She never said she struggled

Shes likely not renting as the CEO

She also says it in past tense

I dont know what her life was like before hand

Said the person complaining that someone pointed out that its getting to expensive to live and that avocado toast isnt the issue

Yeah, I kind of laughed at that. I wouldnt be surpised if even older movies cost a bit more now. But even renting a new movie is way too expensive now.

Its not as bad as, say, TikTok on most subs. Like comments that can get deleted on there just need to contain words like ewww. Or silly goose.

But it is moving in that direction. Like you can report someone for being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Nothing will happen most of the time.

But call them a dumb fuck and suddenly youre harassing them.

Makes sense now that you mention it. Like if I’m old and just gonna retire myself, might as well do one last good thing in the world.

Ive been thinking that for a the last few years. When I get to be too tired to work, Im just gonna get a gun and a bullet. I dont want to be doing physical labor at 70. Im almsot 36 and Im already getting tired. So if thats it, then thats it.

On one hand, I get this

On the other hand, people have been playing this game ever since Trump was first elected and everyone keeps being shown to be right about them as they go down Hitlers playbook.

One of the groups that got rounded up were people who had things such as autism.

The people who think less of those with autism and who think it destroys people and their families are now creating a database of all autistic people

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst

I think its important and great to plan ahead. Especially in times like this. And Im hoping they give us someone people will vote for this time. Because holy shit, almost anyone is better than this

But also Im not holding my breath. Im honestly not even sure if I’ll be in a camp or not. But either way even if we do have elections it will likely be in the same sense that Russia has elections.

This better not be like the time he said he was gonna step down from running Twitter and then he didnt. He better follow through on his promise. And take his tech bros trying to shut everything down with him.

It seems simple enough to me

Hate the syatem

But also recognize that syatem exists

Work both in and out of the system to change things.

Or we just let the people who ratchet to the right keep power so they can keep ratcheting to the right and then wonder why it keeps happening

I stopped at pro-trans rights with one exception, because even thats not true. You cant even lie properly.

Or

Here me out

Its more like a trolly problem

But the difference is the one is going to die

You didnt stop it by not voting

We arent going to stop Israel either way

But

On one side you have more death.

“You only care about your community.”

Im not Hispanic. I voted to try to keep this from happening to them.

Im not black. Theyre gonna ramp up slavery. I voted to at least help stop the Republicans from doing that

Women are going to due even more fron lack of Healthcare. Its not going to be states anymore. Its going to be federal.

Im not on Medicare or medicade. If those go, thats millions more…

Food stamps. People are gonna starve

Social Security. When people are too old to work but can’t afford rent, even more deaths

Farmers. Did you know that the last time Trump was president and they had to bail out farmers with our tax dollars, that money mostly went to corporate farms who then used that money to buy the land from farmers who were losing their farms and that this leads to hundreds if not thousands of farmers commiting suicide?

Do I love the democrats? No. Despite the no true Scotsman arguments, I dont like capitalism. Im pretty fucking against it.

But its amazing how many people are telling me Im only for my group. All of these groups are even more fucked than before.

Harm. Reduction.

I dont like meth or heroine. Ive seen the damage it does to people. Ive lost friends to it. But I also realize that just making it illegal has done nothing. Instead we need to take steps to help whole get off it. We need to do things like legalize it.

“So you love it!”

No. You legalize it, but then you also get places for people to get help. You dont just lock them up in prison and then set them free years later.

Voting isnt the only step. Its one step. Its harm reduction. It took me 1 out of 1,461 days to vote. That still leaves 1,460 days to do anything and everything else.

If dems stop progress but they arent the ones ratcheting, then a good step is to get rid of the ones ratcheting.

Its not the final step. Its a step.

You reduce the harm being done as you work for the final goal

But sure. Lets say I only care about my community and I votes to help only save us

That means you dont.

You dont care about any of these groups.

Wait, let me guess: youre gonna help save them in the revolution

After millions are dead

Are you getting prepared? Have you been practicing at the range? Are you in a militia? Are you ready to kill? Cause the 4th reich is here. Theres not really many other options. Especially if they make protesting illegal like the Republicans said. Trump said hes going after home grown next. You go to a protest in another year and you will likely be in the camps.

Or is the revolution like the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ where we just hear about it? Cause if you wont even try to just slow it down with 1 day, then how can I trust you with the rest?

When you see us begging people to vote to help save all of us and you talk shit, how am I supposed to beleive you wont talk shit as we get rounded up?

Its hard to fight for Palestine when I have to worry about the fact that my trans brothers and sisters are losing their passports, meaning they wont even be able to leave the country.

Which part?

The part about both sides? Well if both sides arent the same then maybe we should do harm reduction, which is a term I tend to hear more so in leftist spaces, and go with the dems.

It will probably get through as me and my friends are in camps thinking that at least this would have happened with Harris anyways. Im sure she was all about getting rid of due process and shipping citizens to El Salvador.

But its cool. You guys are gonna have that revolution any day now. I hear theres all sorts of plans already.

Edit: In fact, lets just go back to the image

Dems block going left

Repubs ratchet to the right

So when the republicans dont have power, do the dems do it for them? I mean I know they dont do enough to stop them. No disagreements. But if we never elected a republican in office again, and they never had either of the 3 branches, and they didnt control any state, we would still be going right.

Im not asking would they still block us going left

But do you think we would stop progressing as a country?

Cause going through hundreds of years, theres actual quite a few things we actually have progressed with. Like look at us in the queer community. When I was graduating high school in 08, I thought we were still so much further out from same sex marriage. And then once people focused on trans people, I thought we were still even further out from the dems helping them.

But yet over time they did move forward. Dont Ask Dont Tell was still dog shit. But it was something. Then it became queer people were allowed in. Period.

So even just in my life and my community I have seen progress. Its slow. It is. Its painfully slow. But its progress

So if we never had republicans in power we would suddenly stop that? Am I wrong about my community slowly becoming more and more accepted over the decades?

Or does me just knowing my communities history and celebrating where we have gotten make me a liberal?

Its OK if the point went over your head

And yet many of us leftists are still calling you out. If anyone needs any more evidence of this, look up who voted for her the most. Black people, particularly black women, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ+ community. Now, who wants to guess which groups have been the loudest voices against capitalism in the US? Who has been the most politically active?

Its generally been us in the communities who are going to die.

But if these communities tend to be liberals then I will gladly be a communist liberal.

I would still take blocking progress to the left over concentration camps every time

So yeah, if you think bith sides are the same, then I guess it doesnt matter who won. We probably would be here with tarrifs and camps and a dictatorship, but just with Harris.
