I don’t think their lives are either, DragonFucker.
But Harris wasn’t going to make them safer or even stop things getting worse. Ask them if they felt safer in 2023 or in 2018.
Your anger is better focused at Trump and Co in particular, and the US government in general than regular random people on the street.
As for me, I wish I had a plan. I’d just assumed Harris was going to win, but here we are.
I think we might differ on how bad we think the status quo of neoliberal US is, DragonFucker.
It may be harder, certainly more violent.
But maybe a wider range of society will be more motivated to take direct action.
Edit: and yes, my theory does explain Nazi Germany. A weak, capitalist state where Socialists and Communists were gaining ground electorally led to far right non-winners given power because that was more palatable than ceeding more ground to the Left. And after that it left global capitalism in a stronger state than ever.
It was a choice between neo-fascist now or neo-fascist later, DragonFucker.
Can you not at least see how people might want to try to find other paths forwards and actually make changes?
I was all for telling folks to vote prior to the election, but I can hugely empathise and understand why they didn’t.
Kids in cages, anti-Trans laws, bombs to Israel and Saudi Arabia have only gone up from Bush to Obama to Trump to Biden. The system is the same, it just gets to mask off a bit when Trump is at the helm.
Yes, chat gpt deliberately spelt words wrong and kept it’s sentences straight forwards and without bizzare, unweildly, clauses. 🤔😂
That was after eloping from the second kidnapping/“rescue”.
But did the wolfman consent for the city to be built in his pack-lands?
There were forced historectomies women were made to undergo in ICE custody.
This is malinfornation and false[1](https://reason.com/volokh/2024/06/27/judge-concludes-nbcs-allegations-of-mass-hysterectomies-by-doctor-at-ice-facility-were-false-may-have-been-knowingly-recklessly-false/)
The official bipartisan US government investigation put it at 2, your Reason link lists 1. So a long way from the “mass hysterectomies” that were the sensationalist claims made. You’re right to push back on it.
There were still over 40 cases of invasive gynecological procedures done without consent, but it is not the claim made.
Fucking over people outside of the US is a short term strategy that means ever more people are waiting for a chance to take the US down.
Don’t expect all the vassal nations to come to the US’s aid, because the more bridges get burnt and the more the US looks like a hypocritical bully the more the fall will hurt when it comes.
I thought MJ in heaven with all those kids was a bit of a giveaway, personally.
Only when not looked at on a global scale (such as 1% owns 99% being assumed to be about the USA rather than global wealth). Mormengil’s opening response is very feels over facts (also the claim that there was no state support for the poor can be technically true, but churches and local elite as well as royal dictat were often involved in poor relief and charity in the Middle Ages), the later response are better detailed.
And in the 1200s, global wealth inequality and access to food was for much of the world better or comparable to where it is now.
But global wealth inequality and access to food got worse after colonisation rearranged American and then African economies for European, and then USAian, benefit.
AI is already filled with implicit bias towards the current status quo. It can be very tricky to get AI chatbots to give anything other than platitudes about inequality, and they’re often very quick to try to shut down or redirect talk of system change. To think that they’ll not reflect continued post colonial and extractivist systems of power seems, to me, shortsighted.
It would be amazing.
Fan edit, spoofs, redubs, fan commentary tracks, watch alongs.
It could be a cultural renaissance.
So you’re arguing what exactly?
That since they both came in an oppressed the local Arabs of the 1830s (who are in no way ever included in the definition of Palestian?) and took their land that but migration continued so the Israeli pushing of Palestinians off of the land is just a continuation of what both sides did to the definitely never Palestinian Arabs who were there earlier and so it isn’t wrong?
You’re not wrong in that if the Palestinian death toll hasn’t swayed someone already, they’re probably not going to be swayed.
I’d hope its to convince the government of Israel to get rid of corrupt leader Netanyahu, and to work towards an equitable two state peace agreement with an independent Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza.
Or failing that, to convince people that unconditional support of the current Israeli government is bad, actually. Something many Israeli themselves believe (not to mention non-Israeli Jews).
An acidic heat
I’ll give you the story as I can recall it…
The trip was reliving the person’s life from top to bottom, and at various points hearing huge applause or boos or an emotional rection of some kind, and turning round and seeing that they were on the set of “This Was Your Life” with a huge studio audience. The presenter would give a prize, joke or something and ask some questions which led back to reliving their life and soon forget about the “show” until the next time the crowd went wild. It is said it felt like a lifetime, I don’t know how long the trip lasted in measured time.
This is basically what a DMT trip can be like I’ve heard. With infinite forgetting and noticing the being viewed conceit again.
Yes but also most of those films were bad at the time too.
It certainly sold itself as feminist and forward thinking, but the conservatism of USociety certainly took control of the scripts early on.
But Purges are a right wing phenomena to attack society, they’d never be able to off a millionaire.
A day or two before Musky gets on his private jet and flies off to a third country, or a private island or somewhere while right wing hate groups kill off minorities, leftists, and political critics.
