It's the same as any other group that manages to accumulate this much.

They just refuse to believe it's not sustainable, and if you don't agree with them. Then they fire you if you worked for them, if you were a politician they found a competitor to knock you out of office and say the lies they wanted to hear.

Which is the crux of the issue.

They've spent decades and billions of bribes to make sure there were two options, and both would do what billionaires tell them to. But the billionaires no longer control both parties.

Hell, they arguably don't control either, trump just usually agrees with them on his own.

They're losing their minds because there's no rational reason to keep the current system going...

It's impossible to keep it going at the current pace. Doesn't matter if the wealthy want it to last forever. They can't keep accumulating more and more finite and necessary resources.

Eventually the current economic system will go away.

Just a matter of how that happens, and who is (figuratively and maybe literally) left standing when the dust settles

Only among people who get tattoos for others...

For lots of people something as permanent as a tattoo isn't done to increase other's views, it's for a personal reason.

This DNC won't help any specific candidate in a primary, but they won't work against a specific candidate either.

That's all progressives and specifically AOC need, a fair primary.

We're on a huge inflection point, if we let some shirt bird neoliberals like Cuomo or Newsom win the primary, then they get to name the next DNC chair if they win the election

And we'll be right back where we were in 2020.

We can not afford to roll the dice on neoliberalism again, and AOC has the best shot right now. But a lot can change before the primary starts.

Not even that...

Look at the right wingers who tried to kill trump already, it's not easy because media just fucking dropped it.

There's a lot going on here, but there's no way in hell it's going to be released. With this admin, I wouldn't be surprised if they're straight up destroying records if they don't like what it says.

There won't even be a report years from now to disclose, they just won't retain any information on it and claim incompetence or a computer glitch if anyone ever looks into all these rightwing terror attacks.

Exactly on the day. Which makes me nervous about a few weeks from now...

Firefighters plan to torch Butler's former home and the neo-Nazi sect's former church July 15.

The IDF will never be held responsible for their actions the Israeli government that ordered them should be

You see zero irony and n that comment?

Like, Israel spent decades going after anyone tangentially connected to the Holocaust...

It was just a couple years ago they prosecuted someone in their 90s who was forced to be a teenage secretary for a nazi.

And you're legitimately implying:

The soldiers committing genocide were just following orders. We can't judge them for what they're actively doing , which is committing a genocide

For those wondering "why":

HAYDEN, Idaho -- Firefighters burned some of the remaining buildings on the former Aryan Nations compound during training exercises this week.

That was 24 years ago to the day....

Seems like it's too big of a coincidence, and since it's rightwing we'll probably officially never know with this admin.

Hell, Bernie endorsed him months ago

Being Jewish doesn't mean you're automatically pro-genocide...

Which if you told someone 70 years ago it would need to be said, they'd think you were crazy.

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to say, just that it's not relevant

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

The answer has always been to lean into it, not fight it.

It's like jumping off a bridge cuz someone called you a nerd, even tho the bridge isn't over water.

Can't take the bait.

If you want actual advice just put your stuff out there.

Dont apologize for it or make excuses that you're new.

Just put it out there and see if people like it

That being said, try not to do it a lot or in super general communities because some people may consider it spammy.

Israel's military said on Thursday it had detected "suspects" in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

On Thursday morning, Israeli tank fire hit six areas within the border strip, state media said.

The rounds struck Markaba, Wazzani and Kfarchouba, Khiyam, Taybe and the agricultural plains around Marjayoun — all of which lie within two kilometres of the Blue Line demarcating the border between Lebanon and Israel.

The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect from 4am local time on Wednesday.
