#leftish Moved to Chicago because of Nelson Algren. I've been a skinhead (not the nazi skinheads, the original kids-Flesheaters, X, Bad Religion, MDC), a writer, a designer. I've been very poor, on Welfare, then middle class, now on SSDI

Couldn’t he be arrested for violating the Posse Comitatus clause of the Constitution?

I see a diversity of opinion all over Blue Sky within a leftish frame (example : you and AOC have very different opinions)
But I don’t profit from the opinions of flatearthers or fascist apologetics or manosphere fragility so they can stick to Twitter or Truth Social for all I care.

How is Truth Social surviving without any alternative viewpoints? Or OAN? Or Info Wars?
Is this just more bs?

I’d vote for Sweet Child of Mine or Passion. Also I would vote for Judas Priest’s Diamonds and Rust. Maybe I’m just old.

Okay but you’re missing my point. People in America treat Marx like a boggart, not like a real person.
And according to Richard Wolff communist states practice/d state capitalism. A communist state would have no central government and people would control the means of production. Never happened

with the accusation of marxism, when absolutely no one in the audience has read any part of Das Kapital or understands its precepts, but they all know that "marxism is bad, mkay?"
I smell bullshit.

Mom said Get out and get the smell off you. But be home by six or we’ll eat without you.

Uncomfortable fact. 67 % of democrats oppose it too according to a NYT poll.

If you are a single person, like a widow or a confirmed bachelor, you are forced to overconsume. Ex: I need a couple of stalks of celery and can't really use any more, but I have to buy an entire head, where I wind up tossing most of it. Same with bags of spinach or deli salads.

More importantly, what are evangelical X-ians gonna say? When I attended a Charismatic (Pentacostal) church, Catholics were called a cult. Some even equate the Vatican with the Whore of Babylon.

Luddite here. How are you going to get robots to unionize. They are the reason productivity is up.
What if we just made a rule like any company that uses a majority of robot "labor" has to pay a full 70% of the profits to the government to bring about UBI?

I'm guessing even a MAGA kid doesn't have or expect to have 30 dolls. He doesn't even know how his base lives their daily lives.

They could look for these kids on Epstein's islands. Trump being BFF with Epstein could probably direct them to their locations.
