Yeah, one time is a lesson. I'm more talking about the kids that are bullied for years, ostracized, and yes punished for the pleasure of being beat and humiliated multiple times a day. It happens in every school unless action is taken to stop it. Those kids? Those are the ones being radicalized.

Air yeah, water though. We absolutely rent water. My point though is that we're already used to paying a monthly sum to exist.

Yup. We had a couple moments but we never exploited them to prevent capitalists from turning themselves into nobles in all but name.

Oh yeah 3/4 examples are below a million. So it must be that one high outlier, that's also actually working.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

There have been plenty of more modern examples given as well. At this point you're just willingly ignoring them

Yeah, just miss that order of magnitude in the middle there.

The first amendment doesn't apply to Christian evangelism.

According to SCOTUS at any rate.

For fuck's sake in ten years we're going to hear kids tell us the Constitution was given to us by Jesus.

Yeah, it is generally considered to be a bad thing.

You need to start adding a zero to get numbers that change things. The abortion rights marches have absolutely changed stuff. The Republicans refuse to admit they ever had anything to do with getting rid of abortion and abortion rights have won in all 7 states that already voted on it. Now they're on the ballot in 11 states for November.

When you get enough people, and it's not some nebulous idea like gun violence, stuff actually happens.

Those weren't enough people and you can't protest an idea the way occupy protested greed. It just didn't work. When you look at the pictures of places that have done this they have completely filled the streets, to the point there is no controlling the crowd.

Filling a park or a "free speech zone" isn't going to do it.

 

Here we go again.

 

The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
