Emily - Joanna Newsom. I don’t hate it whatsoever but ever since listening to Joanna, this song in particular, I haven’t achieved that musical high since. Maybe in this altered universe it can be created once more so I can feel that joy and wonderment again - if only for a moment.

Wait until you hear about this little organization called >!hamas!<

🤣😂😂😂🤭

Wait until they find out about people selling their food stamps 🤣

I sympathize with this but your situation is very anecdotal and on the extreme end of the poor spectrum. Most of Americans in need of government assistance largely benefit from it.

The problem with the post is that it’s a point of view by way of ignorance. No one steals carts full of baby formula and diapers (mostly formula) to give away a la robin hood style. They do it to sell on the streets or to cut drugs with it. That’s just the facts.

Racist? 🤣

I fucking hate this take. It’s so middle school edgy it cuts my cringe receptors into pieces.

I get what you guys are trying to say but most people aren’t stealing to feed their babies or provide them with diapers. Most of the people are stealing so they can sell it on the streets. Where WIC and welfare can’t help pay for it.

I swear, have any of you been poor ever?

I’ll leave a few examples of what I mean but growing up in the 90’s, it was cool to be racist against blacks. My family was no exception and it was expected of us to not get along. This wasn’t an isolated incident as the whole world of “pick-me-minorites” (including other black people) was growing. The system made us enemies and with it came a culture of acceptable racism. So it’s no surprise that these older generations still harbored some misguided hatred when the BLM protests/riots happened. My family, as much as I love them, are completely stupid and immature when it comes to racial issues. My own sweet mother is afraid of black people and is oftentimes on the giving end of some wild racist quotes. But her uncle was killed by a black man over a pair of shoes so I guess it’s “justified?” Obviously not.

So it could be a case of underlying racism that pushed them over the edge. The BLM movement was viewed negatively and as “typical behavior and patterns of violence of their kind” even though the overwhelming majority was peaceful. So it pushed the center to the right the right even further.

Anyways, here’s some links to the turmoil - not necessarily a direct link to my original claim but I guess you have to make the connection. The left media won’t (I sound so far-right right now 🤣)

As a second generation Latino I believe it has to do with assimilation. Most of my family works in construction in some way (including myself) and they’re usually uneducated and easily manipulated. It’s no surprise the right targets blue collar workers and bombards them with anti-social program rhetoric about “your tax dollars being used to fund the lazy” bullshit. Also, and I hate to say this, blacks and Latinos didn’t mix historically. The BLM stuff moved a lot of minorities (Asians and others) away from the left and I’m still embarrassed by it - another example being that Latinos and whites get along in California jails and don’t associate with blacks. Shits fucking retarded.

I can apply one of my favorite quotes to this situation: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - LBJ… but instead use brown instead of white 🤣

So have a lot of small groups

Holy shit guys he solved the whole problem. Where should we send the check to?

Alright guys, get your Lemmy Political Retard bingo card out! Let’s see how many we can hit! I already got the system is fucked and are we really reduced to these choices?. Oh! I just got democrats need to pull their head out of their ass!

The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂

I think all women are beautiful but if you can’t live up to these strict standards, it’s not the end of the world.

You heard him, @FluffyPotato@lemm.ee, it’s been debunked somewhere 🤣

No, it literally hasn’t.

This is a genuine question: Is there a distinction between how horrific war can be vs straight-up genocide?

I’m only asking because the UN has ruled that this isn’t a genocide but I’d like to hear your take.

Edit: I’d also like to see evidence of the intentional hospital bombings if you’d be so kind. Thank you.

It’s not a genocide, goon. Read a book with definitions and look it up.

Hasan is a reporter?

Never said it wasn’t a form of protest. I said it’s not effective and I’d like to add that it’s also very dumb. Like setting yourself on fire in a first world country.
