Couldn’t be more proud of every one of those workers. Take back what is yours, boys!

Fuck the Panama State for, as expected, employing authoritarian violence against workers standing up to oppression from a soulless corporate entity.

Goes to show who the state really cares about. It isn’t the people.

The prison and police institution it is part of needs to be abolished.

We need a system of Rehabilitative justice. Not Punitive.

None of our institutions encourage “learning”; they are built to encourage “making the grade”. Why they need the grade and what it represents is irrelevant to students. It’s just a barrier that society has placed in front of them.

There needs to be something done about how we, as a society, approach education because whatever we are doing ain’t working. It apparently only worked at a very surface level and that was only because A.I. wasn’t available yet to be an easy out.

Nice whataboutism.

Too bad that hypothetical is statistically unlikely, as the extremely religious are predominantly pro-MAGA by an overwhelming amount, to the point it could be readily argued that, if your hypothetical was true, it would be done in spite of their religious beliefs, not because of it.

“Dead” is an adjective yes but that rule only applies if the adjective is describing that noun, but in this case it is being used as an adverb, which are usually placed after the verb unless the verb takes a noun, which in this sentence it does, making it grammatically incorrect.

The Zygon Inversion - A Transcript of The Doctor’s Speech [edited for brevity]

The Doctor: You just want cruelty to beget cruelty. You’re not superior to people who were cruel to you. You’re just a whole bunch of new cruel people. A whole bunch of new cruel people, being cruel to some other people, who’ll end up being cruel to you. The only way anyone can live in peace is if they’re prepared to forgive. Why don’t you break the cycle?

Bonnie: Why should we?

The Doctor: What is it that you actually want?

Bonnie: War.

The Doctor: Ah. And when this war is over, when – when you have the homeland free from humans, what do you think it’s going to be like? Do you know? Have you thought about it? Have you given it any consideration? Because you’re very close to getting what you want. What’s it going to be like? Paint me a picture. Are you going to live in houses? Do you want people to go to work? What’ll be holidays? Oh! Will there be music? Do you think people will be allowed to play violins? Who will make the violins? Well? Oh, You don’t actually know, do you? Because, just like every other tantruming child in history, Bonnie, you don’t actually know what you want. So, let me ask you a question about this brave new world of yours. When you’ve killed all the bad guys, and it’s all perfect and just and fair, when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going to do with the people like you? The troublemakers. How are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one?

. . .

The Doctor: This is a scale model of war. Every war ever fought right there in front of you. Because it’s always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die. You don’t know who’s children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they’re always going to have to do from the very beginning – sit down and talk! Listen to me, listen. I just – I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It’s just a fancy word for changing your mind.

Never said it would, but neither will you being a wet blanket to people who are just trying to make the best of a shit situation that they cannot affect in any materially significant way at this current moment.

And FYI, that “magical thinking”, does help bring change. A movement without hope is a movement that is doomed to fail. Look up “revolutionary optimism” and its importance for keeping up morale.

The easiest way to break an army is to break their spirits. If yours is already broken, then you are no help to anyone.

By allowing people to relieve some stress and engage in a little revolutionary optimism every now and then, even if it is far fetched and not realistic, so that people can retain their mental health and remember what it feels like to actually have hope about something in this shithole of a world we find ourselves.

You can’t change anything if you don’t have hope for a brighter future. This builds hope, even if it has to reach for it.

Not everything at every waking moment needs to be analyzed in depth. At this current moment, none of us could affect the outcome of this situation anyway, so let people fantasize.

A rich executive put the lives of others below penny pinching profits?

I’m shook. 🫩

You are welcome, prehistoric arthropod from the Cambrian period.

Look man, people just want to experience a little optimism and fantasize about good things happening in the world. We don’t care if it is realistic or not. It keeps hope alive.

Better than being a hopeless doomer about everything.

This. People don’t like it when I say the US is a Paper Tiger. uS power doesn’t come from its military strength but from its economic strength.

If pushed hard, it would crumble. The only reason the US has military bases all over is to scare those countries into submission to exploit their workforce. Yet, all those bases are fucking expensive to just maintain. If those countries resisted, then the US loses its economic strength gained from their exploitation, and its military crumbles when it cannot afford to satisfy both it’s military contracts and maintain its presence abroad.

Not to mention the internal turmoil when the citizens experience the affects on society when the oligarchy can’t subsidize the consumerist lifestyle anymore. Thought that’s happening already thanks to the imperial boomerang.

Why is this in World News? Take it to a MMA, Sports, or other sub that’s actually relevant.

You say that as if there is anything wrong with rioting against a fascist organization seeking to do harm to those in your community.

This. While those deaths were notable and tragic, they weren’t “celebrity deaths”, which pains me to even say, but it is true.

Greta is essentially an international celebrity at this point, not just some noteworthy activist. Her death would be much more noticeable throughout the modern zeitgeist than a random activist who happened to be American.

100%

She is too high profile to have around the grunts, also is a very vocal woman who isn’t afraid to upset authority. One pissed off murderer that feels slighted ends up doing something to her and that’s a mountain which can’t be made into a mole hill like they have been doing.

Considering one of the core features of being right wing is to be against welfare and aid, yes, I categorically would assume those of the right are against the delivery.

From the profile, Canadian. Oh the irony wanting to talk about the anti-indigenous practices

So, Israel provides arms and support for a budding extremist group in the hope they become the dominant faction while being loyal to the Israel cause but end up losing control after years of blatant apartheid, ending up creating their own opposition, so their idea is to do it all over again?
