AI's response to question: Is there a difference between a bully and a thug?

a bully uses power to intimidate and harm, often in a school or social setting, while a thug is typically a violent criminal associated with lawlessness and more serious crimes like robbery or assault.

THE problem is capitalism that refuses any kind of regulation or compromise that citizens want who care about quality of food, water, air, the cost of child care and higher education, housing, the list is long. Capitalism could care less about social needs only about profits. That's THE problem.

Nazis said "work shall make you free"

Trump regime: if you don't work, you not free. You are subject to the dictates of the state (you must do as you are told) or you must go to jail

This from the party that yells about freedom all day long

Sociopathic relative said when he was in his 40s: "I think if you don't work, you shouldn't eat."

Blanket statement that I'm pretty sure he wouldn't apply to rich people who don't work. What about children, the sick, the elderly who can't work because of medical conditions? They shouldn't eat?

Don't see how selfishness & hatred are self-rewarding behaviors. Empathy and love are what keep a society together. Both make our lives meaningful & worth living

Can't imagine hating to pay taxes so much that you have to poison people's minds with scapegoating and Nazism

Do they need ALL the $?

My views on foreign policy are closest to Jeffrey Sachs than others who speak publicly.

American people don't have any real sway over foreign policy of the USA.

Most people, the world over, do not want war and suffering. Peace needs to be codified and enforced worldwide.

Also wimpy, cowardly white man "anger" and "hostility" needs to be called out for the WEAKNESS that it is.

Complaining and scapegoating is for people who make excuses in life. It's counter-productive and just stupidly negative.

Stop!

Sometimes Poet @ourbestefforts.bsky.social · Sep 12

It's time white people started LOUDLY AND VOCALLY calling out racists the way that the racists have been calling out people of color for way too long.

Racists need to be mocked, made fun of, feel ashamed of being racists because as we all know racists are dumb asses

Anyone agree? Anyone on board?

Liars, especially, just don't seem to respect facts.

People who respect truth, extrapolated from facts, most often do.

Ignoring facts doesn't negate the fact that facts ARE facts.

Killing a few drug dealers doesn't destroy drug dealing.

Killing a few racists doesn't destroy racism.

Killing certain leaders can have more effect on society, but it doesn't solve problems. It perpetuates problems. It leaves problems to become worse.

Reconstruction killed with Lincoln's death.

But he wasn't upset about another WHITE-skinned person stealing another WHITE-skinned person's slot. It's only when a person of color prevents another WHITE-skinned person from having ALL the slots that matters to racists.

What's it going to take for a certain percentage of the American population to realize that FACTS MATTER? An opinion is just an opinion. An opinion is not a fact. An opinion is an interpretation. If an opinion is not based on facts, it DOESN'T MATTER. It's just noise in the wind. It's not helpful.

These 10 amendments are not protected by GUNS.

They are protected under our U.S. Constitution and its laws which are currently under assault by the Trump regime.

Guns do not help us defend our rights in our current situation. Participation in adult conversations with mature individuals does.
