This is totally unrelated but the name “Roscoe” just triggered a hidden childhood memory of me playing the Playstation demo of “Rosco McQueen - Firefighter Extreme” over and over again. What a nice start for a Monday morning.
Yup… dude also thinks abortion providers should be sentenced to hard labor. Republicans are going completely mask off. If they win big in the midterm election America is quite literally fucked.
If one day a single democrat is trying to storm the capitol, he will get shot 23 times and be called a terrorist. All his family will be persecuted by crazy hats. You accepted their crazy extremist behavior and the know it. These guys just hijacked democracy to forcepass one of their guy despite an internal vote. I will tell you from an outside perspective, you guys are going right into fascism next time Trump is elected. He won’t leave twice. You’re going to be the baddies.
A little bit of sympathy goes a long way. Creating a culture of care can be so easy when you realize how much power it creates for you and your fellow workers in the workplace. Care radically, Fellow Workers!
I adore this episode, especially later on when the SNW crew go fan crazy over the NX-01 crew with those Boimler and Mariner grinning in the background. That and Boim’s Section 31 fast walk
I think it’s also partially about taking something that can be associated with … rednecks/middle America/conservatives I guess, and using it as a vehicle to try to reset people’s initial reactions against stuff that would be in their interest (unions for example). It doesn’t seem like it’s a concerted effort to actually reach that group, so right now it’s leftist memes for leftists but the potential for puncturing someone’s insular bubble Via familiar substrate for the message has interesting potential!
Puncturing someone’s insular bubble via a familiar substrate is exactly what I’m trying to achieve with Nascar memes. Thanks for puttng that into words. My main goal is to make memes leftists can share with their redneck/ middle america coworkwrs who are extremely disenfranchised by the corporate world and dont know where to direct their angst.
At least four people were wounded, none critically, in a shooting at Morgan State University in Baltimore on Tuesday, according to authorities, who urged students to take shelter on the campus of the historically Black college.
Some people actively get mad too when you mention that people died.
“Of course people died, here we go another fucking gun grab wrapped in a sob story. If all THOSE people had guns too it’d have never happened. This is what you get for being unprepared now stfu I’m shopping online for another AR. 🤷”
Yeah it’s kind of wild to me the number of people that think teachers having guns is a good idea, that way teachers can get into a shootout with students that go crazy. Absolutely insane.
None of those gun nuts have ever been able to answer my basic question about their stated goal of everyone carrying at all times -
You’re at a public event, few hundred+ people in attendance,everybody (even just most) are packing. A gun goes off. Every “Good guy with a gun” turns toward the sound while pulling their guns. You now have 50-100+ (adjusted for crowd size) people with guns drawn. How do you know which of the 50-100+ people actually fired their gun?
Noone has ever had any answer other than “oH yOuD kNoW” which, call me crazy, doesn’t really answer the question.
People have gone numb as an emotional safeguard. People have lives they’re trying to live, and if they fell to pieces every time someone got shot in this country they’d die of dehydration from all the crying.
There is so much death and cruelty in the world that if someone cares too much they are just bound to wind up depressed. It seems that the majority of people really only care about people that they are acquainted with, or if they witness the terrible thing in person. It’s just kind of built into human nature, otherwise we would be in a constant state of grief.
Things like mass shootings bother most empathetic people, in general. It’s just that life kind of has to go on, and all they can really do to try and change it is to vote for one of two lesser evils in some local or national election.
The problem is not really with the people. It’s with our crappy political system that is controlled by corporate lobbyists. The majority of US citizens don’t really seem to have a say. Source: Empathetic person with chronic depression.
This is not a shit post, it’s a real issue for many. In Denmark there is a political movement for the rights of non-early birds, called B-Samfundet (B-Society).
