Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

  Things have not gotten better, seriously? Weird, I don’t see KKK members hanging people from trees anymore…

  Yeah…they just shoot up schools or use no knock warrants on the wrong house. Kill lads for carrying skittles or being out for a run. Sorry, the metbod has changed, that much is true.

  Why isn’t everyone just stopping work? You must have a great life, because a lot of people live pay check to pay check and are just trying to survive. Protesting by not working could make them miss rent and be on the street. Do you seriously not understand that concept?

  Yeah I have a good life, precisely because we as a work force are engaged and act as one. We also have a non shithole country where you cant just be kicked out of your home, even if its for missing rent.

  The country was basically split on the vote and there was only 2 real options. What would you have suggested people did when it came time to vote? Throw their hands up and quit

  Be engaged and demand progressive politicians, not goplite. A third of america didnt even vote. Sppit down the middle with nazis, bleh and meh.

    Jesus, so many bad faith arguments. The KKK hanging black people in trees is not even remotely related to school shootings. Jesus, you are reaching just to fit some crazy native you have in your head.

    Demand progressive politicians? Ok, cool, and now come back to reality and what do we do when we demand those politicians and no one runs or they go unheard? Just cry and complain about how doomed we are? You want this make believe option that wasn’t even a choice, and for everyone to really behind it. Wake up.

    You’re so full of hate and don’t know how to process your emotions and this is what happens. You speculate wildly and make grand statements with no idea how they would even happen.

      My comments werent to say the two were directly related, just that there are still instances of public murder in the US. I’m not at all full of hate, I just think the US is ridiculous with their passionate platitudes ( “This isnt Us”) and then they elect nazis (it absolutely is ye) and still manage to feel superior.

      The american exceptionalism has walked the population off a cliff because everyone was all too happy to be told how great they are instead of keeping up with global progress. See the below for a no exhaustive list:

      infant mortality

      Maternity leave

      Employment rights

      Incarcerated civilians

      Incarcerated non civilians

      National debt

      Average lifespan

      Number of billionaires

      Number of homeless

      …

        Well one problem would be thinking everyone in the US is the same. Not everyone voted for him, not everyone wants this.

        Yes the US has a ton of problems, yes idiots are voting against their own self interest, but that’s not what the country is comprised entirely of.
