When the US still had conscription, they implemented college wavers so rich and middle class (largely white) kids could avoid serving in Vietnam and only poor kids and minorities had to do the fighting and dying. Now we have an all volunteer military but since we don’t have universal healthcare or higher ed, we force our poor to serve in the military if they want those things.

Fucking cunts. Literally everyone knows that Israeli wouldn’t do shit with that aid except keep it or destroy it.

I do. It’s exactly the kind of attitude that lets Fascists take over countries. What we need are people to draw a line in the sand.

Man, I get that bro was scared but people fleeing the country is fairweather friend shit.

They sent ships to provide assistance or rescue if necessary, not to actually protect them from violence or abduction. Basically, they only promised to help someone if their ship sinks and the Italians only did that much to calm striking workers. All optics, no substance.

Considering how cheap life is in Russia, and how expensive recruitment bonuses are, I’m surprised they haven’t already switched to conscription which they have a long history of.

I’ve heard of plenty of cases were people (or their next of kin) didn’t get shit. I’ll grant that that was from the first 2 years of the war, maybe they got their act together.

Most of windows products get increasingly worse over time. Security updates aside, I’ve never understood why the didn’t just stop updating things to save themselves the money and save us the hassle.

These people are all willing to play shows in the US, why wouldn’t you expect them to play in Saudi Arabia? Sounds like living in denial about our own country. Like the concept of blood diamonds; money from software made in the US has funded conflict all over the globe but no one called it blood software. We used to export soybeans and used the money to bomb foreigners and no one called em blood soybeans.

Moral failings are always some other countries problem, we’re the shining city on the hill remember? /s

The buddha says that the more you have the more you want

Well, it is a thing but it’s also an integral part of being human rather than a “culture” that’s somehow new. The difference is that it’s a power wielded by the people now rather than tastemakers putting people on a blacklist.

Bill Burr is different in many ways but the clip of him screaming “fagot” at the crowd was a clue that he’s no ethical paragon

Comedians have been making fun of politics my whole life. Not always what I would call taking a side but at the least calling out whatever foolishness was on the news cycle.

The fascists caterpillar made it’s cocoon but it has finished it’s transformation yet.

“Chicago police officers who arrived were greeted with shouts from protesters complaining that the police were not protecting them.”

Lol, most US cops pick that job because they like hurting people and know they’ll get away with almost anything.

In a just society, this video alone would be enough for that officer to be arrested and if the feds wouldn’t couldn’t then the state would. But we don’t live in a just society and it’s fast turning into a fascists dictatorship

The name is never the problem, it’s that the person with the name exists that people get so butt hurt about

Too many guys take it as a swipe at their ability to please their partner when a woman needing a vibrator typically has zero to do with his ability to get her off and everything to do with her ability to get off.

It is insane and highly illegal but following the law is not important to Trump, his regime, or his followers. MAGA doesn’t care when laws they break as long as they get to be bigots

Or start a community defense group like the Black Panthers
