      Believe me I want to go back in time and kill Reagan as much as anyone else but we’re having trouble sourcing elemental Oganesson for the time machine.

        Well, it was more than just Reagan that caused it. Much like Trump was a symptom, not a cause, so was Reagan. Capitalists were consolidating control against labor and prohibiting the government from being able to directly compete against firms when they are monopolizing labor was a huge incentive for them to neuter those policies. It was an inevitability that only a general labor strike could have prevented, but the agreements made in the New Deal prevented that from happening.

        Some people idolize FDR, but his assuaging and incorporation of the unions into the capitalist system was likely the biggest blow to their potential political capacity and long term viability for true social change. He was a screwd, smart bastard.

          Nah, Reagan was secretly Balam, Duke of Hell, in command of forty legions of demons. When we get the time machine up and running I’m going to pop back to 1959, blast him with some buckshot made from melted down altar bowls, and that should fix everything.

          Uh… kill kill kill blood shoot stab
