!Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace.!<

Probably Kevin McCallister, since he's the only kid that showed any aptitude for fending off intruders in those movies. Close second would be Buzz's girlfriend though.

Last August, the podcast Behind the Bastards did a great two-parter on "How the Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win". The focus was on pre-WW2, but it has obvious parallels to today. I highly recommend it, but the long and short of it is that legitimizing and platforming horrible but popular people was a good business strategy for news outlets, since they could appear "unbiased" and court interviews with said horrible people.

Thanks I'm doing fine so far but I feel like it's a matter of time.

My wife texted our friends at 4 am to let everyone know we're cancelling our new year's party because she's sick as shit. So my plan is to take care of her, watch the kids, and wait for the rest of us to inevitably start puking our guts out.

TBF I misread the storage originally and went with all SSD, so the price should be about a thousand less. Here's the part list for anyone who wants to check my work: https://newegg.io/6d2b327

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but does the average American voter see it this way, or do they judge him based on his demeanor and the things he says?

In 9999, this meme will be problematic because it assumes the entire galaxy conforms to an Earth-based calendar system.

Nah, the bigot vote isn't nearly as important as the fact that people are sick of establishment politicians. People want change and they see that in Trump but not in Harris.

I was just sharing where in the article it said even though the game came out in 2022, the update regarding the 10/7 attack released earlier this year.

This past November, the game released an update called “Operation al-Aqsa Flood,” in which the fighters paraglide into an IDF military base.

Your right wing friends and family - their lived experience has proven that the system doesn't work for them, and they're rightfully pissed off.

My Trump loving relatives used to be Bernie supporters. If you can speak to what they already know - that our country is failing them and we need real change - they'll realize that we all have a lot more in common than the establishment gives us credit for.

Bernie has been speaking truth to power on this longer than I've been alive, which is why the ruling class killed both his presidential campaigns.

Now, we're seeing the logical conclusion that plays out when people feel like there's no way to win this fight at the polls.

That's true, but the opposition has shown their strategy already: to redirect public unrest towards marginalized groups and social policies, and away from the bourgeoisie. The result is right-leaning people getting captured in a funnel that starts with "society is too woke" and ends in full blown fascism.

So how do we counter it? By maintaining a grassroots effort to bring people out of that funnel by showing worker solidarity and uniting against the ruling class.

If you push someone away because they voted for the wrong candidate or don't agree with you on some social cause, some fascist talking head on YouTube will be right there to swoop them up.

The sooner we realize the "left vs right" battle is a facade put up to distract and divide us, the sooner we realize what terrifies the upper class: we're much stronger together.

Unless you're a Nazi, then you can get fucked.

Wow, that's some real detective work!

What a fucked up country where if you want to murder someone, all you need to do is harass them relentlessly for days beforehand so when they eventually try to protect themselves you can shoot them and claim self defense.

Of course not. Hypocrisy is part of the Republican playbook.
