Basically I am workshopping progressive sligans. I am a basic agitator and interact with a lot of people who lean progressive but aren’t politically engaged yet. Crowd-sourcing the revolution, I guess.

    Yes. We’ve seen governments prove that they can provide for thir citizens. It just means billionaires becoming multimillionaires. They would still be able to buy anything they would ever want for themselves. All that is required is for the hoarders to give up some of their stuff. And as we know, hoarders need all that stuff. Their life is over unless they have all of their stuff!

    The problem is that they can easily turn their “stuff” into cold hard cash.

      Yeah, you get it. I aim to trivialize the oligarchy. The idea that we can make the world better at nearly zero cost. The only cost is the therapy bills of the former billionaires, as they work through their butthurt at being reduced to mere opulence.

        Alligator Alcatraz took 8 days to build 30,000 beds. Even slacking on human comforts, they prove that they can do it. It’s really become embarrassing recently.

          It’s not merely lacking amenities, it’s already falling apart. I’d far rather be in a regular prison than that hellhole. For that matter, I’d gladly be homeless first.

          They built it so fast, I’m still not sure what these new buzzwords even mean. I’ve seen these terms for the past 7 days. Everyone but me seems to know them.

          Before 7 days ago? Never heard that term before.

              …ok, now, you say literally. Do you literally mean literally? As in we’re shipping people there with the intention of killing them?

              Because that’s both shocking, but also believable. There is no floor for this administration.

              Soooooo…I don’t WANT to believe the government is using official government resources to kill people. But at the same time, we literally have had two government officials do nazi salutes on tv this year.

              A maga death camp would be shocking, but not surprising. As sad as that would be to say.
