life will beat the egotism out of you

I've met way too many mediocre (mostly)white (mainly)men who think they know everything to believe that.

I heard (could be mistaken) that there is a group in Texas that has shown up, armed, several times when tent cities were going to be torn down and averted their distruction, at least temporarily. Should def be a nationwide movement, but there would need to be a way to identify when the pigs were going to roll in.

I'm from hexbear, people are critical of it all the time on hexbear. You just can't criticize China and not know the people there are far better off than those in the US

When my partner and I met she was a libertarian and I was a Obama loving lib. When we first started dating, we had both become "progressives" and canvassed for Bernie. Now we are both anarchists who would happily fight alongside MLs if the opportunity for revolution were ever upon us.

My message is this: together, you and your partner can extremify each other far beyond where you were likely to reach alone in the most virtuous of cycles.

Or less for less. I know a woman who is a manager of a dialysis clinic, as soon as she was making over 100k she started getting pushback from higher ups, having more oversight, and having her funds for extra services to patients / staff cut. It's clear they want her out even though she has the lowest mortality in the region, because they don't need more than beds filled (Medicaid pays) and legally required minimums to be met.

As opposed to the corrupt oligarchies liberal states are.... I guess you just don't call it corruption when it's working as intended.

This just made China's system click in my mind. Thanks Awoo

Socialism is also an economic system.

Is that particular combination special?

The Dems are capitalists they have much more in common with Republicans than they do with my beliefs

Yes, by logging off.
