Subjectively, I commented on how calm and pleasant a couple of my social medias had been before reading the news about 14 hours after the strike.

The current post-covid slump is worse than the Great Depression, and has similarly lead to wars and deaths comparable to WW2 combat casualties (not holocaust/pogrom level cleansing yet, although Israel, China and US/ICE have made some respectable efforts).

Vietnam was 20 years long, but the Ukraine war is already comparable in number of casualties.

Gen X Iraq is comparable to the war in Afghanistan.

But I’ll give the Greatest Generation some leeway, the Spanish Influenza was much deadlier than Covid, and they also had to live through the two world wars. That’s comparable to the Millennial experience (especially if we include HIV/AIDS pandemic), and we don’t yet know if the Millennials will experience a similar subsequent rise in life quality and wealth accumulation.

The millennials did/do have it bad, but more worryingly they’re only the first to have it worse than their parent generation.

Gen Z have lived through almost as much, and have plenty more coming.

Gen Alpha might be the last generation to experience the weather patterns that built the current world order.

The way I understand the deal is that it’s no great concession to release some diesel reserves over a winter with high diesel prices.

But it’s disconcerting that it’s done at the behest and benefit of US internal politics to cover for shitty US international politics.

When the US reneges on any long term deal, I sure hope the EU got their worth in a short term deal.

A subsequent government could quite reasonably decide that rebuilding a stable, mutually beneficial trading relationship with Canada is in the US interest.

They could, but at any time another president can tear that agreement up and start another trade war. That’s the whole issue — the US can no longer be trusted to adhere to agreements beyond 2/4 years.

If you can’t trust a treaty to hold over time/presidents, each fair deal must be immediately transactional.

The Trump deal was already worse than the previous one, a new one will need be even worse.

Just goes to show how much the FIFA peace prize is worth!

Lol, you know this is an example of abuser language?

It’s entirely reasonable to expect someone to hold themselves accountable to sort their own shit (and/or ask for help) while respecting the people around them.

Toddlers get away with having tantrums because they aren’t matured yet. We expect better from about the age of 7…

Delayed due to ICE and/or protests, or maybe they’re out trying to drum up a bribe inb4 being sued by the satsuma in charge.

General strike, demonstrations where they can’t be ignored, organised resistance, organised campaigning, even striking in solidarity with others.

Oh. You’re all struggling too much to be able to do that?

That’s you being oppressed, and you could organise against that: you could organise war chests for striking, unionise to regain rights, vote or campaign for actual peoples representation rather than corporate such, build resilient communities, picket biased media, organise or join collective action, prosecute and pressure corrupt politicians, counter lobbies, educating yourself and others, etc.

Gather neighbours, save funds, support eachother, resist where you can and coordinate with others to have a greater impact.

But most aren’t going to, cus there’s always someone else to blame, someone else that should save the day. And while you’re passing blame, the fascists consolidate, divide and terrorise, both your domestic neighbours and international friends. Leaving you more vulnerable, more isolated, and with less and less support to resist or survive.

I’m more interested in knowing if this leads to any difference in treatment and reception in the correctional facility. I don’t care if they think they’re making some kind of point going out in drag, it’s functionally indistinguishable from being trans and an excellent point in favor of the law treating people equally, as well as gender being a construct.

I’m guessing being disingenuous is rather going to bite them in corrections, and hope she’ll find a constructive way to approach themselves and society in corrections.
