yes. the strong union protections in California is why Tesla opened all their manufacturing in California and hasn’t busted any attempts to unionize those factories. so glad you know better the history of labor in california than the workers there fighting for their rights

the only real narrative that matters is the consensus you and your neighborhood reach. all politics are local first

(George Washington was one of those slaveholders in a southern state)

@[email protected] always out here saying what i’m trying to say, but better

you could email corporate though to say you will not be purchasing any McChickens due to a negative experience you had at location #<the location numbers are on plaques near the bathroom>

that’ll tend to happen as long as art is based on life

“ah rad, you like megadeth! i like megadeth! what have you had on repeat lately? for me it’s been egg punk”

if you live in a common law tradition country like the United States, go read about Jury Nullification right now. and then shut the fuck up about it. if you are summoned for Jury Duty don’t bring it up unless directly asked about it.

am i? they implement draconian mass surveilance measures, reinforce racism, and tolerate a shocking degree of transphobia. when i look at the things the labour party has done in my life, i see a littany right-wing populist actions that undermine left-wing populist movements. if we use the definition of fascism that fascism is right-wing populism undercutting left-wing populism, i find it hard to see Labour as something other than the slick clean wide smiling acceptable version of Britain’s Ur-Fascism spearheaded by the Conservative and Union Party

Anarchists are a genre of libertarians though. It’s just that who dominates the landscape of “libertarian” is ancaps, who are just fascists with a weirder set of steps to implement a fascist nightmare.

It bugs me sometimes that Labour gets to claim it’s centre-left when it so consistently is fascist.

there like… does seem to be an undercurrent that the great races meet O’Neil and are like “the tauri are close” and then meet Carter or Jackson and are like “on second thought…”

my read is that they appreciate O’Neil’s pragmatic simplicity. he doesn’t try to impress the other races, he tries to achieve the best possible outcome in any given situation. Carter and Jackson i think remind the other races of the ancients too much and from everything we can tell, the ancients aren’t very good neighbors. the asgard even seem to believe that O’Neil is more advanced than the other tauri, and i think that’s because he somewhat hews away from Ancient approaches and more toward Nox.

that said i do have critiques of O’Neil given that he exists as an air force propaganda tool

not what i’m saying, but whatever

edit: since you downvoted me witheut engaging at all, i’ll reiterate what i said before: Hasan is the most least worst streamer. if i am forced to recommend a streamer, he’s the one i’d recommend. i just don’t think that streamers offer much value, politically. people don’t really go to them and have their minds changed. that happens with in person activism. i think Hasan offers value in the form of propaganda presence, which i think all any of us can ever offer here on lemmy. however, if you really want to hear from someone useful, go to a soup kitchen run by a mutual aid project and talk to the people there about what to do about all this. where i’ll give hasan his roses is he’s generally speaking in alignment with people like that. however, my main criticism: streamers as a group aren’t great, remains my main criticism

I think us leftists in America need to put together a wrestling promotion further left than AEW. WWE is MAGA, AEW is DNC. We need a wrestling promotion equivalent of punk rock/actual leftists out in the streets doing things to communicate with the world what AEW and WWE miss about what goes on around here. I think it should be Luchadora inspired since the queer/femme scene in northern Mexico is really popping off right now

Man what a huge disappointment given I find nothing of value in streamer drama. I’m sure it’s entertaining if you’re into that sort of thing but if I wanted unlikeable people yelling at eachother while crowds of people who already knew who they wanted to win and didn’t really care what the actual outcome was watched, I’d go to a backyard pro wrestling promotion lol

To emphasize: not trying to yuck anyone’s yum, but I have so many people in life come to me like I for sure definitely have a favorite streamer when how I try to engage with streamers and their opinions on things is I don’t lol

Default lemmy UI

That’s bonkers lol. I just opened my DMs and was like “what are you even talking about?!”

Is this… Not a DM? It’s appearing on my end as DMs? Where are you seeing it?

what the fuck? where did i do this? and no, i’m not an Asmongold fan. i think ALL streamers are scumbags and part of the problem. Hasan is the most least part of the problem, however i still dislike him

It’s a riff I have going with my wife that no one wants to hang out with the Tok’ra, and especially no one wants to hang out with the ancients, however, all of the great races want to hang with O’neil because (in your best Thor impression) “he’s a good hang”
