‘A dying empire led by bad people’: Poll finds young voters despairing over US politics | Semafor (www.semafor.com)

Young voters overwhelmingly believe that almost all politicians are corrupt and that the country will end up worse off than when they were born, according to new polling from Democratic firm Blueprint obtained exclusively by Semafor....

stabby_cicada,

Looks like it but I don’t know. The site I stole it from had already removed any signature, if there was one.

And this is why Food Not Bombs refuses to ask for permits before feeding the hungry or holding demonstrations. If the government authorizes you to protest, the government holds authority over your protests.

Later that year, Al-Din visited Hinkle in LA and pitched him on what he calls his take on Marxism-Leninism: Maga communism, which envisions harnessing the populist, nationalist fervor of Trump’s base in pursuit of a working-class revolution.

I’ve seen this movie before and I didn’t like the ending.

It is to turn a fascist society into one that does not need them, one where it is effective to engage in social works and to collaborate with public institutions.

And we don’t actually live in that society yet, and therefore protesting, feeding people, helping drug addicts, and doing odd jobs for your neighbors all remain punk af.

JFC. Selling food without a permit is illegal. Doing most home repairs without a license and permit is illegal. If I install a set of solar panels for my neighbor and she pays me in raw milk and eggs we could both be arrested. Don’t tell me helping your community isn’t punk.

stabby_cicada,

Nothing is more punk than food not bombs. It’s just feeding everyone who shows up whether the government likes it or not.

Yes, and, Food Not Bombs is a great example to bring up, because they don’t only feed everyone, they also share literature and talk politics and organize community action. From FNB’s how to guide:

Your meal is not a Food Not Bombs meal if you don’t provide literature and display a banner. Otherwise the public will think you are a church and have the impression your group believes that our political and economic system is fine and that all we need to do is care for those who are not able to make it. We are not a charity, we are seeking to build a movemnet to end the exploitation of the economic and political system.

I think very few orgs do “the personal is political” better than FNB.

stabby_cicada,

Is the point of charity to feed the hungry or to let rich people feel good about themselves?

It doesn’t matter to the hungry person if the food they eat was paid for by taxes or voluntary charity. Food is food.

stabby_cicada,

It doesn’t mean anything to whom?

Cause I bet it means a lot to the people who need food and shelter.

stabby_cicada,

The meme says “force you via taxes”. And Jesus Christ Himself told people to pay their taxes.

stabby_cicada,

He feels he’s using objective logic and data. And feelings don’t care about your facts.

stabby_cicada,

Your “concrete statement” was false. 2024 is not a “proper year” - it is in fact on track to be the hottest ever. Again.

I no longer have the patience to debate blatant climate falsehoods seriously. If you want respectful responses to your comments, respect your audience and don’t make objectively false claims.
