Caring more about war profits than human lives is pretty capitalism

Wait wait I’m here for it. Get the status quo to defend themselves

It’s neoliberalism protecting capitalism

Well, not everyone is a landowner or is allowed to grow a smelly weed plant in their apartment so

There’s an in-between you haven’t considered, which is my local mom and pop pot shop. Yes some of these dispensaries are corporations, eg Mr Nice Guy, but most are not able to be corporations due to issues with banking because it’s not legal at the US federal level. If it became legal at the federal level, then there wouldn’t be any barriers for Walmart or any other very very large corporation to take hold of the industry and capitalize on it.

I will be sad if this means weed is corporatized though

When I visited Vegas, my allergies flared up horrifically (am allergic to tobacco smoke). Did have my sub get beaten outside of the LINQ by 2 cop girls, pretty good

If you’re allergic to everything, it may interest you to look into mast cell activation or histamine intolerance. There’s also a theory in alternative medicine circles (and an entire Ray Peat forum which is simultaneously informative and nonsensical) about your fat-soluble vitamins are involved with autoimmune/allergy issues and can be out of whack. And so their answer is to take larger amounts of fat soluble vitamins. This can be dangerous if done with animal derived sources of vitamin A, like your skin can start sloughing off and you get wicked nausea and diarrhea and headaches. Theoretically, these symptoms in the Ray Peat world mean you need more vitamins D, E, and K to balance the vitamin A toxicity effects.

I have an issue with absorbing fats/good and my allergies are worse when I’m having flare ups, so I do see some merit in this theory. I have found that supplementing fat soluble vitamins, (+omega 3 and 9, and various other B vitamins and vitamin C, and zinc and iron and copper and selenium), has helped my allergies out a ton. I really really recommend that if you have systemic allergies like this, to see if supplements/vitamins help.

My old job had homeless people who’d camp overnight with our permission. I gave them coffee every morning. They were nice and on hard times. Back during the Great Depression, communities came together to help widows buy their homes and to fight homelessness. We are all in this together. The homeless guy in your neighborhood is your neighbor. Most problems with homelessness can be solved by giving them a home or a vehicle to live in.

Squirrels are granted more freedom and dignity than humans in Florida

His actions and words are not contradictory though. There’s no contradiction. He wants to hunt down people under the guise of “looters”, by his own texts, and this historically is a justification for violence in this country. Then he conducted violence. Where’s the contradiction?

Everything in his life for months indicates his intention that night was violence.

Wdym? We are talking about his intent here, right? And YOU and the defense claim he was acting righteously because he was “stopping looters.” Well, if “stopping looters” is a codeword for an action which historically means “I’m going to go out and violently harm people that are black or poor or who fit my idea of a looter,” then it’s entirely relevant.

none of the rioters who attacked Rittenhouse were known to have shoplifted/looted

Shoplifters and especially looters is a common rightwing racist buzzword used to justify them being violent. It was never truly his intention to go after looters, that was always a codeword. Please look into people who patrol after hurricanes for looters - it’s a racist idea and they are forming little KKK groups literally. They did that as well in Oregon during the Blue River fires and literally almost got themselves and others killed, protecting “property from looters” that was literally going to be burned up anyway, and there weren’t any looters!!! Can’t emphasize this enough, no looters, so they were just delaying people escaping at gunpoint. Also can’t emphasize enough that looting and stealing is nonviolent, whereas shooting someone to death is quite violent.

If Rittenhouse was explicitly supposed to protect a business from looters, he would have security guard clearances and a paper pay trail. No, he was there to be a violent, possibly racist, pos. Quite clearly.

Yup, it was clear from the start he was cruising for a fight, which the law is literally supposed to prohibit even from police officers

Hilarious, as if police haven’t been doing what they want this entire time. They literally rape minors they arrest and get away with it. They barely have consequences already.

The Purge is a metaphor for eugenics based on wealth. It’s a libertarian’s fantasy of what a genocide would be. Ofc they love it.

Highly recommend the book One Nation Under Blackmail by Whitney Webb. Yes it’s entirely possible the currency we trade with Israel is intelligence based

Too young to get divorced, too. And statutory rape laws usually do not apply to spouses

These should be mandatory for all men to wear in public.

Some Lemmy users might benefit from putting these on their hands, too
