It doesn’t matter. They’re getting what they want. You can play nice and let them have what they want, or you can take some risks, stand for what you believe in, and fight back.
Fighting back against school bullies is also “against the rules.”
Gyatdam, I’m making magnets of this and posting them everywhere.
Everyone gets lost talking about this thing. Purchasing and driving a poorly-engineered or aesthetically-questionable vehicle isn’t the primary problem. That’s not unique. There have always been shitty vehicles.
People who drive these gave $80,000 to empower the Nazis. The fact that they’re shitboxes just underscores that conspicuous consumption and the support and affiliation for and with Fascism are the entire point.
There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to a descent into fascism.
There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to massive wealth inequality.
Thank you.
Because being a passive centrist while the world slides towards authoritarianism, global conflict, and environmental holocaust is not morally acceptable.
You don’t have to be a Tankie to want to fight these fascist fucks and their suicidal agenda.
There was a study years ago about American TV ownership. Size of television inversely correlates with income.
I visited Switzerland just after the vaccines dropped. The Swiss COVID response far surpassed the response in the United States. They rolled out a nation-wide app for vaccination attestation, and any museum, restaurant, etc. could scan a QR code on someone’s phone with a phone. But do they have a scary, socially reactionary subset of their population? Yes.
In some harmful ways they are fanatically culturally conservative. But they also care about community, sustainability, health, the well-being of children, environmental preservation, organization, and self-reliance. Being a small, rich, homogeneous, topographically-isolated country drives these characteristics.
Surveillance State developments are depressing but not surprising.
No just any shit, shit that helps everyday people living in their country.
I’m just thinking of the major cities in my U.S. state where the public transit map, before and after, looks like Chengdu in 2010. So as unfortunate as the circumstances are in Toronto, they can be even worse.
“NERVOUSNESS”
Licking Lead is only “not a great idea?” I think it’s squarely in the “Please don’t do that” territory.
#1 and #9 are the same dude: Saint Thomas Beckett, getting his brains stirred.
A lot of people in here seem to support genocide.
If supporting genocide is your “lesser evil,” you need to reevaluate your moral compass.
I read somewhere that if you’re angry when you’re driving, you’re actually angry about something not driving-related. It’s just manifesting while you’re behind the wheel.
People are going to have to do more than “punch Nazis” before long. If you’re clutching pearls over some high school punches, you need to wake up.
