Possible strategy to make apartments affordable again...
  • Yeah, it's "poggers" as the kids say these days. I wouldn't mind seeing this thing everyday outside my house. Looks fun and friendly. We need more art to cover up all the gray and stale "gentrification".

    Take back what is stolen. The people running the show weren't going to give us affordable homes or even allow us a say in our communities. It's time to stop pretending the assholes sucking us dry deserve any respect and take back our neighborhoods.

    It's amazing how a little drawing or writing on the wall brings so much ire to the privileged.

  • Anon gets banned from Walmart
  • Probably a majority of the details.

  • Anon gets banned from Walmart
  • Anon went from 0-100. Dudes really need to learn how to slow their roll.

  • The opposite of shopaholic: shopcell
  • Thats because back then you got a paid lunch and in the 1990s companies stopped offering that and said it was a boon to workers because "you can leave the property for lunch" and other excuses like "liability" and such.

    Now workers have to stay an extra hour and dont get paid for that time.

  • The opposite of shopaholic: shopcell
  • If I see a sign in a business whining about workers or people not wanting to work, I will straight up leave and go somewhere else. Tells me everything I need to know about how the owner treats their workers.

  • ‘It affects everything’: why is Hollywood so scared to tackle the climate crisis?
  • It's newspeak for "I don't want messages that I disgree with in my media."

    Just like when conservatives complain about something being "political" they mean "progressive" and by progressive I mean "they saw a minority."

    It's a way of saying something without saying it.

  • Biden campaign on Trump verdict: 'No one is above the law'
  • Al Capone didn't go to prison for operating a racket or any of the numerous murders he committed or was involved with. He went to prison for tax evasion. This might be the closest we get to him ever being held accountable and I'll take it. Hopefully the court understands this and gives him the maximum sentence knowing the context of his actions.

    It's a bit disappointing, but that's just how things work.

    Also, given that Trump has been comparing himself to Al Capone recently in his speeches, this is quite hilarious outcome.

  • This sounds like a recipe for the mass shooting we all want to see.

  • "Socialism is when LGBT folk are given human rights"
  • Worse actually. They like the Romantic-era aethetic of Vikings used for nationalist propaganda, not the actual ancient Norse peoples. Their characterizations of the Norse peoples are little more than ahistorical racist stereotypes.

  • Police Say the Lakewood Church Shooter Was Cis. The Right Keeps Saying She Was Trans
  • If it isn't pedophilia it's something else: beating their wives, their children, other forms of abuse such as neglect. The GOP literally has attempted numerous times to revoke age of consent laws, laws against child marriage, and child labor laws.

    Conservative parents are outspoken about their "right" to abuse their kids through depriving them of necessity or beating them.

    The GOP is a party of domestic abusers.

  • America is now the most unequal society in the developed world. Our billionaires are the richest, and our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth
  • Except when it doesn't happen:

    • Bush II did not win the election, he was appointed before the recounts were even tallied.

    • Trump was appointed to the presidency after losing the election in 2016 to Hillary Clinton by the Electoral College. Hilary won by 3M votes or 2% of the vote.

    Literally two presidents during my lifetime failed to win the popular vote and every time this occurred it was to the benefit of a largely unpopular political party who used technicalities built into the Constitution to overturn the democratic will of the people. Funny how it never has worked in the opposite direction, almost as if it was built-in with that idea in mind.

    We do not have a democracy, we have a sham system that puts the interests of business before the interests of people.

  • That's the entire Right. You cannot win them on the grounds of good-faith, truthfulness, or humanity because their politics is solely about power. Conservative politics are the politics of abusers—litterally everything they wish to "conserve" within society includimg "tradition" is their freedom and ability to abuse. That's it:

    Family values is not about creating healthy families, it is about patriarchy and the right of the parents to abuse their children.

    Defending the sanctity of marriage is about defining LGBTQ people out of legal rights and entitlements.

    School choice is about controlling what ideas not just their children are exposed to but their neighbors as well.

    Etc. Etc.

    Every conservative position is a bad faith push to further their ability to control the lives others and their ideas deserve neither respect nor a platform.

  • Most conservatives are pedophiles or other abusers. Abuse is what they are conserving.

  • Gen Z is recording themselves getting fired in growing TikTok trend
  • The US is continuing to engage in genocide by acting as the world's largest weapons supplier to supremacist nation-states (technically all nation-states as supremacist by definition) such as Israel. The US continues to impoverish it's own people on top of that and murders tens of thousands of people every year through refusing to implement healthcare alone. All total, hundreds of thousands of people die every year due to poverty in the US, mostly minorities.

    This is the same government that also knowingly puts poisons such as lead in our water, see any of the numerous small towns in Appalachia where water is undrinkable; Flint, MI; or Jackson, MS—the latter being a capital of a state.

    Yes, the US is a dictatorship. Our elections are a farce. Any attempt at making things better through the electoral system is impossible because it was literally designed from the ground up to be a compromised system where the national oligarchy has the final say. It would take a revolution and the abolition of the US state to fix any of those long-standing problems which are built-in to the system.

    As for the ethnic cleansing of minorities—Indian Reservations still exist and when measured are some of the poorest nations, states, and municipalities on the planet. They are literally designed to keep people down by keeping them poor and unhealthy. I've been to a lot of places, and few places are people more miserable. The neglect from the US government to fix these communities combined with the still continuing violation of treaties at the behest of US-based corporations are an ongoing genocide on a similar scale (if not distributed) as was is seen in China.

    Let's not pretend the US has any moral authority on the matter here.

  • Gen Z is recording themselves getting fired in growing TikTok trend
  • "Hostile militaristic dictatorship" is just the United States. There's almost zero difference between the US and China in those regards. The only real difference is that Chinese citizens are actually being lifted out of poverty at a rate not seen at any point in history while the US is continuing to impoverish their citizens. Both of them spy on their citizens and have insanely racist cultures.

    There's no moral difference between using TikTok and Facebook.

  • The Torah is part of the Bible. The semantic is not necessary. Also even Jews use term Bible or Jewish Bible when speaking about it too sometimes, including well-respected Jewish theologians.

    Most people know the Bible--or rather the Old Testament--is the Tanakh, usually with a reordering of scrolls.

  • Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates
  • There are people in literally advocating for it and their sycophants support it purely out of the sadistic urge to kill everyone they believe is unworthy of life. See Nick Fuentes, or even to a lesser extent people like Alex Jones who call their detractors traitors. They make it a point to call their opposition demonic and accuse them of witchcraft and blood libel.

  • Freedom of religion. Just -- you know -- not your religion.
  • It's called being part of the bourgeoisie or their sycophantic enforcers.
