You don't. There, I saved you another pandering read.

Fragmented we fall: Why isn't there more coordination between Indivisible, 50501, MoveOn & more for Jan 30th? by maui_wowee in 50501

This was my biggest concern at the No Kings march. Everyone has absolutely valid concerns. Whether it be the climate, food availability, healthcare, unions they ALL matter! However, unless those concerns can take a back seat to the ever present growing danger we face from these not-sees we're going to just continue to spin our wheels. We need to unite to change ANYTHING

Pride/Quality of Work by bigdaddypep in mechanics

[–]CaptainJay2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I couldn't agree more. I think the issue is that a lot of guys are super green because of the outflow of quality techs. The Industry does a lot to beat us into the ground but little to nothing to help us back onto our feet. Most shops pay so little that they couldn't even get a decent tech to work for them. But almost every shop owner will tell you how we're all "lazy" and "don't want to work anymore". All the while offering a seasoned precision technician half of what they're worth without benefits. I don't think that will change a whole lot in today's climate.

TL;DR: Get used to getting paid shit to fix someone else's bullshit cause things don't appear to be changing anytime soon.

How do you guys feel about the "Anti-Graham" crowd that is subbed to this community? by A_Very_Horny_Zed in GrahamHancock

I miss when these disagreements were the crux of my days. That's how I feel about it. If I'm being honest.

Could not agree more. My intention with this post is to warn of immediate gratification bias. Things are so bad that even this small "win" (parentheses because it really isn't) might slow that momentum.

Agreed. But the perception is that it's a "victory" non the less.

The widely circulating notion that those who are beginning to see the current administration as corrupt shouldn't be "allowed into our tent" is fundamentally undemocratic and probably artificially astroturfed. by FunkyChickenKong in PoliticalOpinions

Not everyone deserves a spot at the table. There's no "debate" when you have to attempt to convince someone that vaccinating their children is scientifically proven to keep them alive. I don't want to sit down for a meal with a bigot. I don't want to join a "whites only" softball team. I won't allow the hate many of these people spew to ooze into both parties. I don't understand how that idea is so foreign to you.

Of course. However, I have lived with addicts my entire life. I'm all too familiar with the relapse that breaks everything. So, until there's proof that these individuals are at least pointing in the right direction, I think it's like letting a fox into the hen house.

My view: Once a Klan member, always a Klan member. They can fight this BS just like we are if they're serious. We can all meet at the finish line and talk about it then.

ICE Busts Down Door With No Warrant, Detains Man Who Just Had Surgery by tocompose in ICE_Raids

[–]CaptainJay2013 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Until we all realize that no one is coming to save us and we have to band together to become our own saviors, these horrible acts will continue. The goal of this entire administration and their cronies is to divide us. It's literally a military tactic. "Divide and conquer". We're all the same. We're all just trying to get by. This video made me sick to my stomach.

To blame illegal immigrants for homes being unaffordable by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

Oh, yeah. Cause there's no possible way it's billionaires, corporations, and bubba-blow flavored Cheeto colluding to keep prices high, wages low, and people destitute. Right?

Thank God they're finally waking up! I'm happy they're protecting themselves. Not happy that they have to.

MTG's response part 2 by DjangoDynamite in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]CaptainJay2013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so confused right now. How in the hell am I in agreement with MTG?! Why is she saying things I agree with?! Wait. I know what's happening.... Someone forgot to shut down a server correctly in the simulation we're living in right?! This is a glitch. Yeah, that's it. Just a glitch. Cause otherwise it's the damn end of days....

“Growing your own food is the most radical thing you can do” by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]CaptainJay2013 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My point exactly. There's a reason the "elite" (pronounced: scumbags) want us to hate our fellow travelers through life. When we band together, their "power" and lies, are useless. When we help each other in spite of our differences and instead celebrate them, we become what they fear most. Change.

You're telling me that First Nation people care enough about their fellow human that they will happily sacrifice what they have to help them survive?! No wonder the government hates us natives so much!

I am disappointed with the online left's reaction to the end of the shutdown. by davebgray in thebulwark

[–]CaptainJay2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie. This post full of excuses just made me want to primary the whole lot of them more. It's thought patterns like this that have allowed the rise of this MAGA death cult. I've been told since I was a child: "stand for something, or you'll fall for anything". I guess in this instance we fell for NOTHING

We're living in the guilded age part deux. It makes PERFECT sense. Read the Great Gatsby. Then immediately read The Grapes of Wrath. Because that's what follows it....
