We live on a planet where the country that overthrew Iran's democracy in 1953 is "concerned about Iranian authoritarianism."
Where the country that funded Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons program in the 1980s launched a war in 2003 to remove Saddam Hussein for having chemical weapons.
Where the country that armed, trained, and created the conditions for the Taliban spent twenty years fighting the Taliban.
Where the country that sanctioned Iraq through the 1990s, killing an estimated 500,000 children through the denial of medicine and food, a number Madeleine Albright called "worth it" on national television, explained that it was doing so because it cared about the Iraqi people.
I am not asking you to hate America.
I am asking you to read the sentences above without looking away, and then tell me, with a straight face, that the question is whether to believe them.
It turns out Flock Safety Cameras love and demand privacy, but only for themselves and their employees
- Flock business location says you can’t film
- Flock moved locations but they instructed the old building to not give out their location to anyone asking
- Security guard at Flock building says he doesn’t consent to being filmed and he doesn’t want to be “under surveillance”
Here’s where it gets really crazy
- The new flock building is identified but they won’t put their name on the building, or on any of the building signs
- Security won’t confirm Flock is in the building
- No one is allowed to film, no one is even allowed to access any floors in the building
Flock demands extremely privacy, but only for themselves
Americans must be under surveillance but for them, you can’t even film outside an old building…. Amazing….
Death doesn’t absolve horrible people from their heinous acts.
Nobody owes zionists, transphobes and homophobes any sympathy.
You all turned a suicide of a trans kid into a meme and use your platforms and position of power to push more into it.
Since Flock loves to track our locations, it only seems fair that we know theirs.
Flock Safety's new GA plant is located at 1885 Mitchell Rd, Smyrna, GA 30082
Flock went to great lengths to keep that address hidden.
That probably means it should be public info.
The advice for the housing crisis is get roommates.
The advice for grocery costs is cook at home.
The advice for the commute is move closer to work.
The advice for debt is cut spending.
The advice for burnout is find balance.
None of these are solutions.
They are instructions for how to be poor more quietly.
“The 2nd amendment exists so Americans can stand up to a tyrannical government!”
Meanwhile this is how Americans use their guns instead of overthrowing the Epstein regime
Capitalism be like “okay hear me out. what if instead of living in a nice safe world where everyone's basic needs are met, we live in a bad dangerous world where most people can barely feed themselves but two people have like 500 yachts”
BOOMER: "I fed my family of four on $30 a week back in 1970."
ME: "That's $230 adjusted for inflation."
BOOMER: "Exactly. You should be able to do the same."
ME: "Groceries for my family of four are $400 a week now."
BOOMER: "You're just buying expensive stuff."
ME: "I'm buying the same basic food. Milk, bread, chicken, vegetables."
BOOMER: "Well wages must be higher too."
ME: "My job pays $50,000. Yours paid $35,000 in 1970. Adjusted that's $270,000."
BOOMER: "That can't be right."
ME: "It is. Your salary grew with inflation. Food prices grew faster."
BOOMER: "You're just complaining."
ME: "You're just not looking at the math."
You didn't have better budgeting skills. You had wages that kept up with the cost of living.
Mine don't.
The US loves to boast about how wealthy it is, but its wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
US oligarchs are so insanely rich that they make average wealth seem very high.
But *median* wealth in the US is lower than in Slovenia & Portugal, and half of Italy's
i just want a peaceful life with my partner and our pets but oh wait! here comes israel and data centres ramping up global warming and surveillance goggles to prey on women and children
FOR THE RECORD
While voting nearly exclusively for centrist dems we got:
- Roe overturned
- VRA gutted
- Increased attacks on LGBTQ
- Citizens murdered by ICE
- DEI and affirmative action ended
- Witnessed genocide
Centrists are not it, boss.
We're fucking shaking things up.
communists definitely need to develop informal networks to help comrades get jobs. that’s real mutual aid. like Trump is basically using ICE as a jobs program for people who were street fascists during the 2010s because he knows rewarding and taking care of your people is important. back in the day every politician and organization knew this.
