Labor needs solidarity but the pudding-brains in the trade unions voted for MAGA leadership and for Trump. No presence from any trade unions in support of federal employee unions at any No Kings protests that I saw. The cancer is a generational cancer rooted in racism, xenophobia, and regular old stupidity. Labor will always lose when bigotry is allowed to exist without ridicule and isolation.

Corrupt Uncle Tom and his traitor of a wife need to sit down and STFU.

MAGAts, and most GOP really, are incapable of self-reflection or critical thinking. The current environment in the USA is what happens when you devalue education.

Good show at the beginning but they completely dialed in the last couple episodes and it came off as lazy and not respecting the viewer’s time.

Nothing changes through purely peaceful protest. Labor Rights and Civil Rights were both won through bloodshed.

Death to Putin’s puppet, Orban.

Sad news. This was one of my first VR experiences. Paintball game was a lot of fun.

I get that and I could see that as an excuse maybe 10-15 years ago, but my thinking is that in the age of regular internet availability, nation-wide, there is less of an excuse to be ignorant and it’s more of a choice at this point about whether you are informed or not.

Vote in better Congresspeople who will vote to remove him from office. The problem is the people. Always has been.

I already kind of wrote off any kids raised in Florida. It’s like Mississippi or Alabama at this point.

They’re both evil and stupid.

Maybe don’t have a king? The King of Jordan has been wearing knee pads in service to the US for years!

So then they fall under the “stupid” category if they actually believe and live their lives according to unprovable mythology and “evil” if they don’t actually believe and just use the religion as an excuse to oppress others.

Why are the American people are so stupid? They literally vote for pedophile rapists and then complain that the pedophile rapists don’t agree to disclose their actions as sexual assaulters. That’s like buying a wasps nest and then complaining that they won’t stop stinging you.

If you think one gender needs to be subservient to another you’re either an evil person, a stupid person, or both.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. What difference does it make if someone grew up poor with whether they push the button or not that kills 100 children? Like, sure, the person who gave the order is a piece of shit, but the “good” poor soldier who pushes the button still kills 100 kids. That’s not a good person in my book.

So because they are poor, they eagerly sign up to kill other poor people on behalf of rich people? How about instead they do something productive and kill the rich people who order them to kill other poor people? Why are we so averse to persona responsibility? Were poor Nazi soldiers blameless? Are IDF soldiers? Russians in Ukraine? We need to stop with one standard for others and then a lower one for our own.

Might be surprising, but the US military killed over one million innocent civilians in its unjust wars of the early 2000s. Anyone who joins up now is either signing up to kill people, or signing up to “serve” because they are ignorant about what our nation actually does. Why would I give a break to a poor US soldier that I wouldn’t give to a Russian, IDF, Iranian, or Nazi SS? We are all responsible for our own personal actions. The country and world would be better off if the poor killed their rich masters rather than each other for their masters. I’ll not forgive their willingness to be puppets.

I’m an old millennial. I don’t make excuses for my own behavior, so I won’t make any for others. Not taking personal responsibility for our own actions is how we get to the fucked up world we have now. Everyone wants to make excuses for why people do evil acts. US service member is no better than one from any other nation. I’ll hold them to the same standard as I would anyone else. Russian soldiers are responsible for the orders they follow, same as IDF, same as the SS, and same as US soldiers. Just following orders isn’t an excuse, and “I kill people for 3 hots, a cot, and the GI bill” isn’t a valid excuse either.
