That’s just the imperialists telling on themselves. They don’t consider what is Taiwan’s as Taiwan’s, but as being made exclusively for the US’ benefit.

Those who do not have fat baby JD Vance memes in their gallery will be denied admission.

If they don’t put a ceiling on it too that floor is going to fall out from under them eventually like it did in the US.

Humans are part of nature too, and we have our animal instincts same as any other animal. Only thing that differs is our capacity to self-reflect and exercise agency over our place in the ecosystem. What matters is that we have respect for life and don’t take it for granted. I agree that factory farms, hunting for sport or luxury goods like furs, etc. is wrong, but I don’t see a problem with a small farm raising some animals as long as they’re treated with respect and given a comfortable life. All animals - including us - are dependent on others for survival.

Pasolini, an atheist and communist, came close in the approach with ‘The Gospel According to St. Matthew’, but the result is a rather romantic vision of the life of Jesus, perhaps dictated by both the chosen source material and Pasolini’s ‘nostalgia for belief’.

As a former Christian and current socialist, it makes sense for socialists/communists to have a romantic view of the life of Jesus. It’s the one part of my old beliefs that I can’t let go of, since it shaped the values that I have now. The values that Jesus preached are often the same values that lead people to socialism/communism.

Anyone eating that much THC has been working their way up to that for a long time.

Uncharacteristically self-aware of you to post this in the shitpost community.

The Trump administration literally sold merch at the front gate of one such camp in Florida. Old prisons are being reopened and new ones are being built to hold all the new ICE detainees, and they throw them all together in a cell with deportation papers in the middle of the room hoping they’ll give up and sign to be willingly deported. ICE now has massive deportation quotas that they’re being pushed to meet.

The above doesn’t even scrape the iceberg of everything that’s been happening. Your confident ignorance betrays your stupidity.

The placebo rage bait effect works even on those who are aware that it’s placebo rage bait.

Crazed gamer now wears thigh-highs because the BPA and BPS coating on the receipt paper mimics estrogen in the body and is absorbed through the skin.

I use Actual and it’s very barebones, no BS, does one thing and does it well. Great if that’s what you’re looking for.

I swear I saw the original version of this meme with the anarchy symbol instead of the hammer and sickle, though I can’t find it anymore. MLs don’t do anarchist erasure challenge: impossible.

Losing mine at 26. Yay!

Gen Z is more reactionary than millennials, and that’s because we’re more fucked. Fascism provides an outlet and gives direction and purpose to the general discontent and resentment harbored by young people today, same as it ever was. Gen Z appears more right wing because more Gen Z can see the status quo isn’t working for them, and in the absence / suppression of the populist left people turn to the populist right.

The last image is likely referring to this. Contracting prisoners out to private companies is a common practice all across the US, but particularly in Alabama and other former chattel slave economies. Southern slave plantations continued operating during reconstruction by using prison labor. The reason we have the largest per capita prison population in the world is because slavery never truly ended, it just adapted.

I don’t think Zohran is as committed to the democratic party as you think. He is a member of the DSA and ran as part of their party surrogate strategy. I think he’s playing nice with the NYPD for the same reason that Mexican politicians have to play nice with the cartels. He knows NYC political history and has seen what happens when you face them head-on.

Here’s a list of progressive policies that the Democratic leadership have made taboo and their approval ratings:

Medicare for All shows majority support in nearly every poll.

55% support raising the federal minimum wage.

An overwhelming majority support ending citizens united.

59% support the green new deal.

79% support raising taxes on the rich.

These numbers vary by single digit percentage points from poll to poll, not enough to change the conclusion - that progressive policy is overwhelmingly popular - which is why it’s so frustrating that you’re defending Democrats shying away from those policies to appeal to a mythical “moderate.” Zohran Mamdani’s campaign shows you don’t have to back down on trans rights to run an economics focused campaign, and it’s the progressive economic policies that are the most popular. When people hear Democrats hem and haw about “economic stability” they hear “we’re not going to change anything about the system that’s fucking you with a rusty tire iron.”

If you want to capture middle America’s vote then run progressive candidates with an economic populist platform. That’s not out of touch, it’s a proven strategy. The DNC leadership is more interested in keeping the support of their wealthy donors than in recapturing middle America’s vote. They would rather lose elections than lose their donors.

Please stop doing the DNC’s work for them by amplifying Gavin Newsom. We need real change in this country, not a return to the status quo.

I would like to know some specifics. For one, where is this charter you mentioned? Another, is there some kind of technology that you’re attempting to pitch to activist groups or are you just describing organizational strategies using computer science jargon? If there is actually something tangible that you’re presenting here then your communication skills need some serious work.
