I mean, yeah.

One of the hallmarks of our species is its insatiable, irrational greed.

Every single protest should have an armed contingent in America. That is the only way cops will take you seriously, but make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's, because your permits better be current.

Historically assassination doesn't really work out well, and I'd imagine that's doubly so here, where the president's really just a sock puppet for the billionaire class.

We do this because being in that specific physical space helps us do the thing.

Also it's hot out.

I'd also add that people who don't work out probably shouldn't make memes about it.

Very, very glad to see this starting to become addressed in law.

Also a little surprised Europe didn't do it first. We're usually way behind on these things in the US.

You've got Batman mixed up with the Punisher, OP.

Also a fair point.

Fair point

It's astonishing.

The capitalists know full well we're more productive working remotely, but their need for control has proven to be stronger than their insatiable greed anyway.

I wish our schools did a better job teaching about resistance movements. Here in the US most people don't know about the Battle of Blair Mountain, for example, even though it was the largest armed resistance action here since the US Civil War.

But if you know what the BoBM is, you know why it isn't taught, for the same reason churches don't teach what the Bible says about usury.

It's been interesting this last week watching liberal people complain about age verification laws that don't even exist yet, as if it isn't an eminently good thing to keep social media out of the hands of kids.

Motherfuckers all.

But do yourself a favor and read up on the Polish Resistance. Those were some seriously metal sons of bitches.

And for those of you who don't like reading history: Imagine watching 50-100 of your friends getting summarily executed every day, and it doesn't make you afraid to stop killing Nazis. It makes you even more emboldened, and that's exactly what you do. You exist to make them afraid to walk the streets.

I mean, 99% of voters pick capitalists every single time, and then clutch their pearls when capitalist things happen.

On the plus side, it's still possible to do good things on the local level. (For now.)

And they can't afford to miss a day of work to vote, thanks to that other 60%.

Well, I'm not advising that you do this, but I've read that there are tools on the Internet for converting Youtube links into MP3 files, and even better, I've read that the quality is a jump up from what Spotify streams to your device.

Interesting reading.

Agreed.

I spent the last month converting all of my Spotify likes to MP3 files and ended my subscription in Mid-June.

Their greedy, shrinkflating, enshittifying asshole CEO can go fuck himself.

Private prison stocks are a solid investment in the US specifically.

Hell, our judges sell people to the prison system.

Yeah, but those people don't have the power to destroy the entire world when their brain short-circuits.

It's unavoidable.

Remember in 2016 when we learned 40,000,000 Americans couldn't absorb an unexpected $400 expense without going further into debt? That number has almost certainly exploded since then, with the housing crises and massive inflation that America has been forced to endure. I doubt those people are going to forego a badly needed day's pay to vote for one of these two assholes when the last eight years has reinforced emphatically how little they care about the poor and working class.

No they don't.

They have an interest in keeping themselves rich, consequences be damned.
