@glynmoody I fling the STUPID label about quite a bit, but how on earth can you be so uninformed, so myopic, or so self serving to be in law enforcement and not recognize that the Agent of Chaos, Lil’Donny is the antithesis of law and order??🤔

@WarnerCrocker … and we let them or alternatively, the system allow them to get away with it. I liked Biden as an alternative to Trump, but I think there is a critique required as to why Trump could not be Federally prosecuted within 4 years. Can I blame a divided Congress or is this mostly on Biden? 😐

@philjreese When one person holds the wealth of 10k+ people, there has to be issues. It’s wrong from a societal moral standard. Even the Bible recognizes gluttony as a sin. All ya have to do is get the populace to insist, “no more”. Why is it so hard? “Sheep” is one of favorite terms. Improperly regulated capitalism is the culprit.

@Npars01 @justinmikulka.bsky.social The GOP is busy terraforming Gaia for $Bs of profits to eventually resemble…Venus. 🔥 Just forget the crime of turning our blue gem of a planet into a wasteland, ok? Maybe they plan on a grandiose bunker for the grandkids to live in style. 😳

@Impish4249 @paul @QasimRashid Agreed that any system corrupted, is garbage, the official label can’t be applied. Here’s the thing about Capitalism, the “accruing of capital”. This can be good or very bad, but inherently it’s about individuals through hard work and effort accruing wealth for ‘themselves’. Beyond its purview is the health of society, unlike socialism which in theory is all about group dynamics and health, a different emphasis. 1/2

@Impish4249 @paul @QasimRashid For capitalism to work, it must be heavily regulated with a socialist mindset otherwise it becomes cannibalistic, destructive, and will lead to a breakdown. For profit medicine is a prime example of a breakdown in progress. Bankruptcy based on lost jobs. Social Security on the verge of collapse. Capitalism and incessant seeking of max profits for ‘self’ is the culprit. 2/2

@Impish4249 @paul @QasimRashid I’ve said often that Capitalism can only work if it is muzzled, that it’s excesses are capped, that the excess ‘profits’ are plowed back into society for health and stability. With the New Deal, the guard rails only held briefly, sliding backwards ever since.
The problem, we are selfish, not like minded, we take from others for personal advantage, easily corrupted and will allow Capitalism’s excesses to destroy us.

@paul @QasimRashid Nixon, a republican enacted for-profit medicine in the USA, 1970ish. Capitalism is the problem that includes a misconception that it serves the masses. It Does Not. it is cannibalistic because there are too many humans, who want max profits at the expense of others
Btw, if anyone in this conversation failed to vote for Harris because of a single issue: Gaza, then you deserve the coming pain of another Trump presidency debacle.

@jeffowski Our rights are in jeopardy regardless of what color you are.

@WarnerCrocker So in other words when it’s Walz’s turn he can spend all his time countering the stream of lies from Junior Varsity Vance, because MSM CBS can’t be bothered to do so. 😳

@jeffowski And if you are a non-believer, agnostic, or a believer of another thread of faith, see the Trump Christians for the threat they are to our National religious freedom and counter them at the ballot box.

@mcpinson @msbellows @benroyce Despots when cornered can be dangerous, illogical, and unpredictable. I’m worried that if things go south enough for Russia a mushroom cloud or two might appear in Ukraine. Don’t want to speculate consequences beyond that. 😳

@jeffowski Complicating the credit situation is that some number of non-working spouses, although they are included on joint accounts, never establish their own credit and if they separate or the working spouse dies, their credit is zilch.

@WarnerCrocker @noondlyt No rational court would say that overthrowing and undermining the results of an election was within official Duties or stealing classified documents as you leave office. However, I’m convinced with this broke bad court and Donny everything he does as the new position of POTUS Emperor, will be considered an official act. I am tempted to suggest actions Biden should take regarding seal team six, but I’ll stop with that. 🔥😡

@mina i’ve not read this. Would you mind saying what the take away is?

@HistoPol @GreenFire I’ll expose myself, what does AltText mean? Do you mean a link? 😳

@GreenFire One of my favorites is the Martian Chronicles, a series of short stories, sometimes moving, often intriguing, centered on the colonization of Mars written way back when by Ray Bradbury.

I’m observing a consistent background drone on Mastodon attacking President Biden over US Gaza policy.
While I disagree with the USA’s complicity with Israel in Gaza, and have complained about it often in smaller forums, the consensus is:
Keep some level of perspective and pragmatism. Under no circumstance can you not vote for Biden and expect a better outcome for Gaza and Palestinians. You want to help them? YOU ARE NOT by enabling Trump as POTUS to team up with Netanyahu. 🔥🤔

@WarnerCrocker I was trying to illustrate the ideals that we usually would support in theory, like Democracy, until for some of us, that Democracy prevents us from getting something we want, like imposing our religious views on others or maintaining perceived white privileged. The latter is ironic when it is perceived by working class who are just scrapping by, that skin color should bestow privilege, while their choice of leadership herds them like sheep to be sheared. 🤔

@WarnerCrocker Equal opportunity, equality before the law, freedom of and from religion, freedom of speech without hate, civil rights, voting rights, affordable/universal medical, body autonomy, social safety nets, public education, a college education without being indebted for life, the ability to retire instead of working till you drop, the wealthy paying their fair share into the system, citizens before corporations, all BAD if I can’t impose my my personal will on you! 😳
