Aleen"Machines built to eat people don't stop until they run out of people" will live in my head rent-free from now on.

Coach Leftist Diesel@aleen btw @JuliusGoat is here too!
@springdiesel @JuliusGoat omg thank you! I should have done more due diligence
@aleen @JuliusGoat I went looking for that specific post, but it wasn't cross posted. So I'm glad you reposted!
Aharon Varady@aleen This Chris Ridell drawing feels apropos.

That one Jewish network nerd@aleen As the great American political philosopher put it “Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops)”

Extinction (our fate)@aleen Republicans are individual corporations.
1) They accept no liability for anything they do.
2) They double down on whatever they find profitable no matter who gets hurt.
3) They treat everyone like they're expendable.

Benjamin Rahn@aleen @JuliusGoat @Johannab see also this bit from Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism essay (but ofc @JuliusGoat has the more elegant turn of phrase)

🎡@brahn @aleen @JuliusGoat @Johannab i once heard someone describe fascism as a death cult, and I can’t think of a more apt description. Even if you are a petty bourgeois cishet able bodied neurotypical white male, there is always gonna be someone higher on the totem pole. And as for the ppl on top? Well look how Hitler and Mussolini’s lives ended...

OldAndCranky@aleen @JuliusGoat Moxon is the best.
podo@aleen @JuliusGoat Do keep in mind that people-eating machines are made and run by Reps, Dems, and bloodlustingTransnational corporations who couldnt give a F* what country or planet u live in/on :( ... sorry, a not-so-upbeat news blip.
@CharleneTeglia@aleen @JuliusGoat I mean they're already talking about elderly people needing to die and executing women who had abortions
Tang_Fish@aleen @JuliusGoat first they came for the defenseless LBGTQIA Communities......
Odradek@aleen @JuliusGoat at least parts of the concentration camps were build to last.
British Tech Guru@aleen @JuliusGoat Declare a problem and offer a solution. That's how politics works. Usually that problem is an innocent minority that cannot defend itself and then gets trampled.
Britain 1981 - The unemployed are lazy skivers and the cause of the country's woes.
Britain 1984 - The coal miners are the scum of the earth and the enemy of the people.
Britain 1990 - Single mothers are Satanic baby producing leeches on society.
America 2022 - trans gender are pedophiles, bathroom degenerates and corrupting out children.
That's how politics works. Republican and Democrat alike.

@aleen @JuliusGoat
Exactly.
As Jon Stewart once said of Sarah Palin after making anti-Muslim statements, "You know she's got a shopping list."
Trans people are "testing the waters." They don't care about us, not really. Not more than any other group they hate and want to eradicate from "their" America. But we're a fine bellwether. We're small enough, and their hate campaigns have been successful enough to where people won't really care about us until we're all gone. And then they'll soon forget us.
From there, it goes right back into the rest of the queer community, then probably Muslim folks, immigrants, esp from South America and Africa/Middle East, and it just rapidly goes from there to everyone else. You can do the math.
prozacchiwawa@aleen @JuliusGoat i have absolutely no doubt that kavanaugh will jump at the chance to author an originalist return to "separate but equal" based on 17th century legal scholarship.
A court built to eat rights won't stop until it runs out of rights.
If you are into games, check out Horizon: Zero Dawn it's about robots that do that very thing. Only it's all biomass.
Yora@aleen They don't even care who they hate. They are more than happy to hate whoever happens to be in no position to fight back.
The only thing that really matters is that there is someone to hate to keep the masses distracted from the government failing to provide for them.

🐯 AliCat Tomskit 🐾@aleen this is a tangent, but that statement is in essence revealed to be the key storyline behind “Horizon Zero Dawn” (PlayStation game), in a quite literal sense 😅
