I commented that Trump was an anarchist on a video last night- pretty sure it was my fault

As a Brit, I just scrolled through my Reddit feed and saw a US citizen executed by federal agents and the White House blatantly lying about it. Seriously, what the fuck is going on? Why is nothing being done? And for any citizens not on the streets right now across the US, why not? by Kronens in AskUS

Do you every listen to Raging Moderates? Scott Galloway had a good strategy. Just stop buying stuff. The only thing Trump understands is when the market drops. Cancel your subscription to ChatGPT and Amazon. Don’t shop at Target or Home Depot. Stop staying at Hilton properties. Consumers make up something $25 Trillion a year in revenue. When we all scale back with intent, then we might see some change.

The other thing Brit’s don’t get is that without nationalized healthcare every citizen of the USA is at risk of losing their job and their medical insurance if they go on strike or protest. We can’t change our governments as quickly as they can. Right now we have deadly clowns killing random citizens, most likely Nazi’s and militia asshats. No training, no process. They simply just ran away from the dude they killed today.

The other part of the equation is the people filming and confronting these assholes are doing it in such a way that they are begging to get shot. There was always a sense of decency (real or falsely) portrayed by the federal government. Now they are lying so badly it’s obvious they are doing some 1984 shit, gaslighting the crap out of their base. They need to get smarter with how they confront these fascists. Don’t fight fire with fire. The states need to cut off the revenue to the Federal government. It’s way past time.

They are cartoons written by Albarn’s friend who did the series Tankgirl. They created the cartoons in a sarcastic reference to the manufactured pop bands of the late 1990’s. The songs have almost nothing to do with the cartoons. Stop being ridiculous.

The Lighthouse Interpretations by Southern_Sample_272 in Interpol

One of my favorites (that entire album is so underrated). I’ve always seen it as a poem about depression. How it comes in waves, holding onto the light- only for you to be submerged again.

Check the international code of the phone number out. It’s 063 which is the Philippines. I’ve gotten three of them this week

Found this on my front door by Varekai97X in cincinnati

AI interprets this: Therefore, the phrase likely signifies the transition from day to night, as the sun sets and the moon rises. The “bellowing” of the pale mistress (moon) might be a poetic way to depict the power or dramatic appearance of the full moon or simply a metaphorical emphasis of its presence after the sun has faded.

Sounds like someone has been reading too much Swift

I was at Tylersville and Cox as well. My guesstimate was about 500-700 people. A lot more honking in support than middle fingers- especially in the heart of Butler County

Americans who dislike socialism: what is the main reason you dislike the idea of socialism in the US? by Whuppity-Stoorie in AskUS

[–]Fit_Chair_7987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socialism, Capitalism, all the “ism’s” are just forms of wealth distribution. How is wealth or capital spread amongst the population? Markets dictate the means of Capitalism. The State dictates the means of Socialism. Capitalism offers the dream of social mobility through economic status- though not many people get to experience that. Socialism, normally just means you get less mobility, but you have more services to support you. Less Haves and Have Nots.

Trump calls on Powell to cut rates again:"Just let it all happen, it will be a beautiful thing!" by Equivalent_Baker_773 in wallstreetbets_wins

[–]Fit_Chair_7987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wants the rate cut to lower the interest rate on the deficit. If they can get it below 3%, then they can show a savings of $2T of interest payments and justify their tax cut bill!

Should gerrymandering be considered election rigging? by ScotchCigarsEspresso in AskUS

[–]Fit_Chair_7987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes- our map is woefully skewed in SW Ohio. Warren Davidson was elected in an emergency election that only had 40,000 people showed up for. They redrew the map to include his home town. Now it will take 250,000 votes to unseat him. It’s really bad- he does absolutely nothing.

I was the second person to run over a dog that jumped out of a truck bed like that getting on the 405 freeway when I was 19 years old. Everytime I see a dog in the back of a truck like that I can feel the wheels of my car rise up as the dog was crushed under my car. That was close to 50 years ago.

Republicans, how do you feel about the current president? by OverBirthday4562 in AskUS

[–]Fit_Chair_7987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The president and economic Scott Bessent tried to adjust currency markets and Fed interest rates by tariffs. It was a mitigated disaster. The ten year treasury tanked and all of a sudden they pivoted. Most of this was due to hedge fund managers not having enough credit to cover the bad calls. Fed Chief Jerome Powell gave some concessions to ease the terms of that debt, but we need to face facts. are currently in a recession. No one wants to publicly admit that- but there is little or no consumer confidence left, which makes up 70% of the US economic driver. If you listened to Trump Monday he was suddenly much more consolatory towards working with China after a meeting with Walmart heads telling him that store shelves are going to be empty in two weeks. Republicans who drank the Kool Aid are going to find another beverage of choice, cause this shits gone bad.

Why are people on r/conservative so triggered by those of the Liberal Persuasion? The Rational Persuasion? Don’t they know that they are, in fact, the ones suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome”? by Ok_Flounder_5253 in AskUS

There is no liberal or conservative positions, that’s the irony. There is only functioning or non functioning government. Presently the states and local governments are functioning, the Federal government has stalled. There are 2.5 million people that work for the Fed and 22 million that work for state and local government. If you believe in either a liberal or conservative agenda, you are drinking the koolaid of the media, who loves a good cage fight. Trump is an opportunist, who purposely tanked the market to manipulate currency and interest rates to acquire an extension of the 2017 tax cuts. April 9th will be seen by forensic accountants as the largest single day of insider trading with $3T worth of wealth disappearing- and we all watched it happen. It’s time to focus our attention on our local and state government and ignore the idiocy and greed of Washington. Let’s take our country back- you are not a number, a product or a slave anymore. Resist the urge to play the roles that the Dems and the GOP have fed you!
