True.

Yep. And those rules of etiquette are, no means no, no touching without asking, and if someone tells you to knock it off you stop the behavior immediately & permanently.

My concerns aren’t that they are doing it in an unlawful way, my concern is that they are doing it period.

Inserting a layer of bureaucracy into the process doesn’t make it in anyway better or okay.

No but you don’t understand, suddenly now that the media is telling me how bad ICE is, I care about this. When a blue president is in office the media doesn’t talk about it, so I just assume everything is okay again.

Not talking about things = progress!

Apparently you died waiting for the perfect revolution. Sorry you had to find out this way.

We aren’t anywhere near the idea of perfect revolution, people are still caught up with perfect action planning, perfect rallys, perfect protests, perfect meetings! So many people over think the most basic stuff, it comes from a good place, but it usually leads to impotence.

“Golly gee, our org is so terribly white, that means we can never organize around or make a statement regarding black issues. What if we get something wrong and someone calls us out?” and then the group proceeds to do nothing

That’s the type of shit I hear damn near every single time I’m in an irl organizing space. That’s where the “radical left” is in my area. I know you all have dealt with it too.

You gotta use the information and experience you have to the best of your abilities and move forward. Doing something imperfect will get you far more community respect than doing nothing.

Even if all this was true (I don’t agree but besides the point), Israeli bombs still blow up women and lgbt people. Getting blown up and colonized is hardly progress.

Good thing I’m a communist then.

Because we don’t just blanket support taxes either. What kinda tax? A sales tax? An estate tax? Income tax?

Communists should avoid promoting taxation that would disproportionately burden the working class.

Edit: Seems like we all are on the same page, maybe I could have framed my original comment better. I realize the memes purpose was to highlight the issue of surplus value extraction which absolutely should be peoples #1 priority, I just get a bit tense when people get too excited for taxes. There’s a right and a wrong way to do it and beating libs over the head with “lol taxes are good actually” isn’t (in my experience) an effective slogan. Usually better to focus on progressive taxation. Things like capital gains tax. Or straight from the communist manifesto “A heavy progressive or graduated income tax”. Promoting sales tax? Bad actually!

Gonna second the soatok hate. This guys just been signals #1 fanboy for the last several years and it really gets on my nerves.

Fair.

So, the law as written quoted in the original post, atleast to me and I’m not a lawyer or anything, doesn’t seem to imply that it would actually be illegal. Police might still charge you (because they’re scumbags), but I’m willing to bet its something that a judge would throw out.

Basically how it works everywhere, the statute here literally says you can walk on the extreme left side. Cops are wrong.

I’m gonna be the odd one out here and say that route is hardly unwalkable, and with some minor changes could even be somewhat safe compared to the walk I make to work everyday. I went down the entire route road by road in street view, you’ll be hugging the shoulder in spots, walking in grass and cutting across the road a few times, but you can manage it.

Just so you know, nothing of value (you) was lost.

While I understand how you feel, you gotta think about how news gets reported.

Republicans aren’t so far off when they talk about the “liberal news media”. The news reports democrats failings significantly less, or frames it using more neutral language than how republicans are reported.

During bidens presidency I literally never heard anything about deportations, yet he did deport a significant amount of people. More than the amount we’ve seen from trump (so far).

No matter the justifications, the tone, or the methods, deportations still happened, and currently more of them happened under both Biden and Obama than with Trump. People most certainly were hurt and/or killed in that process too.

While I don’t personally uphold them, they’re arguably the easiest of all the “AES” countries to make a case for.

Obama and Biden are allowed to have as many deportations as they want. Infinite deportations. Its only bad because Republicans are doing it.

You said no ubuntu so here’s some debian distros ;) MX linux, Sparkylinux, LMDE, Q4OS

No seriously though, all of those have their fans and in my opinion deserve a look. MX linux has one of the better xfce setups out of the box imo, sparky has lots of cool DE packages, LMDE is mint but better-nt, and Q4OS is one of the few distros that includes an out of the box trinity setup.
