I sure hope this asshole doesn’t have the leopards come for them. Mostly because I don’t want vulnerable people who this guy throws under the bus to be harmed.
Because I’m not a raging narcissist who can only think of themselves.
It is baffling to me how someone can say people who live in a state are to blame for their situation when at least 40% of voters vote against fascists. It is like seeing 60 cents on the table and insisting it is a dollar.
Hey asshole, I said that me and my wife vote every election even though it causes her immense pain.
So now I’m too lazy to leave my home? Read a couple posts up asshole. My wife is completely bed bound. We can’t even leave the house. Have some goddamned humility for once.
Most people in red states are being abused by our governments. It isn’t our fault and assholes like you who think that are bad people.
“Lived” unless you are dead it sure sounds like this advice is from someone outside.
No, I’m complaining about assholes who don’t live in red states blaming the victims of republican governance. There has been a systematic disenfranchisement of vast swaths of the American electorate. Telling the victims of that that we just need to vote harder is asinine.
What we need is solidarity from outside, not sniveling bullshit advice.
Edit: also, fuck off. I live maybe the hardest life of anyone I know. Taking care of my extremely ill, bed bound wife for ten years. I still make it to every fucking election and my wife still votes, even though it causes her unbelievable pain. But even with all our motivation I can’t throw off the yoke of my oppressor because voting in a rigged system is fucked. It is so fucking infuriating to listen to people like you condescend.
And you don’t think that suppression has anything to do with why Republican fascists win? Telling us to vote harder… smh.
I would make the comparison to the monopolized railroad instead of selling shovels. There is Vanderbilt level moneys in setting up a transport network that only you control and rent seek from.
As someone from a deep red state, thanks for the advice. I didn’t realize it was so easy to get around gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the like. I’m glad you showed me the light!
Startide Rising is really good. The only Brin book I like better is The Postman.
I think you are misunderstanding Christian nationalists. They don’t believe in anything remotely like what Christ taught. They believe in white supremacy, misogyny, and greed. Trump ticks all the right boxes for them.
I’d say the officers and politicians. Nazi officers and politicians are bad people. Slaver officers and politicians are evil people. Those power structures needed to be destroyed and the alive people propagated evil systems. You are the one doing the whole slippery slope bullshit.
Without the officer class of the confederates we wouldn’t have had the KKK or Jim Crow. The lands that the enslaved folk worked should have been given to the people who worked the lands.
Jin’s uncle, the dude who lead his army into the the teeth of the Mongols instead of being strategic. I hated that plot. Like fuck your “honor” when you choose it over protecting the people you were supposed to.
