You mean despite of Christianity.

The book is bigger than at its base. Our society cannot progress without removing it from a focal point.

Of course they want you to use their shops. That way they can charge whatever price they want.

It's the same reason McDonald's ice cream machines are always down.

Not even real money, tech bro phantom bullshit.

This.

Taking the stance that voting alone isn't enough and that we need direct action like the Labor, Civil Rights, and Women's Suffrage movements to accomplish change isn't the Right side of the aisle.

The folks who insist that electoralism will save us are misguided.

That said, as someone who votes down ballot anyways I'm going to vote for the farthest left candidate that can win. I can't find a compelling reason not to vote as a leftist. Then again, I can do it absentee in my state and my polling place doesn't have huge lines.

Good to see more people are understanding how anti-consumer our digital distribution laws are. Sucks they had to find out this way, but people have been warning of this for years.

And when you look at how Israel is basically fascist when it comes to Palestine and Biden has backed them unconditionally it blurs the lines even more.

But lives overseas don't matter as much as American lives to most of the US.

Is Trump worse? Hell yes. Is Biden good? No.

It doesn't need to kill them to completely disrupt social order. There's an estimate out there that there will be up to 1 billion climate refugees by 2050. The Global North already does not handle refugees as well, even though they consistently cause a large amount of the refugee problems.

No, they are absolutely not the biggest, unless you're talking about classic liberalism instead of something like the Democratic Party. The messaging of the GOP and right in the US is far more opposed to solidarity than anything else.

There is far more participation in unions in Blue states. Union members are also more likely to be Democratic voters.

That said, the Democratic Party doesn't push working class solidarity either, they're just not as openly opposed to it.

Successful social movements requires messaging that can reach the lowest common denominator.

Seriously, how do you have a worse battle pass for a full price game than Fortnite does? It's pretty pathetic.

Thanks for pointing this out! I was already using Firefox, but after looking this up I found out that they also got rid of him for being homophobic.

Firefox it is!
