Like when no one wants to take Grandpa’s car keys.

I’m done with the project requiring me to keep Windows. But going back to Linux after 15 years is like starting new. Ik mint was always considered one of the best for novices. Any others?

I think oligarchy is putting it extremely kindly. Can we please just acknowledge we are a naked kleptocracy now?

If she did this and raised taxes on corporate and individual wealthy, it would be a win of historical proportions.

Most people in the security industries that I’ve ever known are keenly interested in privacy, for good reason. There is a reason certain protesting elements *cover their faces and it’s not usually for nefarious reasons.

I really like his channel, and he’s pretty accurate.

It’s almost as if people should be paid enough and have enough PTO to live and enjoy it, as well as vote.

For anyone interested, here is a list of Working Families Party candidates.

I think our friends and neighbors who are opposed to feeding a person who is hungry, despite the reasons, are coming from a scarcity mindset, and politicians don’t really do much to discourage that, rather they stoke it. The earth is abundant, and there is plenty for everyone on it. It’s a matter of not pouring out milk, smashing eggs, letting grain rot, letting crops rot in fields to keep prices artificially high, and logistics. That’s all.

Absolutely. I can recognize the worst stereotypes of my race and stop behaving that way without heroizing or demonizing myself and my so called race

Thanks so much! I’ve voted WFP in the past and there are definitely candidates running as WFP now that will get my vote. Of course they’re branded as “radical leftists” and they are getting my vote. I don’t know when feeding a hungry child and spending money for decent homes and quality healthcare for our own people instead of blowing up other people and policing the whole world became radical, but it’s time to normalize it.

Thanks. You too.

Oh. This thread has s lot of comments, it’s hard to keep up. I wonder why no one’s filed a bar complaint? Thanks for the correction. That’s food for thought.

The first part, we agree. The J6 rioters were fascist insurrectionists, most certainly not Antifa or Black Bloc.

I don’t agree about voting third or not voting is for her that I shall not name, but I’ll concede it was not that long ago that I would have agreed. I’ve simply had a change in perspective.

The way anyone who disagree with the mainstream parties’ are virulently attacked as being either “radical leftists/Communists” or inversely, “fascists/Russians/bots”…I can see where Blue Maga makes sense. I would hope you would take time to consider that. Cult of Personality doesn’t just apply to Voldemort or the prosecutor. In Living Color and Disposable Heros of Hiphoprisy both addressed that in those exact words and in so many words, respectively, but it’s been a multitude of years ago, with songs that were rather popular, at the time. Fred Hampton, MLK and other leftist icons (if one can consider MLK leftist) did, as well.

Although we agree on certain points, and disagree on others, I’m glad you engaged in conversation with me. I think it’s been productive, and humanized us more for each other. I’ll certainly continue to give your sentiments more consideration. I hope you do mine, as well. May you be happy and well. Brightest blessings for you and yours, sincerely.

Lol. Not at all

Edited; here you go https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc

They’re the good guys.

The criticism was that Stein hired the lawyer.

I’m talking about Black Bloc, please reread what I wrote.

Yes. Maybe that’s why even though I voted for Clinton, I still was sympathetic to Antifa and Black Bloc. Cognitive dissonance was loud. And I fervently hope I don’t backslide.

My friend, when I bit the bullet and had FB for a couple of years to keep in touch with a loved one who only had phone service when they were by free Wi-Fi, there were Black Bloc groups on there that used FB groups for organizing action. Then Zuc shut them down, and notably not other equally controversial groups. Please.

Hi, I’m about five or six mobile device pages in their comments, now. Antifa most certainly can be violent, but it largely depends on circumstances, or maybe I’m conflating the antifa activists who also participate in Black Bloc, or maybe they’ve just calmed down a bit here in the USA since they first blipped onto my radar maybe 30 years ago.

At any rate, he seems to be more moderate than me since I have nothing bad to say about Antifa or Black Bloc, in my recollection of anything that’s made news, but I could be forgetting stuff. Thirty years is a long time.

I haven’t seen anything else that suggests antisemitism, so far, either. “So far” being key. I’ve been accused of RW talking because I’m definitely voting third party or not at all. I also definitely see his points, although emotion seems to have gotten the better of him. It happens. When I was leaning towards voting Harris, it got the best of me, and I made shill accusations too. Then the news and the photographs kept coming and kept coming. I was accused of being antisemitic when I started vocally criticizing Operation Razor’s edge, too, relentlessly, and used to become upset and almost started speaking out. That’s when a Jewish friend of mine pulled me aside and explained hasbara (it’s not explaining, it’s excusing the inexcusable, so yes, propaganda), and back then what was known as the IDF (Internet Defense Force). Mossad and USA right wing Jewish activists monitor media and real life, and quickly activate when criticism is detected. This was about the time people were heavily berating Noam Chomskey, JVP, Mondoweisse and the reform Jewish Temple clergy and members who spoke out against Palestinian genocide, and before the BDS movement began or maybe around the time it did, as antisemites and self-hating Jews.

Anyway, the word choice was terrible, I’m not that deep into his comments, yet. If I see others, I’ll come back and correct myself. The first glance was a glance, but I plan to look through several more pages. Have a good evening and thanks again for your kindness to me.

Their wording could have been much better. I’m thinking “hasbara,” but their wording was awful. But again, some people don’t know what hasbara is. Yes, that’s stretching it, I really should go look at their post history in detail.
