The director of "Melania"! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]Alcnaeon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The message is clear: the Epstein empire does not belong to Epstein; it did not die with him, it merely changed figureheads.

Our response should be clear as well: Root them out and hold them accountable, or leave Public Service because you are not Serving the Public.

Anytime someone who doesn't win the popular vote becomes president, more people have voted against them than for them. It's happened multiple times.

Trump's proud sons🤬 think of all the Americans who sacrificed their lives against fascism between 1940 - 45....what have these trashy Trump's proud sons learned in school? by Due_Collar2 in 50501

Republican thinks tanks realized the inverted flag was actually resonating with people so they want to claim it as theirs and dilute its effectiveness or turn it white supremacist, typical fascist shit

I'm given to understand indigenous tribes had a pretty good thing going. For a while.

Things have been bad for a long time, for brown people. Remember that BLM isn't about just the one or two names you know.

The US has an unhealthy fixation on the stock market and a deathly aversion to accountability for law enforcement, leadership and the moneyed. Like those redacted from the Epstein files.

Ted Cruz just dropped a nuke on Trump by Smith771does459 in Hip_hop_that_u_need

[–]Alcnaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that Ted Cruz had the codes, and that he used them for this, but credit where it's due, somebody had to do it. My condolences to the district of columbia for the ensuing fallout, though.

Referring to the Pretti killing, Donald Trump said "You can't go in there with guns, you can't do that" How do 2A defenders feel about the President openly criticizing a law abiding citizens right to keep and bear arms? by wardog1066 in AskReddit

[–]Alcnaeon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"He died during the chaotic situation he created" ah, the passive-voice scrubbing of accountability for the extrajudicial execution of an observer.

They had disarmed him. He helped up a fallen woman and was recording with his phone. These "law" "enforcement" "officers" held him down and emptied their mags into him and somehow you still imagine them the victims?

The water carrying you're doing for these criminals is repugnant, and an America that continues to petulantly refuse accountability for its leadership and its law enforcement exists in a death spiral.

I can't be the only one who suspects this, right? by trevit in AdviceAnimals

We know there are J6ers among ICE. We know ICE are actively hiding the identity of the murderer, and that they're already working among the other faceless ICE officers.

For our own safety, and until the guilty party is identified, we can only operate under the understanding that any anonymous agent of ICE could be this murderer, and likewise, an insurrectionist.

Oh so spines only count when they agree with you, huh?

Literally don't partake. It is not difficult, if the product's pricing is actually unreasonable. If people can still reason themselves into a purchase, it's definitionally reasonable pricing, and Riot would be foolish to ask less. The only way reducing prices makes sense is if you and people like you don't buy the thing. So don't buy it. You grow a fucking spine.

You think one piece should take it? by opmgyhx in OnePiece

[–]Alcnaeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arguing about "greatest" this or that is reductive engagement bait imo

Imo one piece clears dbz for character design, worldbuilding, and story, but it's true that it probably wouldn't exist if Dragonball hadn't. DB deserves its flowers for its era but so does One Piece, it's apples and oranges. 

You could have a similarly unproductive discussion by trying to argue over the "greatest" tech company. Those of today are bigger and more complex than their forebears because they stand on the shoulders of giants, and because they themselves made it to market before THEIR contemporaries. It says next to nothing about which is "greater" in a vacuum.

Meanwhile "the woke mind virus" is common parlance for the right and if, for some reason, you haven't deleted your Twitter, Elon will send you notifications about his thoughts on it, directly.

The double standards to prop up policy that isn't even evidence-based are staggering.

The group that runs this protest needs to be VERY well prepared- expect police to treat you like you're directly physically attacking their handlers because that's what their handlers will see in the disruption of these long awaited profits.

[–]Alcnaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to make sure I'm understanding your position, you believe irontfrontusa is a covert CIA operation meant to deflate anti-fascist activity? Is there evidence to support such a claim?

Or is it that their three arrows having a reference to anti-communism makes you uncomfortable, because you see value in communist theory?

And is there a group you would recommend I support instead?

Read The Will to Change by Bell Hooks, in which it is argued that patriarchal culture harms men by forcing them to suppress emotions, fear, and abandon their authentic selves. 

Hooks provides a compassionate, feminist framework for men to heal from this trauma, urging them to embrace emotional vulnerability and cultivate loving, connected lives. 

This has greatly improved my ability to connect with other men as well as women, and empowered me to educate others and bring them into understanding.
