Yeah, blocked hexbear too.

Those people are absolutely fucking unhinged and do not engage in any sort of good faith argument.

After one round, I got name called, after round two asking for clarification, I just left.

Time is precious, the squirrels in my yard are more coherent than these chucklefucks.

Hell, even two crows would be better

As a current landlord about to extend a lease at exactly the same terms for 3rd year in a row (and I fix everything within 24 hours) - I agree with this too.

It's ridiculous that my largest store of value is a speculation bubble and a piece of paper with my name on it

At least then they could afford to have a heart attack. Heck, have two

They can issue orders. Not all are legal. But since they replaced the JAGs, this might be closer to reality.

Niooce.

The goons in John Wick have more credibility than cops. I'd love a franchise where it's just John Wick gunning down these IRL goons and knock it off with this thin blue line propaganda horseshit

Nah, we tried appealing to the center shit and that got us nowhere. Go hard on restoring working class America. Fuck racism, sexism, and ignorance - that shit got us a slow slide down to where we are now .

Kick the fucking oligarchs out and tax the fuck out of them. Rich should mean enough money to be very comfortable and never worry again, but not enough to buy elections.

Well, AOC is often only referred to by her initials

This advice is indistinguishable from unsolicited mail wanting to buy houses in cash at above market rate... Presumably so Blackrock can jack it up, restrict supply, and charge way more while doing way less.

Which is exactly what OP post is trying to fix.

I'm not a hero, but I'm doing what's fair given the system we have. Even I'm saying this is fucked, but it's the best I can do to affect things for the better.

I didn't realize muscle was so flabby

I think the bigger issue isn't even cost. Fuck, most people in CA can deal with $30 if the process was instant. Let's not pretend that's what stopping people

The real issue is taking the day off from work to wait your ass in DMV lines when you really rather just stay home in bed if you're gonna spend a day not grinding down to a mental break

Besides bluesky, can we start seeing more of the protests here on lemmy? And see it flood the pages here? If someone just posts one a day from each location, that will kick start enough people to join

It's not meaning. It's just a mechanism. It's the canvas to what we do and ascribe meaning to.

Then again, our "meaning" might simply be a mechanism to another system

Wealth tax can treat early infections if used aggressively enough.

You'll need surgery to treat the current condition.

More reason to get off Google maps

Just call it what it is. It's fascist. It's the fascist party. All of these - afd, maga, same unimaginative shit.

Inventing new terms is what these fuckers want. Remind them they're not new and been wrong before.

/s

Here you go. You forgot this.

Actually, I think it shows how susceptible people are to what media tells them. The word is getting out to resist and organize. Traditional media doesn't have full control, but it is working to slow the reaction down.

Furthermore, people have a much tighter leash to their corporate overlords/sponsors, they have to be strategic about which protest (if they even have the energy).

So yeah, it's dumb and circumstances. But we've been been engineered down this path for the past few decades, it's coming for you too.

Fuck capitalism.

Get this sanewashing propaganda shit out of here.

Sigh... you wish violent protest would be common.

This country is so neutered on peace messages and frazzled in disinformation we can't even march in a single direction together.

Everyone is one paycheck away from losing everything, and don't want to bank it on the fact that the protest they skip work for will change anything... Because so far they haven't.

Maybe it's time to go door to door asking people to join a march to DC and every capitol?
