Mayhaps, but you can also do this:

sudo chown me /usr/lib

Owned the Libs 👈😎👈

(doesn’t ‘usr’ mean ‘universally shared resources’?)

Certain headlines get really funny if you pretend sports don’t exist.

Or, in my case for this particular situation, if you are a foreigner and are missing a lot of context for American Sports.

(also Boureoisie is hard as fuck to spell)

So I used editing to turn the wildebeest into a Nazi. Now I’m glad that it’s dead

Nah the right has one or three pet billionaires they outright worship.

Darn, you beat me to it.

Spoiler: they won’t

but changing words is just virtue signalling that doesn’t do anything to make anything better for anyone

… And if you are the type of neoliberal politician that wants to pretend they care about people while never actually doing anything to help anyone other than the megacorps when you get into power – Then this is literally all you’ll ever do for people. Linguistic fuckery. Making up new words for things. Fucking around with definitions. And you know that there will be an army of people who will defend this, and shoot down people who actually want to do something on grounds that they said the “wrong” words.

The argument for ‘unhoused’ is that it humanises the person – But it’s really pushing it.

Gimme that papayussy

Conservatives hate government overreach

Unless someone is gay

Then the government should reach all around to prevent them participating in public life.

American suburbia has rotted your brain.

There’s the part where all the firstborn sons die unless their parents paint the walls with sheep’s blood.

Been a long time since last I’ve seen a good honest Snafu

I guess it does feel like 2016 in here with neofascists on their way back to power in the US and all that.

One mostly exports the genocide to the third world

The other wants to bring it home.

I make a point to just not open any thread that mentions US Politics.

Clairvoyance and kids shouldn’t mix

There’s that whole “children of Dune” book that tells us why.

The thing is

“The law says it has to happen” doesn’t mean it happens.

And the weaker labour protections are in your country, the more bosses can walk all over their employees.

In the US, with their so-called “at-will” employment system, you can be fired at any time for any reason, and if you need the job to like, live, you won’t even bring up your legal rights.

Mind you even on countries where polling happens exclusively on Sunday (like mine!) there are other subtle ways The Poors ^tm are kept from enfranchisement. “Voting happens on a work day” is just one of the ways it happens in one of our world’s oligarchies.

It really depends on how much you need that job to like

Not be homeless

And how hard it was to get the job in the first place.

You can make your legal rights count if you have options.

If you don’t, you let your boss walk all over you and thank them for it.

Because they don’t want the workers voting.

If you “can’t go to the ballot because you need to work” you are a plebeian, and so they have a way of excluding you while technically not excluding you.

A lot of modern oligarchy is powered by these technicalities. Technically everyone has a “right to” participate in the system, but the whole apparatus is rigged in such a way that in material reality only the same nobility caste that has called the shots since the bronze fucking age gets to call the shots.
