flandish

i do care. thanks! always overthinking it. :)

i have given up. I mean, I had when I was a developing young adult and while I am in my mid 40’s now, it’s only embiggened my concerns. it’s taboo here on .world but I truly think the problem is the current era’s phase of capitalism’s expansion especially with the adaptation to technology in the last 50 years.

there was, truly, no time when this country was great; and I’d posit there is no time when any country is as they exist to extract and exploit.

there is no where to go.

so what I do and have done for 20 some odd years now is try to affect (effect??) change in my community. my “city” is like 14k people. I am a firefighter, first responder, and help where I can elsewhere when I see it. i vote. make my concerns known at town hall, especially against how much our PD is expanding due to “safety” horseshit. I help others vote, I mean to say help them realize they can, where to go, etc. I joke but am kind of serious too when I tell our selectmen that the reason I like supporting my small town is because we know where they live. They get the point with a chuckle and then ask for my votes.

I have a lemmygrad acct, possibly. but I just browse via this one mostly anyway.

they are different but in the context here - a lot of folks will be a lot of screwed because a lot of assholes will “pretend” they “need” to raise prices because of “trump.” He’s a symptom not a cause.

exactly

trump is a capitalist. china is capitalist. what are you talking about?

i think your points are, indeed, completely on point. no pun intended. I think, on a long enough time scale, prices on consumer products will follow the same ever adapting and almost instantly changing formulas fuel prices have.

one can have money and be fine. one cannot pretend there is an invisible market controlling your choices as a business owner; it’s gaslighting and sociopathic.

watch closely. prices will still rise. blame will still be placed on the war. note who does this. the problem, of course, is capitalism

it’ll. never. happen.

why? because profit is why the corps exist.

that just means he needs to keep the physical piece of paper safe under glass, right? /s

*accused immigrants. *innocent immigrants.

remember: they are innocent until due process happens.

fun fact: the white house is ignoring said process because they are fascist.

access to lawyers

I don’t believe it would work out that way if you are detained and don’t already have numbers lined up. They are already skipping due process anyway…

I don’t want violence. I just want to remind people that these are illegal government kidnappings.

It. Fucking. Sucks. Indeed.

I make it my secondary goals when hanging around the station (am firefighter) to chime in and knock down any pro trump (heck pro state) rhetoric pretty quickly. It’s worked on a few so far.

Anarchist gun owner here. Yep. Granted mine are mostly WW1 era pieces of history and others are nerdy but yeah… there are lefties out there who are properly legally licensed.

Please remember: the ICE “arrests” are KIDNAPPINGS BY NON-UNIFORMED CIVILIANS. UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.

If you see a gang of 4 dudes with beards and guns and jeans and polo shirts … treat it like the kidnapping it is.

Fascists gonna fascist.
