the degree to which i feel like i am living in the pre-title montage of a post-apocalyptic movie cannot be overstated.

But that’s just it. Too many people don’t want to help others. Our racism as a country is so ingrained that we could all have healthcare but some people just don’t want to support others they see as “less than”.

💯 At least in some countries it’s called “ecological”, as in good for the environment.

She was bought and paid for to serve a mission, to destroy our media. And that mission is best served by incompetence and subservient behavior. And she sadly thinks she has won here. One never wins when they have a master.

Here’s what every woman knows and what many American women are compartmentalizing:

Men will do 10% of whatever they want to do to you in front of others. This is why the cardinal rule is to never be caught alone.

Now apply this to what you’ve seen ICE do to women while you’re watching.

Science geek here. Bangs head on table and then screams into the void, “Organic by definition means something with carbon in it! Which means that H2O (2 hydrogens one oxygen) can never be organic!” Steps off soap box.

I got the sense from reading it that this person isn’t, in fact, a beer drinker. Or doesn’t spend much time in breweries. I do, and there are so few beers that are 10% that his claim is laughable in its exaggeration. And there are so many pilsners and lagers, martens, stouts, red ales these days.

💯 And it has always been thus. Those who have broken through are the exception not the rule.

the more i think about it, bari weiss running CBS is direct proof there’s not really a meritocracy in any real way under capitalism. the opposite is true in this system, failing upwards is the default the more a country becomes an oligarchy

This is incorrect framing and totally reflects the problem the press is involved in. Because it wasn’t ever about crime. It was about asserting power and creating terror in the population. Anything less than that at this point is disingenuous.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

What these guys miss is that even the most strong feminists among us just want to feel safe. We want a partner as well as the guy who will slay the tiger outside our tent. Self-pity detracts from that, and we know all too well that self pity will become violent toward us.

Who in the world gains when the US military is weakened and not fulfilling their duties to protect us and our interests from enemies abroad? None of this is about protecting Americans and its high time people wake up to that fact.

One of the only welcome things about this current period in the U.S. is that the "this is not who WE are" stuff might finally be over.

The key to understanding him is that he wants people to lose trust in institutions, whether that be the CDC, the Federal Reserve, anything that is seen as qualified and authoritative in its positions. He wants people to not know who to believe so that he can be the ultimate harbinger of truth.
