The guy doing the shooting was a registered republican.

Because if you start justifying these kinds of things…

Republicans have already been justifying it. It was only days ago that a Republican said [paraphrasing] “theres a revolution already going on and it will be bloodless if the left doesnt interfere”.

Republicans have already been justifying the death of BIPoC, trans kids, the queer community, Palestinians and anyone who opposes their genocide… the list goes on. And its mealy mouthed liberals that always say shit like “oh but we shouldn’t start justifying using violence, even in defence” from their positions of privilege.

WTF do you think is going to happen after November, whether Trump wins or not? They have been laying out the justification for using violence for 4 fucking years and you’ve slept through it, hoping its just some nightmare you’ll wake up from.

Democracy does not work with violence.

How do you think your form of ‘democracy’ was achieved? You ballot box is awash with so much fucking blood that you would piss your pants if you had a tiny inkling. And most of it is from those who your country mercilessly crushed for you to have it. You dont live in a democracy. You live in a military/prison/pharma industrial corporatist state that masquerades in a trenchcoat as a democratic Republic

I never experience that when cycling in Europe, only in the UK but then Europeans don’t have that culture war bullshit of “the war on motorists” that’s leaned into heavily by the right wing press.

Old man shouts at clouds hating on democratisation of music production tools and digital distribution, while sitting in his $x00,000 studio, wanting to consume music that uses laborious methods of manufacture and distribution and seeing it has no value if it doesn’t.

The attitude some have of “we all live in poverty until none of us do” is plain dumb and that living with materially comfortable standards is a “multimillionaire lifestyle” is childish and immature

The DM will now go into overdrive for the next 5 years. Nothing they love more than being opposed to the party in power, accusing them of failing while taking no responsibility for creating the environment they created themselves

The US is a corporate military entity masquerading as a civilian government

Biden’s policy has always been on the moderate side of the democratic spectrum

This is the guy who was calling for restricting social welfare programs 25 years ago while wholeheartedly supporting Israeli expansion.

He has been anything but moderate

I’m pretty sure that dropping a 2000lb bomb on a refugee camp is deliberate.

You’re trying to deflect from a story about murdered Palestinian children with a “Well, ackchyually…”

What a piece of shit

To me, it’s been amazing to see people who appeared to understand the ethos of Chomskys “manufacturing consent” then immediately turned into war hawks.

The worst are the ones who claimed to understand that working class kids are “fortunate sons” but then wanked themselves into a frenzy watching videos of DJI drones dropping grenades onto Russian kids.

Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.

You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)

It’s really hard to convey certain subtleties in text. It’s all good!

Wildwood officials now say the 80K to 100K number was not the number on the beach at the rally but the total number of people “in our town,” including restaurants, bars, and other places.

It’s perfectly reasonable to estimate how many people are in that hemisphere as a ballpark attendance number for an event. Sure, they might not have all attended the rally but why else would they be in that part of the world?!

No, I was definitely suggesting you could but could you? Especially people like the person who made the half literate other reply

You’re a fucking idiot if you think roads were only built for the transportation of goods & services as they were superceded by canals then by railways.

It was a massive step backwards in inefficiency in an orchestrated move by vehicle manufacturers that freight was shifted back to roads.

And the guys (yes, more than one) carrying fridges on their shoulders while cycling, have more fucking balls than you’ll ever dream of having.

When I used to be on twitter and in response to idiotic comments like that, I would post the video of the guy cycling with a fridge on his back, one of someone moving a piano, several tradesmen that quit their vans to use cargo bikes, the pedal cab company in London (proper cargo bikes not the shitty tourist things) and the mother of 6 from Portland that had a cargo bike to take them all to school.

It used to shut them up

Only 14?

The previous commentor sounds exactly like all those people who have harassed Zoraya with their bullshit “miracle cures”.

It had always astounded me that we offer painless, merciful euthanasia to our pets and animals, both wild and domesticated, yet not to our fellow humans, who must suffer until the bitter end.

The attacks are happening from the Moroccan side of the straits of Gibraltar all the way up to the north of Portugal and the bay of Biscay.

All of the yachts attacked are under 20 metres, not owned by billionaires and a lot of them are liveaboards who have sold everything up to go travelling.

The attacks are thought to be from the result of over fishing along the Portuguese coast as well as incidents between those fishing boats and Orca pods yet it’s smaller boats that are being attacked.

So it’s not the 1% getting fucked but others as a result of their actions, yet again. (The reason suspected that this pod is attacking boats is because of sports fishermen attacking younger Orcas)
