I hope I’m wrong. But the history of the Democratic party tells me they will either half ass it or completely fail at it.
At this point I see them as a party that pretends to be resisting than actually resisting. They are either purposely distracting or completely incompetent.
I really really hope I’m wrong. We need actual legislation and not just tweets. So I’ll continue to give them the trust they deserve until they prove otherwise. I am rooting for them though. I really am.
This person has strong opinions about the population of people currently victim to a live streamed genocide their tax dollars are funding.
Well, fuck, I would sure hope so.
Sure, but one instance making something stupid doesn’t mean all or most will. The decentralizing part has its advantages and disadvantages. Not being owned by a single corporation with stock holders is definitely the main advantage.
The “social credit score” in China was blown out of proportion too. It probably changed since I last looked into it. But when that shit was all over American media it was literally the equivalent of a background check or credit score in the US. Work history, loan and credit history, etc.
Like, it’s funny how we can have essentially the same exact thing but only critize China’s version of it. Make it scary by adding “social” to the name. People ate that shit up.
Edit: to be clear I think both should be critized. Especially related to criminal history bias on race. But we spend more time talking about the Chinese version that doesn’t actually effect anyone’s lives in the US.
I just finished explaining this too lol. It won’t work for people that have a ton of different shoes they choose. Or people that wear shoes in the house (gross). But if you’re a primarily single pair shoe person that always puts shoes on as the last thing before leaving. It is THE BEST way to not forget the thing you need. Basically reduces the chance I pick it up and put it down (and forget it) down to 0.
Putting things in my shoes is my go to. I don’t wear shoes in the house so it’s always the last thing I do before going out the door. If I put the thing on the door handle I’ll just not see it. I can physically open my door without having to grab something handing from it. If they are physically in my shoes I have to actually grab the thing as the very last thing I do. So it reduces the chance I’ll set it down and forget it.
I also only ever wear one pair of shoes unless I’m going to the gym or something. So no real worry of choosing the wrong shoes.
Weird. I don’t get that. But you can definitely try other sites. One in the US if you’re in the states. Tarrifs are garbage for getting anything like this. I think even FedEx will print posters. But probably more expensive.
Important thing is making sure the image is high enough resolution for the size you want.
Talking about allies vs. people that will do nothing and watch as their neighbors are taken is not “ideological purity”. It’s just reality.
Their base is souring on Israel too. Especially the younger generation. And surprise surprise its because their base is filled with antisemites and xenophobes and they’ve spent a lifetime hearing “Israel does this for the security of the Jewish people”.
Almost like people on the left have been telling liberals and conservatives for decades that equating Israel with “all Jews” was in itself fueling antisemitism.
Edit: But you’re probably right for the “age of concent laws” part.
Just print it yourself. Tons of poster printing services online for cheap. I used PosterBurner last time and it was good. But probably others are fine. Not a promotion. Just what I used.

Can use this website to upscale the original image so it’s higher resolution.
Huggingface has all the AI photo upscale models so check out others if you don’t like the results.
Some others below.
Don’t use the “upscale your image for free” sites because they’re just garbage ads on top of these open source models.
The poster website will say what minimum resolution they need to print usually. So just scale it until you reach that. Zoom in to the photo though and make sure no weird artifacts appear. They’ll be more obvious once printed.
Good luck!
Maybe because it’s not your job to write comments that reach the most amount of people?
I’m so confused about this “blame the individual” thing around social media platforms Monopoly on user capture.
There is a reason Monopolies have to be torn apart by governments. You don’t just organically have individuals fix that by leaving the public square. You remove the censorship and capitalist dictatorship that is controlling what is seen in the public square.
You have the luxury of leaving them. It’s not your job to reach out to the most amount of people with your messages.
It’s not. Because despite the Nazis returning to Twitter after Elon bought it it is still the website used by journalist and political commentators to get their message to the most eyes. Should it be? No. But that doesn’t make it any less true.
You post on Truth social if you’re a MAGA nut. Twitter is still filled with the most people to reach out to and will be for the foreseeable future.
It’s the very reason a platform like that should not be privately owned. Hoping “the market” somehow removes its monopoly on user capture and scale is silly. And blaming people that still use it to reach the most people is even more silly. You meet the people where they are at.
You don’t put your poster in a clean hotel most people won’t see. You post it the dirty public square. That public square is owned by a Nazi capitalist though. So pointing that out and complaining about it is more than reasonable.
For journalist they can’t just “get off Twitter”. It’s become the means by which they communicate and share information with their audience and other journalist. It was this way long before Elon took over. It’s hard to undo a “public square” like that.
A lot of them post on multiple platforms. But if you want your message to reach more eyes. You still have to post on Twitter.
I really don’t have hope in Americans to do so. I hope I’m wrong.
Thank God this is the top comment here. I keep seeing these posts about him and I’m just worried all the liberals are falling for his bullshit pandering.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Well, I guess I do. AI marketing has ruined the meaning of the word to the extent that an if statement is “AI”.
Does the sun not set in the west and rise in the east? Fascism doesn’t come to the imperial core without also coming to its allies.
If Trump was the only one in them; we’d have them by now. I agree with the pressure on Trump because obviously he’s the fucking president. But I really wish this pressure existed prior to this pedophile being president. I really think until the recent media coverage about Trump anyone on the left was treated as a Qanon nutjob if they said their was more to it. (At least treated that way by mainstream media). I’m glad we are here. But I’m also sad it took so long.
Both of these quotes get attributed to Lenin but I think only the second is.
They are essentially equivalent though. Imperialism is a requirement of capitalism and the methods capitalist use to oppress the third world get turned inward on the imperial core. You will see ICE use the same methods the IDF has used in the west bank and Gaza. These were training grounds for Fascist oppression and specifically in methods of crowd control.
