Ahh, how could I forget the start of every elementary school day.

I pledge allegiance, to the Brand ™️ , that best represents my interests. And to the echo chamber, where I get my ideas,

Etc etc

Google is doing fine. They don't need more funds.

I was there with you until I realized how gross this approach is. ??? It's not like I am forcing anyone or being pushy. I'm having conversations. The person removed the image by their own volition; I made no reccomendations. I am helping people not become full asshole and critically think when they decided not to. I can make a significantly larger impact on irl relationships than making another online echo chamber. (Also that would take more time away from my irl relationships, not willing to do that.)

Also, yes I do give my views/clicks to what I think should be shared; including Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and many others.

I get where you are coming from, but I don't think that playing their game online with bots and money is going to work out. You play defense on the opposition's turf, and strike elsewhere. Like you already pointed out; social media empires are overrun, people get shadowbanned and worse all the time now.

That Papers Please mod is amazing btw

Well. Go start it then. I'm over here challenging coworkers to actually talk about their beliefs and having confrontations when someone posts hateful stuff. Got someone to remove their anti-gay cover photo a few days ago and think about their messaging. I only have time for interpersonal groundwork, and as much as I'd love to throw it all away and rally behind Greta or someone more nationally active, I have a wife to put before everything else.

That's what I get for making a reference 2 hrs after a 12 hr shift. Oops

They somehow never watched Idiocracy

That is a fair point. This spurred me to do some quick research into global arms dealers and diplomatic relations. Yeah, I'd say the USA is very much enabling Israel to commit genocide. It really grinds me up how nearly anyone who could have become president would have kept the exports going. I suppose if the USA hadn't supplied them, Italy (more specifically Rome) would have been the next most likely arms dealer for Israel. They would have been a lot easier to diplomatically pressure into stopping arms-deals though. Idk whether that would be enough to prevent the genocide, but it would probably have reduced the severity at least.

He, more than anyone else, is why the genocide was able to happen in the first place.

? Pretty bold claim there. I'd say it's Netanyahu, but there was a lot of support from Biden and his administration for sure.

Which is baked into the tax plan. 3 years and the OT tax break goes away. 3 years for companies to skimp on actually raising pay to meet living costs. Then they'll just blame the Dems if they win any seats or stay quiet if they retain majorities.

Ohhhh, I get it. Broke as in, we don't have any money, resouces, safety nets, or morals under the current mindset. Nice.

I'm cis-het and fully intend to go to the pride parade with friends in a different state. It's going to be a great time! Idk why the largest groups feel like they need extra special attention.

My bad. I don't understand most submissive dialects.
