A society is always about 3 days of hunger away from a violent revolution. Start your clocks.

Good, it is completely unnecessary. It’s a bad solution to an old problem that already has much better solutions out there that are much more accessible too. They only made it so people will rely on them for everything and stop trusting others, but thankfully it failed. Canonical should be ashamed of themselves for ever trying this snap thing.
Fuck… I was squinting so hard up until I read that last sentence.
Fact: absolutely none of this would have happened if Kamala had won.
Shame she decided to support wildly unpopular policy and messaging instead of winning.
But uh but shes a woman. A brown woman. The horror,!
But she was going to kill Palestinians with her bare hands!
Yeah. But we would be listening to that laugh. I mean, did you even hear it?
I don’t think people are understanding your obvious sarcasm.
Yeah. That’s not surprising. The only thing worse than my sarcasm is a tan suit.
Clearly you’ve never put mustard on a hot dog
It’s mostly going to be the elderly who suffer. People just forget about old people. They can’t get out and go stand in line at food pantries.
Sometimes they don’t have anyone checking on them very often.
Most don’t know how to get online and find services and such.
If you have an elderly neighbor or family member. Try to check with them and see if they need help.
If only it was the elderly people in the government that suffered.
The leopards! They hunger!
This administration needs to be concerned about what happens when you have millions of people with nothing to lose anymore.
They want that
It’s mostly red states that get food stamps. …
yhea they want escalation.
but that doesn’t mean the best strategy is to do nothing.
Totally. But they have been begging for “Civil War”. Like it’s some Hero’s Journey and people won’t die. It’s so short sided and dumb I can’t believe they actually believe it’s for the better.
You can only get your civil war if there are two clear sides, divisible by geography and cultural lines.
When you just have a widespread, starving population, you get mobs and mass riots and government leadership dragged out of their homes and offices.
I am not sure at all what their game is. I know they want the chaos but surely they can’t be so dumb that they think this will… oh yeah, lol caught myself there. They’re that dumb.
DT is probably just thinking back fondly of his last visit to North Korea.
“Hey, what if I did that?!”
mate, it’s fascism, would you tell the french resistance against nazis to chill, because nazis want an excuse to escalate?
Let them eat cake
Good we should stop paying our taxes.
if there isn’t a government, why pay taxes to it?
actually, stupid question. but what percentage of people could do a tax strike, resulting in the government having no funds or means to go after all of them. and collapsing?
Billionaire class already not paying taxes.
Vast majority of working people have federal taxes automatically deducted from their checks before they even see a dime. Most people get refunds at the end of the year instead of having to pay, so it would be up to the self-employed and basically anyone who doesn’t file a simple form to start withholding their taxes.
I guess we could talk about getting everyone to adjust their paycheck withholdings but most people live under the assumption that “everything will blow over by next year” whatever the circumstances.
The issue is they will just write IOUs. It’s not like they can’t. They can also literally print money. So.
Well they print money so not really any amount of people, but at this point you are probably better off just paying taxes to your state, because the federal government is mostly just a Mafia middleman anyways, which has become very apparent under trump. Taking people’s own tax money away from them because they don’t like him or his terrible policies.
The reality is almost all of this money, well the part that is leftover to give back to the people, is given back to the states anyways, just with a bunch of strings and hands in it. The federal government likes this so that they can manipulate what is taught in schools and road laws and everything else. The states rely on getting their citizens money back from the federal government and so they get this defacto management by executive agencies and stuff.
Abolish the states = abolish taxes
We are a long, long, long, long way from doing away with borders, as true as the idea is for a better world.
Both sides.
BOOoOoTh SiIiiiiIIiiiiiiDESssssssssSsS!!
Biden is old, you see, and there was also a woman who wasn’t exactly adamant about Israel, so you have to starve now. But don’t worry, if you starve enough, something will surely happen. And if not, at least there will be a civil war, isn’t that great? You get to die in a random shootout, isn’t that wonderful? So glad we didn’t vote so this lady didn’t win.
True, but as for the last part -
we didn’t vote
We actually did. The even more depressing reality is the last three presidential elections had the highest turnout of registered voters and young voters in American history.
What’s fucked up is that exit polling showed that most people were entirely tuned-out and saw no difference between the candidates because most people don’t watch the news or politics, most people are uninformed on basic science and reason, most people have curated social media feeds that push attention-span erosion and right-wing propaganda, and a good QUARTER of the adult population of America is functionally illiterate. Meaning studies have shown that 22% or more of adults in the US cannot read more than a couple words strung together or have to piece together sentences contextually. They can work, they can answer text messages, but are incapable of assembling paragraphs and forming complex abstractions.
We’re fucked on a level that is hard to convey.
deep breaths
Oh I’m sorry… What I meant was:
deep breathes
And with only one week for people to prepare. Smooth.
This is what dump wants. He’s already mobilised his incels and provided ample firepower.
that line about revolution only applies when society is used to not being hungry. unfortunately, it’s already common for Americans to skip meals to save some cash. I’m not holding my breath (but would loved to be surprised ofc).
Republicans don’t give a fuck if they kill people by withholding healthcare, obviously they don’t give a fuck if people starve.
At some point the Democrats have got to realize this and start acting accordingly, but Democrats are still bending the knee: 13 Senate Democrats just voted to install a conservative judge in Alabama.
Republicans don’t give a fuck if they kill people by withholding healthcare, obviously they don’t give a fuck if people starve.
Maybe that’s why they love Israel so much?
Just a reminder that no one steals food in America. If you thought you saw someone shoplifting food, no you didn’t! That never happened, you imagined it, turn around and walk away, nothing to report here.
Duh, the U.S. government stopped SNAP payments and Trump will soon say nobody is poor or hungry here. Thus shoplifting is impossible, if you see it or ghosts, you’re literally hallucinating.
Not American, but I totally didn’t see someone shoplifting a couple of weeks ago and I just carried on with my business, but on the way out I heard another customer grassing them out. What is the world coming to?
You know what you hardly ever see - billionaires telling on each other for their crimes for no reason. Solidarity, people!
it’s AI
Everyone on a jury should argue this. “I can’t trust the bodycam footage. Could be Sora. I have reasonable doubt.”
But it’s OK: Kristi Noem gets two $170,000,000 private jets, Trump gets a golden ballroom, a luxury airliner and billions of dollars in bribes, Argentina gets $40,000,000,000, and ICE get all the weaponry they desire plus big fat bonuses for hitting their kidnapping targets. So as you sit hungry through the holiday season, know that your tax dollars are at least giving someone a good time.
Let’s instead phrase it that ICE gets more budget for militarization than the entire Israeli military.
Just let that sink in for a bit. ICE and resources allocated than the Israeli military.
It’s the 16th most funded militarized force in the world.
Essentially equal to Canada’s military budget.
Shits fucked
Don’t forget the $250 million that he feels he is owed by the DOJ for being prosecuted, which he intends to instruct the DOJ to settle and pay.
Did somebody say Bell riots? I thought I heard Bell riots.
Star Trek future here we come, huzzah!
Don’t forget we have to do the Eugenics Wars first as well…
I’m sure Mark Twain will rescue me from those
Don’t forget the post-atomic horrors that follow.
But maybe I can live just long enough to meet porthos
As well as World War III killing a double digit percentage of the world population.
Yay the end is near!
That was after they created the Sanctuary Districts in major cities, like San Francisco. We’re still a bit away from that. They’re leaving the homeless to roam.
That was last year. Check your calendar.
The eugenics wars happened in the 90’s. Something shifted the timeline around.
Temporal Cold War
So we’re in the Kelvin timeline? Ugh, well, okay, I guess.
No, that is not the same thing. The Kelvin Timeline exist due to Spock trying to prevent the destruction of Romulus from the nearby sun going supernova. The Temporal Cold War is different factions of the galaxy at war, messing with history.
The Temporal Cold War is from ENT.
That’s only if you accept that it is a time travel split and not another alternate universe where the first captain of the Enterprise was Archer instead of April.
Archer was not the captain of the NCC-1701. They commanded the NX-01, a completely different ship.
