I'm past it. My living philosophy now is nihilistic.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Naw friend, nihilism ain’t it, absurdism though, now that’s the way. This shit is entirely too ridiculous

Every day we stray further from gods light

You sure ‘bout that? I’m pretty sure he didn’t really bat an eye when slavery was in full swing, hell, if i remember right he actually endorsed it, as much as a fictional character can endorse anything.

Yeah, I gotta get the fuck out of here.

[–] Oyml77@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

It literally gets worse here every day.

I have family in titusville and lets jst say the memes ring true, unhinged, completely detached from reality.

[–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You need to drive everyone else out. We shouldn't give up on Florida.

[–] glennglog22@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Your sentiment is good but misplaced. The ocean will already do that for us in our lifetime. With any hope, the crazies might go underwater with Florida, but it will most likely disperse them.

I can't imagine living with as much insecurity as conservatives face every day

It has to be a nightmare. Maybe that's why they so mad all the time at the sightest breeze of sanity

When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Even if you don't fall into that category, one of the main gotchas of the church is to use one of your most basic biological programmings and tell you it's a sin. The church teaches that even thinking lustfully about someone is a sin. They tell you that the urge to reproduce is sinful and only they have the cure.

Ahhh... The old "replace factual history with 'belief-ism'" tactic. What's the saying? "Those who don't read history are doomed to repeat it"

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 29 points 1 year ago

It feels like 1984, unironically.

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot.

Ok, so I know "retarded" is an offensive and outdated term, but I propose we redefine it as "being ignorant, knowing that you are, and stubbornly refusing to make any attempt to fix it".

Used in a sentence: Ron DeSantis is retarded.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actively working to retard the progress of humanity as a whole, so maybe..retarder?

[–] gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Oh that's good. He's like a wet blanket for the fire of progress. That's also what I hear his wife says about him in bed. 🔥🔥

Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let's make him "benefit". /s

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Bring back? Slavery isn't gone. It's still allowed in the prison system.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They did. It's called the 13th Amendment.

I mean, has anyone really crunched the numbers on if that's possible? If not I say we look into it maybe.

Nature will have Florida covered.

[–] Pokethat@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

When you realize that Florida man can and does run for office 😵‍💫

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Dear all those people that made this happen.

Fuck you.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in ~~Arizona~~ Alabama Bay.

[–] glennglog22@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sure could use a vacation from this bullshit three ring circus sideshow.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't worry, they're the first state that'll be underwater from climate change and simultaneously one of the biggest deniers of it. No sawing required.

DeSaster once said that being woke means “war on truth” What the fuck do you call this then? Cuz this ain’t it, chief.

[–] _ak@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what "woke" means from one of DeSantis' goons:

https://www.fox13news.com/news/what-does-woke-mean-gov-desantis-officials-answer-during-andrew-warren-trial

The governor's general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them." He added that DeSantis doesn't believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.

[–] Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

I guess if that's the case reps can't complain about "welfare queens" Because systematic injustice isn't real

[–] Magzmak@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You sawed off too little keep going with Alabama and Missouri.

Thats fucked
