How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

Learning about history is a touch demoralizing when you realize we've been fighting this same fight basically since the beginning of civilization and the concept of wealth
I yearn for a day that wealth hoarding is seen as the detriment to everybody that it is and is abhorred instead of admired. Displays of wealth in a world with so many sufferiny disgusts me... i wish I could bottle and distribute that perspective.
I just wanna throw my own anecdote in here too; I was also really uncomfortable and uncertain making the decision but my dog got to the point where he was 17, blind, partially deaf, had nose polyps, and wasnt keeping food down or able to control his bladder for the last few days. I knew he was suffering and I didnt want his last days to be spent laying limp on a blanket in the living room hungry and in pain and he had started getting cognitive decline too and was starting to act scared because of it combined with his blindness.
The vet came over, i ordered mcdonalds chicken nuggets specifically just for my dog even if he wasnt able to eat them all, he got wrapped up in his favourite fuzzy blanket and the vet gave him a hero dose of the best doggy morphine im assuming money can buy
OP I knew I made the right choice when I saw aaaaall the pain leave his body when the painkillers hit. I was so used to him looking like the cryptkeeper I had forgotten what it looked like to see my dog without any pain in his joints or anxiety from his blindness. He transformed back into the happy little dog I knew right in front of my eyes and then he gently died being held by the people he loves with a belly full of nugs instead of wasting away for god knows how much longer.
It can feel wrong to make that decision for someone else but when I saw how much pain he had truly been carrying this whole time for the last parts of his life I realized it really was mercy and if I were in the same situation I would want that for me.
Unfortunately sometimes waiting CAN take too long. My dog was suffering and I wish I had seen it sooner but I waited and waited because he still had "good" days even if those good days were fewer and farther between. It hurts to think that he may have suffered when he didnt have to which is a harder thing to live with imho than choosing to guide him out gently.
Good praxis to avoid any kind of TERF or bigot in th9se industries because i swear theyre always the salon owners or stylists who will give you shitty sexisy unsolicited opinions on your aesthetic and will alienate their clients and end up burning out because people who arent also assholes dont like that
Like ive met these people and the bigotry is never in a vaccuum without other dogshit opinions AND its just stupid as a business owner to turn away a paying customer.
In Canada we are spending like 120% of our income on groceries and it isnt just the inflation but the compounding shrinkflation with climate crisis causing inclement weather that means crop insecurity...
It aint looking good and at this point companies are going to have to realize they cant profit if nobody has any money to spend
They will virtually always be outnumbered by counterprotesters when those counterprotesters actually choose to show up but therein lies the problem
A lot of people dont realize how bad things are getting and they dont realize that the lack of push back has emboldened chuds. If we dont show up and outnumber them every time their message goes on to be platformed as if it's a common consensus and they "win" by default. But people are so tired and burnt out and underinformed and dont have the motivation or backbone of organization and funding that the rightoids get.
If we cant get allies on board to bolster our numbers and stand up for us things will get much worse before they get better (if they ever get better)
As a definition? Someone covered it already: aware of social injustices at bare minimum. As a flag? Basically a stand-in for a word that would get someone else banned on a platform. Woke to a rightoid means a woman, ethnic, or of a culture that isnt white/christian/cishet nuclear family profile. I have heard "woke" used to describe Latin Jazz before. It literally just meant ethnic to him.
Everybody keeps playing by the rules when we see time and time again that the current administration doesnt care
It's like constantly hitting a brick wall. The rules are for everybody else, they are on a totally different system... hypocrisy doesnt matter for anyone else, they dont care if the law applies... What now?
