If you don’t vote, you don’t influence.
That’s the stupidest strategy you could have when you know WHY a lot of people aren’t voting at all. The only purpose of this strategy is to participate in the degradation of voting shares, and by extension, fascism. You want new votes, you get new people to vote, and you know how to do that. The GOP figured it out (I don’t want to say Trump figured it out).
Surely there must be a Naughty Bunny somewhere that could shoot that right back at them? Maybe not in video game trademarks.
It’s unfortunate that fascists don’t give back power. I have a coworker who was getting fed up with people like Macron succeeding over here, and he was saying “sometimes I wonder about Le Pen getting elected, maybe it’ll work to show how bad they really are at doing anything and people will finally vote left” (he’s from Algeria, he absolutely 150% isn’t a far right voter or even heavily religious himself) and when he saw Trump the first time, on Jan. 6, it finally registered in his head that you really can’t give fascists a single step in the door, ever, even if they’re shit at doing anything, you have to erase them everywhere because they’re not shit at keeping and abusing power.
What’s even more unfortunate is that the other people who are in power most of the time (“center right”) don’t actually want to keep fascists out of power if doing anything costs them power.
Take off the last word from that title, see what that does
Yup, standard fascist procedure. All the Nazi parties in Europe want to be elected to the European Parliament with the very publicly expressed goal of breaking it from the inside to prove that European unity and globalism don’t work.
What if there were elections every year? There’s always someone who needs to act.
The Apkallu are fish-men sages who brought wisdom to humans after the deluge.
Don’t care, still better than the ads.
I’ll sit for 2 minutes in front of a black screen and it’ll still be better than 45 seconds of ads.
Greece and Turkiye have that problem - not a war or anything but they have an open conflict about territorial waters and islands that’s been going on for a long time. No one wants to get involved.
so I guess it depends on who in NATO the US gets shitty (shittier) with - most big countries in Europe act like they’re ready to stand up, but we’ll see if they actually get physically involved or if it’s more finger wagging. Looking at Greenland…
Not if you get to the scene from the back of the car, where the sticker is and from where you can’t see the seat.
A delayed movie is eventually good, but a rushed movie is forever bad, or something.
That’s after he buys a new place, past the halfway point of the show.
They’re not all upper class, Joey starts as a small background / ad actor, Rachel and Phoebe do small jobs like waitress and massages - Phoebe living in the street as a kid comes up a few times. (well, Rachel is born rich but she starts the series getting cut off and left with nothing - after she dumps her dad’s credit cards she had) An episode has Joey, Phoebe, Rachel point out that they’re poor and often out of a job so they complain that they aren’t nearly as loaded as Chandler, Ross, Monica, and they have a hard time keeping up with their lifestyle. Also confirming Chandler, Ross, Monica are indeed well off. Later, Joey gets a good acting role, Rachel has a good job, and Phoebe gets a good place at some point.
In their action, not between their legs or their skin color?? You are misreading what I said.
By this logic, insulting the person at all is denigrating all of humanity.
No??
When you show transphobia, racism, mysoginy, homophobia, fatphobia, etc. you are not disrespecting the one person, you are denigrating an entire section of humanity - you are associating the harm this one person caused you to this one trait that a lot of other unrelated people share. And that’s how it becomes a crutch for you to use against anyone you don’t like, and then at some point, that’s just what you are - racist, homophobic, mysoginist, etc. Even unconsciously, you start thinking that anyone who shares that trait risks doing the same things to you personally, that’s just how it happens.
So no, you shouldn’t throw around the N word or the F word or berate someone’s gender because they are abusing you. Blame them for what they are doing to you, not for what they are. You don’t owe your abuser respect, but this isn’t disrespecting one person.
AIPAC doesn’t leave a lot of names available.
From this admin? Nah. It’ll be stolen and given to, idk, Thiel or Vance or whoever, but not nationalized, just reprivatized.
Look at the Cuomo / Mamdani primary for NY mayor, the DNC really tried to kill the socialist campaign. Most primaries like that don’t get that much support against the “old guard” among Democrats, so most of the time, the actual good non-centrist option gets swept away like dust. The work that’s needed to push a socialist through the primary is so much more than “you just need to get out and vote” because those like Cuomo have so much more weight to shut them down, it’s so rare for that to fail like this.
