  • “I only care what happens to me in my country and give no shits about what happens to the rest of humanity that is brought about by what my country does. They can kill all those people so long as I have the freedoms those people are fighting for. Oh and I hope I can buy eggs for not an expensive price while my country is intrinsic in starving another population for no good reason”





  • Also not what I said. This was the first election where I was able to vote that I did not cast my ballot for the presidency, but I voted down ticket on everything else, including the questions in my state. My votes were either for democrats or for people who ran independently and had truly progressive ideals.

    And before you go off on your oh not voting is a vote for Trump tirade, i live in a heavily blue state where there was absolutely no danger of electoral votes going to trump. My states votes went to Harris. And since that’s how the presidency gets tallied, my votes for the more local politics seemed more pertinent and a better way of getting the future that I think the planet deserves




  • I’ve been using ecosia for the past 3 or 4 months now and it works really well, especially if you’re googling for information. Feels like going back to the old internet, where you actually get some real sources and websites you don’t see around anymore. If I’m searching for something scientific I can actually get the whole study rather than some awful summaries of the study that leave out important parts.

    On the other hand if I’m looking for restaurants or placss to eat or stuff like that Google is still a better source because you can link to the map easily and the functionality is just a bit better still.











  • Actually no there isn’t. Black voters voted in majority for kamala. Even Latinos voted majority for kamala. She lost some percentage points with those groups, but by far and away white men and women voted for Trump, not for kamalcanif your only recourse in each election year is to hope you get enough black and brown voters to win you the eldtion, then maybe don’t alienate all those voters and tell them their concerns don’t matter for a year before the election.


  • Maybe you can realize that comparing genocides doesn’t really help you.

    “I don’t care about that genocide because it is happening thousands of miles away and doesn’t affect me even though it’s my money funding it, but I do care about this genocide that’s not yet happened but might happen to me”

    If you can excuse one genocide then you can excuse them all. It doesn’t suddenly matter because it’s your life at stake.
