They basically want border towns to become civilian ran security checkpoints by the sounds of it.

You stop for gas in Bumfuck, TX and the clerk gets to pressure you about what you're leaving the state for. If they think you're "one of those types", this ordinance gives them the authority to make your life a living hell. Doesn't even matter if you're actually getting an abortion, just that they "think" that you are.

Elvis jumpscare house!

Curious if you are a JelloApocalypse enjoyer or found this elsewhere.

This is from the first house they toured through on their second Bad Zillow Houses stream.. The whole house is pretty nutty

You mean the fact that the biggest initial source of support the Nazis got was from the emerging business class who were scared of the rising influence of labor unions? Can’t imagine why that gets pushed under the bed.

Not like we had that nearly happen here in the US or anything though. Just don’t look into the Business Plot or that many of the Jan 6thers turned out to be small business tyrants…

Just remember that the most dangerous Nazis aren’t the skinheads on the corner but the ones on Wall Street.

90% of his advice is pretty much just boilerplate self help stuff you can find in thousands of books on Amazon. That stuff gets you in the door and is meant to develop a sense of trust because you might see initial improvement and feel good from the advice.

It’s when he does the rug pull and starts introducing trad nonsense into it that determines how willing a person is to keep following through on listening to him.

Like you mentioned, this is an extremely common tactic used by religious leaders as well as cults. Back in the mid 20th century when the whole self help craze started, many cults took to framing themselves as self help groups to attract outsiders. NXIVM is probably the most infamous example of this. The first few meetings should seem like a normal support group but would soon start ramping up into full on cult mode.

Looks like it was cropped from this New Republic article from last June.

In short, the article says the Republican Study Committee’s proposed 2024 federal budget calls for removing the Community Eligibility Provision from the National School Lunch Program which provides funding to low income schools to have free meals for students

In my opinion the biggest problem w the police isn’t the officers it’s the training and culture.

That’s sorta the point that people generally have issues with cops dude. It’s the overall culture of shielding of each other from consequences, stoking a “everyone is your enemy”/warrior mentality among officers, bad or lack of training leading to unneeded violent escalation etc.

It’s been police departments dragging their heels and throwing tantrums on addressing these issues that have what caused people’s dislike of them to grow.

Asking if I misword something? I’m saying insurance companies are being actively complicit on this ongoing fascist movement by denying trans people coverage to HRT.

I guess my Florida based insurance provider dropping coverage for my HRT is “just a strawman” turns out

And this is nothing new at all for Apple. I still remember how infuriating it was having to deal with iTunes for moving files to and from my iPod Touch. Jailbreaking so I didn’t have to deal with iTunes was such a relief

Android obviously having no issues with you just having direct access to the file system makes it so much easier

“Well, there was a bit of a stir when it was decided that since corporations are people, they could technically run for president. But President Walt Disney-Pepsi-Comcast has done wonders for the economy… given that it’s… now the economy”

I’ve known a number of self labeled “liberals” that basically think being progressive means simply not being openly racist and restraining from yelling slurs on a street corner.

Surprise surprise it turns out they were just closet bigots who were aware what crowds they could get away with expressing their horrid views with and in the recent years figured street corners are now perfectly up for grabs.

The best marks are the overconfident ones who think they will be able to out scam the scammers. They are the ones who will gladly dump their life savings into shitty ape pngs thinking they will be the one to make it big.

That definitely still demonstrates a ride or die mentality. If one sleaseball can sway the room in such a way where than budging against it would lead to ridicule, that still shows the sort of internal pressure there is to tow the party line no matter what

I think they still got their white hoods collecting dust in the closet

If a “good boss” is being an actual good boss, the worst they should have to expect from the union is having the occasional friendly meeting with them to discuss any minor workplace concerns and contract negotiations.

The fact many “good bosses” immediately start sprewing hell and brimstone at the mention of a union hints maybe they ain’t as good and benevolent as they claim to be.

Anytime a big corp gets caught fucking with poor people worse they get is a slap on the wrist fine maybe 10 of what they profited and maybe 1-2 years max in prison time for a few fall guys.

Wonder how chewed this dude is about to be.

That was basically how the Nazis started out. A bunch of businesses owners were worried about the rise of leftist politics in Germany so they saw the Nazis as a way of pulling populist support away from the left. Also the Nazi SA was used to break up unions and left wing party meetings to further disrupt leftist influence.

They wanted to push the message “We are the good capitalists, it’s those other bad capitalists that are the issue.”

I love you can tell by their faces, “his boys” look so tired and disinterested in his shit lol

“Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat And the obese milkin’ welfare”

Misremembered the line but regardless, still sure sounds like he’s blaming them.

“Also, it’s hilarious how he can touch on 20 issues that every one of us agree with, but the left hyper-focuses on one line they don’t like, because he just looks like a hillbilly trump supporter to y’all.”

That’s sorta the problem of right wing populism dude. Yeah, many of the issues pointed out in the song are legitimate and need to be addressed but how he tacks on “welfare queens” is trying to shift the blame onto people have nothing to do with your own hardships. That family getting $400 a month in food stamps is not the reason everything sucks right now.
