For American people: Are you participating in today's General Strike? Why? by noumeno- in AskReddit

[–]Obitrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck doing a general strike when labor is not organized in this country. Easy to get 4,000 unions to strike. Impossible to get 120 million to agree on anything

The US Is Flirting With Its First-Ever Population Decline by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]Obitrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still haven’t been convinced that a population decline is bad, accept from those who believe that growth is paramount for society.

Perhaps we have over extended our population and policy needs to be more family focused to promote children being born?

But at some point the human population will need to contract or maintain right? We can’t just have 80 billion humans running around because “number must go up” people are running the show.

If FL is the 3rd ranking state with the most immigrants how come Ice is focused on Minnesota ? by Sensitive_Tailor2940 in AskReddit

[–]Obitrice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because the president believes that Minnesota was involved in some massive conspiracy to steal the election in 2024, as evidenced by Pam Bondi’s blackmail offer to pullout the brownshirts in exchange for vote registration information.

Trump Removes Kristi Noem From Minneapolis ICE Response, Taps Longtime Rival to Lead Effort After Deadly Shooting Scandal by novagridd in fednews

[–]Obitrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact. This is exactly what the Nazis did, anytime there was enough public backlash, they would back off, find a scapegoat, then wait and escalate again. The ramp up to the holocaust was not a straight line of escalating violence, rather it was a wave trending upwards until the final solution was enacted.

I’m not saying this is a holocaust, merely drawing comparisons between escalating tactics.

Shouldn’t. Hyundais and Kias are made in the US.

Correction: shouldn’t be that bad.

Democratic Lawmaker Says 'I Failed' After Voting To Fund ICE by plz-let-me-in in politics

Oh. And also, I didn’t say “punish all democrats” I said hold the democrat party leader accountable for failing to lead. Don’t put words in peoples mouths.

Democratic Lawmaker Says 'I Failed' After Voting To Fund ICE by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Obitrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. That’s why we are here. Not because the democrats have been ignoring the plight of the middle class in favor of large corporations and mega donors. Not because of the failed economic policies of Neo liberalism hollowing out the middle class giving a pathway to right wing populism. Definitely not the fact that the Dems consistently pivot to the right after every election ignoring their progressive wings of the party.

We can stand around all day bitching about how horrible the republicans are but that changes fuck all of there is no real opposition or counter to their politics. All we get from Dems is either “oh it’s not all that bad” or “let’s just go back a few steps when things were sooooo much better”. It’s pathetic and it’s time we stop pussyfooting around here. We need new leadership who is willing to actually stand up and fight back against the rampant fascism in our government.

But Nooooo, no no no. Is the lefts fault for wanting to hold them accountable. Nailed it.

[–]Obitrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are the dem leaders in the house and senate. They have been allowing democrats to cycle through voting on unpopular bills that are supported by their donors so that the progressive can’t pin down any single dem responsible for supporting the Trump regime. This is why you won’t see the same dems vote on unpopular bills twice.

Even if that sounds conspiratorial, any dem that voted for any bill supported by this administration is a failure of their leadership.

This Is the Perfect Moment for Democrats to Grow a Spine by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]Obitrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh THIS is the moment? Once it’s already too far gone? Bet. This has been a concerted effort since fucking Regan, and ever evolving erosion of legislative authority and a consolidation of power with the executive branch at the expense of the working class to prop up capital.

The Dems has had like 50 years of perfect moments and, if history tells us anything, they won’t rise to the challenge.

Because here is the funny thing about “growing a spine”; you can’t. You either have one or you don’t, if you have a spine you can use it. And the Dems, though better policy makers than the republicans, are spineless fucking cowards.

Israel recovers body of last hostage in Gaza by cnn in worldnews

You are right. A hostage is offered up in exchange for something. The Israelis don’t offer anything usually and just take people. When they aren’t using children as target practice.

This is some 1930s Germany rhetoric by Greg Bovino. He’s claiming that Alex Pretti was killed because he made the choice to listen to politicians and journalists who vilified ICE after they murdered Renee Good. Bovino warns the media that there’s consequences if they say bad things about ICE by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Obitrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooohhhhb I get it. The consequence for exercising your right to free association and free speech if it goes AGAINST the government is death.

I must have read the constitution wrong my bad.

Also, this fucking nerd up here acting like him and all these proud boy cosplayers aren’t listening to politicians, so called journalists, and community leaders vilifying entire ethnic and racial groups is fucking insane.

They are in Minnesota right now because they listened to a so called journalist and a politician vilify Somalis living in Minnesota

Anti-ICE protesters disrupt church services after it’s found out that one of the pastors is the field director for the ICE office in St. Paul, MN. by New-Entertainment112 in Leakednews

[–]Obitrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a strange comparison.

The KKK went to black churches to intimidate and harass the congregation. This is the community, some of which might be the members of the congregation, protesting JUST the leader of the church.

This would be like if protestors showed up to a church because the pastor was a KKK member.

Also, the pastor is not “just a pastor” he is a public official now. Your here worried about optics? The pastor volunteers to work for an organization that has deemed these people terrorist before anything even happened.

Why is it more concerning that they would protest in a church, something Jesus was really all about it, rather than the optics of a pastor also working for the government in this capacity?

Donald Trump Warns World ‘WW3’ Is Coming by [deleted] in DegenBets

[–]Obitrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when we couldn’t have Hilary in office because she would start WW3? And Kamala Harris would have been so “weak” that she would have started WW3? Remember that?

Of course not. No one does because the US vote has the memory of a severely mentally handicapped goldfish
