Retailers jacked up prices and squeezed consumers. They might have just blinked I hope consumers still don't bat many eyelashes because capitalism best practices def looked to squeeze consumers. Record profits, stock markets riding high, rich got even richer, meanwhile ever more people struggle up and down 'main street'.

How the internet created ever more hucksters. Went from door-to-door to screen-to-screen salespeople. Topping things off, if they're growing up okay being influenced by a bot, well aren't we all screwed.

Found the Diapers Over Dems, corporations are people, and school shootings aren't a problem dude.

Blinken saying the quiet part out loud. Tiktok is why people are concerned about the mass slaughter of women and children using our weapons and tax dollars! Damn tiktok and damn those kids!

When a military brands itself "the most humane" military like the IDF has. That already should be a clue as to the marketing and propaganda they've built up for decades and question why the need for branding at all. Systemic abuses, systemic coverups and blank checks given.

This is very on-brand.

Noem can't stop digging the hole she dug herself. Let's hope this is career suicide we're witnessing. And South Dakota had one of the worst death rates in the country during covid thanks to Kristi Noem.

I remember the Daniel Defense (gun maker) ad with a toddler.

Israeli airstrike that killed seven health workers in Lebanon used US munition, analysis reveals Human rights experts say attack was violation of international law, and that US supplying of weapon defies 1997 Leahy law

ext4 unless you need features offered by another FS.

$$$$$ "The 2022 audit, released in November, marked the fifth year the Pentagon had failed its audit (the process started in 2017)."

Jon Stewart blasts ‘corruption’ in Pentagon spending

“Now, I may not understand exactly the ins and outs, and the incredible magic of an audit. But I’m a human being who lives on the Earth and can’t figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps,” Stewart said. “To me, that’s fucking corruption. And I’m sorry. And, if like, that blows your mind and you think that’s like a crazy agenda for me to have, I really think that that’s institutional thinking, and that it’s not looking at the day-to-day reality of the people that you call the greatest fighting force in the world.”>

That there are even billionaires, let alone multi-billionaires. It's an immoral, unethical system that fundamentally exploited labor that allowed for this.

That productivity has gone up but wages have remained stagnant should boil everyone's blood. All the wealth stolen and sent upwards into fewer and fewer hands. Legalized theft by way of capitalism.

Do not forget Bill Clinton, he played a huge role. Essentially fulfilling republican dreams of deregulation by joining hands with them. It's when the Democratic party embraced corporate interests and neoliberalism. Clinton deregulated banking (see Glass-Steagall) which led to the financial crisis and banking/finance today.

Ummm, Israel is committed to indiscriminate violence, the world more than ever before watches in horror. If pro-Israel demonstrations are in full support of this violence, the mass killing of women and children, children dying of famine, the leveling of schools, universities, hospitals. Then that makes their protest pro-violence if they embrace all this death and destruction.

Folks, to sum up this poster: Basically anyone protesting is irrational and stupid.

(I am getting right wingnut republican, maybe even Q anon, vibes)

I've posted this several times and may give some background. Its from Amnesty International (2017):

Israel’s Occupation: 50 Years of Dispossession

For half a century, Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip has resulted in systematic human rights violations against Palestinians living there. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/

Progressives have to fight their own damn party and their corporate interests, it's frustrating.

...after Israeli and US officials have warned of consequences against the ICC...

Don't you do it! Don't you do the right thing and call out the war crimes on display globally!!!

Future textbooks: File under failures of liberal democracies which hastened their decline. Lack of moral compass.

I am glad both MPV and VLC exist.
