I second this. Every word of it.
@Strandjunker remember: They are still just men, humans and thus bound to the same unbreakable laws.
@khleedril @Strandjunker no, it's just a reminder that they ain't untouchable…
How you interpret this is your problem, not mine!
I am ready for someone other than an old white dude running things.
They had their chance
I understand and approve the sentiment. But this constant structural assignment isn’t helpful, actually. And if you get to non European majority places you can remove the “white” while staying on message. And then you got Maggie, Theresa (well, Merkel as *the* boss but a good one) so it is … complicated but easily stereotyped. And a few good rich ones.
Better to focus on what’s wrong with those dimwits and especially their followers?
Remember that each of these evil old despots have the backing of the most corrupt industry on the planet, the fossil fuel industry.
Want freedom from fossil fuel fascism?
Stop being captive consumer markets for fascist billionaires.

Like Standard Oil before it, the oil industry of today prefers fascists.

To evade Trump's tariffs on solar panels, might think about ordering them from elsewhere.
For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called “plug-in” solar — are making clean energy more accessible. Already widespread in Germany, the movement is gaining momentum in the United States. Laura Klivans of PBS member station KQED reports.

@Strandjunker
I am grateful for mortality and death and a failure to extend it
I think that a lot too. That we just forgot. That we think, hey this is so super caring for me, why don't we try this? Nice hats, nice salutes, a super caring chat buddy, a fridge with junk food, finally I can be someone special, led by someone extraordinary, a real saviour of ours.
@Strandjunker Most of us are..
Like really tired 
yes, trump welcomes these 2 like they are royalty when in fact both are War Criminals. I suppose trump could be one, too, perhaps that is why he has Hegseth bombing Venezuelan boats. He's jealous????
@Strandjunker while we are all getting tired of them constantly stealing our attention, @pluralistic is looking for the cracks they stupidly open in the very structures that support them:
"A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet."
Especially good if you are in the need of a spark of hope.

Trump has staged an unscheduled, midair rapid disassembly of the global system of trade. Ironically, it is this system that prevented all...
