POG Politics Thread Version 3

its been a slow news week.

no executions on the streets

no kidnapped presidents

there is a rumor that trump sent a note to the leader of Denmark saying he was gonna invade greenland cuz Denmark didn't give him the Nobel prize

I saw that the Venezuela lady "gave" him hers

but Moloch cannot be sated

The Canada thing and the Greenland thing got way more news cycle than they should have.

I remember in 2000 bush vs gore, some people were saying that we should elect bush because things will be so bad it will make us rise up and revolt.

like look how bad things are right now, and there is no revolution. at least not yet.

but 25 years of war
patriot act
ice
abortion
cops
prison
inflation
homeless
trillionaires
horrific public education
healthcare

I mean I can't even keep track of it all

Meanwhile for some reason, the birds are still chirping and sun is still shining above me.

Flithy, life is good! Appreciate it. 😀

I just remembered, Goldberry!

Give yourself a point if you know what this refers to.

thanks bud! you're right of course... just sometimes it's hard to appreciate.

agh! it's on the tip of my brain!!!!

I did remember Rosie who worked at the pub. she seemed nice

because you're not personally affected by the fascism that you support.

So what do you suggest? Put on a sad face?

How's your life doing? I hope the sun shines above you too.

On a separate note, did you see any northern lights last night?

you and I don't support trump or the Republicans, but we do plenty to support fascism... sadly. some of the support is even unwilling, but not all of it.

like we make compromises that maybe we shouldn't make.

it's frustrating AF! idk what to do.

Stop supporting the fascism?

it is good to see the black Panthers marching around armed again though

and a general strike on Friday. too bad it's just minnesota. but at least it's something

I saw Minnesota doctors give a press conference how outraged they were that an ice Nazi wouldn't let a doctor treat Renee good. and she had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot.

they should go on strike. imagine all doctors went on strike. but they don't really want change. they like their money, prestige, comfort, and safety. I mean we all do.

I might have posted this before, but that doctor gave up up so easily. the ice Nazi said "you can't treat her" and the Dr just gave up! lmao... what a ****ing lame ass

just say something like "I'm a doctor. she's dying. you're going to have physically force a doctor to stop from trying to save that dying woman. on video. I'm going to help her. do what you have to do"

People's happiness is correlated to how happy they think they are

Cosplayers and Feds imo

you think they are feds????? wow, that didn't even occur to me.

I saw one interaction where the panther was yelling at a cop about what a ****ing sellout POS slave catcher he is. if that was a fed, then my fed detector is completely busted.

cosplayers, maybe. but **** man, even a cosplayer is something. like 20 black men openly carrying rifles is gonna slow down ice Nazis.

Remember COINTELPRO? Black Panthers was always full of Feds.

yeah true

but it was also full of real ones

when I hear a Fred Hampton talking then I will know there are Panthers

crazy that Fred Hampton was so young, and that kind of leadership and coalition building

I think he was only 21 when he was assassinated

You've done it. I'm convinced. I've seen the light!

Besides adjusting my blathering in this thread:

Start voting for California's communist leaders
Subscribe to Common Dreams
Switch from watching Gutfeld to Rachel Maddow
Maybe open a daycare center
Replace the Ten Commandments with Filthy's list of utopian wishes
MAGA now stands for Make America Go Away

Wow, yeah that sure does make things better! :p

so close! maddow is a fascist

but maybe I should come up with filthy's ten commandments
