Internet Left in the notes absolutely validating what my dude here is saying. It's like they can't fathom that change has to happen gradually.

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.

Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.

Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.

Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.

But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?

“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”

Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.

Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.

By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.

The phrase, "everyone except workers" reminds me of that one poll that said AOC was unpopular with "everyone except women, poc, young people, and LGBTQ people." Like such a circuitous to say they think older cishet white men are the default everyone, with all else being an abberation.

Like "everyone except workers" is just bosses, executives, and investors. Aka people that profit off of work without actually doing it, which is a far smaller group than workers are.

"The people that don't actually do the work don't like this thing that makes the lives of the people that actually do the work better," is probably a less appealing headline to the readers of Fortune Magazine.

Okay, I've seen a lot of people claiming that Biden is somehow responsible for the baby formula shortage. You're looking at the wrong president.

I've attached a picture of the man responsible below.

It's a fun picture of Trump with some other suits surrounded by piles of paper cutting a ribbon with a gold pair of scissors. This was to represent cutting regulations. This was the point where everyone who's ever worked in a lab started screaming.

See, those regulations weren't there because OSHA agents were bored and wanted to slap fines on people. They're there because people got hurt.

These were laws that said don't put workers around radioactive materials without hazmat suits--caused by the Radium Girls ingesting radium daily and daily. Don't leave meat out for hours on end and don't just pick maggots off--Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is about the meat packing industry and how unsanitary it was. Workers have to wear helmets where falling is a risky--helmets reduced death and paralysis. Use vents and fume hoods to move gases away from workers--look at all the people with different cancer from breathing in Lord knows what. Provide a fire escape and don't lock workers in--146 people died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Don't dump waste into the waterway--the Cuyahoga River literally caught fire. Don't produce medical equipment in unsterilized factories with unsterilized equipment--the Dalkon Shield caused millions of infections because it was made in a repurposed Chapstick factory with no sterilization (among other things).

These laws are written in blood.

Every single regulation that is part of the EPA, OSHA, the FDA, and the DOJ is there because people were grievously injuried or died. They're not there for fun. You might say that this is all common sense stuff but right now Amazon is tallying work place injuries faster than a textile factory at the start of the industrial revolution. Tesla refused to paint orange lines around machines, delineating where it was safe to stand. History tells us that capitalists will put profits first, worker safety be damned.

Now I haven't read the very, very long list of all the regulations that Mr. Trump decided was worth getting rid of. I don't think he read that list. But I'm guessing that there was a law about sterilizing equipment for food, maintenance for equipment, and/or consistent inspections that suddenly Abbott Laboratories no longer had to follow. And just like so many other big companies, they decided to put the profit over babies' lives.

Capitalism is the monster here, and this wouldn't have happened if one company didn't have a monopoly on making baby formula. But regulations were a muzzle on that monster and they kept rampant capitalism somewhat in check. With that gone, this is what happens. It's only a matter of time before we lose another important commodity because regulations were erased.

Stop thinking only about yourself. The self-interest and lonersim bullshit is poison.

Look at this winning streak

Russia has a group called the National Bolsheviks who's flag based on the Nazi flag, so maybe they should be taking care of their own neo-nazis before they go trying to "denazify" other countries.

“bUt ThErE aRe NaZiS iN uKrAiNe” shut up there are far right nutjobs in literally every european country, how is Ukraine special in that matter? yes there are neo nazis in my country. yes they are in yours as well. just accept it, move on and maybe realize that it’s the russians who are trying to pull off literal genocide as we speak. y’know, like the NAZIS were doing to during WW2
