  • The problem with protesting in modern times since social media dominated the majority of our lives is how most show up on a weekend, take photos and a hashtag, then brunch.

    It’s all performative because if people were really serious, then there would constant protesting like how it was done during the Civil Rights era. The closest to a continuous protest we had was Occupy Wallstreet, yet so many fell for the media’s propaganda of it being a bunch of jobless hippies. Same rhetoric that could had described the Civil Rights protestors.

    Don’t blame leadership when it is truly the people who are goddamn selfish and stupid. The final culmination of what Republicans and the owner class wanted out of a populace.










  • Obama was a great president, but has a stain on his legacy as he did nothing to stop the GOP/Trump. He had the intel that Russia was meddling in US politics and did not publicly sound the alarm.

    Did nothing to curb the entertainment show, Fox News, from spreading mis/disinformation.

    Did nothing to address the dark money the NRA was receiving.

    Obama played it too safely for fear of Republicans uniting even more, despite being stonewalled for nearly all judicial appointments/laws.

    Yes, a black man being elected woke up the racists in this country and Republicans, with the help of Russia, capitalized on their fear. But in reality, Corporate Democrats are owned by the same masters as Republicans.

    I applaud her for fighting against the ocean tide. Our clothes are made from slave/child labor as well as most of our electronics. Expecting fellow Microsoft employees who are very comfortable in their position to give that up because of AI killing people?

    I absolutely hate how apathetic the world is. It should never be “that’s the way it is” because we, humans, let it get this far. Are corporations to be blamed, consumers, or both?

    Who’s turn is it to pass the hot potato?
