Agreed except that’s definitely not the only way into the system.

It’s just the only way to have implicit trust from most while on the inside. That’s because (deep breath) who in their right mind would forfeit their birthright to save their lessers?

Of course I’d like to think I would but will never know. In history, however, we can see that there are always a few individuals who do precisely that.

Also one way to fix it from the inside goes kaboom.

Oh my b, I didn’t realize spoilers messed up pictures. Here’s the pic:

Oh. Yeah I didn’t stand a chance. Thank you!

Know thyself. The cancer of fascism is fed by fear of people, which is used to acquire and consolidate power, and spread more fear.

The fact that you already associate crime and terrorism with immigrants means that the cancer is already growing within you.

We’ve been using queer inclusive of trans. Is there a reason not to?

Used to then found them. Real version is more complex but definitely real and good. Worth sticking around for.

I think it’s a good idea, trying to find them. Just be aware that pursuing the new dream often entails giving up many that came before, then growing from scratch many new parts of your self, which is often difficult and painful.

Sorry, I’m bad with celebrity faces. Who?

My odor is absolutely authentic. It’s basic exocrinology. Simply don’t smell me and don’t comment on my smell if you don’t like it.

Edit: sorry thought this was a different community.

It’s cute that you think [positive] … Frankly, I expect [negative] … and nothing will be done about it.

You may have intended a sardonic or exasperated tone, rather than defeatism, in which case I was too harsh.

Even so, we must be cognizant of how easy it is to inadvertently amplify cynicism and despair. Some have little fight left and might just stay home when they are needed most.

Yeah I was being somewhat cheeky. But it is true in one sense, because we’ve entered a new chapter and everything has changed.

Now it is clear that the only thing that will mobilize the American working class to overthrow a fascist regime (and the 0.1% class they serve) is a rock-solid, revolutionary promise of extensive socialist economic reform, broad democratic electoral reform, and an explosion of public works that would make FDR blush.

There is no going back. Status quo politics died on November 5th, 2024. That era is gone. No more “moderate“ republicans. No more “Liberal” democrats. GOP now can only elect trump cronies. Dems now will struggle to elect anyone but progressives.

As to who leads the charge, I think it will be AOC, because Bernie is setting up an alley-oop and she is the only one among them with the energy and chutzpah to slam dunk a national bash-the-fash campaign.

Suffering winds the spring of reform.

If at first you don’t fricassee, fry, fry a hen.

Bolshevising the nation

But that requires one generation teaching defeat to the next. Kind of like you’re doing now.

Like to see him try in this city. New Yorkers are always spoiling for that kind of fight, and their beef with trump goes a long way back.

Stow that shit. If you’ve given up, fine. But don’t take others with you.

I often see it between common names, which makes me think they might just be trying to differentiate.
