onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ah, ok. Exonomics seems like such a blind spot for most people, including myself, that it is easily manipulated into a doomsday scenario type thing. 000
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That makes sense. But in terms of people who think the world is collapsing… they are saying that employment masks underemployment? I think that’s what they are saying… 000
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Oh I see… if you use their method for past employment rates it is still low? I see… 200
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I suppose they would retort they are underemployed? 100

onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026People keep mentioning functionally unemployed at 25% right now. Is that measurement more accurate than the 4.1% ? 100
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s real life, too. And it’s not even stated in panic’d outbursts. It’s casually stated as universal truths. It’s really incredible to witness in real time. A form of mass pessimistic delusion. 030

onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 15/09/2026No legislation is better than legislation. So repubs have the votes to pass anti-trans legislation. The dems do not bc so few of them are anti-trans. So to protect trans kids vote for the party that doesn’t have the votes to pass anti trans legislation. It’s pretty simple. 010
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You said pro genocide before. I could go on and have you move the goal posts further but this is tedious. Stop supporting the side that cut USAID and led to the deaths of three quarters of a million people and counting. Stop getting ratfucked each election cycle by monsters in the aid of evil. 240

onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Bc nothing of what you said or what Biden/Harris did can be construed as “pro genocide.” Even if they handled the situation poorly, it just can’t be said they are “pro-genocide.” Not in any thinking persons brain. So you either are a pawn in the ratfucking game or you are trying to ratfuck. 150
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 14/09/2026So are you ratfucking or are you being ratfucked? 140
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 14/09/2026So are you the mark or are you doing the ratfucking? Pro genocide? Like is that just an easy flippant way of talking about stuff or do you really believe the Democratic Party was pro genocide? 150
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Isn’t it also a contingent on the left who wants the whole system to go down. And the Dems are the last thing still propping it up? 081

But it isn't bribery. "Vote us into office and we'll do this policy thing you want" is the core of what political campaigns are. It would be a very bad idea to start criminalizing that. 3717428
onionspeedos.bsky.social @onionspeedos.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yeh I didn’t misunderstand what you were doing. It’s just a purity test. and it’s dumb, narrow thinking.
