Simply exempt small homes. For instance, those with less than 1,600 square feet or so.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
Yes, but do you support those who have pollution spewing private jets like Amazon and Meta, to name just a few? Do you support candidates who will take necessary actions against climate change? Do you grow a garden and cut firewood?
Half the population could cease to exist without much effect but if a few thousand of the one percent ceased to exist it would make a massive impact. - Comment on Made Ya Look... 1 week ago:

I have gardened without gas, fertilizer or pesticides for years.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 week ago:
When I drive in deer country, especially at night, I will always slow up when encountering a tailgater because I might have to brake hard for an animal and don’t want to hit a deer AND/OR get rear ended - going slower means they will at least hit me less hard. They can go around if they don’t like my speed. Also, statistics show that drivers that stay well behind other vehicles have far fewer accidents. Finally, traffic tends to travel at the speed of the slowest drivers on the road, so they gain little on our curvy, hilly two lane roads.

Fascist world history, aka, Republican party history. Seems their failed fascist “Business plot” was skipped over in school history books.

You mean, weaponized.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 weeks ago:
The goal is to get those “young men” out there in the job market struggling to make ends meet day after day so their boss can buy his second vacation home and new yacht. In the meantime Republicans will point to some group or minority as the cause of their woes. It’s a win, win for them.

A cashless society means your overlords will have COMPLETE control of your lives. Of course the oligarchs will have secret avenues of cash for themselves.

Seriously, if you are AWARE of propaganda, you are also aware that you have been influenced by it. Propaganda is pervasive in civilizations. It is simply manipulation. TV ads and guys trying to pick up chicks are everyday uses of propaganda.

As if the far right folks will buy an electric car and Elon burned the bridges for buyers on the left.
- Comment on Orange flavored recession is superior to the DeMoNCRaTs!!!1!1!! 3 months ago:
Of course Republicans have switched to a narrative that says things need to be shaken up to set the country on the right course.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 3 months ago:
I don’t miss the thousands of obnoxious, foul mouthed folks on FB that I routinely blocked. Haven’t experienced any of that on the fediverse yet.
- Comment on You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW 3 months ago:
In reality many people who were boomers lived in shacks, some with no plumbing and dirt floors, until the 60’s when liberal economics began to fully kick in. Reagan, and Republicans have schemed very hard to bring back those "good old days’. Try reading some actual history of that time. Bonus, if you actually talk to a boomer who lived through hard times.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 3 months ago:
“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” - Carl Schurz:
It’s our civic duty to make our country better.
Some people may need to move because because they aren’t safe here right now.
Some people need to be removed, one way or another.

Add mass murderers, insurrectionist militias and extortionists to the serial killer list that are being sidelined for car vandals and immigrants.
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 4 months ago:
I stopped buying on Amazon Jan 20. I will cancel Amazon Prime today. Many people will also stop buying and many people will cancel Prime. When they stop buying for a week, they tend to find alternatives that they stick with. I was buying several hundred dollars worth of merch but have found better alternatives. I will not go back. Seven days is just a start. Amazon is noticing.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 months ago:
the DNC is the last place to find actual conservatives these days.
There is a good reason for this. Money to win elections comes from CONSERVATIVE corporations and populism isn’t on their wish list.

Nearly $3 billion USD flowed through the TRUMP cryptocoin
But wait, there’s more. Us taxpayer money will now be used to “invest” in these crypto scams.

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 4 months 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.

Probably the oligarchs. They have been trying to install fascist dictatorships for a very long time.
