I have some sympathy for these people. The event did not have enough garbage bins.

But imagine what the right would be saying if a Black Lives Matter event left behind piles of trash like this. 

Oh you know what they would be saying! They bitched about the left demonstrators leaving piles of trash and they bitched about the Occupy Wall Street protestors and the messes they made!

I fucking hate litter bugs. I don't even throw my cigarette butts on the ground or out my car window

I have some sympathy for these people. The event did not have enough garbage bins.

If you can carry it in full, you can carry it out empty. How heavy is an empty plastic water bottle anyway? Really? Is the MAGA gang really so weak that they can't carry empty plastic bottles to a recycle bin somewhere, even if that means taking it home to their own? Feeling bad for these polluters isn't sympathy, it's simp-athy.

I think people brought items to the event thinking they would be allowed to take them inside. They werent.

Then they should have taken them back to their cars. Was just dumping them on the ground really the best way to honor Kirk? Oh, wait, I forgot for a moment this was the MAGA gang we're talking about, so I guess representing themselves with a pile of garbage was quite apropos...

Who are the trash now?

"I would have expected better,"

Why?

The fact that humans can only survive on Earth doesn’t bother Trump – and I know why

He is surrounded by people who have grandiose plans and dreams beyond our planet. Vengeful nihilism is a big part of the Maga project.

In thinking about the war being waged against life on Earth by  Donald Trump , Elon Musk and their minions, I keep bumping into a horrible suspicion. Could it be that this is not just about delivering the world to oligarchs and corporations – not just about wringing as much profit from living systems as they can? Could it be that they  want  to see the destruction of the habitable planet?

Vengeful nihilism, the destruction of what they do not love, know or understand, is a major theme in  Maga politics . It is applied as viciously to culture and science as it is to the natural world. It is hard to avoid the thought that environmental destruction is not just a means by which Trump serves his corporate backers, but an end in itself.

If the US were really suffering an “energy emergency”, you would expect the government also to accelerate the deployment of renewable power. Instead, Trump has   frozen it . You might also expect it to insist that energy is used more sparingly; instead, his team is deleting   fuel economy standards . This looks like payback to the fossil-fuel industry that helped   elect him .

But other policies look more like gleeful vandalism. The   devastating staffing cuts   at national parks and forests won’t help any of his corporate backers. But they will degrade the experience of visitors, while jeopardising wildlife and habitats.

MAGA doesn't give two shits about a planet that isn't exclusively run by them for them. If they have to share with others they'd rather just shit in the punch bowl and laugh at the people they gave shit mustaches to. It doesn't bother them at all that they're wearing one as well, they simply have no shame. And they blame their lack of shame on liberals for daring to challenge their religious ideology with what they see as "insanity!" Women marrying Women! Men marrying Men! Strange new genders they can't wrap their heads around even though there have been hermaphrodites and those with undetermined gender at birth since before recorded history. It's all just too much for them so they said, for lack of better words, "Fuck it!". Their religion promises them salvation and an eternity at Gods right hand while also getting to punish their enemies by sending them to eternal torment and they don't even have to pick up their own trash at a funeral, it's the best possible religion for lazy braindead bigots with an undeserved superiority complex like themselves.

Would I be considered a nihilist if I wished for a giant asteroid to hit the earth?

Take Earth back to 1.0

Would I be considered a nihilist if I wished for a giant asteroid to hit the earth?

Well, yeah, sort of. You'd be death-wishing possibly all of humanity along with likely 98% of the planet's carbon-based life forms.

In the scope of the universe, it wouldn't amount to anything more than a pimple pop. But for humans, it would basically mean passing the torch to some unknown future lifeform which might rule our planet someday but may never achieve self-awareness. But again, that would only be important from the perspective of a self-aware species like ourselves. Without us, who even knows if there is another self-aware species in the entire universe?

But back to your point, I get it. And I don't think it's that far off from what the MAGA gang feel, which is that the world has gone to hell and redemption would just take too long with no guarantees. However, the thing to keep in mind is that millions of good-hearted people with vision, tempered by empathy, have kids who will one day take a stab at surviving on this spherical rock hurtling through space, and I want to have hope for them and what they'll achieve. We've come a long way from the stone age and I don't believe these bigoted religious rando's are going to stop what my children and their grandchildren will someday achieve. Will it look anything like the backward world of the MAGAverse? Maybe in some isolated hollars that rational people avoid, but that will not be the norm. You'll likely see them on display in some 22nd century holocaust museums, and not as the victims, but they won't be determining the future of America let alone the planet. Someday they'll be nothing but the last gasps of a dying archaic ideology that is studied by archeologists just like we study Egyptian and Greek mythology. "Okay class, and who did the early 21st century bigoted whites in America worship and believe would usher in a new era of white power? That's right, Donald Trump, the same 34 times convicted felon and admitted sex offender we read about in the last chapter...".

Thank-you. I feel better now.

Ok I stop wishing for giant asteroids

I find it interesting that you think he will deserve any mention except to be added to the list of "Don't behave like this guy".... 

It’s not that surprising. They held a big event at a stadium, with basically no warning, and no planning.

Also, either they’ve deported most of the people who would have done this work, or those people had better sense than to show up on that day.

The magas turned Glendale AZ into a shithole.  Figures.

Someone should probably send in the Guard.

I’m sure they had no qualms about leaving their trash behind.  They’re getting raptured so just leave the trash for us sinners to deal with.
