They’re comparing the current administration, which is canceling all research and progress such as the invention of the wheel (or other scientific development), to the Neanderthals, who are in pop culture stupid and backward people.

But it falls flat because Neanderthals were smarter than Trump and Elon combined.

I was initially really confused by this meme because Neanderthals were actually creative and rather culturally rich, unlike this administration.

Awesome! I’ll add them to my list!

I want off this ride.

If American society as a whole devolves so much that I and everyone else are all fighting to survive together because we are all homeless, then society as a whole will look a lot different, structurally. I can’t speak to how resistance will look, in that case, because I don’t know what it will consist of. I imagine that we will have much better community support systems in place, since more will be needing them to survive.

I understand the community-first perspective. I agree that we survive together or die together. But we also can’t pour from an empty cup. I can’t help others if I’m fighting to survive, forced to spend time hunting down food and water and a warm bed, which also takes time away from protesting and helping others.

This American gets what you’re saying. I’m trying to figure out what I can do without ending up homeless.

That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.

Young millennial, actually.

What do we do?? What the fuck do we do??

Just got three of mine updated. I just don’t understand the anti-vaccine sentiment from parents were have been vaccinated their entire lives and have no adverse effects.

Like. The critical thinking is in the negative.

It’s my generation’s joke that social security wouldn’t be available for us to retire on, but seeing it actively dismantled fills me with an indescribable rage.

I understand that Canada doesn’t want to cause harm to anyone and also wants to protect itself, and that’s why leaders are backtracking, but it’d be nice if they did what they said they’d do.

That’s a fair critique. I definitely don’t feel like Canada and Mexico are doing anything wrong and the fault is entirely with the Trump administration.

I’m just tired, mate.

If it isn’t yet, where do I donate the funds to make it happen?

Updoot for the conversation starter.

I’d like a new acronym for my own use, when I don’t want to say all the letters and the situation requires quick communication (canvassing for political purposes, for example). I’d also like it for things like audiobooks, when the reader attempting to be inclusive suddenly becomes a verbal/audio burden…and it’s kind of annoying to listen to all of the letters over and over.

In written circles like research papers and social media, I don’t really care. It’s easy to get the gist of the letters without taking up too much time or energy, and it’s recognizable.

Yeah, our civilization deserves to fall.

I assume soda and other bottled drinks are included in this warning, as well as any other container lined with plastic, and I think some canned drinks and food are….which, uh, sucks.

I am interested in the relationship between stupid people and narcissistic people. Narcissism hurts both society and that individual, as well.

I’m tired of the highly-publicized threat to add tariffs and surcharges, followed by the quiet and ignored backtracking of the same. I’d like for leaders to stick to their word so I know what to expect day-to-day.

This constant pissing on each other’s legs as a show of dominance is fucking exhausting. I’d like off of this stupid merry-go-round.
