You want to be hopeful about the future, but being optimistic is difficult when Americans support gun control, the Amish support cash bans, bag factory owners support plastic bag bans, and car dealers support state-mandated car inspections.

Soon property will be nationalized, the US flag and anthem will be changed, Congress will abolished, domestic permits will be required to travel, the government will decide what job you can have and will tell you who you must marry, there will be instant DNA checks, the government will install cameras in your bathroom, there will be walls built around cities, there will be mind control, and the government will have mind readers.

You know the US is doomed when newspapers run stories praising gulags and painless gas chambers and Americans cheer.

We need video games that feature heavily retarded characters and we can say they're inclusive.

I wonder how much tax money is wasted each year to keep the usps sending junk mail.

There is a volunteer organization that takes massive strides toward cleaning up the Mississippi River from all the shit that people throw into it. They don't want our rivers to become like India, and they're holding off the jeetification for as long as they can.

And the nice thing about this is that anyone can do it. You and I can order trash bags, a trash picker, and a bright safety vest and clean things up wherever we are.

And if someone refuses because "I'm not being paid" then they are about as good as the jeets invading.

Your final rebellion against the increasingly shitty modern world, as a white person, can be to just pick up the trash and put it where it belongs, until they legislate that away too.

*[so-called] AI chatbots give "unreliable and biased" advice to voters, says Dutch watchdog.* If this were a special problem unique to the Netherlands, it would not be globally significant. But it is a consequence of the nature of bullshit generators. We can help reduce the impact of this problem by firmly refusing to call them any sort of "intelligence". Please join in!

FDA’s Bizarre Decisions about Nicotine Pouches Lead to the Wrong Products on Shelves
'walk through a dozen convenience stores in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, says a lot about how US nicotine policy actually works. Only about one in eight nicotine-pouch products for sale is legal. The rest are unauthorized—but they’re not all the same. Some are brightly branded, with uncertain ingredients, not approved by any Western regulator, and clearly aimed at impulse buyers. Others—like Sweden’s NOAT—are the opposite: muted, well-made, adult-oriented, and already approved for sale in Europe.'

Just thinking: We will probably have a majority Muslim electorate in about 20 - 30 years from now.
Subsequently, sharia law will probably be rolled out.
Muslims are having more kids than any other demographic. Moreover, you cannot say anything disparaging about mohammed.
