Or even make the people who borrowed the money actually pay it back, or go bankrupt, like we would have to, billionaires be like, too broke, can’t pay, meh, excuse me while I holiday on my fourth favourite yacht at my own private island.

This is a huge strawman argument I see quite frequently. I agree change happens with force, but without collective action, one person burning down a warehouse might have effect, but how much? Wouldn’t it be better to plan, gather together and act collectively? Why does this argument that you have to prove your metal and burn something down, alone or you just aren’t hard core enough and therefore a fake, come up so much? All it does is detract and dismis from the important points. Do you really feel like the answer is all people who feel they’re “real” leftists, should go do some severe property damage and then bam, everything solved? I’m doing the same thing, by even asking you, but I see it so often. I don’t see that as the answer at all, I don’t see how that helps, but you do, I’m genuinely curious what you see as a result of burning down an amazon warehouse, and therefore proving “leftism”, what changes do you feel that makes? They just get to sit in jail and wear a badge of honour they know about? Or do you see actual change occurring from these actions?

Think of both versions of yourself, in the future. How are you going to feel if it comes to it that you can do the things you wanted, (Linux to ps5) and you’ve updated so you can’t. Is that going to sit in your head in a destructive way, is it going to run around your head on repeat just smashing up the place. Or do you think you can help yourself through that disappointment easily? Because if that’s going to haunt you too hard, don’t do it.

It sounds like you want to update to play, it sounds like that’s a very important thing for you right now. But It also sounds like you would like the freedom it will afford you, having full ownership and flexibility of your own devices.

The question is how long do you have to wait and is it worth the wait.

I think they’ll definitely work this out and soon. These big companies have pissed people off to the degree they’re pissing in your face, kinda pissed off. There’s no coming back from that level of anger at their behaviour, and there are some brilliant people who turn that anger into action, it’s going to happen and these people are going to guide us through and be a huge part of how we defeat the big corps. It will happen, but it might take a while (maybe a year or 6 months) and it’s going to be glitchy.

There is no right decision. The right decision is the one you make, and whichever one you do choose will come with difficulties that you have to help yourself work through.

It’s worth waiting, but it’s also worth living your life.

I suppose my only suggestion might be can you find a new hobby till the dam breaks?

Every time someone says “this is America” I hear it in Childish Gambino.

Something (app whatever) that divines the “evil” in all the things I need to buy, for me, without me having to do research on who has sold out, who is supporting killing babies, who is killing the rainforests, who is using child slave labour to extract their products etc etc. It’s fucking exhausting and monotonous, you can’t just check once, you gotta click refresh every bloody day. It’s doing my head in. I just want to buy stuff that I can eat etc, that isn’t tainted in others blood. Fuck this timeline, I can’t wait till it corrects itself, shit gunna be glorious. I’ll be there with some ethically sourced popcorn and a Molotov.

I don’t even know if I’m attracted to this guy, but I swear he somehow gets infinitely hotter, every day.

Women are excluded from medical studies and even medicines designed for women are trialed on men, anyway, so I would argue it wouldn’t make a difference medically, anyway.

They will try and pass the fallout onto the people, similarly to how they did in 2008, with the mortgages being used to hedge their stock market bets (bad ones at that) after regulations were removed to safeguard that from happening and people lost their homes, the banks got bailed out. The people responsible got no punishment. They do this same shit all the time. They shoot too high hoping it’ll catch on, and if it doesn’t they don’t pay the price. This time, we need to stand with whomever wears the cost and make sure the richest are the ones who pay. The ones responsible for this. They all go under, or we take them down.

Eta, this article is bullshit tho

Literally everyone is susceptible to propaganda. Mostly all the old philosophers agree on one thing, you should be able to put down, entirely, everything you believe, so as to test you haven’t fallen for propaganda. Even those dudes fell for propaganda and realised they needed to continually self check.

The fact people are still thinking that abortion and birth control is "killing children " makes it vital we ridicule it in exactly this way. If we hush hush about it we give them the power.

I want to download this and stick it on my wall

Apparently lemon juice is supposed to help, it has the enzyme you’re missing to help break down the lactose, I have no idea, I haven’t tried it, nor researched it, I may be sending you on a wild goose chase, or a wild poop chase, as the case may be…

Why does everyone have to die, just because a handful of evil villains have taken over, tho. Surely an omnipresent god can do direct targeting… some well aimed lighting bolts should do it, yeah? Maybe the pre Christian version of the Christian god, Odin will be more helpful to call on?

Her mouth is uncanny af, and she blinks wrong.
