they think that the more crime you commit, the better

after all trump is the 1st convicted felon president

Trump is cutting/ limiting the budget for various universities in America, along with the PBS channel which has been on the air since the 80’s-and is often used as a replacement by low income parents as early childhood learning (sesame street etc)

Why is he doing these things to the American people? Because if citizens are uneducated and don’t understand the rules (like the constitution) they won’t speak out against people like trump when they break these rules- allowing these people to get away with numerous things.

It’s literally animal farm by George Orwell! if the animals can’t read the rules on the wall, the pigs can change and break the rules as many times as they want, benefitting the pigs and nobody else.

Honestly what is America doing 🫩

Within today's society, the most rebellious thing you can be is educated. Power thrives on ignorance, so read, question, and never stop learning.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

My dumb tin-Foil hat theory: Conservative's reasons for going after porn specifically is even spookier than just attacking Free Speech. Some research suggests that the availability of porn causes sexual assault and teen pregnancies to drop https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359178909000445

(I have my own personal reservations about this conclusion, but let's pretend for a bit that some really important people are taking this research seriously) Some of these "really important people" have stated that they are disgruntled that teen pregnancy has fallen and that such is a threat to their campaigns and the economy... no shit...

My theory is that Conservatives want porn to be LESS accessible so that more unwanted births happen - by whatever means. I should probably introduce a concept of labor surplus (not to be confused with Marx's "surplus labor"). Labor surplus means that the more people there are competing for jobs, the lower the wages and the fewer benefits employers can get away with offering workers. It means that business can treat their workers like dirt because they are dirt cheap to find. Prospective employees have no bargaining power if someone else is willing to take their job for less pay and benefits. https://www.numberanalytics.com/blog/ultimate-guide-to-labor-surplus

CEOs love squeezing as much value as possible from both employees and customers. Why wouldn't they encourage this. Like, I guess they'd want more humans this from a purely economics standpoint, but it's like still breeder-kink levels of gross.

Bubba4020 doesn’t even know that we are in fact part of the communist one world order and him commenting has only set in motion the final step of us taking over the United States with our woke mind virus that makes you treat people with respect and not commit genocide >:))))

Some not so hot takes:

Tariffs = Higher prices

Mass deportations = broken communities

Gay and trans rights = human rights

Doing the nazi salute on live tv = being a nazi

How can anyone disagree with this stuff dude

Tonight House Republicans voted 217 to 215 for a budget that'll take $1 TRILLION dollars from Medicaid, attack food benefits for kids, hurt seniors and vets.

but I don't want to talk about that, I want to talk about these two Democratic members of Congress you've never ever heard of.

Democrats, Congressman Kevin Mullin of California and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen of Colorado.

Congressman Mullin had knee surgery that didn't go well, two surgeries, a life threatening blood clot and a week long stay in the hospital, and the moment he was discharged from the hospital he got on a five hour flight to DC to vote against the Republicans evil budget, using a walker to get to the floor of the House

Congresswoman Pettersen gave birth to her son Sam, in the picture, exactly one month ago on January 25th. They flew from Colorado to DC after Republicans refused to allow her to vote by proxy after having a baby. Congresswoman Pettersen took Sam onto the floor of the House to vote to protect the Health care of 400,000 Colorado kids.

why talk about this? because so much of the conversion is about telling people there's no one good, no one worthy, no one fighting. I promise you there are people undergoing personal hardship to do the right thing.
