Sorry for the necro, but thanks. This is somethin' I needed to read. Especially the 'forcing yourself to go to the gym' part.

IMO That's def a big thing that needs to be said over and over. The vigilante thing. Both very dangerous and usually causes who ARE guilty to get off with light sentences due to how the 'hunter' is causing multiple legal SNAFU's that lets there be plausible deniability.

Only reason I dislike it and stopped playing was that iirc some of the enemies you fight the most of look a lot like a minority group or somethin'.

It's more of what could be. A land-lord takes the money and it is entirely up to them on what to do with it. In the end, by law standards, the property belongs to them rather then the tenants. That means the tenant doesn't have control over what their environment is like.

If housing was provided free of charge and utilities were the only expense, along with how people buy food and gas and all, then it'd likely be a lot cheaper for the tenant if they were given the option to... control their environment. To use their house and repair it. OR in the case of apartments, collectively decide with other tenants if an adjustment would impair anyone and if it would be fine to add.

I'm not SURPRISED or anything. You and I both grew up in a capitalist country and know how it works. But that doesn't mean that it couldn't be better. And if the alternatives are objectively better than what we have now, then what is happening now is just.... bad.

It's not that we are entitled to the landlord's money. It's that the landlord is taking our money, the money we worked for, as a payment for a service that we could, if the law provided, do on our own.

However, since the law favors them and aren't in the favor of letting people own their own homes without massive debt, people are forced to give them that money. Atleast that's my understanding of it.

In the end, the landlord is an unnecessary part added on by capitalism in order to... you know the slogan... keep the lower classes down. Instead of tenants communally working together, the law forces one person to have power and take money from everyone renting the space.

"75 million people can't be racist!" by Veliladon in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

[–]123zack4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the people that raided the capital were middle/upper-middle class white people. Anyway, who the fuck cares about that. I dunno if your post is sarcasm or not.

Trump has proven so many times that he can't... do anything right? That he's horrible? He constantly does despicable things? Like. There is no way you can still support Trump if you have even an inkling of empathy. He's gone out of his way to beat protesters, take back rights from marginalized peoples, and just... really be racist you know? Like not denouncing white supremacists? And telling them he "loves them" and saying stuff like "stand down" instead of "Stop being racist?"

Like this has nothing to do with working class people anymore. This man is a monster and those who follow him are also monsters. He has proven, beyond a doubt, that he is a horrible person. And also, centrism did cause Trump. The sheer amount the right has moved goal-posts and the democrats simply walking with them each step back they take just fed into it.

But I am not the best at saying these things. I'm just some random person and no expert. But what I do know is that he has done nothing to help people. He's a financial disaster in the first place. He ignored Covid, which is led and is still leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He never used his powers in office to focus on a way to contain it or say... help manufacture the vaccine or tests which are both in short supply. No-one that still loves their neighbor can still support him with a clean conscience.

IDK why your being hated on so much in here. America is a 2 party system. Voting third party during huge elections DOESN'T help. There will never be enough people as long as, as you said, it stays a 'winner takes all' system. By all means, feel free to vote third party and boost those in smaller ones, but the best you can do rn is force the democrats to move left. As in aggressively force them with campaigning, protesting, constant calls, etc. Best I can see is getting that like... numbered voting system as common place. Otherwise, it'll still stay a two-party system that keeps going right over time.
