Hey liberals and leftists: ultra-conservativism, i.e. fascism, thrives on the dehumanization of other human beings. If you dehumanize anyone, ANYONE, then you're behaving more like an ultra-conservative than a liberal or a leftist. You should know better.

Imagine if anthropologists visited a remote village with no grocery store and one restaurant that only served hamburgers and then concluded based on their observations that the villagers prefer hamburgers. That's essentially the discourse surrounding Americans and their relationship to cars.

And worth noting also that there's a subset of Americans (namely folks with small kids and/or mobility issues) who end up really alienated by the glibness of bike/public transit folks, who might be more open to car alternatives if their needs were treated with more seriousness by those advocates.

There are a lot of anti-car culture folks who put the cart before the horse and make broad generalizations about how simple it is to live without a car and just bike everywhere and, no.

As more serious advocates tend to acknowledge.

We need safer streets and more accessible/safe/consistent transit first, that's what positions us to move away from car culture and make that shift actually appealing.

Punishing student protestors only to get mad at them for not protesting anymore reminds me of how survivors are sued and harassed for coming forward only to then be blamed for not wanting to name and report their perpetrators anymore

If you punish people for doing the right thing, even make it impossible for them to do the right thing, many will stop trying.

why would anyone protest when they know the opposition party doesn't have their back? that's why the energy is now on Minnesota style open nonviolent resistance. there's no point in anything else! Even the Democrats in Minnesota are a bunch of fakes! (except Ilhan she's a real one)

Student protestors are often scorned at present day, but then remembered fondly by history

John Fetterman Says Iran Girls’ School Strike Is Just a Leftist Craze The Pennsylvania senator dismissed the demand for further investigation as “moot.”

Fuck Fetterman.

Sick of hypocrites talking about Islam mistreating women but US kills 150+ school girls & an investigation is "moot".

They cast all Muslims as extremists but our Christian government gets the benefit of the doubt despite decades of war crimes.

How Decades Of Anti-Iran Hysteria Set Us On The Path To War - PopularResistance.Org The unthinkable has happened: the United States and Israel have launched a war on Iran, now in its second week. More than 1,300 people have reportedly been killed by American taxpayer-funded munitions, and some 100,000 displaced, while hospitals, schools, playgrounds and other civilian infrastructure have been destroyed. The assassination of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the opening US-Israeli strikes on 28 February was intended to decapitate the country's leadership and advance the regime-change goals openly declared by the Trump administration.

US Wartime Economy: Bombshell Layoffs, Exploding Oil Prices - PopularResistance.Org It is often claimed by bourgeois economists, historians and politicians that endless war has been good for the U.S. capitalist economy, providing jobs in weapons production and the rebuilding of what U.S. bombs destroy. For example, the high school and college textbook “America’s History” (2011) argues throughout its telling of every war — from the 19th-century Civil War to the 1940s World War II, from the 1960s and 1970s slaughter in Vietnam to the 1991 and 2003 “shock and awe” bombings and occupation of Iraq — that U.S. wartime economies turned domestic capitalist economic recessions and depressions into general boom times for the population.

US Energy Chief Accused Of Manipulating Oil Markets - PopularResistance.Org US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, was accused on Tuesday of manipulating global markets after he posted a striking claim on social media: The American Navy, he wrote, had “successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing.” The post on X was deleted minutes later, after “oil prices slid at their steepest pace in years,” according to the Wall Street Journal. The White House press secretary later acknowledged publicly that Wright’s claim was false, and the Energy Department threw unnamed staff under the bus.

When you learn how hard it is to get people to come to three consecutive organizing meetings, you tend to spout off less about things.

And this country should never have billionaires.

They are billionaires = grossly taking from others.

They have our money and are using our money against us, because we also gave them power with our money. 🤦‍♂️

They know what they are doing is illegal.

It’s why they try to cover their tracks and why they talk about expecting to get pardoned.

The more we talk about future prosecutions as inevitable, the more it has a chance of deterring some crimes in the near term.
