Read that as "Doug Walker" and I was like man, I'm way out of the loop with what's going on there

I've been kinda dooming for a while, so it actually feels healing to be out in a crowd like this.
I'm not alone. There's a lot of Americans who feel the same way I do.

It was a communist government.
I see "communist" and a hammer & sickle emoji in your bio.

I'd ask you to list an example of your preferred brand of communism but let me guess: "true communism has never been tried"

Alright well let us know how your non-hierarchical commune works out. I'm sure it will be filled with people who like making prescription glasses for fun, and not filled with cultish sex pests

It's kind of ironic that leftists who hate the United States and want to overthrow it base their model of what a revolution looks like on the American Revolution lol

For some reason I enjoy Sopranos clips but I couldn't stand watching the show. Same with Always Sunny.
Idk, my brain is happy to watch these bumbling idiots get into random shenanigans, but I just don't have the patience to watch them have a whole plot from beginning to end.

I don't think this is a real video of a guy fighting a tiger.
Aren't you betraying the public's trust? Isn't that immoral?

Not me thinking that a "Breencast" refers to the kind of speech you'd see in a Neil Breen movie

How is having a conversation on social media "productive" but protesting Kristi Noem isn't?

New in town @chowdster.bsky.social · 3d

Are you being productive right now?

Do you ever make actual points or do you just respond incredulously to whatever liberals are doing?

You're absolutely right, for like a decade I considered the Youtube comments section to be the absolute dregs of the internet.
Nowadays I sometimes get more out of the comments than I do the videos themselves

the far left : poverty is always bad and getting worse :: the far right : crime is always bad and getting worse

once you notice this you can't unsee it

and it makes it impossible to take credit for movement on either of these issues because what are you, insensitive to those suffering?
