I think anyone to the left of Biden taking guns to protests is risking their life but armed right wing nutbags never seem to get beaten and killed at protests.

Thank you for the kind thoughts. It’s been pretty rough lately. Try to keep your head up :)

Tbc, I dont know the most appropriate solution either

I general strike would be a good first step. It would be very painful and risky given how many folks live paycheck to paycheck and how we have almost no social safety net, but it’s safer and more realistic than everyone trying to go full Rambo or Red Dawn.

Remember at the start of COVID when we didn’t know how it spread and people were disinfecting their groceries and the feds and the bosses wanted everyone to keep working? It was only when the flight attendants threatened to strike and shut down air travel that they finally relented.

One side is trying to convince themselves that we’re not in a civil war and just an election away from getting everything back to normal. We’ve been in a cold civil war for at least a decade and it’s getting hot.

Only 47% think it has major problems? Is that because the remaining 53% don’t get to experience any healthcare at all?

So if I call an Uber and it’s a Tesla, it’s my fault if I can’t escape after a crash cuz I didn’t RTFM?

They should have kept booing until he was forced to leave. Nothing gets to proceed in the presence of Nazis. And if that means the show is canceled or ruined, so be it. We’ve already had far worse things ruined this week.
