Exactly this. We’ve tried it the peaceful way. We’ve tried to get them to view us as human and not a payday but it didn’t work! If they don’t listen peacefully, what other options are there? Sit down and take it and die in pain and debt or stand up and fight!
That's how it goes with people who have run out of options. Who keep getting kicked when they're down. Occupy wall street went nowhere. Things keep getting worse. We grasp at straws for any hero we can when all with power are villains. Complain all you want, we were pushed to this point.

The disparity of the wealthy and the poor is at the levels of the highest in 500 years. History is just repeating itself
I get the well-deserved vitriol directed at cruel and greedy insurance companies for taking our money and DENYING benefits when we (or our loved ones) need them most. That shit needs to stop.
What I don't get is the hero worship of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered the UHC CEO.

You don’t understand how people who have been oppressed and exploited and killed by the healthcare system in the US view the assassin of one of the heartless, greedy CEOs as a hero? Do you understand nothing of history or even literature? LMAO

I have literally been laying in the living room listening to the Wicked soundtrack all day. I forgot my love for the story and the show. I forgot myself.

Been the vibe since 2016.
Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

The worse part of growing up and developing intellect is realizing everything you were taught in school about the United States was fucking propaganda because if the US was as great as they told us it was, there wouldn’t be a president-elect who’s above the law nominating an AG who’s above the law.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

I am unreasonably sad about Liam Payne’s funeral. Like, I didn’t know this guy! I got into One Direction after they broke up, why do I care so much??? Having hyper-empathy autism sucks. I also think this is triggering my C-PTSD a bit since grief can trigger grief. I am so dysregulated right now.

My FYPs on Twitter and TikTok are like: One Direction/Liam Payne funeral, hot ass High Jackman, Spirk/Star Trek fandom meltdown/discourse. Talk about whiplash, Jesus.

In the middle of my Stargate: SG-1 rewatch and I just realized that Season 4 Episode 12: Tangent, is Stargate’s Apollo 13 lmao I wonder if the episode was inspired by it.

Please consider not watching (or appearing on) Morning Joe ever again. Easy decision for me since I never liked it anyway. Sucking up to a psychopath should be a deal breaker.

- being rude
- being obtuse
- trying to annoy you
- whatever ableist slur you are throwing at them
They are :

It's not about you, don't take it personally, just explain.

I’m sorry… LeBron James is only 39???? (I just googled and just realized how young he was when he was drafted into the NBA lol) this man is 8 years older than me and has been in the NBA since I was in elementary school.
39-year-old LeBron James is the oldest player in NBA history to record 3 straight triple-doubles.
The previous oldest player was 34-year-old LeBron James.

God how I wish it were a fad. If AI has no haters then I’m dead.
Saw some “AI is a fad just like crypto” posts here yesterday and…no. Not even a little bit.
