Sentence describes a disturbing percentage of European history
What if the mold in her house just reached out and tripped her down some stairs
The only way for the national flag - the emblem of the state - to belong to the people is if the government of that nation also actually belongs to the people.
Which in a liberal democracy it does not and the state acts according to the whim of capital.
Fact: the flag is being worn by the cops who serve the government that serves international capitalism. Who, in all practical sense of ownership, does the flag belong to?
Getting huffed about somebody burning your country's flag is like getting mad at someone for destroying a copy of your wife's boyfriend's wristwatch.
Personally I'd wait until the jack booted thugs of authority are no longer festooning themselves with a symbol before debating whether it's vulgar to symbolically trash the symbol of said reactionary goons.
The real reason why Macron got slapped
Might as well be, they earned it.
Among the many vectors of attack against Medicare for All my personal favorite was the "but think of all the insurance jobs we'd lose if we put the insurance industry out of business."
Which as they come was memorable because A) it was so cynical and brazen and B) it contained them fully admitting a public option would bankrupt them, which is 100% unvarnished truth from a nest of vipers. Nice!
Anyways back to the idea that giving people healthcare is actually immoral because it takes a job out of the mouth of the working American.
Just imagine. Imagine for a minute. Imagine if we indulged these batshit conservative ghouls for a month. Imagine if everyone took "personal responsibility" and dialed back our consumer spending on anything unhealthy.
This country makes unhealthy shit like its real goal is to manufacture bad health outcomes. It's brazen. If we boycotted bad shit there'd be nothing to buy! So boo hoo and sorry for all the workers at Nestlé or Con Agra or whatever if such an event comes to pass. Whole industries would heave and collapse like mountain ranges. Rip, bozos.
What a lovely surprise, you get to do a job that can make the world better, and they get a dedicated communist shitposter as a worker
They apportioned the kinetic quid pro quo and determined the hostile sitrep commandeered an overwhelming display of force in order to non violently pacificationalize the body politic
Capitalism did it with film too. Priceless records destroyed so they could save a buck. Films from that age lost forever.
Games luckily are insured against the kind of physical degradation of a reel of film. But there's a parallel within modern history for what's going on.
And with games it gets extra funny because playing old games requires you to learn how they work which teaches you that valuable non-app computer experience they claim kids need while jamming an iPad into every hand.
So uh "learn to code" or whatever. Dumbass system. Glad people are trying to save digital media.
What's not terrorism: forcing people to work and consume treats while dealing with the stress and fear and... there's another T word I'm thinking of. Because if you don't the economy crashes and ruins you and your children's lives. Generational wealth has been on the ticket the last few "recessions" (depressions, by all rational measure). Technically you could say they're threatening your kids with the trevails of poverty and the grim statistics. I mean there's no guy in a balaclava or banner on the wall behind them. So it's definitely not terrorism. But they're kinda threatening you. And using fear. For political reasons.
Anyways where am I. Is this Wendy's? I need to deliver a burger to a dude's apartment where he's writing an op-ed about the intangible and integral spirit of Office Culture in America and why we should end work-from-home.
I hope Marco Rubio is killed and eaten by Clifford the Big Red Dog so he gets eaten, digested, pooped out, eaten again, thrown up, and eaten again
