It's wild how a person can be so paranoid, and yet so oblivious. It's me. I'm person. I'm having one of those nights

This is your periodic reminder that "Queer is a slur" is TERF propaganda. To clarify, I always ask consent before applying that word to others. Also, "tolerance is a social contract" doesn't mean what this person thinks it means.

Starting to wonder why I seem to encounter so many medicalists here. A lot of self proclaimed Trans folk who have very divisive ideas about being Trans. I guess new environment, new culture, but still though. It bugs me out that we're not as unified as on other platforms

Pretty long thread I wrote in response to a Trans med

Yeah, see I have difficulties with that. On a few levels. One being the requirement for dysphoria. I have always had mental health struggles. HRT was a desperate effort to try and address what I thought was depression. My mental health improved significantly with HRT, so I guess dysphoria was factor

I'm not always happy about waking up drunk from the night before, but when I am, it's because FUCK YOU! And you can quote me

I'm shitfaced

So, I'm pretty late to the party. But I just got on tiktok in 2025. Great platform. Whole lot of quality Luigi discourse. That's really sold it for me. But there's been a lot of ideas on there that've got me thinking. This thread is going to be a long meandering musing on the US political climate

Somewhere, 2020 or earlier, I heard that the US had been predicted to lose its position as the reigning superpower. Economists had said it would fall behind, sometime in the next hundred years. And then, in the next hundred years after that, would restructure, and reemerge

That's what things have looked like, since drumpf first ran. I mean, this idiot has never demonstrated a capacity for diplomacy, for policy. He has no idea how to run a country. His skills have always been in scamming, scheming, and rorting as much as he can for himself. He has accelerated the

Punished are the poor people. If you're rich, there's no consequences. All you have to say is, "I can't recall." And you get off scott free. Funnily enough, those kinds of memory gaps can be explained by mental illness. For example, DID, fugue, amnesia. Why are they never put into a mental hospital?

Checked for medical related issues? Confined, until the "memory loss" can be assessed? Could it be because it's just a lie? Agreed upon? Would it be too cruel to try and medicate this class of people to wellness? Funny that. Then I guess we're coming to the next thing

Other poor sap. Leave them holding the bag. Who cares? The lenders aren't responsible. And in the US, who was held accountable? Accountability? What the fuck is that? No. Bail out money, for the financial institutions. Government benefits for big business, but when the actual *poor* people get them,

Somehow, they're the enemy? This tells you so much about the US, it's so far beyond a joke at this point. Where was it? Greenland? I think it was Greenland. Don't quote me on that. They put the bankers in jail. Not in the US. Not in the "land of opportunity." That's where the only people who get

These guys actually said, in court, "you can't allow the conditions for us to do this." What the actual fuck? Like Jordan Belforts people. They think that if you make it "legal," that somehow absolves them of any moral obligations. Pretty sure the Nuremberg trials showed that no one was buying that

And yet, the cycle persisted. The next obvious stopping point was the GFC. The US has fiat currency, so now selling credit is the next obvious, unregulated thing to exploit. "Sub prime mortgages." Give people money they can't possibly hope to pay back, then package "AAA" and hand it off to some

Undermining education was so short sighted. It gave politicians an easier population to manipulate, but undermined the US long term sustainability. The US was becoming easier to exploit, but there was no sustainability. I don't know if education was bad before that, but it definitely made it worse

Then there was Enron. Deregulation of the energy industry in California, where "energy traders," were actually manufacturing shortages of power (and there's voice recordings of these discussions) so that they could send bills up in the thousands of dollars, to retired grandmas

An edge, how can those who don't accept "help" possibly stand a chance? Hell, Sanders had a very good platform. But he split the left/centre vote, so instead of getting out of his way, the democrats had him stand down. That was a mistake. It moved the goal posts right of centre

But that's further forward in the timeline. I'm still trying to get at how the deregulation that enabled Enron to happen, happened. Money. "Don't restrict what we can do, and we'll get you elected." But before Enron, there was the "no child left behind act." Was that evidence based? No

Under the table is a little murkier. Then there's PACs, which are also limited, but opened the door to super PACs. Political campaigns cost money. Getting elected, cost money. People naturally drawn to power are predominantly those who are corruptible. Not all of them, but there's a reason that

Elliott Ness and his team were called "the untouchables." If you wanted power, and someone offered you a better chance at it, in exchange for "considerations," it would make that pretty hard to give that up. So while I'm not saying that politics are inherently corrupt, over time, if the corrupt have

And what has the US done with that economic prosperity? I mean, it's a democracy, but only kind of. Everyone has an equal vote, but not everyone has an equal influence on those votes. The US has real problems with regulation. Guns, industry, political contributions

While every persons vote is supposed to be equal, there's nothing to stop different entities from influencing how the elected officials influence policy. Sure, a citizen is supposed to have a cap on how much they can donate to a political campaign, but that's only over the table

This set the US up for decades of economic prosperity, as while every other nation would be forced to trade in a foreign regulated currency, the US could literally print any quantity it needed to fulfil its requirements

It makes desert storm, and all that other bullshit about the US declaring unwanted wars in the middle east make sense. Gotta preserve that monopoly

Let's start at the inception of my thinking. I saw a YouTube video about the cold war. It discussed the space race, and the arms race between the USSR and the US. I don't remember a lot about that video, but the significant piece of information that my brain is linking information to is about the

"Petrodolar." About how the US managed to establish US currency as the standard trading unit for petroleum, I think in the 80's? This was a move away from the "gold standard," where you needed literal gold to buy crude oil

I don't have an ideological preference for socialism, communism, or anarchism. My only personal ideologies when it comes to societal structure, are that everyone be supported in accordance with their needs. Safety nets for those who need them. Wealth equality. That kind of thing

Keep this in mind, as I unleash the narrative that has been unfolding in my mind, slowly, for years, and only seems to be reinforced by the current state of politics within the US. While it don't live there, US politics impact the world, and my country more than most

I don't pretend to be terribly plugged in to politics. It's not my strong suit. I'm a pretty rabbid leftist, but I don't know a lot about navigating the intricacies of diplomacy, or how government works in a practical sense

Okay, I've decided I'm drinking tonight. Obviously that comes with free sides of nothing off, and being a general upstart. There may also be some meandering drivel too. Let's go!

I need to buy the one in the grey a drink

Less than 8 hours till the count down. Haven't slept since yesterday morning. I've got nowhere to go, and nothing to wear, and I haven't even thought to buy drinks. Is it worth trying to salvage a NYE in Sydney at this point? I'm from out of town, and I don't know the local scene

This is role model behaviour

100% accurate. Also, actions have consequences.

Wouldn't it be funny if the right wing completely imploded before inauguration day, and was too much of a shit show for them to actually take power? I don't know what that would look like in a practical sense, but you'd think they'd at least hold it together for three more weeks

And stay out!

Elons "woke mind virus" was from true detective. The cyber truck was from a videogame. "Fuck your own face" is from tropic thunder. He sold "Spaceballs the flamethrower." "The likes of which you can't possibly comprehend" is a Mary Shelley paraphrase. Does the guy have a personality of his own?

Seriously, at this point it just seems like a mosaic of projections from media he's consumed. The guy is a fucking AI. Someone needs to DMCA his whole fucking existence
