Yeah, about his show, and what a good guy he now is… And look, it worked!

You people need to try bonfire/BBQ onions…

The outer layer or two are sacrificial and intended to get burnt, while the inside gets perfectly cooked.

Om nom nom…

(I don’t know that that is what is happening in the photo, but an onion being burnt on the outside really isn’t an issue on its own)

True…

Though an “it” at the end of that sentence would have gone a long way to reduce my initial confusion lmao😂

To toss off

Ah yes, the high road, the best know cure for and deterrent of fascism… 🙄

further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

Literally already happening.

How anyone can think that rolling over and playing dead while fascists stomp their way in to (more) power is a better way to “fight” them, than, I don’t know, actually fighting them, is honestly mind blowing.

Check your privilege, the fact that you aren’t impacted by their ongoing war, doesn’t mean no one else is.

Yeah, this is counterproductive and plain lazy bullshit, as if there isn’t enough to legitimately criticise her for… 🙄

But we didn’t and weren’t

Deliberately of course, precisely to maintain ignorance, and keep the Overton window firmly on the right…

That doesn’t magically make democrats “the left” (E: and therefore doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t be fans of CNN, being centrists, at best) lmao

Your mistake is thinking democrats are “the left” lol

Why open your eyes to the reality that the system they built for themselves never has and never will serve you, but only the already rich and powerful, and that maybe its time to look outside of it for solutions, when you can be super fucking obtuse???

so we can find out how that happened.

If it’s still a mystery to you, you’ve not been paying attention - pig saw an excuse to kill a Black person.

Political violence has been continuously and systemically inflicted on the working class and otherwise marginalised people for profit for centuries, you considering it being aimed towards head fascist a problem, is telling on yourself, and on where your allegiances lie - firmly and actively on the side of fascism.

The only one you’re fooling is yourself.

Could also be a self appointed (or not) agent provocateur, who thought that a near miss would make trump a hero and his supporters even more fired up (in reality they didn’t need a push - the cult members already twist anything he does or is done to him to make him a hero), and martyred himself for “the cause” (E: or believed whoever hired him that he would be spared). I really wouldn’t put that past the average trump supporter.

Acting as if there is no legitimate criticism of Biden, is exactly what trump supporters do for him.

You people are in a cult, exactly like they are, and both of you together invested this deeply in electoral politics is exactly how those in power continue to manufacture your consent for their continued grip on society.

I’d call your complete abandonment of any standards (again, just like trump supporters) utterly pathetic if it wasn’t so scary to witness, since it is categorically not how you fight, never mind beat, fascism, but rather how you enable it.

At no point did I hold that individual responsible for the system (I literally hold landlords responsible at one point, but this story isn’t about landlords, is it??), but they ARE responsible for their own actions within said system, and for directly causing harm to this family (and I guarantee, many others) with the little power they yield (and before you even try - yes, landlords and those in power cause an altogether different level of harm, but until you’ve been faced with this kind of attitude and discrimination from the bootlicking gatekeepers who just love having a drop of power over the lives of others less fortunate than them, you don’t have a fucking clue the kind of deep and long lasting impact it has, not only mentally, but materially).

Their own circumstances, which MANY share yet magically aren’t cruel arseholes, are not a fucking excuse nor justification for that kind of bigoted bullshit. I have no sympathy for those who have no sympathy for others, and who take their frustration with our world out by punching down instead of up.

So you please keep in mind that excusing or brushing off this kind of attitude and behaviour tells people like me just how little value our lives and well being hold in your opinion.

E: honestly, your comment is the perfect demonstration of why class reductionism isn’t just counter productive, but actively harmful, and why intersectionality is absolutely imperative if you hope to ever better society for everyone (because even if you improve the material conditions of this civil servant, it won’t magically make them no longer ableist or misogynist, only, maybe, less classist).

This makes my blood boil.

It’d be bad enough if it was just any random person, but being disabled myself, I know far too well how difficult, to practically impossible, it can be to find a place that isn’t only suitable to live in, but where the landlords will even consider you in the first place instead of instantly putting your application in the reject pile because you or someone in your household is disabled (both of which result in a high rate of homelessness among disabled people).

There are so many different and equally distressing levels of heinous to this bullshit, from misogyny to ableism, to classism, to just plain old wilful ignorance and cruelty.

People like this civil servant should spend their time being eternally grateful to not be in such a position as this mother is, since they wouldn’t survive a fucking hour in her shoes.

FUCK

The problem is these aren’t “flaws”, these are features of a system, and until people realise that, and stop playing within the rules set out for us by those in power to ensure they maintain it, we will never be free of them and their very deliberately oppressive systems.

That sucks. I had an issue at first with it only giving the option for android even though I’m on pc, but eventually I managed to get it right, I think there was another sub menu or something, I can’t remember exactly since it was a few months ago now… If that’s not it, I guess give some of the other options given here a try?
