I'm tired
@lukesenesac.bsky.social
Tired night shift retail worker, progressive Army veteran, proud father/husband.

Hated by whackadoodles for having boring/normal viewpoints.
Republicans will openly tell the American public that they want to institute Hungarian style majoritarianism, and start a war with Mexico

And people who are still bitter about 2020 will still say they're the same as the Democrats.

Ryan Grim and Briahna Joy Gray running a clinic on how to speak out of both sides of their mouths.

"On the one hand, the Biden administration's NLRB has made strides in promoting unions. And unions are instrumental in reducing poverty. On the other hand, what about the bad vibes?"

Fucking joke.

So there's this one party that wants to help enfranchise people both politically through protecting voting rights and enabling/strengthening trade unions.
And there's this other party that wants to disenfranchise voters, and empower capitalists to the detriment of society. But they're the same. 🙄
Flattening parties to the point you can't recognize that one of them is literally fascist is not the big brained take you think it is.

Recognizing a system is corrupt doesn't absolve you of using your brain to understand the reality of the situation on the ground.

The war in Ukraine keeps making the two ends of the horse shoe bend closer together.
green party has been a spoiler for a few decades but in the last ten or fifteen years theyve gone completely off the deep end into conspiracy laden racism

My dog ate something off the floor a week ago is in a potentially life threatening situation.

I need to take her in for surgery, but I'm stuck stocking shampoo and cough medicine because my company's sick leave policy is laughably restrictive.
I hate America sometimes. Care always comes last here

America is making enough money to tell anyone they can fuck themselves.

But also working the graveyard shift for union Healthcare.
I worked the night shift with a guy that had already put his kids through school and owned enough property to live off his investments.

He was only working nights for the Healthcare. So, that tracks.

I've been drinking caffienated water instead of energy drinks during night shifts. And I'm 100% convinced that the burst of energy comes from the ungodly amount of sugar and not the caffeine.

The water tastes nice. It just isn't hitting the same.

We've had statewide elections in Wisconsin and Ohio in the last FOUR MONTHS where conservatives made trans hate a central part of their message. They lost them both. Badly.

You want to sell out trans people so bad, you need to come up with a better excuse than "it's bad politics."
We are well into our fifth election cycle with conservatives attempting to use transphobia to win. In high salience elections, it has not moved votes.

"Progressives" insisting we need to betray trans people to win are either ignorant or afraid to admit their real goals.

I'm glad I have free Health coverage through my union. Sometimes it feels just as comprehensive and well ran as tri-care or the VA.

It's a big deal. And I'd keep working for the company I'm at for a long time just to keep it.

In the minds of every self professed communist online 'communism' involves serious analysis of history and how it shapes our world.

But also solving complex economic and social issues just requires humanity to basically pull a magic lever labeled 'communism.'

It's just so incoherent.

The first day I was on this app a large trans account attempted to have me dog piled for admitting that I don't feel comfortable calling myself a socialist. They regularly tout China as an example of the successes of socialism on their YT page. Meanwhile the Chinese government is doing this. 👇

Despite living most of my life in one of the hottest states in America (FL) I'm still the kind of mid-western Illinois transplant that drinks milk when it's hot and then regrets it.

👩‍💻🧑‍💻 "Look....you can either have capitalism or a dysfunctional state ran by a military Junta that imprisons everyone that criticizes them. Stop trying to make the current thing work liberals! We don't have time!" 😡🤬

-podcast subscribers, posters, and probably some DSA members? (🤷)

I used to watch Michael Brooks (RIP) back in 2018-2019. And they introduced me to political figures like Pepe Mochica. They portrayed him as a servant who lived off a modest salary when he was president. I later found out he held people hostage, and was an absolute maniac during the revolution .

It had me going for about 20 seconds.

And then I realized all he was doing was singing a song about neo confederate sentiments, trafficked through folkish language.

You know, the kind of stuff the brown shirts would do....

In the UPS contract fight there's two sides.

Members that organized and fought hard to elect a reformist slate that has delivered wins across the board, not just at UPS

And:

Podcasters and members of sectarian 'socialist' organizations with no stake in the outcome or skin in the game.
