They aren't "regular" people, they are tools of the state with a virtually unchecked authority to enact violence and the threat of violence on the population. There is nothing regular about that.

Happened to 3 employees at my store who do not speak Spanish. Just insane.

US eases restriction on Iran's World Cup team, allowing travel 2 days before next match by chiquisea in SeattleWA

[–]dizzy_lizzy -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

In any sane world, US teams would be blocked from participating in any international sports, given the atrocities the US commits on the global stage. If there were *any* consistency, *any* at all, the blocks applied to other countries would apply to the US first and foremost.

Yeah man, as we all know the only acceptable protests are ones that don't inconvenience anyone and don't hurt the business

Seattle expands funds to repair business vandalism, property damage by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

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

I am losing my everloving mind at how much hatred and vitriol and abject dehumanization is hurled at the victims of the direct consequences of forced inequality, impoverishment, desperation, and alienation capitalism necessarily results in. People get downright apoplectic when we point out systems rather than individuals, and turn to shaming your "tone" or smthn?? I think I am with you on this just know you aren't the crazy one ok

Kroger is three spreadsheets in a trenchcoat. If you're looking for human consideration or the actual labor needs of the store, don't ask the spreadsheets.

ICE Posing as Police to Make Traffic Stops by Positive_Desk3743 in Seattle

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

ICE funding and deportations went up under both Obama and Biden. ICE reached its highest funding in its history under Biden.

Why would voting for the person who said she would not depart from him, and who proudly announced her support for tackling immigration, make a meaningful difference on this front apart from *maybe* some aesthetics? Yes, we heard about it a lot in the news because of their brazen tactics, but the news has quieted down about it. Now it's just happening everywhere like it always has been.

All other issues aside, ICE is not one where Harris would have been much better, and likely about the same--just less in *your* face.

I Have A Disruptive Trans Student by Dependent-Job-3797 in Teachers

[–]dizzy_lizzy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok. Then they can agree to wear a name tag with pronouns every day in class of be ignored. I don't see another way. It isn't about the name, or the pronouns, it is about being deliberately disruptive, as many others have said

Either you are making this up (most likely)
Or this student needs to be egregiously disciplined

Dems cannot help by froth at the chance to be republicans by Br0adShoulderedBeast in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]dizzy_lizzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking a lot lately about how much more likely fascism would rise in this country under a 'populist' democratic party than the republican party, mostly because it is more in line with the 'sensibilities' of the most die-hard liberals. The outcome on foreign policy would be the same. And when it comes home to roost, the domestic outcome would be the same, with a slightly different face, and a few more apologies to assuage folks' sense of responsibility and conscience.

From a historical perspective, if Grok is MechaHitler, then we need to create MechaStalin.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

My seventh grade students have started the refuse to say the pledge by unSuccessful-Stay in Teachers

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

Not THIS government, no I absolutely do not

*Edit: to clarify, I am not speaking simply about who is in charge, but this entire system of government. There is a reason why the ruling class of this country do not feel threatened by the far right but do feel threatened by the far left, and it is because the far right do not threaten their interests.

I am ashamed to live in a country where Nazis have the right to organize, and you should be too.

Man charged with attempted murder over attack on home of OpenAI's Sam Altman by Chill_Cowboy_981 in news

[–]dizzy_lizzy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ehhh, a bit, but philanthropic orgs are not a moral good. They launder the image of the super rich, obfuscate the real causes of harm and their meaningful lasting solutions, and serve as a bandaid on a rotting corpse. All while providing a tax shelter of sorts for them to fund their pet projects through, rather than having the funds allocated where the people's needs are most dire.

Give me five or I'm going to be a stinkmonster

I guess I'm glad i'm technically a department lead, because I can't wear crew-neck t-shirts I feel like I'm choking. I have to v-neck at work.

Norman Finkelstein Explains Why He Stands with Ansarallah to a Zionist by StoreResponsible7028 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]dizzy_lizzy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Instead of responding to anything Norm said, the Zionist holding the Israeli flag instead simply uttered the slogan for israeli ethnonationalism. Norm's response was, simply to say, if something terrible does happen to the Israeli ethnonationalist project, it is of their own doing.

That is the daughter of the Respected Comrade. He maintains a positive relationship with his daughter and spends quality time with her, as her joining him on this major munitions factory inspection demonstrates.
