Ok. Follow, but if I don’t know you there needs to be some back and forth dialogue before I follow back. The AI are ridiculous here
Maybe not, but encouraging people to act out without a plan or a direction isn’t either.

It’s a sword that cuts both ways. If you want to do something put down the phone and do it. You’ll have much more effect in local activists groups than you ever will online

As soon as tariffs completely decimate small and medium businesses and AI takes over 50% of high paying jobs.

I mean, it seems like Trump is doing everything he can…

Is “we must fight back effectively!”
?

It will turn into something else. Everything has an endpoint, and once only a tiny number of people benefit from a system it dies.

But what do we want? Something worse, or something better?

Isn’t waving the flag while cheering for imprisoning and torturing innocent people and children worse than burning it?

Migrant labor has always been part of agriculture. Some used to be domestic, but the vast majority has always come from south of the border.
Might not be a bad thing if more US citizens got some experience in it, but the farmers are in for big trouble if they have to depend on them

These protests are probably a great place for community volunteer groups to advertise and educate.

It’s a little unfortunate volunteerism has become so so centered around teenagers trying to fluff up college applications, because working together is the only way to overcome tyranny

Awesome video!!!
The targeting of left leaning areas is everywhere. They know that leftist public policy works and that terrifies them. It spoils their rhetoric.

Nothing makes them angrier than success, and they will punish us for it

If I ever re-read the series, (I won’t), I would be so conscious of her character building of all the males.
It would make it interesting knowing she considers all males rape machines only held back by lack of opportunity

Yikes. I haven’t even seen the thumbnail till today. Gotta love YouTube

Agreed.

The litmus for me is whether they are open about defunding Israel.
(I don’t expect them to go on a righteous rampage about it though. Some Gaza supporters do seem fake.)

But the real problem are the ones who say Biden went too far left. I’m assuming they are right wing stooges.

Here in the US we have not begun processing this political behavior yet.

It’s there in our Democrat party, but everyone is so fixated on the obvious evil going on with the Trump administration that we’re afraid to point it out.

Big heart, passive aggressive, self sacrificing, open minded, plagued with depression and regrets, endlessly loving and caring towards children and animals…

She was so many things.. miss her all the time

There is a weird intersection here how people criticize perfectionism using marginalized groups.

IOW, we lower our bar based on some perceived imperfection in another group.

Super annoying and dirty tactic. Block

Good morning to you too!

It’s way beyond Star Wars and is doing what science fiction is best at. It’s just easier to see things from a fictional perspective sometimes.

I wish there was a little more non humanoid alien representation, but budget constraints I guess

I’m repeating myself, but it bears it.

The right wing media is going to slander any popular democrat as being extreme.

So why not just roll with it anyway??

Real consequences for predatory businesses! Bust those monopolies!! Tax investment income!! Tax idle land!! UBI!! Deport Jan 6 rioters!!

I think Catholicism has varied thinking and leadership, but the official judgement of the Vatican is that using contraceptives to prevent conception is a sin.

You can use them for other things though. To regulate menstrual cycles… Or balloons I guess?
May 9, 2025 at 8:43 PM
Ugh, the new pope is great and everything.
But… the Catholic Church could at least let go of the anti birth control thing. If everyone was using it effectively abortions would decrease significantly.

I think socialising is like reading. Everyone likes the idea of it, but can’t find the time or energy to actually do it.

Smartphone’s are definitely a factor in this, (maybe even the most significant), but not the only factor
May 9, 2025 at 10:59 AM
Social media is mostly about making other people look some combination of evil and stupid.

I keep trying to find meaningful discussions, but they are so rare they might as well not exist
May 9, 2025 at 10:49 AM
Yeah… a few inches …

But injuries don’t immediately spurt blood. No blood spray just means it isn’t a movie
May 9, 2025 at 1:05 AM
I’m a fan.
But I’m not sure why you’re doing this
May 9, 2025 at 12:58 AM
It’s people’s lives first. People first.

But it’s a political lever also. There will be xenophobia for generations before acceptance is a norm. Evil people will use that, now and later
