- Comment on What are the democrats actually doing to help? 6 days ago:
Perhaps a better question is, “What are you doing to help?”.
Supporting a national strike, canceling Amazon, leaving FB, might be a good start. Contacting you representative who doesn’t represent you seems to be futile. Maybe flash protests? - Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 6 days ago:
Exactly! All a person has to do is to look around - the right buys up all popular media platforms and converts them to propaganda outlets.
- Comment on A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to? 1 week ago:
Probably the oligarchs. They have been trying to install fascist dictatorships for a very long time.

People will be in danger either way with the violence prone goons in power. If you are armed, there will be justification to shoot you. Protest at more public and friendly places. That way you will likely have allies nearby. Also, folks need to be situationally aware and plan an escape path if things turn too dangerous.

- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 7 months ago:
holding your nose and voting for him anyway
Funny, because Joe Biden’s policies are popular with Democrats AND Republicans. The MSM, one the other hand, seems to believe everyone wants a dictatorship so they are attacking Joe Biden for bullshit reasons. Make no mistake, the right will seize power and end your freedom.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 8 months ago:
Down-voted with deep regrets. A vote for Sanders, no matter how good he would be, is a vote to let Netanyahu “finish the job” in 2024.
The path to your goal is to vote progressives down ballot and really support them until they rise to congressional level where they can actually create change. Until then, vote for the candidate who has the best chance of winning and gets you closest to you goals. Beware, the trolls want to create division so their guy can walk right in. - Comment on The U.S. Has Declined in Quality of Life Ranking, Dropping From 16th Place to 28th According to the Social Progress Index 8 months ago:
Thanks Ronald Reagan.
- Comment on Apples to Apples 8 months ago:
Apple grafting is incredibly easy and cheap. All you need is a bit of knowledge, a utility knife, cheap flagging tape and ordinary waterproof wood glue. Planning to procure scions and watching for the bark slip is necessary - usually right around when buds start to break. My first graft was successful. Now I graft all the time. Peaches were a problem for me until I learned that they must be grafted after blossoms drop - usually later than ideal apple grafting time.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 9 months ago:
Conservatives approach things very differently. They tend to blame and make excuses whereas liberals tend to treat the problem and look for solutions in models of success. For example, little Suzie gets her hand caught in the car door. A conservatives would typically blame her or her little brother. A liberal would likely treat the injury and try to set rules to prevent it from happening again.
Another example, Donald Von ShitzInPantz wears diapers. The right hates it when they can’t weasel out of a fact so they defend it, embrace it as normal even desirable instead of accepting there is a problem. If that was Biden he would be hatefully ridiculed, (blamed) to no end by conservatives.
Conservatives assume blame, (hate) is the solution. Liberals fit a solution to the problem. There is conflict because of the way they approach a problem and blame, (hate) is the conservative solution. - Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 9 months ago:

- Comment on Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking Israel. X's AI chatbot Grok made it up. 10 months ago:
Another of Musk cutting corners to the max and endangering lives but why should he care? He is in control and that is the only thing that matters to him, even if he loses billions of dollars.

- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
prayerwalking calls on believers to wage “violent prayer” (persistently and aggressively channeling emotions of hatred and anger against Satan)
In other words first they will use words then move on to more “persuasive” methods when that doesn’t work.
