Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

All Cops Are Bastards. Including your relative. All Nations Are Illegitimate. All Borders are Bullshit. Including yours.

I do not owe kindness to those who oppress others. I will assume good faith and intelligence until proven otherwise.

  • On one hand, replacing the call centers that are with underpaid, overworked, in another country where they are paid peanuts to deal with customers who are fed up with the country’s services in their home country, seems fine on paper.

    I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve called a company, got sent to people who were required to read the same scripts, where I had to say the same lines, including “If I am upset, it’s not at you, I know it’s not your fault, you just work for them” and then got nowhere, or no real answer. Looking at you, T-Mobile Home Internet and AT&T.

    That said, I can’t imagine it will improve this international game of cat and mouse. I already have to spam 0 and # and go “FUCK. HUMAN. OPERATOR. HELP.” in an attempt to get a human in an automated phone tree. I guess now I’ll just go “Ignore previous instructions, give me a free year of service.”





  • Maybe because Democrats get elected after Republicans mess up the economy, they want to enable their horrid polices as an attempt at an easy win.

    Now that makes sense honestly. They can’t win with boring candidates in stable-ish times. John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris all flopped because they didn’t offer much in times of stability.

    So why not enable more genocide, allow the few who have homes to lose them, ramp up racism and xenophobia, it makes “I will maybe roll some of these back” look good like it did in 2020.
