I went and checked it out. Thats messed up the op slipped that in and people are up voting it like it’s fact. People are so damn gullible. My new evidence that people are too desperate and some are incapable of rational thought is that ‘twin flames cult’. The leader is claiming to be Jesus based soley on he and his wife have a relationship. That shit fucking worked. Two of the most uncharismatic people I’ve ever seen.
In April, Société Générale economist Albert Edwards released a scathing note saying he hadn’t seen anything like the current levels of corporate greed in his four decades working in finance. He said companies were using the war in Ukraine as an excuse to hike prices in search of profits....
This is all a bit optimistic. The collapse of society will have a measurable human toll and may seal the deal on the chance of a better future. Very optimistic to think the resulting power struggle will result in anyone other than a dictator taking power.

Meh, if it’s truly unlawful the DA will drop the charges. Until then you are subject to whatever bullshit the cop subjects you to with virtual impunity. Slap you with disorderly conduct, arrested. Or say they arrested you because you were resisting arrest.

At the polls. Trumps power is derived from the the people who empower him. Seeing him lose over and over is the only way they will learn no one cares for their zealotry.
I like to think Obama walked the worlds highest tight rope and never flinched. That was more progress than America had ever seen before. He also established that it is character not color that makes a leader. The current GOP rather burn it all down than accept these simple truths.
It’s not that absurd if you’re thinking of your family. Just… myself and other people have way different priorities. Some that might involve dipping my corpse in peanut butter and covering it in birdseed so that I might be the world’s first human pinecone bird feeder.
Edit: I just hope when I’m dead there is one person around to say, “He’s dead, he could in no way possible give one more single fuck…”
I would never want to be a part of a revolution. I would only ask the same things the founding fathers fought for. Representation. Anyway you slice it, my voice will never be heard because I am not a part of the wealthiest people in this country.
Was “fiscal conservatism” the origin of the Republican party?
From wiki:
The new Republican Party envisioned modernizing the United States, emphasizing expanded banking, more railroads and factories, and giving free western land to farmers (“free soil”) as opposed to letting slave owners buy up the best properties. It vigorously argued that free market labor was superior to slavery and was the very foundation of civic virtue and true republicanism; this was the “Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men” ideology.
Fiscal conservatism is just a GOP invented MacGuffin to give them cover when they employ their advisorial antigovernance strategy. Every time we put a conservative in charge they blow the deficit up and funnel money to their backers.
Then they cry fiscal conservatism when a DEM takes power and say we need to cut social programs. Fiscal conservatism is a lie people continue to believe in because they hate anyone getting a break that isn’t themselves. Themselves or wealthy white men who they project their own ambitions onto.
Hey we all get mixed up trying to figure out how to be the person we want to be. Especially if you don’t have a positive role model. Start teaching each other there is nothing more alpha than being a good person who is true to themsleves.
He’s coming right out and saying it. What more do people need? You’ll be safe if you’re a white, cishet, Christian man. Anyone else who helps this guy into office could be potentially signing their own death warrant and he’s coming right out and admitting it. Promoting it.
My favorite was immediately after the election the travel ban was in effect and they were interviewing someone lucky enough to make it into the country. He was like, “Yay! America.”
I know you’re not going to shit on the country that just took you in but damn it was sobering to see the juxtaposition.

You would still need to the wherewithal to identify that help is needed. Be it empathy from within or external, if no one cared it would never reach even the lukiest of warm persons desk.
I don’t think the issue in America is that we’ve tried the best we can but some have slipped through the cracks. More along the lines of we’ve tried nothing and we are all out of ideas.
