I know America is a giant cesspool right now, but I still like to cling onto the values and lessons I was raised on as a kid.

Today on 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by congress and the United States was born. I was taught that the founding fathers were fighting for freedom, liberty, representation. These were the first Americans who wanted to be heard and declared themselves a new nation from one of the biggest empires in the world.

Now there are multiple opinions on the past, present, and future of the US, but I was raised on the notion that the American spirit means standing up for ourselves. This nation is for the people, and we will not listen to any tyrants. To quote the actual document in question:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

I just got one for work, and I kept giggling to myself because of this

They died for our kinks. And after 3 days and 3 nights, we celebrate with a massive orgy

I dunno, I think the paramedics find the sight of you stuck in your seat a whole lot nicer than you stuck in the windshield

While I agree with this sentiment.

I’m hoping there’s an actual change with a plan, not just 100 Luigi’s for every 1 CEO

It’s really scary that this isn’t any sort of meme now. This is the literal image that these psychos have when looking at POC

You know, this makes me think of Luigi and how his sentencing will go. I assume: he will be sentenced to public execution, and be used as a martyr for the rich to send a message for us peasants,“this is what happens when you want to play hero”

I don’t think it’s that no one is taking him seriously, it’s that the wrong people ARE taking him seriously

Literally 1984

One of the things that stuck out to me while reading in school was the sexual frustration part

Wait, your telling me this was on purpose? I just thought the cyberjunk was so shit, someone visiting the building just HAPPENED to blow up

I dunno. As the saying goes,“You are what you eat.” And our elected “leader” advocates the leading producer of junk food.

Maybe if the American populace had actual nutrients in their bodies instead of butter and lard, we’d be able to critically think for once

All this insecurity about tariffs has me hoping he have a Boston Tea Party situation. If I recall the story correctly, they threw the expensive British Tea overboard to protest the tax.

Similarly, I also recall a sugar tax, and either an ink or paper one: basically, I hope I can see something similar to see there’s still a small piece of American values from our ancestors (not the twisted Conservative heaven MAGA wants, but on the American dream of freedom, liberty, and justice for ALL.)

No Taxation Without Representation!

I’d like to imagine this but I’m too disappointed. I think it’s pretty naive to hope anyone is looking out for us. Everyone is out for themselves, so make sure you can talk without the picture watching.

“you are now less valuable than the data you produce”

Guys, I’m starting to think Trump isn’t meant to run a country.

I wonder what it’ll take for for us to kick him to the curb by hand instead of waiting for the justic system to…not do justice against those who deserve it.

Ok I think this should finally bring to light how TOS should not be enforceable contracts. As

1- its common knowledge that the average person does not read TOS. Therefore, it should be unreasonable to expect the average consumer to have completely understood what they have agreed to, without any legal representation to clarify the contract

2 - TOS are written like legal jargin straight from the legal department. Unfortunately, the client base is either 10 year olds lying about their age, 80 year olds who barely understand what a TOS is, and the average consumer who was never presented with a contract, just a simple “Accept or Decline”

3 - If TOS is meant to be as enforceable as it is, then we need a new set of data laws / seperate justice system to actually regulate those TOS. From what I understand, real life laws still apply to contracts where both parties consented. Aka, even if you agreed to kill someone who wanted to die, murder is illegal.

I hope we can bring some real change instead of letting this go to the side too. I was hoping the Disney thing would be bigger than it was, but then again who’s taking Disney to court and surviving? It’s sad to think they can get away with this, and its sadder to know we’re less valuable than the data we produce.

Then why the fuck do we not revolutionize and impose a 3rd party? I swear, I have to go down to DC myself to make people realize WE NEED TO GO OUT AND ACT!!! If NO ONE is happy with either party, we should be able to decline either candidate until we can all agree we found a compitent one. God, does anyone know of any revolutionary groups? I know the founding fathers didn’t just declare independency and establish governmemt. They actually met up and planned how to knock these rich assholes off their thrones.

Call me insensitive, but shouldn’t we be more worried about the terrorists on our home soil before fighting foreign lands. As in, every idiot who thought Jan 6 was a good idea. Because I can already picture the unhappy voters reaction whether Dems or MAGA wins.

2 have been fired at Trump, and they’re investigating for Kamala.

And the worst part is: I STILL don’t know who the bad guy is. Israel? Palestine? How should I know, I can barely process the legislation and corruption that was alllowed to pass on our home soil.

Anyway I hope to become more informed on this issue now, seeing as our leader HAS to know a solution. Even though one candidate shouldn’t even be able to walk freely. And I hope everyone else does as well
