And he delivered. López Obrador’s government doubled the minimum wage in real terms, while expanding social programmes and cash transfers for pensioners and the young, among others. It clamped down on the practice of outsourcing workers to avoid paying benefits and legislated that union contracts be put to democratic votes.

Carlos Slim sold TracFone in 2020? Answers a lot.

I wanted to post a quote, but the whole article was worthy.

Oh, I see. It’s different when it’s us.

It doesn’t take a tankie to recognize rank hypocrisy. It does take honesty.

I don’t want another enlightened Westerner to say anything about DPRK or Stalin when they excuse our own complicity in this.

But wait! There’s more!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah_(Leonard_Cohen_song)#%3A~%3Atext=11+External+links-%2CHistory%2Cversions+of+the+same+line.

Cohen is reputed to have written between 80[7] and 180[8] draft verses for “Hallelujah”—a number affected by having many versions of the same line.[9] He claimed 150 draft verses, substantiated by his notebooks containing manifold revisions and additions, and by contemporary interviews.[10] In a writing session in New York’s Royalton Hotel, Cohen is famously said to have been reduced to sitting on the floor in his underwear, filling notebooks, banging his head on the floor.

I know this because I love that song and was obsessed with it for a year or two.

Maybe. Maybe not. Do you prefer the sexual partner that is openly more chaotic/messy, occasionally abusive or the one that has a few normal character flaws but is otherwise wonderful, until one day you have a fever, open sores on your generalis while being completely monogamous, then get diagnosed with hsv, syphilis, antibiotic -resistant gonorrhea, and HIV with a very low t-cell count?

That said both sides probably over exaggerate the accusations and understate accomplishments of each other and reverse that for and their own.

Oh. Well. I couldn’t find the article I mentioned but one of the bullet points by op said “there’s no ‘too right’ when organizing.” Obviously I immediately recoiled, but I thought about it. 1. Due to over a hundred years of heavy propagandizing United States citizens against anything slightly left of center, the public will recoil more readily to anyone branded "radical leftist/communist/socialist” while embracing the most vile Nazis. We need to stamp out the labels while organizing and focus on the people and their needs. For instance, IRL, I’ve never spoken to a (poor) teaparty or farther right voter who disagrees that our taxes shouldn’t be used to fund roads, schools, health, rather that these things were reserved for wealthy areas while we who feed the nation languish. Framing matters.

For that reason, we’re more likely to see people willing to commit treason with gallows rather than guillotines. I’d prefer due process, but we’re frankly running out of time for organizing, let alone due process.

At some point, violence will be unavoidale. That doesn’t mean unadulterated bloodlust has to be.

What’s your suggestion? AOC doesn’t seem corporatist.

So what? We just continue as usual? I remember an article posted yesterday about unionizing that said we need activists on board, even if we find their views farther right than we prefer. I don’t find it particularly appealing, but the time for complaining and doing nothing differently.

I’ll see if I saved the link and post it if I did. I meant to, but I’m a little tired and dealing with other issues rn

We’re not giving up our right to self-defense, and can work with David Hogg to elect progressive Democrats and make comprehensive health care, including mental, and other appropriate social programs in place to address unnecessary violence.

I mean, it depends on who in the admin you ask.

Just wondering when it was ever mask on?

Psych tricks were there since Bernays “torches of freedom” to sucker women into nicotine addiction like the men.

Lol. Pre-annoyed with options, hold time and battery life. I’m human. I’ve got plenty of work to do with myself.

I think consciously cuing the subconscious is key. Verbally, aloud is how I do it, but other ways may work, I just don’t know them.

When this happens to me, I ask my subconscious to talk to me. Sometimes it does when I fall asleep again in very explicit and usually symbolic, but easy to instantly understand dreams. It’s been… wild. And liberating, when I do the healing work.

It was Metallica.

Edit: Metallica killed Napster, the others didn’t want a lawsuit, Kim Dotcom… Yeah that’s a saga
