In this metaphor the white liberal is someone who supports progressive values in theory, but when it comes time to make the change they get cold feet in favor of the status quo.

You don’t have to be white to be a white liberal. You just have to keep using disingenuous cable news talking points.

I guess the other option is to vote for the senator who has been there 29 years and spit in the face of progressive values and agenda, the working class, and supports the Israeli fascist regime and endless stupid wars.

You’re using disingenuous talking points of cable news

Are you one of the folks who said we shouldn’t vote for Bernie because he wrote a New York Times best seller and became a millionaire, so he’s not working class?

Haha

You sound like a white liberal

“The white liberal must honestly ask himself why he supported the movement in the first place. If he supported it for the right reasons, he will continue to support it in spite of the confusions of the present moment. But if he supported the movement for the wrong reasons, he will find every available excuse to withdraw from it now, and he will discover that he was inoculated with so mild a form of commitment that he was immune to the genuine moral article.”

You are pretending the political establishment politicians on both the right and the left uniting against someone isn’t the best candidate regardless.

Stop watching cable news

My biggest fear is that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

There are either dozens or hundreds or thousands of species of insects that have evolved to look similar to wasps and hornets and bees that can’t actually sting. Protect your native bees however you can.

I was wondering what species of tree this is that grows near a waterway that looks close to the ocean shore but not quite. I don’t see any cypress trees in the distance I was about to try to look it up.

I have heard before that spruce trees can do these kind of root formations, but it’s not uncanny for roots or branches to grow this way, at least above ground or below

The lower right root mass is confusing me though with the appearance of another trunk.

Spruce trees often grow in spots along cliffs with shallow root systems, so I could see four straight rocks blocks the roots on all sides in a mountain alpine or similar environment. are you sure this is ai?

Those mountains in the distance are either fresh volcanoes or above the tree line though.

Square has multiple meanings actually.

Your comment makes you sound square, for example.

Can I buy a parking space in this county or city with my LLC and vote there now as the ceo?

Or do all of my workers have a say in the vote my corporation casts?

Edit grammar.

The economy (thelemmy.club)

If you divided all the stocks issued in the US stock markets by issue number

and put them in a basket, chose one randomly,

there is an 87% chance that that specific stock belongs to someone in the top 10% of wealth in the country.

There’s either millions or billions of stocks in existence, but this is still true.

I would love to go to a church with an animatronic beezlebub and the leader of the church half hidden behind the curtain like in the wizard of OZ when Toto pulls back the curtain.

This is an awesome idea just because, although I don’t like the idea of coerced interogations. At the very least the satanic church needs to own this patent haha

"Show only read posts" (midwest.social)

This is a suggestion not sure if right place

We have “hide read posts”

Can we have “show only read posts”

Sometimes I want to find a post again, I can sometimes use key words if I can remember them, but generally difficult to find a post I’ve already looked at

for you to survive the journey. If you could somehow spray the oxygen to get you close enough to Earth to use the parachute and land safely, how would you do it?

Edit: and how much oxygen would it take to spray, would you need to use to oxygen to slow your decent? This is assuming the amount of oxygen you have would be the same amount required before you naturally deorbited like a junk satellite or something. So like, you don’t have any food so you wouldn’t make it that long, but that’s how much oxygen you magically have…. Could you make it out alive? And how?

Edit 2: one of you has a cool clipboard and space pen that astronauts have that you can do math with.

Edit 3: one of you is a stoner.

Edit 4: if the space station was in geosynchronous orbit, could an astronaut jump down off of it?

Pretty awesome article with links on the history of western media propaganda and outright lies and support of multiple coup attempts on Maduro.
