  A cashless society means your overlords will have COMPLETE control of your lives. Of course the oligarchs will have secret avenues of cash for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person have no critical thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, if you are AWARE of propaganda, you are also aware that you have been influenced by it. Propaganda is pervasive in civilizations. It is simply manipulation. TV ads and guys trying to pick up chicks are everyday uses of propaganda.

  The game, “Kiss, Marry, Kill”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In reality many people who were boomers lived in shacks, some with no plumbing and dirt floors, until the 60’s when liberal economics began to fully kick in. Reagan, and Republicans have schemed very hard to bring back those "good old days’. Try reading some actual history of that time. Bonus, if you actually talk to a boomer who lived through hard times.

  “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” - Carl Schurz:

  It’s our civic duty to make our country better.

  Some people may need to move because because they aren’t safe here right now.

  Some people need to be removed, one way or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Add mass murderers, insurrectionist militias and extortionists to the serial killer list that are being sidelined for car vandals and immigrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the DNC is the last place to find actual conservatives these days.

  There is a good reason for this. Money to win elections comes from CONSERVATIVE corporations and populism isn’t on their wish list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nearly $3 billion USD flowed through the TRUMP cryptocoin

  But wait, there’s more. Us taxpayer money will now be used to “invest” in these crypto scams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tried to order a part before the tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t they say climate change was a hoax or was that just for their brain dead cult followers? Amazing how easily they are manipulated. It’s like Republicans captured all the media then spewed shit to dominate them, but hey, it works magnificently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tried to order a part before the tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold off. Kraznov is getting so much shit he is going to walk it back, so he says. Can’t trust him any more than a rabid bat though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps a better question is, “What are you doing to help?”.
  Supporting a national strike, canceling Amazon, leaving FB, might be a good start. Contacting you representative who doesn’t represent you seems to be futile. Maybe flash protests?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the oligarchs. They have been trying to install fascist dictatorships for a very long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why are they called “popular girls” if they’re typically not friends with anyone outside their small friend group?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly sales and the self projection of being "cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where we putting these?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even Temu has tons of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The culture of incompetence, crime, failure, and collapse will become normalized? Not on my turf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are being way too optimistic. A lot of people will needlessly die, not only from violence but also disease, starvation, suicide and natural disasters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People will be in danger either way with the violence prone goons in power. If you are armed, there will be justification to shoot you. Protest at more public and friendly places. That way you will likely have allies nearby. Also, folks need to be situationally aware and plan an escape path if things turn too dangerous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We need a general strike that doesn’t end until the government capitulates to the needs of the people

  Many cannot afford to strike but that is the way the system was set up but we only need 10% participation to send a powerful message - any more is icing on the cake. Those who cannot fully can participate by cutting back 10% or more. Everyone should be able to cut back to some extent. Yet, expect the corporate controlled MSM to NOT report on the effects or participation of a general strike. Look for your news on independent sites, some reliable foreign sources and the Fediverse only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europeans watching US/CA relations implode⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Putin’s long plan is coming together magnificently. He started with just one useful idiot, expanded to the whole Republican party and a third of the U.S. population.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should have seen it coming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks to U.S. stupidity, greed and a certain felon, China will assume the position of the number one world leader very, very soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One BIG thing to consider is that in other countries citizens weren’t nearly as well armed as the U.S.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe, just maybe, a company that refuses to give you time off if you have a bullet inside of you is a really really shitty company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  weird there aren’t more Mario bros around in the US.

  Give it a little more time. When the militia folks realize that they have been had they won’t be happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what unbiased media sources do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All corporate news has been moved to the right, even NPR. For all practical purposes, local news has been eliminated. Local news formed the basis for trust and truth. Getting you news at a local ground level creates trust - you may know the reporter or you kids go to school with his kids. There is nothing wrong with news bias if you have sources that you can trust to report the truth and not omit critical information. That said, seek out and listen to people like Timothy Snyder, who have important messages. Here’s a clip of him talking about how the internet has changed and corrupted our news and views.
  I like listening to Belle of the Ranch, because she succinctly explains important topics that the MSM does not - note she does present views from a more leftist angle.
  Steve Shives is a Youtuber does not report the news but offers opinion that might inspire you to do further research. Finding good reliable news sources takes work, while junk news is cheap, readily available and detrimental to you.

  Stay tune. We are headed that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Love will conquer all the hatred

  Not only that, but the hatred on the right will consume them. Sit back, lay low, don’t participate and let the fools burn themselves. Opposition will only give them targets to blame for their failures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black mold growing on the dispensers at my local McDonald's⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Toxic black mold is a greenish-black gelatinous mold. It is not really black. Mold is not healthy and some people have severe negative reactions to regular black molds though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And the chuds will eat it up.

  Really feel sorry for the orange cult folks. They are incredibly ignorant and gullible to the point of being their own worst enemy. Demons will gather up their souls one day because nothing else tolerates such filth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah, thanks to Fox entertainment.

  Castor

  Wouldn’t do it because it could be deadly due to the ricin in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  holding your nose and voting for him anyway

  Funny, because Joe Biden’s policies are popular with Democrats AND Republicans. The MSM, one the other hand, seems to believe everyone wants a dictatorship so they are attacking Joe Biden for bullshit reasons. Make no mistake, the right will seize power and end your freedom.
