That's not normal. It's sick and selfish. And I say that yes, with love for you and my homeland. It's not hate to want my neighbor in the hospital on life support to get well, but it may be selfish if they don't fully recover. It's not hate to want my alcoholic family members to get well. It's not hate to want my diabetic neighbors to check their blood sugar and help find them affordable insulin. And it's not crazy to expect my fellow citizens to not be sociopathic, fearful, or accept a false scarcity.

I know I'm not alone, but it's so nice when others show public solidarity. Thank you so much. 🤝 ✊

because for some reason he was on some “the globalist elites are going to do a depopulation!” kick, which makes no sense because generally the powers that be love having as many consumerist slaves as possible

I mean, reproductive and other health care, including medicines are out of reach for most of us, as well as a healthy diet, healthy and safe living space, not to mention transportation and safe working conditions or work at all if you have transportation or health issues, and social security/Medicare are only for specific ages and don't pay enough, and disability practically requires you to have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, and many die trying to get it. No one need worry about any other mass extermination program and body disposal is on the family or criminal penalties. Don't expect the government to handle that either.

There are other benefits, but I really don’t see this getting any traction, regardless, until we can get money our of politics and a wealth tax that makes sense (like 70%+ on the ultra wealthy).

Seems like an infinite loop by design.

Not like the dnc couldn't lean hard on party representatives to make them fall in line.

So why don't you want one wage earned to be able to support their entire family or corporations to pay their fair share so we all call have quality health and education? The EC is rubbish, btw.

Now we're all still property, but must find a way to feed, clothe, home ourselves and get to our mostly underpaid jobs. It's fine if it's extralegal, until we're caught or turned in.

I will try to remember to keep you posted.

If that's going to add to stress, please don't worry about that! I'll ask occasionally.

Enjoy the light show!

I'm really not sure and weirded out what happened to my last reply. I typed words and a link, pressed "reply" and somehow it came out something else. Anyway!

Doctors have to please third-party payers, so self-advocacy is crucial. Here is this very brief overview of D-deficiency, and you may be correct about your illness, COVID iirc. Best of luck, wishing you the most speedy resolution!

And "if you're a third party presidential candidate voter, you're doing more to harm Palestinians than if you vote for either genocidal candidate." *The level of gaslighting defies credibility; yet here we all are.

A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.

I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.

We care. Our owners don't. Hopefully we can shift the course.
