And trans people aren’t treated as equal and they are constantly attacked by their fellow citizens.

Oh wait that’s America.

I don’t know much about Iran, but do they have legalized slavery? Because America does.

I’m trying to understand your point, but I’m a little lost here.

Do you mean the way the public reacted to their ad?

Or the way they capitulated to that reaction?

I mean: Yes racism and sexism are pervasive in our society, but using Ben and Jerry’s (operating under the same racism/sexism) as an example; they do heavy marketing tactics toward LGBTQ but they are also an ally.

Does them utilizing that make them bad?

Can something be good and also a marketing tactic?

Even if this is true, I don’t think they’re going to find the number of votes to change any outcome. Didn’t Trump win by like 3 million votes? Maybe this could have flipped an electoral college vote, but would that have even mattered?

I mentioned people organizing and fighting back in my earlier comment. I absolutely support it. But the main point is the organization.

And I really don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that, while sure they are doing whatever the fuck they want now, they have far more gross tools they can use. I think what we’re seeing right now is Trump trying to normalize the military protecting ICE.

Would you consider ICE losing being -1 officers and you in prison or dead? Like I said, I don’t disagree with the sentiment, I’m just being realistic.

Let me put it this way: If people start killing ICE officers, they will be rolling up with every resource they have to kidnap whoever they are looking for.

Is that a better situation?

Killing officers is not the end, it’s the beginning.

Sadly, no. I mean, MAYBE, with the right administration you could get away with killing an officer if they are breaking the law and endangering your life. But it’s really up to the courts, and courts are usually not okay with killing their officers. Even when it is justified or self defense. The state will not go down without a fight.

I don’t think there is any realistic resistance without an organized army of civilian soldiers. The 2nd amendment and ‘militias’ and all that.

If they are using the data that has been perpetuating this for a while now, they don’t have a single source for the percentage given.

It does say NEW STUDY though, so I could be wrong.

I recently watched a YouTube video about this exact percentage, I’ll try to find it and link it.

It’s just a stupid joke, like waking up dead.

Only if you want to spend the rest of your life dead or in prison.

It’s a lovely thought, but ICE has the entire weight of the government behind them.

A socialist party who does dragnet operations on socialists, communists and trade unionists.

Very socialist, that.

What I found crazy was that, he knew exactly what he was doing. He’s intelligent enough that he can understand all the injustices in our society and how people are taken advantage of, only to consider his complete capitulation to it as ‘amoral’.

He actively decided to throw his arms up in apathy, but he doesn’t see it as a moral choice.

Wild.

Yeah, the archive link. The conversation about ‘being part of the hydra’, specifically. Sorry if I misunderstood your intention.

That is one of the most interesting threads I’ve ever read. What the fuck.

FD Signifier, actually ☝🏼

I think it’s also good to remember that, creators who bake in their sponsorships are USUALLY paid upfront for the space.

Meaning, just skip that shit if it’s not for you. They already got the money.

At least, this is how I have come to understand sponsorships.

They build them with the rocks surrounding. These cliff faces will break off and shatter, leaving bunches of flat rocks that can be stacked and mortared together. If you zoom in, you can see the speckles of different colors in the walls.

I was there just last year. It’s amazing.

I always wonder how this nation would look if we hadn’t committed a genocide against the natives.

You ever heard of the gigantic animal depictions that used to sprawl the north east? There are a few still around, but seeing what they had originally done with the land would be jaw dropping.
