a medical or surgical grade mask for the purpose of preventing the spread of contagious disease,
OK cool that's why people wear masks so doesn't that nullify the entire bill? Making the entire bill pointless and toothless anyway?
Before covid I wore bandannas at protests to hide my face. After covid I've worn respirators at protests to prevent a disabling disease from spreading to or from me.
stanning a rich powerful white failson is never not cringe. I've been assuming every single person who does so is at near lethal levels of irony-poisoning.
Remember when reddit comment sections were generally reasonable and intelligent?
Nobody who thinks this was ever true can be taken seriously
First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

God fucking dammit what an idiot. :( tysm for letting me know i'll go nuke that account. I assume at that point when I have a new account I should not follow anyone on Kolektiva either
Thank you comrade!
I love your name.
I'm not terminally online enough to understand anything about what your comment means. Can you please explain for me?
All hotdogs are disgusting
If it's for the military then it's not "good" money, it's evil money and he's selling his soul to buy himself a spot in Hell. Saying this as someone with a background in engineering, I consider those who engineer the weapons of war complicit in murder and genocide.
I never like video essays but the information and presentation are excellent in this one. Orientalist music can sound nice but then if you listen to the real deal orientalist music ends up sounding like a toddler plinking away on a plastic toy keyboard.
Last I checked that was dangerpus for peoples kidneys right?
It is an expression of pain
