Bullshit, no leftist will ever want that.

2 hours drive for basic healthcare? Bullshit.

30 minutes in a rural area with public transportation, tops.

Also, a full investigation on why a 12 year old was pregnant.

    In my county, where the two main candidates for county executive are both conservative fuckwads bickering over which one is the "real" conservative (and which one is the "RINO" 🙄), a major point of contention is whether a new bus maintenance facility will "bring in people from the city" (the obvious racism implied but not directly stated).

    One of them is saying "So-and-so wants to fund a new transit facility which will bring in those people from the city."

    A sane response would be "So? Fund the damn infrastructure."

    Not here. The other guy is like "LIES! The new maintenance facility won't establish any new routes, so those unwanted city folk will remain where they are and not bother us here!"

    Yeah... I don't think my county is getting public transit any time soon... and I feel this may be representative of the outlook in many conservative counties across the US...

    There are two flavours of fascism. you can separate them by public transportation or car centric

    Fascist Italy: public transport fascism

    Nazi Germany: Car centric fascism

    USA: Car centric fascism

    Israel: Public transport fascism

    Those are just four examples of fascism. I don't see how the transportation infrastructure is correlated in any way with the fascism, other than how it might influence the logistical planning that would be necessary whether the administration is fascist or otherwise.

    It's like saying "hitler and mussolini both ate food. Noticing a pattern there? Well, trump, putin, and netanyahu eat food too! That makes it a trend. Eating food must be fascist." Just stop.

    To clarify, it was a very unserious and minor observation. it doesn't go any deeper than that.

    Well I personally believe society is already descending into idiocracy fast enough and I don't feel the need to contribute to that by injecting unserious observations into serious discussions. I'd prefer if some spaces on the internet remain open to the possibility of intelligent discussion without obfuscating things by raising deliberately BS points...

    I get that this is a meme community, but I wouldn't exactly call this a shitpost...

  • it's just interesting that in some fascist applications, it's all about hyperinfocidualism and public transportation are seen as woke bs.

    while others focus on the state and public transportation is seen as a national pride, because it's good for the state.

    wouldn't call it a shitpost either, just a curious observation.

    Not to mention they're advocating for a 12 year old to go through labor

    They also didn’t start when she was 12, that’s just when she began menstruating and thus got pregnant.

    I heard today that paedophilia is now within the American Overton window. This post shows it, this chud at no point thought that a 12 year old girl being pregnant was weird.

    In some ways I think it's a side effect of the abortion debate. Quite often states would carve out exceptions in their laws for rape and many times the debate would circle around this idea that children that are the victims of a crime should retain access to abortion.

    Now that anti-abortion folks have been successful in many states they are simply going against the exceptions in the law. Which leads to this messed up bullshit.

    Then of course there is the current Trump-Epstein effect too

  • not sure if it's because abortion. given Republicans were pushing child marriage laws for decades, regardless of abortion access.

    it also more likely because so much of the political establishment are in the Epstein files that pedophillies are major part of the elected officials. and in the most direct way, within the Overton window

    Maybe you could have linked the uncommon term instead? Just for the convenience of others.

    They see her as the problem “for not keeping her legs closed” based on things they’ve said.

    Brother I’m starting to think they see her as the problem for not keeping her mouth shut and creating a medical record of the situation the way things seems to be shaping up in this ever-increasingly revealed-to-be-horrific country

    Steve Hofstetter (comedian) is a fantastic human being, AFAICT. 🥰🤘🏼
