Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister

Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage

Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

No spam or scams
No porn or sexually explicit content
No illegal content
NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I just talked to my younger sister the other day. She has been on the verge of being homeless for the last 6 months, works an entry level fast food job because it's the only work she can find, and is actively dealing with serious mental health issues that have hospitalized her on more than one occasion. She has no idea what's going on, but would vote Republican in an election because of being pro life.

People like her will only become informed if the government drastically changes their life, positively or negatively.

A surprising number of US Americans seem to like it.

A surprising number of US Americans don't understand what's going on, You mean.

Do they though? I think the one thing nearly every US American can agree on is that shit's fucked. They all disagree on the cause or solution. (And half of people are high on fascist propaganda from FOX news or worse. And they're the ones actively causing the worst problems in the country.) But I don't think there's any significant amount of people in the US thinking "yeah, this is how a country should be." It's just that some are like "we're fucked because capitalism" and others are like "we're fucked because we haven't killed all the brown people yet". (And even the ones who are a little less delusional, are throwing their hands up saying "too bad there's nothing we can do about it".)

do we have to go back to posting beans or corn or jeans? There's been people oppressed all over the world for a good long while now, extrajudicial killings, etc etc. We get it. You guys suck. We are tired of hearing about you circling the drain.
