Haha aye, we call it Corporation Pop round my end.

We call it Corporation Pop here.

hehe

Isn’t undocumented another word for illegal immigrant? (It’s not really a term we have over here so apologies if I got that wrong)

I have nothing whatsoever against people based on their country of origin or skin colour etc, but if you’re (or a close loved one is) flagrantly breaking the law and hiding from the authorities by illegally residing in a country, surely you shouldn’t be surprised when you vote for the guy that promised to root these criminals out and deport them?

To me, the big news is people who are legally residing in the USA are being gulag’d, not that they’re catching illegal immigrants. But yes, this woman was a fool, sadly.

She may be intelligent and capable of learning better, but such is the power of propaganda and brainwashing that it can get us all. None of us are immune.

It’s a strong reminder that people can be tricked into working against their own interests, no matter how smart we are. The only thing that will give us a fighting chance are strong Critical Thinking skills. Even then, it’s so easy to be fooled and not realise it.

But why? Why make them scared they’ll lose their jobs at any moment Vs feeling secure?

If they’re scared, they’ll be seeking better employment, applying for other jobs whilst working this highly unstable one. Probably reduced productivity too, I wouldn’t be as productive under that sort of negative environment.

Make them feel valued and secure though and they won’t leave, there’ll be less workplace issues for you to have to deal with, and they’ll work harder.

Unless you see them as completely disposable because the law won’t touch you and there will always be desperate people to fill those positions at any given time, fear is a ridiculous thing to want to instill in your workforce.

You’re right and yet now it’s a beloved classic

IT’S BEEN A LAWWNNGG ROAAWWWDDDDD GERRIN FROM DERRRR TOOO EEEEEARRRR

commondreams.org is on my PiHole block list for some reason, is it a low quality news source, or some such? It’s not a news outlet I’ve heard of, at least.

Edit: Ah, because it’s a shell going to a CDN that scoops up data and such, seemingly.

You say they, not including yourself.

You’re a member of the rich ruling class, then?

It’s an interesting perspective that working class teenagers brought this on themselves.

They generally seem quite restricted in their agency and impact, indeed they are usually the most vocal and proactive age group for bringing about positive change, but the incumbent oppressive system of late stage capitalism (not any one individual, group or organisation, but the collected interests and power of the ruling class put through the lens of capitalism) resists that change with great strength.

You know its reflective surface? Well, uh…

I hate to be the one non-scientist that picks this up, guys…

…What worries me is that it’s reflecting everything but us.

I wonder how big of a crowd you could subdue with drone swarms high above the throngs deploying a high dispersal cloud of something down onto them.

Thousands? Hmm. I wonder when we’ll see them try.

Why are you censoring the word kill? Are you a child?

We can use big boy words on the internet, this isn’t the classroom.

hahaha good onion article can you imagine if this really happened haha

r…right?

If the USA government says it’s not involved, that means it’s involved, right? Every lie from them is a truth these days.

Methane is what the majority of natural gas is made up of, and if your generator isn’t made to be very efficient (like a real power station is), you’ll lose some of your fuel unburnt into the atmosphere.

Kinda like unburnt wood smoke vapour, which could have been burned in a higher quality wood burner, but just goes up the chimney in an open fire.

Glazing?

It was glorious. I used Stardock’s Windows Blinds to adjust the transparency to what felt just right and that was chef’s kiss

Ahh, what we’ve lost…

The more you look at the villains in all the TV, movies, and books growing up, the more you realise they’re mostly evil capitalists.

It’s weird that Hollywood etc would green light so many movies about how rich people like themselves are evil, and teaching kids to fight against them.

The rich landlord is going to close the community club hall! The rich businessman is trying to have us killed to cover up his chemical spills! Etc etc.

If it’s not a literal alien from another planet, more often than not the bad guy is just a literal normal capitalist.

And yet try to use the lessons taught in every piece of media you ever watched as an impressionable child, and you’re told that your anticapitalist beliefs are “extremist” and you’re dangerous and must be stopped.

Weird eh?

Standing still in front of a television camera man with nothing else around you, holding a microphone and talking in to the camera, while a fascist police calmly raises their gun in full view of the camera and shoots you in the back from about 10 yards away?

Also she was a woman.

…or are we talking about ANOTHER journalist they shot today? Surely there weren’t two?!

How many innocent people are they shooting, I wonder? How many are being disappeared to the American Gulags of El Salvador without a trial? The journalists at least have a voice, the others won’t be so lucky.
