Someone’s had Chicago style deep dish for the first time I see.

Except the red states are going to do what he says and the blue states are going to be invaded by national Guardsmen from the red States.

How much did you lose?

Georgia sure is having a lot of calls and no calls go their way…

Good Lord that is so much worse than I thought it was going to be. The whole company should be held criminally liable for this. CEOs and programmers should be going to jail.

That’s like wearing sunscreen and then sitting under a UV lamp all day. It’s better obviously, but still not a great idea.

Some of the postings in this Community are starting to get absurd. I’m going to make one that says I love murder and I hate babies next.

I don’t know Vance probably doesn’t believe in divorce so I’m thinking he’ll just have her killed like he did Kirk. Allegedly.

The comic doesn’t say the event doesn’t have meaning its saying the start and finish ppint doesn’t have meaning. Which is exactly what you’re saying.

Well that’s just absurd. Liberals have always cared about economic policy. That’s what liberals have been from their beginning. The liberal Revolution was the capitalist Revolution and vice versa. They’re inherently linked. What you are spouting here is a myth that liberals tell themselves and others to try to justify them continuing the capitalist system even though it goes against everything else they claim to believe, and which they will always favor over those supposedly beliefs.

2017 I think.

Not that it was ever that stringent or widely enforced to begin with.

Apparently it had some weird weapons, which we’ve never seen in other Grand Theft Auto surely…

No

Kind of looks like firing your defensive coordinating staff before your bowl game is a bad idea huh Texas?

Am I nuts or is that not hard at all? I’ve been saying it fast for the past 2 minutes and it’s just not hard.

They are just a shocking number of pedophile apologists on Lemmy. When they come out they come out strong. Unfortunately that comment is not a surprise to me in the least.

Yeah I imagine Vance’s wife might have an unfortunate accident any day now.

Well that is certainly part of it. But I think that’s just a piece of the whole. Protest, and more importantly long-term consistent protest, is the most effective means of change. Not for the protest in and of themselves but for the effect they have on society around them. They can as you mentioned Inspire more militant action, which sometimes is helpful in spreading the goals of the protest, but not always. More than that they can change National consciousness. Which is something we forget. Something in our current instant gratification age we don’t seem to remember.

Most change is done at extremely slow pace. Years and even decades. I’m reminded of English abolition, the destruction of the English slave trade which destroyed chattel slavery in most of the western world. That took decades. Decades of consistent action. Of small victories. Of constant pressure. Slowly changing the awareness and minds of the entire Empire.

I’m reminded of civil rights in America, which most of us don’t seem to remember very well. Cuz they think it started with Martin Luther King, as if he was source of it. When in reality he was chosen to be the face of civil rights movement by people who had been working for years and years. And without those people we don’t have Martin Luther King and we don’t have Malcolm X either. We don’t get to that point until National Consciousness begins to change. Until awareness, yes awareness, changes.

Which is the real reason why governments want to choke them out. One protest doesn’t upset a government. Continued protest upsets the government. Entrenched power would love it if you have one protest and then lose heart immediately. The second protest seems likely to continue is when they start cracking down heavily.

Neither do I what? You see what I mean, that doesn’t make any sense?

A government made of Representatives you elect oppress something you elected? What? That doesn’t make any sense. Not the concept, whatever that may be, the sentence doesn’t make sense.
