This doesn’t help. It’s victim blaming. The marching is the effort. People only have access to what they see and what they hear. If there are no marches, then what most people only see and hear is a curated narrative by the billionaires. The marches show others they aren’t alone. If you truly want a progressive uprising, stop being a dick, and encourage those who are trying to win back our country from fascists.
The steam is already being used to create the electricity… Leave that shit to engineers.
Classic torty. She makes you think she’s a grumpster…then she confirms she’s grumpy by swiping at your gentle caress and gurfing.
I will belittle anyone that put Donald Trump in office. And if you didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, you helped put Donald Trump in office. I and a lot of people on this platform knew exactly what we were in for with Donald Trump 2.0. But millions of people let perfect be the enemy of the good.
It’s a choice of survival. I’m never going to say the DNC is perfect. Frankly, I think the DNC is worse than the RNC. I’m a Bernie bro from 2016. But when you see a fuckin train coming down the tracks, step off the rails.
Come on. That lady didn’t believe exactly everything I believed. How could I vote for someone who is not only a female, but someone who didn’t believe exactly what I believed!?!?
Depends on what you don’t know and when you didn’t know it.
All crimes have requirements. Most crimes require that the person “know” or “intended” to engage in the criminal behavior. Sometimes the knowledge requirement is subjective, but mostly it’s objective…i.e. what would a reasonable person have known under the same circumstances. Which means that being drunk or otherwise impaired is rarely a defense to a crime requiring knowledge or awareness. Another exception when knowledge doesn’t matter is statutory rape of a minor in the US; you can legitimately think they are of age when you screw… But if they are a minor it’s rape regardless.
The knowledge requirement pertains to factual knowledge of the circumstance (i.e. you reasonably knew the property wasn’t yours when you took it). Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Everyone has implied knowledge of every law as soon as it’s codified. Fuckin’ bullshit, especially the younger and poorer you are.
From an evolutionary biological perspective, rape is seen as a mating strategy. Given the eventual extinction of Neanderthalensis, and the fact that physical attractiveness is also an important factor in modern mating practices of homo S, it makes more sense that the introduction of homo N. genes into homo S. population was less likely caused by sapiens being physically attracted to Neanderthals and more likel introduced through the sexual domination of sapien females by Neanderthal males. If that weren’t the case the physical differences between the two species would have been less pronounced. That’s my theory anyway.
I don’t think your viewpoint is supported by history. It is common for marginalized communities to take on the code words of those who oppress them and turn them into their own. The hate mongers use those words in an attempt to “other” their targets and separate them from society. If society embraces those words, especially the communities that are affected by them, the hatemongers lose power.
If you are waiting on everybody to reach the same conclusions as you, you will die waiting. We all want to live in a perfect world. But perfect is different for each of us. So instead of fighting a losing battle with no real winner, look to how the community affected wants you to act. When we help others we should help them in the ways that they want, not the ways we think they should want.
As someone who grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household, and have been around a lot of “Christians,” i think many of them become so fiercely religious because they think it will help them overcome “sinful” tendencies. For example, my father liked to drink and fight in his twenties. Around the time I was born he became fiercely religious. I’ve always assumed that was because he wanted to clean up his life to be a better dad. He stopped drinking but he found plenty of people to fight in his own house …
Your take is so weak. The “yanks” lost the election because of disinformation campaigns and low information voters. By placating fascist political action, all you are is delaying the inevitable decline of civilization. You’re a frog sitting in a warming pot complimenting the relaxing pond.
Well that’s chop suey!
Pobodies nerfect…
They also need some basic level empathy…a pretty high bar for some.
The conservatives on the supreme Court haven’t been consistent in decades. For then stare decises and judicial ethics are annoyances that should be ignored at all costs.
Justice for Bernie!
Pardons don’t protect against civil liability. Example: a pardoned person won’t go to prison for shooting someone in the leg. But the person who got shot can still sue for pain and suffering etc
He loves Trump… Whether that is “big” or not depends on you, i guess.
Given his target audience, that is the best type of ad.
The DNC is complicit and has been for years… But betraying Bernie was the inciting incident for the US’s most recent foray into authoritarianism.
You are describing me. It stops my own thoughts from being too bleak.
