Okay I know it’s beautiful, I know, but here’s the thing: it’s a trap. Because that’s almost definitely like 600% a kelpie, and if you touch it it will drag you into a river and eat you.
Yup. It’s not any different from the norm, people die because they’re too poor to afford medical care all the time.
Except now it’s obvious. Plain as day for everyone to see, and about half of the people in the US are in serious trouble at the same time. No fiction that “they’re poor because they did something wrong and thus ‘deserve it’.”
Before this, the average person couldn’t afford an unexpected $500 emergency, well guess what’s happening right now to everyone at the same time?
paying everyone who normally makes under X amount per year $1500 2x/month until things improve
cancelling student loan and medical debt
forcing credit card companies to reduce interest rates to less than 5%
radically raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for it all
The capitalist parties would rather sacrifice human lives.
To many liberal and conservative capitalists we’ve already hit the limits of what’s possible. The idea that corporations, stockholders and wealthy people might have to make significant sacrifices during this crisis is unthinkable, and apparently the ultimate moral good, the ethical standard against which everything else must be measured.
Right now your life is being measured against the privileges of wealth, and wealth might be winning.
Andrew Cuomo is asking people to consider sacrificing themselves for the sake of the economy
Nancy Pelosi blocked a bill that would give people immediate aid. Chuck Schumer outflanked Republicans from the right with his relief proposal.
It’s not just Republicans. Neither of the capitalist parties care about you, they care about their corporate buddies, billionaire donors, and stocks. Don’t let one side off the hook.
Honestly, I can’t do anything about this because trump supporters have dragged us all to the edge with their cult.
But I do insist that all of them go first in this sacrifice. Every single trump supporter should go back to work and make sure not to use any hospital or medical services after they do. It’s what the market wants.
Pretty sure eating live bats, mice and toads bought from wetmarkets swimming in filth, guts and congealed exotic animal blood for the sake of superstition and spiritual faith in “traditional medicine” and “chi” is the virus, and the previous virus too, but go off I guess?
Man, there are racists, and then there are REALLY STUPID racists.
God, reading about this clown convention was fucking jarring
Lee added darkly: “They’re talking about having the government become
your healthcare provider, your banker, your nanny, your watchdog. Having
the government lie to you and spy on you and requiring the government
to force you to work months out of every single year. In a word, the
Democratic party has become the party of socialism. I don’t think we’re
ready for that and I know you aren’t.”
Having the government lie to you and spy on you and requiring you to
work months out of every single year" this guy doesn’t know what
capitalism is like for the rest of us
like, I hear under socialism they’ll make you work several of the months in the year, can you imagine?

O’Donovan, from Aiken, South Carolina, turned up wearing a “Trump” cap
and a Santa Claus costume – a hobby of his. “Santa gave things at
Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. These people want us
to give everything from cradle to grave and it can’t be done. We can’t
print money.”
I’m not even sure if he’s sure what he’s talking about
Brush up on your opsec and get your comrades the fuck off of fedbook. We can’t afford to hand these people a curated list of leftist activists on a silver platter
But it should be obvious that all the privacy tools in the world can’t keep your info safe if you type it in a text bar on fedbook.gov and send it off to their servers. And remember, nothing online is as secure as face-to-face communication (with your phones turned off or left at home)
What could bring a city/country to it’s knees faster? Collectively withholding our labor is the most powerful thing we can do right now in order to save our lives and those of our grandparents. Let’s spread this!
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
