I think the peaceful transfer of power is one of the best and least monarchic aspects of democracy, and converting something you're meant to hold on trust until that transfer is Not Good.

I would be happy to see the Canadians burn it again, however.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Nothing I've read from you has been especially cogent so far, there's no fucking way I'm reading 40 posts of your angst in the hopes of finding a diamond at this late stage.

tl;dr, good for you or my condolences as appropriate, FYAD/HAND etc etc

It's not as bad as "I was mad and saw a black pfp so I said Clarence Thomas" but it's still pretty mank.

I would not reflexively accuse every questioner of ableism.

If I could not articulate differences in the justices' beliefs, I would especially not call them Clarence Thomas.

Absolute Pinnacle @absolutepinnacle.bsky.social · 14h

So you called a gal Clarence Thomas because nobody understood you (strange but ok)

THEN you accused her of "shucking and jiving" for ableism (not great tbh)

THEN you accused a black guy of being white, since you are the arbiter of oppression (quite bad)

THEN you called _him_ Clarence Thomas

Oh, pretending that you compare everyone to Clarence Thomas so it doesn't look so bizarrely racist in hindsight. I don't think you'll be able to sell it, but at least it's cute.

If you thought AI glazing was getting too much pushback, seething racism was probably not the play.

There's liking your country and there's being offended that anyone else it affects has views about it

The odds of Trump waking from a night terror and deploying the entire US military to hunt for whales in the Gulf of Mexico are low, but never zero.
