I 100% agree. But also, some folks have little choice as it’s the only path they have out of poverty. Could be their only chance for a decent education too.

Edit: I understand the backlash I’m getting. But I also realize that poverty produces desperation, and desperation can push people to extreme decisions. Easy for me to say “don’t ever join under any circumstances” when I’m not the one suffering in extreme poverty.

But Mexico is where brown people come from. And that’s what he hates.

What do these folks have against roundabouts?

Capitalism has always been like this to one degree or another. Maybe its inherent cruelty is affecting more people than it ever has, but it has always been cruel to poor and marginalized groups.

Capitalism only cares about money.

Resistance at even the smallest level matters.

Hostile infrastructure, intended to heap misery upon the most miserable among us. We punish people who should be helped, and help people who should be punished. What a backwards world.

Bingo. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

If you use Maps, they already know.

Narcissists always have to make everything about themselves.

He also thinks the OT law, including slavery, should be imposed on everyone. His opinions are invalid.

Republicans scream “freedom” louder than anyone, but they prove consistently that it’s just a slogan to them. Texas has outlawed gambling, marijuana, reproductive healthcare, gay marriage, and effectively outlawed porn. And they’re all up in the business of trans and gay folks. And they shove their religion down your throat every chance they get. I don’t think they understand the meaning of freedom.

No compromises with fascists.

Basically all the time.

UBI is a concession to capitalists. It pacifies the working class while maintaining the system that oppresses us. At best, it’s a band aid. We need full blown socialism. Not “Democratic socialism”, real socialism, in which the workers own and control the means of production. That is the only path to working class liberation.

As a newb, could you please help me understand why you prefer Debian to Ubuntu?

Yet they’re okay with war and genocide, even though that costs them money too. It’s clearly not about the money. The point is cruelty.

It is policing though. That’s what police are trained to do. They are trained to see us not as humans, but as threats.

I agree. But also, they’re all capitalists. Even the so-called Democratic socialists are capitalists.
