  • I don’t know; the level of delusion is very, very high. As others have pointed out, the birds that have the flu are not going to last long, but we already saw that crazy spokescreature flapping her face about farms culling birds as if it was Biden’s personal kink being done to annoy good 'Mericans or something.

    I could easily see them acting as if it’s not a problem by letting them sell tainted eggs from birds dying of bird flu - maybe even insisting on it, given how crazy these people are. And at least some of the stupid base will probably insist on being able to buy them, too. These are the people that think RFK jr is great, the same people that went Full Karen over masks, social distancing and the Covid vaccine. These are the same idiots that argued that people were only dying “with Covid”, not fucking FROM COVID. The kind of people that cheered on monsters like DeSantis yelling at kids for wearing masks.







  • However, I’m old enough to remember watching the boomers getting gaslit by the “Greatest Generation”.

    But yeah, as an Xer, it seems like we got the short straw. The boomers sucked all the air out of the room for so very long, that if the (mostly boomer- and Greatest Generation- led) media stopped giving them all the attention for a moment, it was to only label us the “slacker generation”.

    By the time the boomer narcissism’s grip was loosened, the focus was mostly on to Gen Y, and if we are being honest here, due to their numbers, the media narcissism around Gen Y reminds me very much of the boomers, with Gen Z quickly catching up.

    I suspect that’s very much due to a numbers game - if advertising dollars figure they can center a particular group enough, they can scoop up all those $$$ by selling a certain age range a story about themselves…



  • Um, life was maybe easy-ish for some boomers. Plenty of them got reamed by the many boom/bust cycles. Boomers lived through stagflation, two oil embargoes, Vietnam, the 80s fad of downsizing/rightsizing, many losing farms in the 80s, the 90s rush to offshore and outsource everything, the deskilling of Americans and the export of most manufacturing, NAFTA reordering things, the rise of big box retailers and further deskilling, the disintegration of unions, the Wall Street crash of 1987, the dot-com bubble burst in early 00s, the real-estate crash in 2008, etc. Gen X and millennials suffered some of these later ones, too, or dealt with the fallout from their parents having these struggles.

    The ageist shit is just a distraction. Generations are not really a thing; it’s more of a marketing strategy and also a way for the elites to further atomize Americans. Don’t fall for it.







  • It’s obviously an appeal to the dumbasses that react to any restraint on anything almost exactly like a wayward child being told to put on their seat belt…it’s really the gist of the conservative movement and always has been, regardless of the intellectual window-dressing put on it over the years.

    Speaking of Christmas, these are also the same dumbasses that thought someone was keeping them from saying Merry Christmas prior to diaper donvict getting in there, and seriously thought that Happy Holidays was some Grand Globalist Conspiracy vs. the shorthand it’s always been. Not everyone feels like saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, it’s a lot of words and it’s not about oppressing the poor marginalized xtians. 🤣





  • I’d imagine if some redcap went off their rocker and did something extreme against donvict, fElon, or one of their lackeys that martial law (or marshal law if you use donvict’s spelling) would be declared and guns would be getting confiscated at quite a rapid clip. At least from people suspected of not being redcap enough.

    Those deemed sufficiently redcap might be given some extra perks - just enough so that they are not wanting to do radical things against donvict. They would probably be pointed at out-groups and given the hint - or explicit messaging - that they won’t be punished for anything they do against out-groups.


  • They aren’t hurting yet. The Dogebags could make things, much, much worse.

    If they thought they were hurting when systems operated properly and checks were paid, banking worked properly under things like the FDIC and we had one of the best economies in quite a long time…buckle up.

    These guys are out to break government. That will be absolutely make people absolutely miserable. If they thought “Bidenflation” was excruciating, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
