    Yeah they are probably lying. They can not know with 100% certainty that these giant asian hornets have all been eradicated in the us. They couldn’t get rid of something as benign as the spotted lantern fly or the marmorated stink bug but sure lets believe they got rid of a hornet as big as a humming bird that has facial recognition capabilities and can unalive people with a swarm no larger than 50 to 100 of the fuckers





  • Western capitalist hegemonic powers glorify retributive violence but only when it benefits the ruling class. When the peasants realize that there is no way to initiate change in such a heavily controlled environment they are met with violent suppression. Even when we use non violence we are met with violent suppression. Look at the methods yale used to go after jon violent pro Palestinian protestors. The USA has been a far right fascist authoritarian state for at least 50 years now its just blatantly obvious for anyone paying attention

    Its no use, he probably thinks wtc building number seven collapsed demolition style because the shockwave from the planes hitting the twin towers caused a ripple effect and a butferfly flapped its wings in Indonesia so there was definitely no fowl play on behalf of our extremely trustworthy societal institutions “. 🥴😴🤡



  • $1 an hour full time is 60 ounces of gold. That is 160,000 in todays money. Inflation statistics regurgitated by the imf world bank and wall street are skewed using consumer price index which wails miserably to account for the devaluation of currency due to the increase in circulating currency supply. The price of gold does this perfectly. When nixon ended the gold standard in ‘71 minimum wage had been raised (an eighth time since it was legislated in 1938 at 25¢ an hour or ≈15 ounces of gold)3 years earlier in 1968 to $1.60/hr or $250,000 today.

    The price of good stayed constant for 172 years from 1799 when a federal currency was established till 1971 only fluctuating ≈80% from $19 to $35 but in the 53 years since then it has ballooned 7500% to $2650 last i checked. This is in tandem with the amount of us currency printed into circulation. By the end of 1979 gold price was already up over 2000% to just under $800 and in 1981 the usa printed the first trillion. Now we are printing one trillion every 3-4 months.

    This is why from 1945-1975 one adult working a full time minimum wage job could support a family of four with enough left over to save for retirement their children’s higher education and go on a modest yearly family vacation. But today it would take both adults working 80 hours per week with overtime at a minimum base pay of double minimum wage or quintuple it if federal minimum wage is the default where you are. Minimum wage since has only increased 450-1300% while corporate executive pay has increased 3300%-16,500% in the same time period.

    Lets nuke the shit out of the shitty parts but keep the decorated live tree, pretty lights, egg nog, giving poor people and or family members things they cant normally afford and radicalizing our younger family members to be anarchistic leftists over ham or turkey or Chinese food while your older relatives try to push them as far right as possible and complain about everything that comes out of your mouth. You know the good parts of Christmas.


  • But rich people will just say no because they have to make money and its also a plus for them to dominate and abuse vulnerable women. Just like drug prohibition it fills the prisons which are slave labor and profit generation centers for them. Prohibiting drugs makes the drugs more expensive too so I would think its the same for sex work. If they legalize it however will they skim off the top and make the peasants afraid of their boot?




  • A better judicial system, one where it implicitly illegal for those with money to receive preferential treatment. And one where victimless crimes built on abstract ideals of abstinence only moralism dont ruin the lives of marginalized people while wealthy privileged individuals engage in these same behaviors with impunity, and one where qualified immunity isn’t grossly abused to avoid consequence for a militarized police force and portray a fantasy image tjat police generally always have a pristine moral compass and aren’t just flawed human beings with a propensity to abuse their power in a system with so many unjust laws that are designed to favor those with privilege and wealth.

    How about just that for starters and i will get back to you for any further improvements.
