I think I saw "guess my fursona" at one point lol
Totally agree. She's been consistent in her support for Israel over the years, so it's been annoying seeing ppl defend her most recent vote.
Free thinker: "Okay the US lies about a lot of things, but they're definitely not lying to us about communism. Why would they even do that"
We get far too many genocide-defending pissrael posters from other instances to be lenient towards them. Pretty much every site besides a few leftist ones like ours lets them set up shop and run wild.
We refuse to give genocide and genocide apologia a platform here.
I imagine its mainly a matter of 1) expertise, and 2) priorities.
- The detectives who are actually good at solving crimes get burdened with hundreds of cases, then suffer from burnout and retire early like a lot of professions nowadays. Then the people who come to replace them have no experience, have to learn from scratch, and the cycle repeats.
- Solving murders (especially when it involves poor people getting murdered) isn't profitable, and isn't prioritized as much as revenue-generating activities like drug busts, traffic ticketing, and getting poor and homeless people into the court and prison system. Like its probably <1% of cops of any given larger city that work on and know how to solve crimes like murder or theft. Cops are the hired goons of your city's capitalists, protecting their property is what they're paid to do.
My car got broken into when I was in highschool, and I learned the lesson that US cops aren't going to help you, and probably don't know how to solve even simple crimes like petty theft. It gains them nothing to help you, and that's not what they're being paid to do.
Bernie supported and asked people to vote for biden, who raped a woman in the 90s.
Again, despite what bernie and other war hawks tell you, there are options outside the democratic party.
It's generally seen as a submissive act to do it to someone else.
Yes we already know that societally it's employed as a homophobic and highly sexualized demeaning slur. Everything you wrote after is just apologizing for your use of it.
Because it accomplishes nothing. It's not good strategy to play a rigged game, where acheivements were only made when people refused to play it, and went around it.
You've given me no reason to play your rigged game.
All meaningful positive change in the US happened outside of the theatre piece of electoral politics. These include:
- Socialist armies like vietnam's bringing the US to heel ended the US draft.
- Large numbers of people protesting internally, brought the end of the vietnam war, rights for workers like the 8 hour day, women's rights, etc. The US has one of the bloodiest labor histories of any country, and unfortunately the US state did defeat it, but all of the gains for US workers come from this historical period of anti-capitalist organization.
US electoralism is a distracting theatre piece, where both sides act as capitalist puppets. All positive change comes in spite of that system, when ppl start organizing outside of it.
Liberals : "Play my rigged game"
Communists : "no"
Liberals : 😭😭😭
