Yes I can enlighten you. When the Democrats do it, they do it quietly and don't brag about it. This kind of killing of Black & brown people is preferred over the loud and proud style of Trump. If it happens quietly, liberals and Democrats can pretend it's not happening & carefree enjoy brunch.

Can anyone point to a single material gain achieved by these protests?

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

I have a lot of issues with the Matrix franchise, but one thing they did get right: Everyone who is dependent on the system is, in practical terms, an enemy until they are broken free of their dependence.

Company that has an HR department, but HR stands for Heavy Rock, which they hit you in the head with.

Sorry, but the rent has to go up because of the rent fairy and the waxing moon and some bad copper ingots and you didn’t leave enough dirt under your pillow for the dirt man.

trying to explain the feeling in my brain as OpenAI and Grok both announce their GenAI tools are opening up to porn generation while anyone who so much as draws a boob is nuked with an orbital laser

oh wow okay this company is IN TROUBLE in trouble

Ah, so that "Future of AI in Canada" survey was just a fig leaf after all

Your optimism for democratic socialists that run as democrats should always be tempered by this reality.

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc

It’s like how capitalists, no matter how well meaning, need to increase profit

No. Fuck that. This is stupid. The only people that want this are the people who are already in their own tech circle who are going far beyond huffing each others farts and now just shitting in each other's buttholes.

STOP PROJECTING. PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THIS TRASH, YOU STUPID FUCKS
