Correct especially in rural areas all firefighters are volunteers and/or prison labor

One of the fucked up parts is that if you have a felony conviction you aren't allowed to serve as a firefighter after finishing out your sentencing even if you have experience fighting wild fires for no pay.

Not quite last week but on New Year's eve a Palestinian comrade we have been working with to coordinate funds and food aid for families in Gaza sent us one of the most surreal images I have ever seen.

A picture of the fruits of our efforts in the form of the hexbear logo on a huge bag of flour that has made it to the Gaza strip. Absolutely wild that the last thing I saw on our obscure little shitposting site in 2024 was much needed material aid with our site banner and a thank you message in Arabic in the middle of a warzone. We often talk about posting not being praxis but every now and then this wonderful community surprises me in incredible ways.

@barryamelton@lemmy.ml This post is not equating the Nazis with an actual socialist party, though I agree it could be a bit more clear, what it seems to be saying is that more insular homogenous communities are more likely breeding grounds for fascism.

When I was in kindergarten I broke a bullies nose and for that they wanted to hold me back a grade to separate us instead of punishing the racist homophonic bully in any way.

fr a 22 year old is still just a fuckin kid. I'm 40 this year and I would never ever consider dating a 22 year old. 30 maybe, but like how can you have anything in common with someone 20 years younger than you power dynamics aside. All that said 22 and 18 is a lot better than the relationships a lot of my girl friends as a teenager got into.

Edit: okay it was a troop fuck him he deserved the beating even if it was for the wrong reasons.

Why the [redacted] family left Ireland

The passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act in 1829 added fresh fuel to the fires of bigotry that had raged all the years while Daniel O'Connell was striving to bring about this tardy justice to Catholics in both England and Ireland. Though it was no longer possible to pass laws against the Catholics, no restriction was placed on fanatical bigots who were free to indulge in such petty persecution as they could plan -- and carry out.

On one large estate in the townland of Ballan-na-grannan, County of Tipperary, this persecution took the form of refusing to renew the leases of Catholic tenants - unless they turned Protestant ... The Church of England. When it was nearing time for a lease to be renewed, the rent was raised. If a man protested, he was evicted, and a Protestant put in his place. If there was reason to believe a man would pay any rent rather than leave the place where his people had lived for generations, he was denied his lease unless he gave up his Catholic faith.

Some thought the agent was doing this with the knowledge or permission of the land lord. [redacted], my grandfather, was one who thought that way. When refused his lease for the usual reason, he went to the land lord and was told he would be given a ninety-nine years' lease, to him and his heirs, rent free - if he would promise to have his children brought up in the English church.

I have heard them say that Grandfather told the man he might go where he could light his pipe with the end of his finger. But I suspect he was wise enough not to say that until he was where neither landlord nor agent could hear him. Such language would have caused his arrest or imprisonment. Whether he said it or not does not matter. What he did was to hurry home and take himself out of his holding (little farm) before the bailiff had a chance to evict him.

This was in 1843, and [redacted], with his wife and three children - Joseph, Hannah, and Edmund, bade goodby to Ireland and took the long road to America.

I love me some post apocalyptic fiction but this show is so full of Malthusian and eco-fascist shit I checked out half way through the most recent episode. Patriarchal shit "humans are the virus" shit I just fucking can't. Fuck whoever wrote what this is based on and fuck whoever decided to turn it into a TV series.
