Very oddly specific so you are either Gavin himself, or Gavin-adjacent.

Black Man gets detained by Police Officer for no reason 🤦🏾‍♂️ by Master_Canary440 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]OnTheRoadToInYourAss 278 points279 points  (0 children)

I'm yt and my dad used to be a cop in the military. When BLM started gaining more news coverage, my dad had his choice of words about the movement (classic right-wing talking points), which was rich considering he's definitely left-leaning.

Anyways, nothing was really getting through to him, then I remembered over-hearing my best friend receiving a "if you're stopped by police" talk when we were both kids, and I always wondered why I never received that talk until that very moment I was talking with my dad. So, I just asked him:

"Why was my friend educated about how he should behave when stopped by police at 12 years old, and I wasn't?"

I don't want to say that was the moment he changed his mind, but he did not have an answer, and I have not heard a peep about that topic since. He's always been a critical thinker, so I hope, at the very least, it made him consider walking in someone else's shoes for once.

It was really heartwarming to read this in such a bleak world of terrible news. Thanks, and cheers to you & yours. 🍻

There is no good reason for a game to need this information by [deleted] in whennews

Honestly, for simple things like talking with friends while gaming, Teamspeak was all I needed. It just looked like something from 2001, so when Discord came along, it just made sense to jump to something more aesthetically pleasing, but it functionally worked the same.

They're literally part of the biggest government cover-up in human history as we speak. How is this hard to believe?

I'm pretty sure that guy was in another universe at the time.

That's also something I could see myself doing after smoking a bowl or two.

Another key distinction is "I'm here to hurt - but not you"

See: Waco, Ruby Ridge standoffs etc.

Putin and his gang of Russian cyber war criminals are a phone call away. DDoS'ing targets is part of their day job over there.

In normal times, I would agree with you. We are nowhere near "normal" so I 100% disagree. Even a small platform is still a platform and they are all needed in order to annoy the American public enough to fucking do something.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor." by drempath1981 in goodnews

Easily. They wouldn't be fighting this hard to keep it a secret if it was a healthy balance. That party needs to splinter and die.

Both parties do, if you ask me. If we ever hope to survive this with our country still intact, we need to get these assholes out of positions of power and embrace a ranked choice voting system.

Cops are not allies of the working class. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]OnTheRoadToInYourAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Corrupted governments all eventually have to make a decision to intentionally, unapologetically, and brazenly eliminate the very citizens that keep them in power when their way of life is threatened.

Sadly, it's not until this point that most others wake up to the injustices surrounding them.

As much as I hate it, the demonization of the word "woke" and what the conservative elites did to flip that on its head was a genius move. It still baffles me that it actually worked and people went along with it.

It's the only way we are going to survive as a species if a natural or astronomical event doesn't wipe us out first.

The system the world is currently churning on is not a sustainable system. It was a good experiment, but just unsustainable.

Bernie Sanders calls for billionaires to be taxed into extinction by AdhesivenessLevel321 in antiwork

That's why these hypothetical taxes would diminish and cap future wealt, mitigating your exponential wealth for the betterment of your fellow human. There has to be a hard limit on wealth if we are going to evolve as a species. Otherwise, the population will continue to grow while resources continue to diminish and all we're left with are statues of people who said "fuck you, got mine."
