It’s because they think it’s for the greater good and that their sacrifice is for the good of this country. They probably feel like heroes. It’s a fucking cult and they are brainwashed. All the while a bunch of power hungry sociopaths tell them who to hate and whose fault it all is so they won’t see that they are being taken advantage of.

If you look up interviews of people that used to be neo-nazis they legitimately thought they were saving the world. The people they were following convinced them that the reason people don’t like them is because they were trying to hurt them and the only solution was to hurt them first.

Neat

You’re scared? However scared you are is nothing compared to the people you are supposed to be representing. And if they can start making a stand against this you have no fucking excuse for your inaction.

I mean if they are gonna get rid of all the safety regulations, they should lead by example. I’m MSHA and OSHA certified and lemme tell ya, those regulations are there for a very good reason.

So eugenics applies to coal miners who want safe working conditions?

Oh yeah, definitely. I just want her to be safe but also not back down even a little bit. She’s making waves and needs to continue to do so.

I don’t think she should be careful. If anything, being as loud as possible and staying in the public eye is what all Democrats should be doing. Because if they do start deporting people that actually speak the truth everyone will know when and how it happens. You can’t hide it and they can’t effectively make a move against her that won’t be seen by the entire world. And I think it’s a sign that we all need to start doing this. If we’re loud and seen instead of raging behind our phone screens it’s a lot harder for people to just disappear.

And regardless of whether or not they succeed, humanity will carry on. I’m not saying this as a means to be complacent and to just let it happen, more that whatever damage they do will be nothing in comparison to the span of decades and centuries. And if we all go back to the stone age or make it out and go head first into the next age, future historians will look back on this time period as either the time the rich tech companies took over the world or another group of dipshits tried to take over the world again. And I don’t know about you but I’d rather have this shit be a single page in the history books. And if history has taught us anything, they will fail eventually. Whether it’s next Tuesday or in 40 years, they always fail in the end. I just hope it’s sooner rather than later so we don’t make thousands of innocent people suffer or die just so cowards can feel good about themselves.

I guess I’ll piggyback on the other comment and say laziness doesn’t exist at work. People definitely have off days or hate their job, but I’d say pretty much all the “laziness” I have experienced in my life at different jobs usually boils down to awful work conditions, managers or bosses that don’t care about you, not getting paid enough for the actual work, or general distain for your corporate overlords if you work for a big company. Some may call me lazy, but I’m working exactly as hard as I feel like they deserve when I’m 30 years old and still living in a studio apartment one paycheck away from being homeless. And I’m not gonna work at 100% when 100% of my needs are not being met. And I make more than anyone else in my family so I’m technically the “successful child.”

I mean, banning video games completely is part of Project 2025 and they’ve so far been pretty much following that to the tee.

I guess a power grab doesn’t work out as well as you want when you put the most selfish people around into positions of power. I know I’m being optimistic, but I hope they keep getting mad at each other.

And it’s not an excuse to get complacent either. We need to keep the momentum with protesting.

Neat

But I thought we crashed the market in order to bring manufacturing back to the US? It must be hard to be a republican supporter. Every day there’s a new meta you gotta follow like League of Legends.

It’s what I had left after I sold almost all I had, so it was kinda the dregs anyway. I wasn’t expecting much but 40% kinda took me by surprise.

Less than five years ago I feel like I remember trump blaming the Jews for everything.

If it’s about child abuse why are they spending so much effort going after the abused? Trans youth turn into trans adults and they are trying to invalidate their existence. Also, this whole thing is rich coming from one of Epstein’s best friends.

Now it is, but 3 months ago when I got the paperwork to do it was not. My procrastination saved me some money.

Can’t wait until they decide to change the keywords and triggers for what gives them a ping on their system. Probably the exact list they are using to remove certain terms from their databases.

Well they need to speak up. If you work for one of these companies or even Twitter, it’s not like they wont find any reason to fire you these days anyway. I understand that self preservation is a big part of it and I wish people could say what they want without risk of losing their livelihood. But at the same time fear is exactly why we are in this situation. Fear of your boss, fear of the government, fear of being deported, fear because of your identity, fear of your republican neighbors… Fear is the point. Without it they wouldn’t be able to do half the shit they are doing. If we keep being fearful they will take everything we have.

My portfolio is down 40% since January. I’m just glad I took most of it out before it got too bad so I’ve only lost about $1,000. I was about to open a retirement account too but decided against it when things started tanking and I’m glad that I didn’t.
