There's no doubt in my mind that if I end up homeless on the back of some billionaire getting richer, I'm on a fuckin hunt.
Bring me to jail, what, you think I don't want that piece of dick cheese dead AND a roof over my head? Don't tempt me with a good time.
Politicians but especially rich people seem to forget that when we have nothing to lose, that's when revolutions happen.
JFK's quote has been ringing in my head since all this has happened: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
These assholes have stacked our government against us. Sure we have some good eggs but the level of progress especially in the last 20 years has slowed to a crawl.
UHC shooter is the beginning.
Remember: the 1% made the rules.
Fun fact; I caught a 30 day ban once off /r/politics for a comment that was explicitly that quote by JFK, attributed to him. "Promoting violence."
If that's promoting violence then so is saying "Happy Independence Day."
The fuck are you still doing on reddit?!
I haven't looked back since I left and absolutely enjoy Lemmy.
"Don't half ass two things. Whole ass one thing."
reddit sucks but lemmy barely exists. I run out of things to scroll here really fast.
You're on lemmy.world, which defederates faster than other instances.
I left .world a while back. Even with NSFW turned off I still have good content.
I have 6-hour top as my default sort.
I just left lemmy.world yesterday and I was blown away by the massive amount if content coming from instances I wasn't seeing before.
I don't agree with having someone running my instance telling me I'm not allowed to see what people are posting. I can determine that for myself, thanks.
Lmao I should've said this happened 4 years ago.
Fuck that place.
I got banned for far dumber reasons, so yeah, I belive this 100%. Reddit is a cesspool, and /r/politics is one is the worst examples of propaganda out there. They silence people that voice opinions they don't like on bogus charges every day.
Echos of an Arab spring perhaps?
Just don't expect it to be organized on Twitter this time.
Amen.
