oh damn yeah there it is. woah lol. that is about what i was suspecting. massive!
can't help but wonder the length of that cloud. it must be rather impressive.
yes, i was. my city had a pretty decent demonstration. however, most of the people attending were easily identifiable as liberals. they are not my people although allies are necessary. the closest SRA chapter is 3 hours away.
you are right, of course, and normally i do try to be more encouraging and positive, especially to people who are unfamiliar with life beyond capitalism. but i am exhausted. i see the average American has no interest in personal sacrifice for the greater good, and more significantly, they have no support to even retaliate if they wanted to. they are beaten down with debt and the necessity to work to live. i am desperate to do more but the little i am already doing in my community is nowhere near what i should be doing on a larger scale. how do i find people who are doing something? because they aren't the peaceful groups i know in my area of the country.
this is pure insanity lol holy shit. why is this being allowed to continue? i am beyond myself.
no, i don't. i am ready to do many things i am unable to admit to. that doesn't make it a possibility without a network of support and plans beyond my single self. this is going to take a large amount of people willing to coordinate and risk losing their freedoms and potential lives to help save the rest of us.
nobody is going to do shit. we are a nation of pacified slave laborers who aren't starving or dying in large numbers, so the masses can't be bothered to care when they are being saddled with debt. it is maddening we haven't collectively experienced the line being crossed yet. what the fuck is it going to take, people? you are letting them take away your resolve. you are letting fascists win. right now! you wonder how Germany got to where it got? well, here it is, your own version. now you know. it's because nobody stopped it when they fucking should have. now what about us are we going to end up like them too?
i was recently prescribed a life changing medication that has given me the opportunity to have my lifespan return to normal as it is currently reduced, and i am noticing true positive improvement for the first time living with this illness, and i feel like i can start regaining my identity, and my physical and mental wellbeing, and now the president of my country is going to make this already expensive drug even more costly? what am i supposed to do, just stop taking it? what is anyone with a worse condition than me supposed to do for their illness? what about people with severe mental disorders that might be invisible to the public but struggle deeply all the same? this will lead to unnecessary deaths. every time the medical supply is messed with, people die. this needs to be met with more than outrage. Trump is signing a death warrant on ill Americans. who are you willing to sacrifice so you don't have to get involved? because, again, people are going to die.
may she rest in power. our society failed her. we should be ashamed of ourselves for breaking her resolve. it seems she went out with purpose and tried to highlight the suffering of trans people in America. i thank her for thinking of us in her final moments, but she deserved genuine help more than anything.
nobody can tell you yes or no as it is entirely dependent on variables only you have the most knowledge of. are you aware of the risks and rewards? have you weighed them appropriately? i guess we can help you there but ultimately it won't be age that determines whether or not you should pursue higher education. do it if you want to, but do it for you.. not to get a job, or a career, or anything else.
thanks for letting me know. i just read about it now. damn, that is alarming. at least it did not spread or come into existence.. that is not good.
i always check to see if human-to-human transmission has occurred yet or not.. worried of the day when it will. i hope it doesn't happen. we are not going to survive anything deadlier than COVID. we are still in the midst of the pandemic and people act as though shit went back to normal. i hear "back during covid" all the time in conversations and have to dissociate so i don't correct them with an emotional outburst. there's simply no way we make it through a virus with double-digit mortality rates without long-term societal and financial damage.
it is unbelievable to me that women are now more unsafe than they ever have been because of anti-trans hysteria. these people want to "protect women" but have only made a non-existent problem real. way to fucking go.
last time it was like this was in the 30s. typical of Americans to forget their history after 100 years of it. they have created an uneducated half to complicate those who've learned.
ah sure, fair point. i kind of glossed over that lol. yeah.. i wouldn't necessarily agree with that assessment if its meant to be a genuine statement (maybe it's an exaggeration born out of frustration?) but i can empathize with how the commenter arrived to that conclusion. i can follow the logic as an atheist myself who happens to be somewhat of an antitheist. however, i think it's ignorant of anyone to say religion cannot be a source of good for a community or individual. religion is complicated, it isn't a homogenous group of thinkers. you cannot have all concepts of it share one universal tenant, i.e. fascism, because there are hundreds of thousands of religions and many do not know about each other or the cultures around them. how could they all be fascist?
What are you talking about? This is a comment in relation to an event that doesn't have Christianity tied to it as a primary religion, and throughout world history it has been well established that religion in general will be used by those in power to accomplish their goals. sometimes those people are willing to kill in the name of said goals or beliefs.
i am permanently banned. i have gotten around it several times but this one seems inescapable lol. tbh i wouldn't make a new account if i could.
stolen because there's no way a billionaire could lose to the poor?
this is a choice everyone should be allowed to make. although i understand the concerns of the disabled woman in the video (for example, Canada's MAID has some alarming issues) she is wrong to imply access to assisted suicide means disabled people are not worth as much as abled people. unfortunately, capitalists would rather kill sick people than spend money to save them, so abuse will occur as long as profit is part of our culture, but dying on your own terms as opposed to the whims of an illness is giving you your control back. there is no humanity in suffering. we don't even let terminal patients suffer, we pump them full of drugs. everyone should have the right to avoid a prolonged, painful death.
this is rather positive. my boyfriend is worried because dementia affected both his grandparents. i'm glad to read each successive generation had lower rates.
