Imagine a capital juggernaut like Amazon invested in truly renewable energy instead of just trying to be power hungry assholes trying to race Google to the AI market.
The amount of technology that they could create simply from these investments could change the course of our planet. But, no. Line must go up next quarter. Not 2 years from now.
In terms of politics, “the freedom to choose” not to vaccinate.
The “saner” arguments of the anti-vax movement is parents and individuals should have the right to not vaccinate.
But bare in mind that these arguments are rooted in the same conservative arguments: rules apply to YOU. They don’t apply to ME. I am a Christian and therefore know what’s best. The law exists to protect me from YOU and allow ME to punish YOU.
Bottom line is that this isn’t about vaccinations as much as it is about allowing conservatives to ignore government regulations that have been oPpReSsInG tHeM.
The Democrats seem to think misogyny played a part, yes, but I’m not convinced that this was the case. It’s an easy excuse. But it glosses over a problem that Democrats have not been willing to face for almost 20+ years.
They are convinced that if they become the center, they’ll win the majority.
The Harris campaign ran the same play as the Clinton campaign: I’m not Trump.
The only case of misogyny that I can see is that Biden ran the same campaign. But the problem with this argument is that we were in a Trump presidency. The effects of it were clear to voters. If you carry over this logic to Biden, Harris lost not because she was a woman but the effects of the Biden presidency was clear to voters.
Harris had the opportunity to come out as progressive. To go further than Biden. To guarantee colleges loan forgiveness for everyone. To come out against healthcare companies. To come out against the alt right.
But she didn’t.
She played the same plays as Hilary: I’m not Trump. I’ll save democracy. Israel is cool.
The sad thing is she could be leading the charge right now to help organize people against fascism. If she really learned any lessons from her campaign, she’d be with Bernie and doing tours to help people protest.
The DNC would rather eat crumbs that fall off the table than risk biting the hands that feed it (corporations). They have lost legitimacy in my book and will only support them as opposition to the fascists because there isn’t another option. If a true progressive party gains momentum, you can bet that the DNC and GOP will work together to push progressives out.
Has anyone gone to her other links? Matrix, discord, etc?
The FBI is literally run by incels.
Must be the CIA.
Unless these cops are in superposition, they can’t be both protecting Tesla and, say, in their actual cars.
Their numbers are finite.

Why should they get arrested for a crime that someone else noticed?
This was Putin’s goal. Destabilize NATO. Crumbling US alliances is just the cherry on top.
We are losing long friends and close allies.
All because a plurality of voters want to feel powerful.
Even if it’s for a brief moment.
There is nothing for you there except bots and dead accounts.

Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line.
In other words: Republicans will consistently vote for anyone with an R. Democrats need to be convinced to vote for their candidate.
This is why a general strike won’t work. There are just too many people trying to go big when you need to go local.
I can’t get people at my company to even discuss a union let alone a strike. This type of action only works when people feel that they have solidarity behind them. If you’re the only one in your company striking, you’re getting fired, regardless of how illegal it is. Even if you have 3% of the population with you, you’ve singled yourself out.
You just can’t do this kind of stuff virtually. It needs to be highly localized and highly visible.
I’m pouring my resources into local acts of resistance. You want to make an impact? Talk to your local food bank or homeless shelter. Want to do more? Call a probono law firm or immigration attorney and volunteer.
I don’t know enough about tiktok to know about it’s tools so thank you!
They believed they were the exceptions. Because they got theirs. It’s all those other illegals that are bad.
It’s tiktok. Click at your own risk.
“Those who made peaceful reform impossible have made violent revolution inevitable.”
“If you can’t be handsome, be interesting. If you can’t be interesting, be useful.”
I can’t remember who said it but it seems to fit here.
We are marching towards another civil war.
DNS level ad blocks have been a huge game changer for me. When I play games at home, no ads. Then when I go out and play those games, I forget that they have ads.
