I notice an awful lot of hate for Booker, as expected. We have been discovered over here on Lemmy and some strange apologists have appeared recently. It is best to block or ignore these 'both sides' dumbos. No one thinks dems are great, even other dems. But we all should be able to agree that the prevailing party is currently exercising authoritarian tactics and we need resistance in all forms.

The act itself is meaningful and courageous and I would like to see more of this.

He said leon, the richest man on earth, called the poor parasites. And he believes that. Anything we get, food, a new phone, a nice day at the beach. We are taking them from him. He believes life is a zero sum game. I have so much empathy that I pity him.

I love your perspective.

I have been starting to think it might be our job as humans to destroy those machines. I certainly have a fair amount of rage against these machines.

For real, even the work of opting out seems exhausting. Can I just stop being already.

You needn't be broke to want to end billionaires. Plenty of people clinging to their status as 'middle-class' want to end billionaires. They can be insulated AND correct.

I am doubtful that my union will still exist by then, but I will do whatever I can to be able to not go to work if that strike happens. A general strike in the US could give the workers a fighting chance. Right now we seem disposable, we need to show them we are indispensable.

Such a banging album.

Yup, I also went through Catholic grade school and received my first F in anything in the third grade. It was because I had a grievance with the way my ancient nun of a teacher explained heaven. I kept asking her about how the other ideas of heaven (nirvana/valhalla/ whatever else I had heard of be age 8) couldn't all be the same place just viewed through other languages/cultures. She ended up slapping me and giving me a failing grade in religion.

I have continued to fail at religion as a lifelong practice. She helped cement some contrarianism in me to the point where I actually read the whole bible by 6th grade so as to be better prepared for debates.
