter did. The manipulation you can't see is probably already underway
The #plutocrat strangulation of all #media is upon us
The #Fediverse is our #refuge, #sanctuary, and, grimly, perhaps our last hold out
#Trump "devoted two full paragraphs to talking about his admiration for the 25th President of the United States, William McKinley. In the end, McKinley won handily, and the People’s Party [populists] collapsed. McKinley presided over years of #plutocrat-friendly policies at home and #warmongering abroad until he was assassinated by an anarchist factory worker in 1901."

yeah
if we ever want #mastodon #fediverse to grow, it has to be dead simple
dead. simple.
"i don't want all these normies on mastodon"
you kind of do
otherwise they are off in #twitter land or #rednote land or #facebook land getting mindwiped, and then voting
you can curate your mastodon experience to your hearts content, and avoid them all
don't worry about #eternalseptember on mastodon
worry about #plutocrat agendas controlling hordes of zombies
even still, when the signs pile up that they're fucked under #trump, their #plutocrat controlled #media will tell them it's the fault of #democrats because {insert hilarious bullshit here}
and they will believe it
and while the #economy goes into the shitter, and/ or the deficit explodes to pay for #crony plutocrat sleaze, they will report the economy is much better under trump
they are utterly mind-controlled zombies
Fuck you, you fucking douchebag.
You want people to have more #children?
#Healthcare. #Housing. #Daycare. #Maternity and #paternity leave. #Child #tax credits. A #livingwage. Four day workweek. Etc.
Nah: deny #women the right to have an #abortion and make everyone #poor and desperate, right? Goddamned #plutocrat assholes.
Plus, you raised an absolute festering pustule of a son, #ElonMusk. So don't you dare lecture anyone about #parenting, Cruella.
