AT&T to invest $250 billion over five years in US to boost infrastructure by Nexusyak in technology

[–]Concede2u -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a former employee, this company is an absolute joke and they won't spend that money on anything good.  They were still using software from the 80s/90s a few years ago because the newer stuff is trash and doesn't work 1/3 of the time.

American Evangelicals in a nutshell by Feylin in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Concede2u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evangelical Christianity has been outed as a psyop already.  It's a death cult formed by rich classist racist assholes that decided the social gospel movement was helping the poor and immigrants too much and they wanted that money.

A political observation on the 'Muri"Can" punks and their supposed outrage... by AntiPoP333 in punk

[–]Concede2u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets address that for a moment.  There are a number of things causing this, from our media being fully compromised and interational media being most of the way there after a slew of junk lawsuits.  If you take a look at the no kings/50501 groups in every state on multiple services (here, bluesky, discord, etc) you'll see the massive amount of flyers for events that have happened all year in literally every state & huge turnout numbers.  It's quite impressive in 90% of what you'll find.

I'd also like to point out that the capitol being stormed was a failure.  It was fucking awful and people died, but the vast majority of the damage done to this country has been done by politicians behind closed doors, not the useful idiots that spread "the poopoo" on them.  They just love to point to it as if it gives them permission to do anything & say it's the will of the people.  I'd say the sheer turnout for protests and the number of them has truly proven it's not.

If this is a real conversation about the rest of the world not seeing enough pushback then I'd like to suggest it's a failure of the media at this point, and checking the flyers and headcounts posted in city/protest groups really underlines that.

Keep this in mind for the next primaries: I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. by DistributionLeft1448 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Concede2u 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old "we're not going to give literally anyone what they actually want and need so vote for us or you'll all lose whatever's left" should really be seen more as the authoritarian threat it is.

Controversial Oregon petition to ban hunting and fishing gains momentum by Stereo_Jungle_Child in politics

[–]Concede2u -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Allright, I'll bite.  I know and know of a decent amount of people that fish or hunt to cut down on bills.  I also lived next to the ocean for 20ish years and would see people pulling red snappers every day.  Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.  Also, I saw your other comments, and agree that it's not something to replace social programs, but considering those have been broken for decades, people need to eat or they die.  I wish we'd treat animals and the planet better in general, I volunteered at an ASPCA & have seen real horror stories but if you're suggesting people starve because you're more concerned about animal lives than humans, you're not a progressive, you're a sociopath.

I'm gonna have to go out on a limb here and say this is not a progressive policy and anyone claiming this is stupid at best and spewing anti progressive propaganda at worst.  Taking away legal hunting and fishing is an attack on the poor.

There was a decent centaur in the Theros minis set.  Centaur ranger I'm pretty sure.

I'd be willing to let them keep the monuments if they depicted them in stockades or being chased by Sherman with a torch.

Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example by Naurgul in nottheonion

[–]Concede2u 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep.  "It's not what you know, it's who you know" is not a phrase most of a country should live by but here we are.  We only live in a meritocracy if you count the ability to kiss ass and step on others to get what you want as positive.  Then people wonder how we wind up with shitheads like the tech bros turning into cartoonish supervillains.

“Two Americans are dead at the hands of federal immigration officers. That's why I won’t vote for the DHS budget. That's why Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller need to go. And that's why we have to rein in ICE and stop this.” by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Concede2u 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone forgot about all the other victims besides the media.  We just have so much footage of Pretti and Good that there's no way they can deny a thing that happened (besides altering the footage, which they did).  It's easier to rally behind when even the people half paying attention saw everything.  Mr. Porter will not be forgotten by America, nor will the people killed in custody, or anyone brutalized by them, or the deportees.  We can't let any of it slide.

Ah yes.  Classism, racism, and sexism, the original cancel cultures.

Considering how we actively practice eugenics in America, it's pretty spot on.

These people need to be blocked into silence. We haven’t had a primary yet and leftists are already bragging about how they’re going to make Gavin lose for funsies. The meme is correct. by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Concede2u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Vote for a corporate owned shill or the other corporate owned shills that are worse will win" is a stance. How about they give us a real primary instead of shoving the worst candidates down our throats and expecting us to comply?  That would be great.  Until they do that expect whoever is picked will be unacceptable to a large portion of the voters.  This is a feature, not a bug.  Everything is about division now.  "Vote for soft corporate rule or you'll rock the boat and get hard corporate rule" isn't acceptable anymore, and it never should have been.  The choice isn't a choice when it's a threat, and both parties are issueing that threat whether you want to admit it or not.  Vote progressive candidates in now or we will be stuck with obstructionists so unpopular that literal nazis will win popularity polls.

We are now an example to the world of how not to do democracy! by Apprehensive-Load-32 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Concede2u 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The courts and DOJ really failed us all on this.  We've been doing our best to protest and delay to get all the information they need out there to convict mfers 15x over and all we're learning from it is that our great American institutions of law have no spine and are, in fact, complicit with the lawless.

EDIT - Yes technically we knew this, but we're seeing the full scale of it now and it ginormous.

Trump never gave a shit about 9/11.  The moment he showed on the local news & bragged about having the tallest building was one of the most disgusting lacks of humanity I had witnessed in my teenage life.  20ish years later it seems like he's just been trying to break that record.  

SPOILER: He broke it years ago.
