Hey, they're the ones who repealed the chevron doctrine. How are we gonna weaponize it? (just spit-balling) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4809 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ all my leftist friends are paralyzed because it feels like they're alone. why do they feel alone? where is the... everyone else? why are they alienated? I can't help but think to the large protests the liberals attend and fight for. where are those? is everyone just... too tired these days? maybe that's why they gave us a biden presidency. /sigh is anyone ACTUALLY a liberal these days or are we all still stuck on the idea that there's fewer leftists than fascists? I don't believe that's true, I never believed that's true, but now they've got the guns. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4810 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── I can type my thoughts 1000x more coherently than I can speak them. Hence why I post here. feels useless to speak 1on1 - feels insular to speak to a group. Hence why I speak here, which is totally public that anyone might see, and somehow I feel so much more productive engaging in an endless conversation with myself. you can't win a war by walking in circles... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4811 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────┘ @user-1074 georgism is pretty similar to liberalism if I understand it correctly. I think it could be a neat simple way to say "hey what if we taxed landlords" and that's good enough for a start. by no means is it the desired end-state, though. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4812 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────┘ @user-1074 hence my suggestion for a three tier system - one of which maintains the current system, the next which organizes labor, and the next which organizes families ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4813 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────┘ economy, labor, family. three primary focuses for three primary parties. what else do you need? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4815 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: violence-mentioned-politics-mentioned-police-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ what if we luigi'd the absolute worst cops and posted their crimes against humanity on the internet what do you think would happen what happened when there was that one "serial killer" with a sniper rifle in LA? what happened when someone at Occupy Wall Street started taking potshots? (did that actually happen or are you just remembering a "what if" scenario from the It Could Happen Here podcast, a podcast which you should definitely have heard like 3 times by now even though it's kinda old and from like what, 2016 or whatever? it's still good) what happened when we luigi'd someone universally despised? we agreed what do you need if you want to contest the largest military in the world? A military that, thankfully, is going to hemmorage soldiers as they defect. However, they got a bunch of guns, so... convince your future allies who have been stockpiling for 100 years that Trump is despoiling liberty. Get them on your side, the ones who are "fine" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ |
