If the governments job isn’t to secure even basic shit like clean drinking water for its citizens, what’s its actual purpose?! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUR TAXES PAYING FOR
No matter how much time passes, I think getting one-shot by a white Mormon kid while blaming gun violence on black people will forever be the worst debate loss. It will never get worse than that. Ever.
Your United States Congress saw a big jar of this water this week, and declined to help. Same people that cut SNAP and Medicaid.

the advertisement industry is maybe one of the biggest leeches on society at this point. just sucking in "excess" capital from inflated commodity pricing and destroying public spaces with every nickel
Robert Wyland has painted over 100 whale murals. Detroit whale watchers rejoice when advertisements come down & the whales are visible again. His Dallas mural was not as lucky. It was recently painted over for ad space ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

His books were readily available to read in USSR. They were studied as any ideologies would be studied.
There is a great story Michael Parenti used to tell about a trip he took to USSR. He was with a bunch of American academics, who had been talking down on the Soviets and the censorship they guessed they had been under.
When one of them asked a Soviet academic which western theorists he’d read, he rattled off a long list, which both Friedman and Hayek were on. The Soviet then asked the American which Soviet theorists he’d been able to read.
And the American couldn’t list a single one.
That story is a perfect encapsulation of how real, effective censorship works. You’re not outright forbidden to read. You are, instead, gaslit into it with billions of dollars worth of propaganda, information marginalization, distortion, and lies.
This is why you still find people today who believe in cartoons, rather than simply opening their eyes and looking at the real world, who retreat into safe abstractions rather than face the cold, hard reality that we are the most propagandized, socially engineered, and brain washed people in history.
American politicians are embezzling taxpayer money through israel. They are using israel as a mean of enriching themselves, they aren't "controlled by israel."
