They certainly are, I agree! But they’re cowards.

Republicans only want to fight the weakest opponents, in rigged matches, and they still gotta cheat. Even a little resistance, when we stand together, dissolves their cotton candy confidence.

I was lucky enough to see a small piece of what that kind of resistance looks like on Sunday after canvassing. The organizers did us a solid and got us into a rally in queens that was packed. The energy was really encouraging, especially seeing all the other volunteers and various groups that are actually showing up, to help and to fight. It mirrors a lot of the grassroots movements and community building popping up in many cities and towns across the country.

It’s encouraging because it illustrates victory directly. Standing up for each other in spite of those threats of violence is courage, and historically that’s the strongest “antifa weapon” we know, because fascism can only lose wherever courage remains.

But there will be something, correct? Some fight, some resistance. Assuming you’re not planning on giving up that is.

And you can call the stubborn cunts of that resistance whatever you like, but good money’s on something with a lot of high-value name recognition like, I dunno, “democrats” or something.

Old dems are ded dude. They didn’t do anything before and that was their MO … true.

But the reason they will do nothing about it in the future is that they’re ghosts, electoral echoes of cynical centrist complacency.

The new dems will be different simply because they clearly must be different to even win votes.

Platform safety barriers

True! The subway here is just hobbling along compared to the nice trains over there lol

massive Worldwide version of the Schengen area

I don’t think that’s terribly far-fetched! In our lifetime I think we’ll see more superfederal international governments coalesce, a world with clear borders, fewer weapons, and a collective focus on common goals.

where everyone is tolerant of each other, no more scarcity, no more conflict

Hell yeah. Honestly I think the global rise of fascism predicts that coming together. That society is just too organized and united to be bought and divided by the wealthiest. It would explain why they’ve done their best to increase conflict and fear everywhere, to stop the clock of progress and carve out their little kingdoms. Either way, it’s only delaying the inevitable, because deep down everyone knows that this period of housekeeping is well worth the world on the other side.

See you there :)

That’s quite a journey! Glad you found your place here. I hope one day PRC and US can teach each other the parts they get right.

Been in places with turkeys around and they totally do that. More importantly, they chuckle nervously at loud noises and a group of them together sound like a low-energy laugh track. It pairs well with Seinfeld bits.

Ha-toodle-oodle-oodle-oo!

Good news! It was deprecated last November and officially sunsetted Q1 of this year.

“Naughty corporations” made me chuckle, but “I don’t know what the solution is” definitely rang true.

Most boomers actually don’t know where to begin, even though many of the solutions would be a 6-year-old’s first guess, and are actually proven to work, simply because they grew up being told that every single one of those obvious, proven solutions were “socialist” and that socialism was anti-American.

That indoctrination was so thorough that these solutions can be put right in front of them, gift-wrapped, with a neon arrow pointing at an easy button labeled “fix that shit,” and they’ll still shrug and say “we’re all out of ideas, maybe ask a billionaire what to do, surely they know how to fix the system.”

And the sad part is that they do and, in fact, already did.
