Ot says they prioritizing law enforcement and military backgrounds, but not being greatly rigorous… Which is better than I expected (I thought they’d be going straight to far right hate groups for direct recruiting).

That’s Neoliberalism. It follows in it’s Austrian School and Chicago School economic traditions, which claim that deregulated markets are compatible with leftwing social and cultural values, when they’re not.

This is the Neoliberal economy working as intended. Of course it’s going to created an ever expanding wealth gap. Neoliberalism is stupid, and not even remotely leftwing.

It’s centrists and rightwing economics “leftwashed”. You’re all being played, tricked into being rightwing without having to admit it. Try that link if you don’t believe me.

He holds a grudge because as civil rights were popularised his father was outted as a slum lord who would single out poor black families for worse treatment by putting a ‘c’ next to their names on their applications and tenancy agreements to indicate they were “colored people” and worthy of less consideration.

Racism and injustice is the Trump family’s legacy project.

I find it crazier that Trump’s first year in office isn’t over yet. Inauguration was 20th Jan 2025.

Imagine what a democratic socialist of this level could achieve. A country could be completely rejuvenated using the same methods in the other direction.

… except I guess the billionaires wouldn’t be so cooperative.

Israel is pretty damned politically. The more people of conscience leave the more concentrated the rightwing will be there, and it’s already 60%-70% right leaning.

It’s partially an ethno-nationalist state, partially a theocracy, partially a racial apartheid state, partially an extension of the American Military Industrial complex.

You’re buying into a lot when you more to Israel. It’s like living on the cop’s gun, then being surprised when it goes off.

That’s the thing about a land, you become someone of that land, of the character and people. You have to in order to survive.

Nah, scat porn. Just billionaires eating shit.

I’m usually against punching people in the face from behind then running away…

Save you awkwardness? People would treat you like shit, and there’d be a permanent weird vibe around you. How is that going to save you ANY awkwardness?

Sounds like you want me to just comply with your parameters.

The Tianamen Square protest was for free speech, democracy, and to prevent China opening up to global capitalism… Which students and union leaders believed would lead to stark inequalities and wealth/class gaps.

Here’s a photo of factory worker Unionist bikers on their way to the protest.

There’s plenty of situations that aren’t polar win vs lose.

…do I go to the shops today, in bad weather, or tomorrow in good? This dumbass comic puts you in bad weather.

Do I try sending her a dick pic?

Do i push through the crippling social anxiety?

I’m hungry, do I try human flesh for the first time?

Finally some real action against Trump, something’s bound to happen now.

Oh, they’re putting shit at the top?

Why does anyone even mention these marginal groups that are extremely meaningless?

The US want Greenland either to detect missiles, or for its critical battery minerals.

The Iranian people have already rebelling over time. Intervention may set that process back.

What space are you talking about?

What kind of idiot trusts Russia with their gold? They ain’t getting that back without a war.

Vogue? Maybe treating war as a matter of fashion is not what the pope is supposed to be doing?

Bring back the other guy Pope Francis. He was getting the tone right.
