Just Stop Oil activist jailed for six months for taking part in slow march [UK]

The fact that the comment sections of these posts are always the same just shows how much oil propaganda has affected the situation.

That and people thinking protesting isn't deliberately meant to disrupt the daily lives of people in an attempt to force them to acknowledge there's a problem and do something about it.

By nature protests are supposed to be disruptive to the average person because it's the average person that decides what policies and laws we have.

The problem is the average person is too stupid/ignorant/tired/lazy to realize this and just sees it as a personal attack and reacts with pure emotion.

Zelenskiy Releases Personal Income in Transparency Push

This is what still blows me away.

A fucking actor is doing a better job running a country specifically during wartime than a typical politician.

It's fuckin embarrassing to every single person on this planet who's dealing with stupid/corrupt/inept politicians who would sell their constituents for fuckin toilet paper.

Y'all seem to be forgetting that the reason this was a coup attempt is because the national guard was never called in despite officials knowing of the attack.

They literally paved the way for the magats to get inside.

Trump popularity.

He physically mocked a disabled news reporter during his campaign.

He openly said the way to get women is to grab them by the pussy during his campaign.

He openly admitted to being a racist dumbass with the whole "build the wall" during his campaign.

Yeah I'd say it was pretty cut and dry that he was a special kind of dog shit from the beginning.

I've actually seen the opposite happen more often than the former. Both online and irl. A guy starts complaining about things and a cacophony of women show up to tell him how he'll never understand what it's like to be a woman.

Whenever I do see the opposite and when the guy interjects all that's said is "there's a time and a place to talk about men's issues" but like when is it then?

Don't forget to tip your gas station

I should be legally allowed to smash those screens if they play ads while I'm pumping my gas.

You used to be able to mute them by pressing one of the side buttons but now that just cancels your transaction and stops the pump.

I don't need advertisements shoved in my face every second of every day.

Neighbour deliberately blocking OP

I mean there should be consequences for being an asshole and the fact that assholes very rarely receive said consequences is why when they do it's usually brutal.

I'd definitely have scratched the paint on the passenger side and probably spit on the windshield.

Don't be an asshole and you won't have to worry about the consequences of being an asshole 🤷

The point isn't that it's impossible.

The point is they act like it's just as easy as it was when they were in their twenties.

Back when you could comfortably support a family with one job working 40hrs/week. Any job.

It's not a paradox

This is what I've always said to people when it comes to things like respect

Respect isn't earned it's the baseline. You give everyone a base level of respect as the default and their reaction is what determines your continued level of respect.

What shortage

I work in food service and the amount of people that mindlessly repeat "no one wants to work anymore" makes me literally tremble with rage.

Though a lot of the times all I have to say is "no one ever wanted to work. That's why you fucking pay us to be here." and it'll shut them up
