See picture.

A weak excuse used by chicken shits.
I like to keep it simple. Everything aside, this is what a large chunk of the population voted in. I don’t care about policies. I don’t care about politics. On a core “decent human being” level a large chunk of the population is ok with this man representing them.
Speaks volumes of every single person that supports him and the party that props him up.
Way before COVID I got hired at a bank the same time as another dude who was “off” about one week in we both show up except he was high as a fucking kite. He got escorted out then and there.
Like wtf my dude you’re here to do a job show some respect!
I really swing between VOY being peak Trek or the worst.
More Americans need to read “The Federalist Papers”. This shit was telegraphed centuries ago. Dead ass people wanting a Presidential Republic.
Or the fucking pervasive mobile devices in front of our faces from a young age?
The original Xbox controller for the North American release. I swear it was made for Paul Bunyan it was fucking massive.
As long as it’s between two consenting adults I really don’t give a shit.
Nazi Germany as an example was a populist and nationalist movement that rose out of the austerity plan from WW1. Yes it is very much linked with fascism.
What we are experiencing in America and Canada right now is a rise in populism and nationalism which again is dragging fascism along on its heels. Again, they are all very much tied together.
Beyond that I’m not going to argue with someone with their head up their ass. History has proven again and again that Populism, Nationalism and Fascism are all similar and travel together repeatedly. Do they always? No.

Look at the example. See how in a Venn diagram they overlap?
I brought it up because the 3 overlap pretty consistently. If you have a rabid nationalistic, fascist or populist movement chances are it has symptoms of the other 2.
That is not to say that rampant nationalism means fascist. Populism doesn’t mean fascism to your example.
I can’t believe I have to explain this to someone but here we are.
Do you even math bro? Look up Venn Diagram examples.
If there was a Venn diagram, populism and nationalism and fascism all overlap beautifully.
I worry for my kids. I’m doing the best I can to keep the anger out of their hearts but Jesus Christ the world is so angry right now and they don’t know where to put it.
Rough times ahead and strongly recommend everyone keep those you care about close.
I get where you’re coming from with needing an official diagnosis for work accommodations, but none of your friends are really going to demand to see a doctor’s note, so why would personal relationships depend on an official diagnosis?
The same reasons as from a professional experience. Yes they aren’t going to pull the doctor’s note but neither is work IMHO. What it does is provide more weight behind your words of “hey I’m not just googling this shit. I’m not just an insufferable asshole looking to validate that I am. I’m actually working with a psychologist.”
Friends, just like coworkers, etc. care less of the diagnosis. They want to know you’re working on you because I’d argue writ large people want to see you succeed. A self-diagnosis can help but it doesn’t give you access to all the tools you may need to succeed so from the outside I would argue that official diagnosis matters. It means you now have someone else on your “team” be it a GP or a psychologist or whatever helping you navigate things.
Wait until we vote in career politician and general asshat PP. We will be fucked in 2025.
I’ve had conversations with people about “how can you love the news so much? It’s so negative and depressing!”
The best I’ve explained it is first and foremost you need to understand and appreciate we are a deeply flawed creature and there’s a beauty in that. How could someone not love life for that? I am in a dingy alley having a tea right now I can smell garbage, I can hear the drone of the city around me, everything is stained. But if I look up the sky is beautiful and blue, cute girls are walking by, someone is smoking a flavoured cigar.
If you’re unwilling to appreciate it all, you will struggle on appreciating any of it. Happiness is what you make of the world around you and if you are not willing to be happy inside no external event will change that.
Also a great horror movie
