I can’t wait for the 99.99% to continue to do absolutely nothing about it.

The USA has an incredibly stupid populace very much on purpose. The billionaires that own them have spent the last 40 years killing education because stupid people are so much easier to control. You get a better education at a European high school than most USA colleges.

Keep this in mind every time you hear someone say that something is “to protect the children.”

You know what is incredibly easy to do to protect the children? Don’t fucking pepper spray and tear gas them. It’s so easy to do that I’ve been doing it my entire life without even trying.

Yep, not in the lifetime of any person currently living.

Sowing trust in a violent, repressive, fascist regime is a far worse idea.

Ah, no worries then. We all know that police departments in the USA are absolutely above reproach and are impossible to influence politically.

“Inspired by” = ripped off

Exactly - no USA stats are trustworthy in any context.

No statistics provided by any part of any government in the USA are reliable, and should not be believed in any context.

This should serve as a powerful reminder that nobody in the world, under any circumstances, should ever assist USA troops.

Yep. Anything that needs to connect to the internet to function is never entering my home.

USA health “care” is so profoundly fucked up.

They have already thrown out the results of a primary because they don’t like them. They’re redistricting like crazy to their own benefit right now. They’ve already clawed back decades of voter equality laws.

The midterms are already completely compromised and their outcome is already absolute bullshit.

No, it’s dead.

There are two kind of wages they can pay us. Living wages, and killing wages.

Yeah, it’s the surging gas prices. Sure, CEO man.

These idiots are so out of touch. $40 more a month in gas compared to 3 years ago isn’t what’s breaking me. It’s the $800/mo more in rent. It’s the $300/month more in groceries. It’s my electrical bill doubling because of a new AI slopcenter in my backyard. It’s being told by my boss that this quarter’s record profits weren’t record enough to fund a measly 2% raise for me.

But sure, my dude Mr. Kraft CEO. Blame the gas boogeyman.

I wonder how marbled Mr. Cahillaine’s sirloin is? Maybe it would be good with some Heinz 57 sauce.

Yep, nothing at all will happen to counter the continuing rise of USA fascism. MAGA will do whatever it wants and those opposed will do nothing more than write eloquent articles about which laws are being violated. They’ll be sitting in the gas chamber saying “Well actually, gas chamber mass executions like this one are unconstitutional because blah blah blah,” having never lifted a finger to oppose it in any practical way.

Anyone who still thinks democracy is still even slightly alive in the USA is delusional.

And you can flash 3rd party firmware too.

The opportunity for future enshitification is the main reason I’ll never connect mine to the internet. It’s a great printer, but I don’t trust any tech companies for basically the reasons you described.

My buddy has a Bamboo. It’s pretty good. My Snapmaker U1 is way better, and is actually open.
