Please don’t call that shitty compromise public healthcare. The ACA is a giveaway to private health insurers. It is the furthest thing from public healthcare and calling it that is only going to make more people shy away from the idea.

You’re correct. It’s a good thing that no bad outcomes have ever come from prioritizing short term gains over long term stability or that might be a bad take.

He’s persuasive to idiots. That’s not the same thing as charismatic

Yes it is. We shouldn’t be pandering to people (or excusing the panderers) who want to censor us.

Stop posting this censored nonsense. It’s dumb and you should feel bad for perpetuating it. If you feel content is funny enough to steal from someone and post it here the least you can do is get rid of that bullshit.

If we just demonstrate as clearly as possible that we’re not a threat to them, they’ll have no choice but to give in to our demands!

I read the conversation. I’m asking if this is the part of the equation you want to focus on. It seems pretty irrelevant to me, especially considering the fact that you could very easily argue that all the climate change mitigation Biden managed to push through is more than offset by the damage Trump is currently doing, and his election is a direct result of Biden’s failure to protect democracy. Either way you look at it, Biden screwed the pooch.

You’re also living in a democracy that’s rapidly deteriorating into a fascist dictatorship. Is pointing out that at least we got some solar panels out of the deal really what you want to be doing right now?

The backdoors are being upgraded one at a time

Haha fair enough. Although I didn’t mean that specifically, just weird sexual content in general.

What else would it mean? That’s the kind of content the internet creates.

Yes, it’s called breaking the law

You’re confusing a want with a need. Resistance doesn’t come without risk. The longer we wait the more we have to risk. Many are already going hungry and more will join them November 1st. If you wait for them to be fed before striking you’ll never start.

To do what, wear out one section of carpet faster than the rest of your house?

I hope they get to read this:

Suck my dick ICE. Get a real job you masked losers.

How are you going to fix those systemic issues without getting people to see through the propaganda?

Why do you think that’s not universal?

People don’t get a pass because they’re targeted by propaganda. Everyone is targeted by propaganda. It’s your job as an individual to see it for what it is and adjust your perspective accordingly. Failing to do so is not anyone else’s fault.

I don’t know that the threshold is the problem. I think the problem is that about 35% of humans are complete pieces of shit. I don’t know how you account for that effectively. Expecting the rest of society to counter them seems about as reasonable of a solution as you’re likely to find and that’s essentially what we have now.

The system wasn’t supposed to be perfect or eternal. The founders explicitly said that they expected each successive generation to essentially rewrite the constitution. It’s not their fault that we only made minor tweaks over 250 years.
