It's just a lot like Kim Jong Un or Putin, where he seriously pictures himself looking like Vin diesel. And so do his followers. All those maga flags and political comics actually give him a six pack and make him 6'5. It's gross and kind of scary.

Exactly. I never understood how everyone got on board with hating her so quickly and easily. She runs the wildlife rescue and had been fighting for a law like this for years. But everyone just believed the clown car of tiger king people when they would talk shit about her. Of course they hated her. She was trying to stop them from abusing animals for profit.

In The Handmaid's Tale, right before Gilead takes over the US, women have to have their husbands sign off on their birth control refills. Then they all get fired from their jobs and all their money in the bank gets transferred to their husbands.

I know it's a tired cliche to keep bringing up the Handmaid's Tale, but it just doesn't seem that far out there anymore. Especially the part where everyone just goes along with the changes and learns to live with them. Margaret Atwood based everything in the book off of real events in wold history. So there's that.

I can never fully decide whether I think they're proud of their hypocrisy and cruelty, or whether they're just too stupid to see it. They're such shitty people that both are distinct possibilities.

And anyway, wtf is "ideological colonization"? The language these far right crazies keep coming up with keeps getting more and more like that fake legalese that sovereign citizens use to try to sound smart.

Remember when Transmetropolitan made this seem cool

3% on Netflix is really good. Definitely do the english subtitles instead of the dubbing though, it sounds ridiculous.

I kind of always thought that's why the first amendment said there should be no national religion

Well that sounds like it would be a drastic change from the status quo /s

And anyway, CA just passed a bill to do exactly that (psychiatric commitment solely through the criminal justice system) but for any crime. It's supposed to address homelessness (?) but that kind of power will get fucked up and out of control really fast. It's like they got it backwards. God forbid they address the people with the literal murder weapons. No. Let's go punish the people without rent bills and mortgages. That makes perfect sense.

only affects law abiding citizens while criminals ignore the law

This is a fantastic argument for having no laws. Ever.

they needed documentation from the hospital to prove a legit medical emergency.

Do they think people are out there taking life fights in helicopters like they're taxis? So fucking ridiculous, I'm so sorry you even had to worry about something like that.

People who work for medical insurance companies need their heads examined. You must need a certain amount of psychopathy to get a paycheck from this kind of cruelty and then be able to sleep at night.
