…just this guy, you know.

wow! this must be the most “fuck you in particular” moment ever.
Firefox and noscript will get you almost any wapo article.
edit: article is worth the read.
I think the issue here is, in typical conservative style, they just take and never offer anything in return.
quite telling that no woman will have this weird freak.
I try not to judge with incomplete facts…
but damn, do I hope the fucker is now blind - you know, to ease the terrible pain of having to look at people with (assumption incoming) a different skin color from his. you are the problem. fuck you.
signaling that mascweirdulinity like a lighhouse.
fun fact: the long term trend for number of US choking deaths per 100k of pop. does appear to be increasing again after 2017. 🤔
all good.points. my only retort is that its ineffective until its not. this direcyaction has an effect on a small number of people and I think the blowback is likely minimal - net positive? the people involved may geninely not ever engage in any other way on this issue. and if the marketing people are right, engagement is vital.
good question. it seems to work on me, but I don’t think I count.
I can say that when people in my orbit start talking about the direct action they have heard about (a few do), it is a possible entry point into a personal discussion on climate change. I don’t often pursue these openings, but I have gotten into 2 or 3 good conversations - apply exponential growth and …?
“excuse me, but do you have a moment to talk about our
lord and saviourbringer of war and famine?”
so, I don’t know. but it feels like its a net positive.
respectfully disagree. its way too easy to normalize every disaster, every lie, every little “we’re all going to die anyway”.
I may be a sick minded outlier, but I am ok with this action and others. there is no damage done (soup on glass and cornflour on rock don’t count) and these people are putting their bodies and freedom on the line to keep people talking about what is likely the single biggest existential risk humanity has faced.in 50k years.
right now, any time this issue is in front of eyeballs (even if tangentially reported) its a win.
“Man to man, you know we can do better [than] Trump.”
that got me, right there. direct. no fluff. makes a statement that you have to think about to challenge.
“how do you remove your hand from a lion’s mouth?”
“very carefully.”
the real insanity is that your excellent observations are being downvoted.
people just have to create their preferred echo chamber any where they are and we all suffer for it.
idk, I think dejoy is your standard sycophantic flunky. whoever has the power gets to tell him what to do and he will do it faithfully.
it is amazing how perceptions are so damn malleable. this particular great filter is going to be weird.
politics has never been logical.
just finished watching the full NABJ interview for the second time. she’s good. I mean, Obama quality good (re: politics, not policy). if she believes what she says (I heard - cuz , the feels) and is able to follow through, she can make a positive difference in this country.
if you have a political fence sitter in your life. please find this interview, watch it and share it.
edit: I have now seen lots of “she so scripted” posts on teh interwebz. pretty sure these are all astrorturf bleed over. watch the video for yourself - I came away satisfied with her as a human being and, potentially, a president. polish does not always mean scripted, my peeps.
it was a good interview for her. due in no small part to some well thought out questions from the hosts.
hard hitting it was not (great questions, but gentle followup), but it gave you a pretty decent view of a caring, thoughtful human being who wants to help.
I actually thought its was not particularly scripted. it seemed to be a genuine conversation with a US presidential candidate. she was careful and generic - no one may want that, but at this moment perhaps it really is her best option.
how her genuine human experience translates into us domestic and foreign policy is a total unknown, but I will always support the human being over an ambulatory orange ego.

just when you are sure this article is going to fluff out on you, it doesn’t.
But how does AI tell when someone is most likely lying? They’re smiling like an American.
I was oddly surprised at how I connected with this article. a useful read in a defining epoch.
if we could actually get them to say this we would be making headway.
