He is insolent
He is insolent
We can do both
Israel, Israel is the bad guy… Any country/person/company supporting Israel is the bad guy.
Crest 3D strips work well, but do not fall asleep with them in… I did that by accident, swallowed one of the strips and woke up in such excruciating pain I had to crawl to the bathroom and puke. Just as heads up
Fix the fucking election system… No more gerrymandering, money out, make voting day a holiday, make mail in easy, zero bullshit restrictions making voting harder, ranked choice, no electoral college, get a handle on primaries too
Okay but that’s kinda how democracy is supposed to work… Blue states should also have organizations going into Red states to spread factual information… I’d probably start by letting them know how much money they are being forced to give to these other orgs, and how to stop it
Imagine it’s 7500bce… Most humans are still hunter gatherers but in a few places people have started banding together to form cities. The world is savage, hard, and dangerous. Life is short and cheap, and just like chimpanzees today don’t feel any moral qualms about murdering rival troop members, humans hadn’t really evolved socially to the point of thinking of all humans as inherently “special” or worthy of life… Some could say we still haven’t all evolved to this point.
In that context what we were left with was a bunch of sociopaths. And no wonder. Most people would be somewhat sociopathic if their siblings died in infancy or were carried off to be slaves or eaten by wolves, their parents were murdered in front of them, their village was slaughtered and burned, etc. So these city people, and soon the surrounding people’s, saw sociopathic behavior as normal and even something to be worshipped. (Again, some of us still do)
Sociopaths don’t hesitate to harm other people to increase their own power and wealth, even when they don’t really need anything more to live comfortably. In a world where might makes right, this was a huge advantage and the most horrible and brutal sociopaths rose to become kings of their city states.
There is some evidence that hunter gatherers groups would occasionally get a sociopath among them, but more often than not that person would be shunned and banished from the family. It was only when cities became a thing that there were tons of people from many families, so even if you’re family kicked you out, you could just find other sociopaths who had been kicked out, and together you could just kill anyone who denied you.
There’s also the fact that as soon as people started settling down and using agriculture to create excess food, the hunter gatherers around them started trying to take that food because hey, free food. So then you need to start defending your food stores, and again sociopaths rise to the top because they are the most ruthless “defenders”.
Those sociopathic traits continued in the ruling class throughout all of human pre history and history. Right down to today where people continue to worship the sociopaths like Musk, Trump, or even Hillary. It’s a childish thought process of “my dad can beat up your dad”, which makes me feel safer, even if sometimes my dad also beats me.
Edit: just to add that the only reason we can even have this conversation is because, for the first time in human history, large swaths of the human population HAVE socially evolved to the point of recognizing innate human value, and thus can also recognize sociopathic behavior
What if we glorify horrible contemporary people because we’re taught to glorify sociopathic behavior through how we’re taught about historical horrible people?
The global oligarchy wants power and ownership of everything… They just use the US to do their dirty work… They used to pay us pretty well to turn a blind eye, but they stopped doing that
Yes, and remember, there’s like 100 people/families who are THE major shareholders for all the big corporations… But they make it impossible to figure out who exactly they are because they hide behind blackrock and vanguard… If we’re going to name and shame anyone, it should be the owners.
Pretty sure most of them gave up on freedom of the press a long time ago… Now they’re just pr for the oligarchy
The press needs to stop going to these things and stop reporting every little thing Trump does… Just treat him like they do Bernie, pretend he doesn’t exist
The oligarchy profits off the drug trade. They also profit off the wars. If it’s happening, it’s being ALLOWED to happen, by the oligarchy, because it benefits them.
Ah yes… My favorite gospel
Jesus made sure EVERYONE knew
He’s gotta go
Don’t get married before you’re 25
Around 30 years old your body stops healing, injuries are just things you live with forever now, and old injuries you thought had healed come back as forever pain… just keep that in mind when doing stupid shit… This includes injuries to your lungs and mind from things like smoking and drugs.
If you want to help people in any way, get rich first. No one will pay you enough to live off of for helping people… Better to bring your own wealth to the table and hopefully be able to help people for real with it.
If you don’t already know how, learn to code asap… In 20 years, programming will be one of the few jobs left… Maybe
No no no… Gaza can take out a loan with insane terms from the IMF just like every other slave country. /s
I hope some group starts tracking every bill against p2025, so that any time they try to squeeze anything in it into a bill everyone knows and we can make it impossible to pass. We also need to know if any Dems ever allow any of it to pass… Basically it should become the anti-Bible for the left… If it’s in there, it’s never going to be allowed to happen
The type of people who seek power probably won’t change generation to generation… But the voters are changing rapidly as boomers die and millennials/zoomers replace them (far more progressive overall)… The voters will force the change, not the small percent that seek their own glory (ie the list you have there)
“A monopoly is a market structure with a single seller or producer that assumes a dominant position in an industry or a sector. Monopolies are discouraged in free-market economies because they stifle competition, limit consumer substitutes, and thus, limit consumer choice.” ~investopedia
Nothing about needing to jack prices up. I’d say Amazon fits the description perfectly
