And why would the oil company lie to us? They’ve been nothing but trustworthy so far
(I’m not saying they necessarily MUST want the oil, just that taking anything they say at face value feels ahistorical)

The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

I’d love to put all the ”Maduro’s dictatorship justifies Trump’s crimes” and “if you don‘t like Maduro’s dictatorship you’re supporting Trump’s crimes” people on a rocket together and yeet them into the sun

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

BlueSky suspended my account for 3 days for a post that allegedly got removed for violating something about respectful discourse.
That's... literally all I know. Not what the post was. Not what part of the guidelines it violated.
I assume I deserve it, but... is there literally no way to find out?

Everyone is a target. Yes, them too. Also them. They haven’t gotten to them yet, but, yeah, duh.
Confused that folks think this regime has only one target at a time. That's not how any of this works.
They're targeting everyone all at once.
They're not "lining up their next targets". They're already acting to harm. Don't underplay what's happening.
