If you condition your soldiers to accept the illegal acts of others, then it is psychologically easier for them to conduct illegal themselves.

Senators look in the mirror and see a future president. They might not have spines, but the size of their ego let’s them stand.

Who gets to say what is illegal or immoral though? Seems denying an illegal genocide has it’s consequences.

That’s funny from a guy who just got appointed to a made up job in a made up department.

A serial philanderer definitely knows what it means and probably encouraged this story.

Hey fun fact, the Kennedy family made their fortune from the first great depression.

In this case I think it was also to get her to shut up about Matt Gaetz.

They could have moved to Canada or Europe with their level of privilege, but they bent the knee instead. It’s a matter of keeping that privilege for them.

Good. Do things like this at every chance. Normalcy is for loosers that this point.

The consultants running the campaign measure success in dollars raised. That means they only messaged those politically engaged.

Look, I’m not asking them to fall in their swords. I’m just asking that they don’t fly out to Maro Lago to say he’s normal actually.

These were the guys that told Biden not to step out of the race. These people also claimed Trump was fascist at one point. What changed? Did they ever have spines?

Fred Hampton spent more time building coalitions then he did calling his own cowardly.

How do we gum up the works?

Those of us who are terminally online should definitely checking sources, but I don’t think that is practical for those working two shifts and taking care of a family.

How do you address the material conditions of people who reject addressing the material conditions if it also helps someone who isn’t them.

I think the sort of help you’re talking about is of political policy (ie free lunches at schools). I am speaking of direct action by volunteers (ie running a community pantry). When you engage in the community, conversations happen and that is when you can challenge biases in a non-confrontational setting.

If you cannot find solidarity in the masses then what is it you’re looking for? A Vanguard party to reeducate the masses?

only way to fix the media is to fix the voters.

This narrative serves the capitalist class and cannot be proven. You don’t “fix” voters, you create solidarity by dealing with their material conditions (engage in mutual aid).

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.

We can blame voters or fix our media landscape. You can do both, but we need to do the latter to have a functioning democracy.
