Your protest vote or non-vote won't "bring on the revolution" - it will only speed up the end of civilization. I suspect you don't care, which makes you complicit. But if you DO care, please open your eyes and let's get rid of the fascists if we even still can? Thanks, nice chat. 731164256

Reader @gleonsluggsworth.bsky.social · 02/07/2026"Job creators" are a myth. Corporations hire humans when they HAVE to. The minute that humans can be replaced by machines, AI, or low-wage workers overseas, corporations jump at the chance to "downsize." Job creation is not the goal: job elimination is. 010

Reader @gleonsluggsworth.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Worth a read You might think higher ed is b.s. (and a lot of it is), but anti-democracy movements all start by attacking universities. There's something about people reading and thinking and sharing ideas that is very threatening to autocrats. Remember Drumpf saying, "I love the poorly educated." 000
Reader @gleonsluggsworth.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Platner is a bad guy, & soon we will learn he is WORSE than we thought. There are too many red flags and bad life choices.
