So very close to identifying the patriarchy and that men are victims of it too, and then wild miss at the end. sigh so, so close.

Yes. Marked by opulence and a distracted upper class, depending on foreign born nationals and the impoverished to defend them from the mob. A military class they eventually spit on and denied access to anything “Roman” which wasn’t a great incentive for you know, defending them from their own disgruntled citizens or enemies at their door. They cared more about their money and orgies and pedophelia than they did at maintaining the cogs of Empire of which their lifestyle depended. Bread and circuses and a whole lot of arrogant prejudice.

Well, that’s a whole lot of depressing graphs. Speaking of… I wonder if antidepressant use, or just depression rates in general, might have something to do with the married couples data.

I know she wants to stay humble and keep the focus on Palestinian suffering, but it’s important everyone on the flotilla share their experience at the hands of the Israelis.

Every person needs to return to their home country to speak on the depravity of the Israelis and their treatment of foreign nationals to highlight their cruelty and the horrors they inflict upon the population that’s 100% under their control and every whim, who the world has ignored for decades. Of the children held in those same cells deprived of food, water, bedding and often subjected to sexual abuse by both male and female guards.

“I don’t think I should probably discuss this any further than that, my opinion is that it was self-done, and I have reasons for that.”

Is your reason green paper based? Or perhaps ideological? Maybe fear?

And we know they chronically lie to cover their tracks… so… that’s the lowest they could drag that number and still make it sound somewhat feasible. Think about that.

It’s never about the cost. It’s always about the hate.

Gotta protect those corporations first and foremost. I’m so glad Walmart will be OK after this. Thank you officers! Walmart can sleep safe tonight knowing justice has been served.

They only need Trump to stay alive long enough to consolidate power. Then it’s phase 2. And it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks as far as “respect” or “like” them. The long term plan is privatize everything completely moving the seat of power away from government altogether. We’re well underway.

Well, they’re about to sink the SS United States… I thought it was satire but it’s an actual thing they’re doing. They’re sinking it in Florida which seems fitting.

So good Mexico hasn’t learned about gloves yet… or you know… night time. Phew. Close one.

I still can’t believe they did a military fly over to intimidate these women. I mean I believe it but I don’t believe it.

Literally died with “violence” on his lips

Political outsiders! Isn’t that what the right wanted? Drain the swamp!

Why hide deportation flights? Seriously. What is their reasoning?

Yeah, the Cop City protestors finally got this dropped.

Georgia judge to toss landmark racketeering charges against ‘Cop City’ protesters

I hate to be that guy but this whole thing has frustrated me deeply. It shows we’re willing to fight back and do know how, but our selective use of that power is rather superficial.

Yes, I understand this was very important in the realm of speech but it still has an overtone of celebrity culture. Most people can’t be bothered to boycott to end genocide or to protest legislation or support the courts or to advocate for worker rights or healthcare, but to save a celebrity that makes this nightmare easier for them to swallow every night? Sign everyone up!

It feels less about protecting free speech and fighting fascism and more about them protecting their humor drug that makes “the bad place” more palpable.

Americans know how to fight back they’re just unwilling to do it unless their TV personality who gives them feel good juice is on the milk carton. I know that’s harsh but it’s just frustrating watching everyone cry about how helpless they are until their feel good nightly placebo(s) was/are on the line.

Again, I get the importance and the way the target was clear etc. It’s just frustrating to watch people cry they don’t know what to do then step up big time for famous people but not their communities, neighbors or their own family’s wellbeing.

This is a huge win and I don’t mean to detract from that. Please keep boycotting and hopefully this drives it home to more people that this is an effective tactic across the board. I just needed to vent a little.

I am so SCARED. I mean just LOOK at this guy. Look at his socks! He’s clearly out to menace society. Phew. So glad those officers were there to set him straight and give him a good scolding. What would we do without these sorts of laws?! Society would just collapse. I’m sure of it.

…the vast majority political violence is done by extremist elements on the right.

Read a good point on another comment section that went something along the lines of:

Tyler Robinson was raised in a right-wing, specifically very MAGA, household. And what is one of MAGA’s primary values? Destroy what you don’t agree with. He didn’t use typical “leftist” problem solving when confronted with something he didn’t like, instead he employed the tools he was raised with, specifically violence against opposing views. Even if he flipped ideological perspectives (to a degree), he didn’t change his methodology. That rearing of hate and black-white thinking was still heavily embedded in his psyche.

Matthew Silverstone and another minor remain hospitalized, they were both shot at school the same day as Kirk. Their attacker was a right wing radicalized 16 year old who followed white supremicist ideology. I will not name said person. Only that they were following neo-nazis white supremacists and that may be reflected in who they chose to target. But not a peep anywhere and it appears no updates in a few days.
