Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, we're just finding out this whole thing was a circus to make us believe there was some form of order and justice. Clearly there isn't. What are we gonna do about it now that we're all wage slaves struggling to pay our bills?

Think we can organize a global strike? Bring the world economy to a standstill? Create new political parties and try to take over through democratic means? You think they'll just LET US? No. We're beyond fucked.

Nobody will want to give up their comfort to protest any of this. It's just brown people getting killed anyway, amirite? (Of course I'm being sarcastic with this sentence just in case some people think I'm being literal.)

up until the forced drafting starts will people actually put up or shut up and die when they are guaranteed to lose their comfort by default and get shipped off to a forever war in Iran and countries that allow Iranian forces to use their land.

Hopefully escalating gas prices will be enough to get people out there first. Americans are not used to feeling the repercussions of "finding out" after "fucking around" on the global stage.

We all better be crossing our fingers folks. Hope that our action takes us far enough. But I just go outside, look at some of the people in this world, and there is still too many people fucking asleep.

Groceries and everything else is already expensive thanks to Trump's policies. You think gas prices would change anything?

Infrastructure is so reliant on cars in the US, and even Canada. Mass amounts of people can't get groceries w/o a car. Can't afford the gas to get your unaffordable groceries? Might just be another pain point in the stack, but does stack one on top of the other.
