tale as old as time
I didn’t see this film until the 2010s, and I couldn’t believe how accurately it lampooned my local scene.
just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s worthless, and charging for content doesn’t make it valuable
nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so.
that’s a lie
the assassination itself is a comedy of errors. they actually managed to escape only to happen to turn down an alley with an assassin.
Russia? Insane dictatorship with rather infamous harsh policing. You disagree, you die. China? Same. Cuba? Same though arguably the least worst of all, still shit
none of those are classless, moneyless, stateless societies.
You’re the one claiming it will
I don’t think I did.
it won’t scale
you can’t prove this
communism, it requires you to kill a lot of people and basically become a dictatorship.
communism is a stateless classless moneyless society. it can’t be a dictatorship.
I don’t think you know what you are talking about
ending all oppression just isn’t your style?
I was aiming at anarchist utopia
so you know people did vote for gore
right. smash Canada and the USA. no borders, no nations.
al gore won his election
I’m unironically in favor of border abolition
but cutting a kid off from their only known support system and jailing the abuser doesn’t serve the kid or society, on balance. I want to fix the problem, but calling the cops just doesn’t look like a fix to me.
I watched my dad get cuffed and taken away and he’s an asshole but that didnt fix the problem. I leaned on my mom, moved in with my grandma, and I’m better for it. it’s not clear this kid has an extended network that can help them make it better.
being in jail and paying fines didn’t help my dad. the biggest best change I saw from him came from explaining the dsm npd diagnosis to him.
I want this kid to get help, but I don’t think the cops are it.
I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.
