SitcomReality Content Warning: reality can be more absurd than any sitcom.

Some episodes focus on art, game dev and linguistics, but this show is also about political rage against a broken world.

Sometimes the humor is black and the laugh track is silenced.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Am I choosing between "all of you" ~300 million Americans and... the rest of the world, kept under the empire's thumb with brutal cruelty and murder?

Because from a utilitarian perspective there's what, 7 billion outside...

How bout this: I feel sorry for the innocent people who lived in Dresden.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 5m

Fair point. I agree, but with one exception: if the people being reported support the regime's atrocities then its good and hilarious.

Should we feel humanity for the people throwing imperial boomerangs?

An angry world has little sympathy left for genocidal Americans getting what they want for us.

Wanton destruction is what the US regime is engaged in. It's the thing that everyone wants to end. Ending it does require the destruction of the US empire, but that's hardly "wanton".

I understand the fear but at what point is pacifism just... accepting it? When does waiting become complicity?

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 23m

I'm not swinging randomly.

In this case it's very, very specific:
Anyone who supports politicians of the imperial regime spreading genocidal propaganda is an enemy of the peaceful world.

It's quite unambiguous and there is a very bright and distinct line. Which side of it are you on?

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 27m

Are you sure you're not only saying this because so far, the violence hasn't come for you in particular?

For the people in ICE captivity, was it time to fight? For the slaves working for corporate profit in American prisons? For the 500,000 kids killed in Palestine?

When *would* it be the answer?

If you're looking at it like that then it goes back hundreds of years before that. I was referring to America's current livestreamed genocide that's been so viciously and vociferously defended by everyone with any power in the US

Even the faux milquetoast opposition to the War of Terror is gone now

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 37m

I don't disagree, but I am alllll out of sympathy for Americans that are still using the empire's rhetoric to justify the empire's crimes.

I've seen too much suffering and it's broken me, emotionally, mentally, and I have no compassion left for those who do not care - let alone those who support it

Quick! Screenshot it!

Maybe you can get some last Nazi words in!

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 40m

bye Nazi

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 41m

I'm opposed to it in every possible way, and I'm not getting into multi hour arguments trying to defend the status quo.

Kate started a fight and dragged you in here to abuse me because of my vicious suggestion of opposition to the things you mention.

But cool racism, really showing your colors.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 43m

It's been bipartisan murder for a century, and it's been bipartisan genocide for 2 years.

I have absolutely no remorse or mercy for anyone that has a single iota of desire to preserve anything about the American empire or its regime of global cruelty. Why should I? Why should anyone?

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 46m

Idc. I literally do not fucking care. That's not my issue.

My issue is that your regime is murdering innocents all over the globe and committing livestreamed genocide right now, while I watch the pictures of murdered children appear online.

All I know is anyone who doesn't oppose that is my enemy.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 48m

Yeah I don't debate with Nazis about whether Nazism is a valid ideology.

Savor Trump, smarmbot.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 49m

Because getting blocked upsets you so much, I will give you one more chance.

If you send me another link because your ignorance makes you think that you know more than me, then I will just block you again. It's overtly disrespectful and not how smart people behave.

I'm not going to pretend the regime is going to be gone electorally, and if you are going to try and hold onto that lie despite the reality then you're obviously not on my side, or the side of anyone who wants peace.

Your elections have made things worse for a century til Trump.

Do something else.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 56m

Are you really going to pretend you don't see the issue with proponents of the American regime using the same rhetoric that's been used to justify livestreamed genocide, then you're truly irredeemable.

For someone bragging about education & comprehension, are you really going to play ignorant here?

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 57m

cool story bro, definitely worth logging into a second account

jfc @katespeace.bsky.social has escalated this nationalist BS to such pathetic levels I'm in a fucking 4x4 ad y'all. Americans get so dramatically selfish if the world doesn't treat them like they deserve to kill everyone with impunity.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

I left you unblocked for so much longer than you deserved, Nazi. You're so tedious boring, acting self-righteous about your absence of values while you imagine yourself looking down on the world from a high horse atop an ivory tower.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

Do you denounce the Nazi propaganda Kat Abughazaleh‬ is spreading to justify the livestreamed genocide, or are you a Nazi who I will immediately just block again?

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

ahahahaha I love how on another account, the pretentious attitude is gone.

Is this your angry rage account you use exclusively in response to being ignored by people bored by your fart-sniffing tedium?

Such distinct personalities! I blocked your other account for being a Nazi, so... let's see?

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

Preserving the regime? My goal is to see the regime and its empire destroyed and its proponents brought to a merciless justice.

For everyone who wants that - that is, 7 billion people outside the US suffering the empire's hegemony - is this candidate on our side, or the USA?

That's the question.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

bye Nazi

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

I showed a screenshot of her doing that and if you still see the Nazi propaganda that was used for 2 years to justify exterminating 500,000 children and you aren't sick to your stomach, then you're a Nazi, and you've only convinced me that you deserve the absolute worst the Trump regime can inflict.

SitcomReality @sitcomreality.bsky.social · 1h

In America? Like, who among the allowed candidates would I want to win an election in Germany in 1939?

This is kind of absurd, because there's obviously no candidates who would be able to run viably that won't support genocide.

But... let's not pretend the US will keep up the pretense of democracy
