I’m hopeful this will all lead to America’s farmers breaking from the republican party.

I fear american farmers will go bankrupt and all their land will be bought by corporations.

Honestly same. I haven’t spoken with my dad in months thanks to his MAGA views. I blame this “fuck you I got mine” as a result of community destruction

Let’s not be unreasonable, there can be multiple causes and multiple solutions.

Those countries also used to have a more communal structure amongst families and that still was dismantled.

But they actually implemented social programs and living wages making it not an issue.

Also yes it is capitalism fault. It all is, including the dismantling of our communities to favor more isolated living. It’s design to separate us and disempower the worker.

I’d blame a lot of this on the destruction of our communal living patterns. We used to live in extended family groups. It was reasonable and expected to live with your parents and siblings. If you did leave the family home it often was just to build a home on the same property.

But then the idea of the nuclear family was popularized, probably to make more money and sell house, and here we are.

To be clear since what I said has been immediately misinterpreted, family centric living patterns were torn apart by capitalism. It heavily favors capitalism when we are separated from each other and lose community. This wasn’t a benign social shift

Fire red will always be my number one as it was my first game.

Otherwise it’s a hard choice between Sapphire and Heartgold. Both had great regions and lots to do.

My most played would be Diamond and it was good, but sinnoh was never my favorite region.

I don’t think he’ll live more than 4 years anyway. Hopefully the movement collapses when he does

I made a comment self censored to “Mario bros” on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They’re going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory

Ignores my statement of active action

Claims point was proven

Refuses to elaborate

Leaves

Bold moves

Okay so we’re going to have to define words.

Reason:

1. a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.
2. the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic.

Please refer to definition 2.

Sure we can spend all day defining words, but that’s obtuse. You very well know what I meant. Not turning an active flight around is magnitudes different than continuing arrests and deportation after a court order.

A justification requires at least some pretense of a reason. Just because you want to is a statement.

Once again, it’s not a cope to acknowledge that things are bad now and they can get worse. I’m going to protests, I’ve stopped all discretionary spending, and I tell my story to anyone that will listen (my work has been directly impacted). Hell I haven’t spoken to my Trump voting father in months. Short of taking arms against the government there’s not much left to do, and frankly to get to that level the milestones on the way to the bottom do matter a lot.

Saying I felt like it is not a justification. Wouldn’t call this a cope either. I know things are bad, but there’s still room for them to get much much worse. I think they will reach that point. It’s just watching the milestones pass now.

There are words and there are actions, but we’re not far off

I don’t know how to make people understand the difference between personal and national debt. It’s frustrating

At least they’re still working under pretense and condition. They “can’t” turn them around because they’re already in route.

It’s not good, but they are using a contrived reason. I’m afraid for the day they stop trying to justify it and keep doing it.

Things are getting to that point rapidly

If they arrest more people after the court order. That will tell us for sure.

I’m not saying things are good right now, they’re pretty bleak

The pressure the DNC seems to exert over it’s canidates is insane. There was probably a lot of pressure on her to toe the line. I heard they reigned in Walz quite a bit too.

Maybe one day the DNC will learn

That’s why I’m here

They’ve broken the law blatantly and have not reversed some things that they should have, but typically they have stopped doing the action when the courts have ordered it.

So they have sorta, but not outright

People felt pain during Bidens admin from inflation and moved to trump. After the pain he will cause I think we will see a much larger shift

Once this administration defies the courts democracy will be over in the US.

It won’t be a one off either, he will then begin doing whatever he wants. Congress will not stop him.
