Damn , reading some of these comments is like fanfiction about myself and it’s kind of wild actually. I am everyone until you go and check D:

Yeah, that sounds interesting.

That was the fucking point of all this, right ? Like ‘how dare the poors slip through some material change in conditions through gov power’. ‘We’ll show them’ and then they did all of this

Yeah that’s an important thing I have to address. Why do people think that authoritarianism means someone being mean to them?

Edit: I shouldn’t be that sour about it. Definitions are super important part and I’ve seen this coming for months., But there does seem to be like a rather substantive difference between like political science definitions of authoritarianism versus like general use public definitions. Like the general public seems to be really about like on an individual level, and I just don’t think that’s super helpful when you’re talking about governmental structure. there’s a little bit of overlap, but that’s not what the focus of most of the academic writing on the subject is so what pops up on Google when you just google “authoritarian“ is not the definition I’m operating off of, no.

Edit2: But yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah, the US being both a democracy and massively a fan of authoritarian governance is exactly what the memes about and you know trying to talk to anybody about that really seems to be like half of people take it as such a given like your baby for not having gotten over that when you were a kid and the other half like consider it an assault against the soul of America

you are right and I invite you to say it louder.

Yes. The title is a reference to that. Someone pointed it out on the tumblr post and its like the horror realization. I know how to swim because I got lessons in a public pool in Pittsburgh and there was a camp in michigan coming from that area too that the church helped pay for, but after that: Swim team, boy scouts, private pool, private pool, private swimming club, private pool. … Yeah. That would be why black people can’t swim.

I believe the closest he came to consequences was that the KKK trashed the hotel after a court made him integrate it anyway.

What is the point of the private property system?

I have found this paper for 2013–2019: Disaggregating Asian American and Pacific Islander Risk of Fatal Police Violence by Gabriel L. Schwartz and Jaquelyn L. Jahn https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0274745

the mapping police violence site’s methodology page indicates their database is entirely original. So for anything with their data specifically your best bet would be to reach out to them directly

yeah, that’d be great.

Yes, but idk if that’s a death call for it, i feel like its not so bad for DnD characters. That’s a community that has been rather accepting of AI generated images, as I understand, because they don’t take away from artists’ commissions and actually expand the pool of people interested in commissioning art for roleplaying.

That’s great. I’m really glad to hear it. It’s not that they don’t exist. It’s that they are subject to violence under the law.

this is a bad faith reading of a basic ass fucking tenant of socialist theory. democrats, party of the educated, are feigning ignorance to try and silence dissent.

that’s kind of my take on the situation, yeah.

edit: you know, it would just be rude,. to deny the president, . who is also your boss. edit2: can you imagine? ‘we couldnt get anyone from your community so we’re canceling the event, but we’ll still do it 8D for youu’. Like whooah wooah woah il put good money that this sequence of events is not what those staffers signed up for.

To head it off: Yes, there was still “an event” at the white house to observe the holiday. Attended exclusively by white house staff. So I assume that means muslim employees of the president attended “the event”.

thank you so much for adding this. i bet this is earth shattering for a lot of people. and then maybe some context for the other part still wondering why we’re talking about it

its because of the cost of housing

they define it in the paper, its not having to use more than 50% of your income for housing.

Yes
