Collapse theory is fundamentally a privileged take. It is a position that is impossible to accept without either the assumption that you'd survive, or the assumption that the disproportionate harm to the disadvantaged is worth it for your end goals even if you die too.

Either way, you're declaring that your paradise can and should be built over the bodies of the disemprivileged, and are automatically wrong and a horrible person for even being able to think that way.

You are the exact kind of monster that built the colonialist model of Israel, just insisting that your nation built on the bodies of the innocent will be a more moral one somehow.

If voting didn't work, they wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from doing it.

This country has the potential to be everything we were told it is already and more, but it will take hard, persistent, and undeterred work keeping republicans out and reshaping the democratic party to be the vehicle for the change this land made for you and me needs.

Sounds like Estonia figured out how to network cybersecurity with their neighbors, because Russia is gonna go absolutely nuts trying to attack their grid now.

"Nu-uh! It's only grooming when my kid realizes they're gay, not when I trade her like a brood mare to an influential political old fart in exchange for financial favors and political sponsorship of my relatives!"

Original post is def spot on though.

The modern homeschool movement is born out of an attempt to stop the kids from realizing being traded as brood stock like their parents' property to make business with their friends over is bullshit.

People like this deeply confuse me

The IRS ain't sending an agent to you specifically unless you've done something well beyond the pale of what can just be excused as a mix-up or simple misunderstanding

You gotta be in a whole different kinda space for the tax man to be someone you gotta personally interact with.

Technically we pay for all the shit that makes living on earth less brutal than what the monke has to put up with on a daily basis

Money tends to be less painful than getting mauled by a predator trying to scavenge food

Also we have beer! No seriously archeological evidence suggests beer was the main selling point of settled civilization for a lot of groups, so much so that it was the money until someone in turkey figured out you could use weird metal disks for that instead.

This is why Biden's team needs better publicity

Widespread awareness that the billionaires are flipping to Trump to dodge taxes would boost Biden's profile.

I think it has more to do with how not taking violent threats seriously enough has led to escalation into real world violence.

Say cunt and whatever but this is a pretty tone deaf post in a world where the Myanmar Genocide, enabled significantly by Facebook's lax moderation practices, is ongoing.
