No doubt. I’ve seen some organizing though. There are some homeless individuals around me who are members of regional organizations at least. They use technology and organize locally.

Would be nice to see them all organize and descend on Washington, a tent city wave vis a vis the Bonus March in 1932.

I wonder how bad homeless would need to get before major reform. Camps are going to keep popping up until they overwhelm local resources, and then disperse some, a microcosmic cycle of ruralization and urbanization, with greater and greater capacity, and more and more sophisticated systems of public services, trade, and justice, until existing institutions and policies are replaced by popular hobo demand.

What’s more, increasing poverty and homelessness is a major social, economic, public wellness, and national security issue that, in addition to not going away anytime soon, is something I think most Americans find compassion for, and even demand action on, when it’s face to face, people like themselves.

It’s like, as the oceanliner sinks, and the 99% have to fight for a few life boats and a piece of door, while the 1% fly away on a helicopter, the 99% must realize they were exponentially closer to being in the same boat together than any of them were to being on the helicopter.

Dude wants to sabotage the US on purpose to give Russia an advantage.

Most of the ones who make money at it work for themselves, solo or with partners.

You’d be driving an exploding car and wearing a shirt made of asbestos if it weren’t for personal injury lawyers. You’re welcome.

I like how you put that.

I say neither. Plenty of decent people find ways to make good money without selling themselves to the devil. Personal injury lawyers are a great example, they are real-life Robin Hoods.

And then for every question, totally ignore the question and just keep listing lies.

That’s because he’s a loser with a loser mentality.

Well shit was it four or was it five?

I sort of agree it’s a good idea but c’mon, the worst trip anyone I know has ever had was just a lot of crying and sadness.

This dude chopped off his dick. That’s not the mushrooms doing.

Mushrooms did not induce anyone to cut their dick off. What an absurd statement. Dude was already fully psychotic, as anyone who has eaten mushrooms can tell you.

I’m assuming a scenario where the perpetrators are killed on the scene, and the actual masterminds are already in Iran or in Iranian proxy territory, and for some time after the attack, their identities unknown to the west.

It’s certainly not beyond Iran and its proxies to keep someone hidden in total luxury for the rest of their life.

In a scenario where the perpetrators or planners have somehow made it to Iran and are known to the West, no, for sure, sovereignty will not stop the West from getting them.

Yeah a few Israeli soldiers have used human shields occasionally. It’s a crime in Israel and people in the IDF get charged for it.

Hamas does it as a matter of daily policy, with hundreds of thousands of people, voluntary and involuntary. What kind of bullshit whataboutism is this?

In the first days of the war, Hamas literally spread rumors online that the evacuation orders were a hoax and that everyone should stay in their houses, that nobody should leave North Gaza, or Gaza City.

Hamas actually uses human shields, though, and rewards people for war crimes, such as not wearing uniforms or kidnapping civilians.

They’d be in Iran.

No they don’t.

You’re better off taking a few minutes to really relax your muscles in your neck and back. Start by breathing in as deep as you can into your belly, then in the same breath, switch to your lungs, and breathe in as deeply as you possibly can until it hurts, and then exhale. Do that for a minute and then when you think you can’t possibly breathe in any deeper, breathe in deeper still.

If you do this for a few minutes and feel crazy muscle spasms in your neck and back, you need to start taking a lot more deep, relaxing breaths.

Why wouldn’t they be able to pay up?

Russia says that the Ukrainians dug 500 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 mi wide and used them for decades to launch terrorist attacks against Russia?

I haven’t heard that claim one time. I don’t think it’s true either.

Also haven’t seen those statements you’re talking about backed up. Israel certainly has the capability to annihilate all of Gaza in a matter of minutes. Here we are one year later, 99% of Gaza is still alive. What is it, the most incompetent genocide ever?

Neither of those. It was earlier in 2019, the first time.

Right when the campaign season kicked off, the primary season, I mean, the New York Time published a few heat maps showing where each candidate’s donations were coming from within the country.

Bernie was getting so many small donations from so many people from everywhere, that basically the entire map was covered with Bernie donors.

In order to even see the concentrations other candidate’s donoros–voters kicking in for Kamala from California, that lady from Minnesota, Biden’s support base in Maryland, you had the Pete squad in Ohio, and a couple of others with their dedicated bases from their hometowns or whatever–the NYT had to completely eliminate Bernie from the heat map.

And the rest of the article was not about how Bernie was the frontrunner and had the largest base of support of any candidate in history, had received more small donations and more unique donors than any candidate in history, how he had 90%+ approval ratings of voters that knew him, no.

It was shit like that that cost Bernie the primary. The media unanimously declaring that he was not winning, even as he was winning. In order to finally strike him down, they had to get all the power players to broker a deal where Biden would become the candidate and the other leaders would all step down in order to beat Bernie.
