You forgot one thing though: China bad

check mate 😏

Or the American prison system being the modern extension of slavery.

But go ahead, elect a cop.

Oh shit, I thought you meant Roger Waters. You’re absolutely correct about Gilmore.

You think so? I think one of the biggest foreign policy issues right now is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and he is, to put it lightly, extremely unconventional on the issue. I remember thinking he was a tool back when I was still somewhat liberal. lol

Charged with manslaughter? These fuckers were seeking out a legal kill, they are murderers.

Glad one of them is dead. Should have been both. 😞

Saw Waters in Salt Lake City a while ago. I have N E V E R felt the way I did there. It was almost like some revolutionary political gathering.

And to think, after that, that Water was anti trans? Dude had an entire stage made of screens, with images showing support for EVERY SINGLE marginalized person that exists. It was fucking beautiful.

Gilmore really made a fuckin’ fool of himself here, casting away an ally like that.

Hasan’s pant inspo.

Nah, she deserves every single ounce of hate and pain that gets delivered to her.

There it is.

You do realize that this thread is about Ukrainians who are expressing their desires for peace talks, right?

What about you, who are encouraging people to march to their deaths? How are you any better than a ‘tankie’ who wants peace negotiations?

You aren’t better. You’re worse. You want people to die for some patriotic pride you’re applying to them.

Most moral army, by the way. And America’s best friend.

Some more anxiety tips:

-Be cold, can’t feel your shakes when your shivering

-Splash cold water on face, slap your vagus nerve in the face.

For sure. I just think it was pretty eye opening for me; that when it all comes down to it, we’re all united under the same banner of struggle. Some people have just fallen through the cracks in the mess of it all.

On the flip side, I was talking to day with a truck driver who was Republican. He was complaining about his trucking company, the CEOs and how local food taxes are about to go up due to stadiums being built in the city. I said, “you know, they should really be putting those taxes onto the CEOs and the businesses screwing you over.” Motherfucker said he’d vote for me lmaoooo

I think they might be easier to win over than I once thought.

What do you suggest people do then? Protest the vote and take to the streets? Not asking to be a dick, just genuinely curious.

Yo check this out. First, we stop sending them, saving tax dollars. Then, we release the ones inside, saving tax dollars. Then, we make it recreationally legal, creating tax dollars. Then we fuckin’ ban for profit prisons lol

Or maybe just a pile of money kinda lookin’ like Jabba the Hut.

Absolutely. I guess I just consider those things more in the realm of “hobby” rather than a job that might come to the union. No reason someone shouldn’t be able to make wood-whatever and sell it in their retirement. That was actually one of the things my dad argued, it’s sad to see someone work their whole lives to become a tradesman, only to have that same ability kneecapped because you’ve retired. And I agree. That’s why I also made point 3, because usually when things don’t make sense there’s a reason. Whether it’s a lack of information or just misinformation. We both had a lot of questions neither of us could answer, ya know?

Had to explain this to my dad when he told me about the carpenters unions not allowing his brother to work after he retired.

1: Unions are the democratization of workplaces; for better or for worse.

2: Should you really be working when you’re claiming retirement checks from your union?

3: People are often falsely confident on their views about things. People love to complain about the government while hardly understanding anything about it. The same happens everywhere, including unions. Just because some dude is miffed doesn’t mean they have any right to be. They can be misinformed.

American politics is so fucked, man.

This is far left to you? Jesus fucking Christ. We’re doomed.
