49th Minarcho-Cascadian Shitposting Regiment

I like to joke but my government is currently prosecuting a heinous and immoral war for a small coalition of capitalist rape demons. It killed almost 200 schoolgirls a week ago and I don't think anyone has come to terms with that

Hot urbanism take but while suburbs as-constituted mega suck, there's a version of them that needs to exist, so that these nerds who want relatively more control over their surroundings aren't forced into urban areas to push Hitlerite social order conformist shit on the rest of us

Also we really need to legislatively force businesses with customer bathrooms to just let people just use the fucking bathroom.

We're never gonna be able to roll out enough shitty public bathrooms to solve this, and it'd be incredibly expensive to try

The worsening crisis is downstream of worsening economic conditions and the worsening social conditions that accompany it, with the minor material change that it's not possible to be a quasi-functional fent addict for as long as it is with heroin

You have to give people survival needs to solve this

Dawg seriously what's up with leftists turning against systemic solutions to homelessness and addiction lately?

Nobody likes homeless dudes shitting on the bus ffs, but to prevent it without major systemic change would require a police state in general, which isn't fucking worth it

Oh for sure, it's aspirational more than anything else. Ultimately people have a right to be stupid.

I concur the Mamdani approach of improving people's lives enough to be noticeable in a short period of time (based based based) is the way. FDR won four terms doing that exact one neat trick!

Long term we really gotta find a cure for Medieval Peasant Thought Pattern Syndrome, but in the meantime it's pretty important to have the peasants on our side

Eg. there's no evidence or basis that the Epstein associates were eating babies, it's just viral hysteria from stupid ppl on shortform video social media, but it's a reasonable emotional extrapolation from the known child rape, and I'd rather have idiot reactionary-minded ppl doing that than fascism

The problem is you can't actually separate performative leftists who operate on vibes, same as with your winemom types for the libs (who are usually better people than educated neolibs). Low-info slopulist mass-mobilization is a core and unfortunately necessary part of any successful mass movement

But also yeah, being able to read a paragraph is good for your brain! Being able to read a few or even an essay is even better!

It's a chicken and egg thing and obviously brainrot rots your brain, but I think if you're seeking out shortform video for serious topics in the first place you're probably a bit of a fucking idiot already. Shortform video is for memes, not disinfo slop delivered much slower than I can read

Leftists like to discuss systemic solutions so we tend to shy away from just calling people stupid, but IMO it's pretty clear that that insta reels/tiktok are targeted at a less intelligent audience than bsky or og twitter, which are in turn less intelligent than tumblr, reddit, or substack

Can you fucking freak losers find me a study on the physical health outcomes associated with getting hit with an NLAW?

Now that we're finally getting permanent Daylight Savings, I wanna be the revolutionary guard for the change. I wanna be able to [redact] the reddit-ass dorks, losers, boomers, shut-ins, and freaks who want Standard Time. I want street brawls and I want to win them. I want an anti-tank launcher.

This change has brought me back to having a net positive opinion of David Eby for the first time in years. This absolutely rocks.

They're saying we're the backest we've ever been, folks!

Really coming around to the idea that we need a kind of young and hot people supremacy in our politics. Boomers had this in the 50s, and then aged as society shifted into a gerontocracy over the last fifty years, so they've just been the privileged age cohort their entire lives.

Play loud music! Drive a motorcycle! Smoke weed! Launch fireworks! Live!

We need an urbanism that's relentless about allowing people to actually enjoy their lives while living in the city!

An urbanist cultural revolution against HOA/Strata Karens.

And shitlibby urbanists don't have the sauce for this, they can't even reliably not have shitty opinions about homeless people, we gotta do it

Most of this generation are only ever gonna be able to afford rentals in densely populated areas so holy fuck we're gonna need a political program around decriminalizing, destigmatizing, and in fact stigmatizing people with a problem with, broadly existing and having normal hobbies in public

We gotta resurrect Spanish anarchism style urbanism.

It sucks the way cities, which will always by nature offer better lifestyles, have in this century become hornets nests of cops and petty authoritarianism and curtain twitching.

Can’t relate

It means a gorgeous sunny and hot summer 😎 (and maybe bad wildfires ☹️)

Genuinely I think a big part of the issue is that people who kinda dislike rules are the least likely to seek out the rulemaking job.

Conversely this is why despite nothing about social democracy requiring that you be Like This, our socdem politicians all just happen to *fucking love rules*

I'm a simple man, if you try to subject me to 4pm sunsets for the rest of my life, I think I should be legally allowed to hunt you for sport

If the standard time dorks and losers complaining about this manage to throw up enough FUD to interfere or fuck this up in some way it's gonna be the thing that turns me into the joker man. Forget leftism, this is gonna be the thing that pushes me over the edge.

Add a line to your stupid website for the time when the median person finishes their workday and is able to spend the rest of their day as they see fit.

...Actually holy shit the website only lets you move the line as late as 10AM to stop people checking this exact thing LOL.

Beyond parody.

Because daylight in the winter is scarce, put it where it's usable to the most people. Ie. the hours where the most people possible are both awake and have agency over their activities.

What an idiotic premise. No shit in an ideal world or lab environment we should wake up with the sun and go about our lives. Unfortunately we have this thing called work, which functionally occupies the first 9 or so hours of our day and prevents us from doing the things we want to do.
