Any more excuses to throw around? Maybe kids need to go to soccer practice or something?

I’m sure that’s why they didn’t turn out in January or in May. Because somehow none of them can arrange for one parent to show up or have one friend babysit all the kids or realize that their kids bodies are going to be on the line anyway.

And you are proving my point.

The really terrible MAGAs, as we are learning, are men in their 20-30s, but somehow they’ve always been given a free pass.

I genuinely have no idea if that’s what the person you are responding to said, because they made a point of blocking me, but I suspect it’s something of that nature.

White women are the source of all evil and can be verbally berated whenever they try to join in things. Also, white women are completely evil because they don’t agree with us!

It’s almost like disparaging a group makes them less likely to join in.

Hard isn’t impossible, and elderly have other concerns, like restroom access and difficulties walking long distances.

Zwitterion @zwitterion.bsky.social · 23d

For all leftists claim otherwise, Americans are very comfortable- food & shelter, most ppl’s primary concerns throughout history, are widely available. Psychological benefits are tangible ones.

The base isn’t going to leave bc they were never hurting to begin with.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

The good news is, you can bring kids to protests!
I’d be more forgiving of them were we not coasting on stereotypes of how terrible the olds are. When tons of older ppl come out, we should start cracking down on the rhetoric against them & start deploying it against ppl who ought to be involved.

There have been a ton of them at all the ones I’ve seen.
IMO, the stereotype that they’re not there is because there’s a lot of young lefties who figured out you can get away with all the misogyny so long as you add the word “white” to it.
Pity those young people aren’t protesting, of course.

He might not have had to ask the Archbishop. A *lot* of priests in that area know the Pope. There’s good reason to do that in Chicago & not elsewhere.

(Source: Friend-of-a-friend was training to be a priest & lived a few doors down from the Pope. I think he still has the Pope’s number.)

those core values aren’t just magically going to implant themselves in Americans’ heads, we have to argue for them. but a lot of people have found there’s more social cachet in sneering at them instead. it’s disgusting

I would like to see protestors shouting phrases such as “WE are what is great about America!!!” Or
“We ARE America!!” Or anything along those lines. The right keeps chanting “USA USA”. We need something like that.

I’m in total agreement with you. Israel wasn’t going to make a truce under any Dem, bc that wouldn’t benefit Netenyahu.

Knowing about Iran isn’t the same as knowing about internal American politics. In fact, it’s even *more* likely they’ll have a distorted view of the situation.

Okay, you don’t understand accelerationism. Good to know. Now we can ignore your opinions. Muted.

Because a historian is trained differently from someone who does intersectional theory and because degrees matter.

I got an iTouch in the late ‘00s & I remember even the static bus schedule app being mind blowing. When I got an iPhone & could look at bus schedule in real time, it was a massive upgrade.
