Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.

I think the best analogy for the effects of a collapse of the US is the passing of a kidney stone. It came about as a consequence of poor choices, and getting through it will be a painful process that will likely cause some damage. But getting through that pain will be necessary for a better outcome.
I should say that a kidney stone is considered a best case scenario. We may end up with a malignant tumor scenario instead.

ever ride an airport tram, nigga
rail is one of the easiest things you could ever hope to automate, and you still want a human onboard if the tracks aren't strongly access controlled

this is the perfect example from before. This guy realizes now that looking like you want whites to go extinct is a bad look, and just says "well that's not me"

WA state governor in 2004 was a ridiculously obvious one. R won. They kept recounting, "finding" new D votes every time. Finally, after three recounts D had about hundred votes more, at which point the recounts immediately stopped and D victory was declared.
But election fraud started long before even that.

this is "big lie" territory - the fear of addressing a small part of the problem causing a cascade is what keeps the entire thing intact.
Compare "emperors new clothes" where a singular event pierces the whole lie.

someone mentions "sure that's $28, but it's 4 meals" - but it's actually more than that; you're not going to use all of everything shown there except the meat and maybe the fries.

I can only assume these people think you can just roll up and buy a gun like candy

I know it is California, but can this be any more telegraphed that the vote count will be fixed if the people "vote the wrong way?"
I will not be holding my breath either way.

Americans no longer worry about climate change. A collapsing dollar will do that.

I think it was around 15 years ago but definitely after the 2008 financial crisis that boomers just did a 180 and started telling White kids that college was stupid and they should learn a trade instead.
This is after spending the last 30 years preaching college as the only way you can get anywhere in life.
You're literally going to be working at Mcdonalds for the rest of your life if you don't go to college. Thats what they told us.

With Thomas Massie losing his primary, it reminds me of how the Republican party has been failing in so many regards to enact any actual conservative policies. Every "victory" they achieve always seems to either benefit Israel directly or indirectly.
"Trump expanded the military, that's a conservative victory!" But to what end does that help in accomplishing something tangental to right wing advancement here at home? The answer is it doesn't, because it just benefits Israel once more.

I think to a degree our society has also failed a lot of people. When both parents are working, they don't have the energy to come home and then teach their kids to cook, even if they themselves are doing it.

we would function better as a society if we made people understand the costs of running a business, or if they are unable to understand that, that they understand they are too stupid to have an opinion.

it's worse that this too, because a lot of "green" kind of agriculture are stupidly water intensive, like growing nuts in the desert.

There will be times I will defend Dave Ramsey in spite of the backlash. This is not one of those times. The "you are a princess" is not only cringe inducing, but there is no way he could qualify this statement from simply talking to a woman over the phone.
