Canada too, apparently

This definitely helped answer my question, thanks yall!

Has China given an indication they’re allied with the US? This is an earnest question.

There is another power we have, but it requires organization. Voting with your feet. Walkouts, strikes.

Seeing a nationwide general strike is extremely unlikely, but my god it would be magical to see.

Fair enough! It’s been a very long time since I took stats haha

Thank you!!

The methodology is actually pretty good, though I don’t understand why, for a computerized survey, they only chose to survey 0.0015% of the population.

I feel like they could’ve easily surveyed more people.

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn

But without our brain and muscle, not a single wheel can turn

We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn

That the union makes us strong

Much larger portion of the sample

How do we know this poll accurately represents what most Americans think?

This is why community is such an act of protest against fascism. Government won’t let you buy what you need? Oh, well we have a community with gardeners, farmers, bakers, etc.

Community, y’all, thats how we survive. We survive and we fight together.

As long as you’re not seeking out young women just because they’re easier to manipulate. If you respect her and she knows what your intentions are, no it isn’t morally wrong.

“The phrase is a figure of speech comparing such a manager to a typical squawking and messy seagull, with one employee characterising seagull managers as those who “flew in, made a lot of noise, dumped on everyone from a great height, then flew out again, leaving others to deal with the consequences”.”

This gave me a good laugh

Yeah no shit eh?

Oh Donnie, you’re gonna make him a martyr, aren’t you, you stupid fuck?

Juuuust suckling the kool-aid straight from the teet.

Give a clear example bud.

I get that playing the contrarian is fun and makes you feel cool and smart, but if you can’t actually back up what you say, it makes you look like a dumbass.

The problem is the DNC wanted to uphold the status quo. They never wanted change. If they did they would’ve run Bernie when they had the chance.

I’m secular, but I’m very interested in religion from a historical perspective, since it’s influenced and has been influenced by humans for so long.

Anyway, the way I think about sin is that it’s the things that make us human. As in, none of us are perfect, we are all sinners, we are all born that way. We must strive to be good people, but we cannot forget that we are also people (imperfect, fallible).

I think they mean learning about history slaps. History is both interesting and extremely important even when it’s depressing.

Encouraging learning about history is something we should continue to do, even if it means using collloquialisms.

Holy shit that is all super interesting! I’m interested to know what he actually wrote, because i do find really often when people write about real experiences regarding things of that ilk, there are others with ulterior motives that use the guise of “protecting children” to quash communication of those experiences.

An example that comes to mind in North America is a lot of red states banning Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut for sexually explicit content, which if you’ve read Breakfast of Champions, you’d recognize that it’s a misrepresentation of the content of that book, and that that book deserves a far more nuanced discussion. I’m assuming this will likely be a similar situation.

As for weed, as a Canadian, hell yeah to legalization, and also as a Canadian who has lost friends to fentanyl, fuck fentanyl. You’ve totally given me a new rabbit hole to jump down, so thank you!
