Step 1: Go to a public library
I am sorry you misread the last clause of my reply. you can check out the reply where I say some people don't have time to spend on GOING much less READING at public libraries. I am glad you don't have to live paycheck to paycheck. It's a privilege that unfortunately not enough people have
you're not making much of a case really. from your reply, it sounds like he functioned because he had a bookstore to make money as a shut in. sadly not the case for people who don't have much disposable income to pay for books much less have time to read/go to a public library to read
no this is how it always was. look at what the banana companies did to south america. look how industrialization changes perception of land as living space, religious sites, etc. to just another resource to exploit and extract
sounds like the guy had a psychological addiction to reading. seems like something to go talk to a therapist for and this is no joke if reading prevents you from being functional
no candace owens is just not smart. she believes the "jews" faked dinosaur fossils to get "christians" to doubt their belief. there's no reason to take her seriously just ignore and move on also the president was 15 and his wife 39 when they first met at high school as student teacher. they all suck
also a bigoted book full of atrocities and justifications for "evil" is also called a history book. you don't need anything to live decently. for the most part, your morals come from your environment. it's nurture more than nature in this case
you seem to have the perception that all religious people depend on some religious text for their morals. this is not true. atheists and anti-theists are typically more loving/caring? says who? where did you get that? is there a study or is that from your experience?
if you like minnesota that much, just move there I'm sure minnesotans would welcome you
best wishes for your sleep hygiene
no he's gotta show off his aligned chakras
wdym he's obviously lawful good
wdym it says full self driving. I didn't pay for half self driving
your attoorney
well, you had the anti-trump/ice protests but i seems like it didn't do much
why? it's not like atheists are necessarily more virtuous, moral, or contributes more to society
why? do you want children to learn profanities and see the mug of the world's biggest pedo?
so then why don't you try to start a lawsuit against the federal government? it's more complicated and expensive than you think. they also have a ton of immunity so your case is not as strong as you think
welll that goes for any law enforcement. they can grab you and you can do nothing about it then. these unlawful acts can only be challenged in court. get to know a local attorney I guess
it sounds like you guys need psychotherapy those are some strange word associations
abolishing the electoral college would require a constitutional amendment running on the position to mass incarcerate the former administration's workers just incentivizes mass presidential pardons the day before presidents step down
yeah that's what aggravating factors are for the real question is if the guy still has a job in law enforcement
he's not an addict. he was and doesn't do heroin now. addictions don't define people attack his points and positions not his appearance
yeah what do you think religious extremists think
no america is a person. north america and south america are continents. the united states of america refers to a nation
so there are problems that come with all monetization strategies, but a particular drawback of paywalled news is that you need attention grabbing headlines which heavily incentivizes clickbait not saying this is the case, but follow the money and motivations often follow
you're a high schooler, get off the internet and do not interact if you think something untort happened, report it through legal channels
everything was good except the last part. there is due process in that you are detained for overstaying and you get the due process of challenging that you are not who the feds say you are or did not commit the crimes the feds say you commited. even illegal immigrants have due process
deporting someone to a different country than where they are from to use them as a bargaining chip sounds kinda wild. almost sounds like an unusual punishment
sounds like you don't know what they were detained for. trump should've deported venezuelans to venezuela in the first place
small company vs big companies there you have it. what level playing field
ok I can respect that. I will point out though that blatant disdain for other people makes it harder for people who do care about the same causes as you but who are willing to spend time bringing more people to believe in better policies
energy is only one part of oil in industry. we have yet to see alternatives to petrochemicals such as plastics and lubricants that have lesser environmental impacts we must acknowledge that this problem is not simple, but the energy transition is still crucial for a better world
you're right. you didn't say you wished any human suffering. you just said that it's incorrect to see certain people with political beliefs as non-human. I can see how you are out of sympathy, but imo this is the perfect situation to persuade disillusioned voters to seriously consider alternatives
dehumanization is the first step of genocides in general dehumanization is not a virtuous act people voted maga. you need to understand that they are people so that you can sway them to your cause
btw it's only alleged that the letter exists and was authored by trump we have yet to see concrete proof
well... the "raw" footage they released turned out to have missing minutes and was edited rather than being raw, so even the three letter agencies mess up big time are you saying this because you are more of a "nothing happens" kind of person?
to an adult it's not mean, but think about how a hungry kid will take it. when you honestly tell your dad that you are hungry which at that age you need food to live and grow up, your dad flippantly tells a joke and still leaves you hungry
it's actually poor language to spell everything out to go from could you make me a sandwich to could you make me a sandwich for me to eat demonstrates lack of familiarity with colloquial use of english
whoa a bit hypocritical no? how are profanities on the internet polite? you should lead by example hank yes children should be taught but is it really a time for teaching when they are hungry?
that sounds horrifying. could you send a link of that vid so I can know more about what's going on?
I mea.... you could probably replace capitalism with anything
yeah this is very confusing as I'm trying to get information from the rplies
is there evidence that ICE or DHS does that kind of thing?
who are the companies handling deportation? as far as I know, ICE is part of the government, but maybe I am uninformed about the capital chain involved
maybe I am misinformed, but are you saying that ICE deliberately kills people rather than deporting people to the country they came from?
ok I still disagree but i see your point
ok so directly to cecot does not make sense yeah but if he did something in that country that he would be in cecot then I think the foreign country should be allowed to do their foreign country things
... so you want him to serve time here then get deported when he spends like years rotting in a US jail rather than going free after he gets deported? please explain what I am missing
sorry this discussion is a bit confusing
look, you don't need to be antagonistic to my statement that people are living paycheck to paycheck and they will take jobs that pay
... it took you this long after all the regime changes the US backed?
wdym
??? Am I lying about my attempt to be sincere in this discussion? Please don't just accuse me without backing it up
I agree with everything except the first part. The problem isn't immigrants or illegal immigrants. It's businesses leveraging their power. Also in this economy, tell that to someone trying make ends meet that they won't work minimum wage. Check your privilege
you're right about the self fulfilling prophecy yes, but ignoring math is ignoring how the system disadvantages new parties I don't think that's very socialist of you to ignore systems of oppression
who else is there?
I am sorry that I came off to you that way. Could you tell me why that is? Is it because of something I said? Or, is it because of my tone or behavior that gave you that impression?
the guy's not gonna die if he gets out of jail isn't it cruel to keep someone in jail rather than face the inevitable executive branch?
are you saying that this is not true because it is propaganda? I am trying to understand what you mean, please help me
no what?
your engagement and attention to the post legitimizes and expands the influence to an extent of the "fascist" entity
cancelled what?
it's true that if "enough" people voted, you could have socialist policies you should acknowledge that this is an uphill battle when voting for third parties. if you care about socialism, and systems and superstructures consider the voting system and how that impacts behavior, politics, and cuture
first of all, you're assuming people are not socialist to to lack of education. second, it's mathematically proven that under the current voting system, an individual's vote has less impact when voting for third parties rather than the dominant two. this doesn't happen in other voting systems
I don't think the profit part makes sense. businesses use illegally crossed immigrants for cheaper labor than legal minimum wages as well as businesses having much more leverage over these workers. it's more profitable to have cheap labor which deporting workers makes businesses have to pay up
could you please explain the propaganda? I don't see it and I would llike to see it.
you're diminishing the horrors of slavery by comparing deportation and jail to forced labor. if he gets deported, he's free in that country. if the US is so bad, then why is being deported from the US so bad?
it's not just propaganda. you are more likely to get nothing by voting for an independent rather than either red or blue. it's simply a product of the voting system in the US
wdym. what's the government going to do to him? send him to another country? if the US is so bad then isn't deportation an opportunity to go to another non-US country?
yeah.... it's not a peaceful world in some countries
where are you getting your definitions? you could flip the definitions and they would still fit the terms. playing semantics online is rarely fruitful
you're supposed to be touching grass not being online
look at the bookstore's hear me out section and that's all you need to know
you agree with entering your state id to watch porn?
you sure? do you want state id to watch porn?
if it can be commodified, it probably will be are you sure you want peaceful death to be commodified?
I said this to someone with similar sentiments. You don't have to talk to people you disagree with. it's your right. But, if you want more people to care about a cause you care about, you have to talk to people who disagree with your cause and persuade them to care It can be hard but life is hard
the specifics of economic realities were not what my point was about. other middlegrounds to approach are social problems such problems with affordable healthcare, shrinkflation, digital ownership, and economic realities are just the most common and biggest problem people face these days.
wdym it always was this way look at the epstein files, oh wait they're still not released
you have to consider that the epstein files are still not released
are you really sure that there aren't unaffordable basic needs and old perverts in other cities and towns throughout the country?
pigeons are the goat
so the dems that went to diddy parties or epstein's island did no wrong? did the dems that supported israel's genocide do no wrong?
sounds great
replace dem with nazi and rep with jew obviously, this pattern of thought is fascist no matter what the labels are
you are free to do with your body as you wish I am sorry you almost died from the flue I don't get how this relates to you getting the flu shot, but best wishes for your health
militant communities don't sound very democratic
thank you for categorizing my views into simplified buckets after all people are just an amalgamation of their views right?
people die from influenza vaccines lower severity of disease why do so many governments fund their production?
who's blue?
wdym you're starting to put words in my mouth I care about democracy that's why I'm trying to have some sort of discussion
that's pretty reductionist. there's more to why people support maga than just hate and mischaracterizing motivations doesn't help persuade people who support maga into supporting something better
so... are you going to talk to those people?
so you don't want them to see your side and also support whatever cause or viewpoint you care aobut. instead you want to remove people who disagree with you from voting sounds very democratic lol
idk why you went off on the specifics. I'm talking about starting from where people can see eye to eye then talking out their differences and maybe persuading them in the process
well if you don't want to talk to people who disagree with you, you're well within your rights to do so. if you want more people to agree with basic human decency, you're gonna have to talk with people who disagree with it it's that simple
idk man I suggest you find some kindness in your heart to see that addicts are people and are not defined by their addiction
way to stigmatize addicts
