That is one quality Shitpost … 9/10
As an Indigenous Canadian, I’ve always been aware of where I stand in society … and no matter what anyone says or likes to believe … I’m not that high up on the totem pole (no pun intended)
That’s what pisses me off … and all for what? So that we, the majority of people everywhere can enjoy a little of security and a livelihood where we don’t have to worry about losing our home and ability to eat and clothe ourselves? And what are they protecting? Their obscene amounts of wealth that no individual person could enjoy in a lifetime!
That story of 20 year old Gustavo Gatica in 2019 is what got me a few years ago.
Every time I see a protest anywhere in the world and I see police and security dressed up for war against teenagers and young people with nothing but a scarf and no eye protection just gets me so anxious and upset.
Young people … everyone … should be allowed to protest what is not good for them and to fight for democratic rights. I support any young person fighting for what is right and equitable for everyone and I wish with all my heart that they stay safe and secure while doing so.
That’s the amazing thing about it … if we are working for them, then they’ll grudgingly do things to protect us and provide for our safety
… if we outright disagree with them and protest, then they’ll actively put us all in danger, to wound, blind, maim or even kill us until we conform.
I saw this during the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York city
We’re in northern Ontario in Canada and I was with my wife and her mother. My mother in law was a great lady, tiny, Irish Canadian completely and with a heart of gold. She had lived through the second world War where she lost her husband, her husband’s brother, three other of her husband’s brothers who were in the war and a long list of friends she saw leave school to take part in the war and some of them not come back, some completely psychologically destroyed and others just surviving life.
She was making chili that morning when we got up. I turned on the TV and couldn’t believe what we were watching. It was like a movie. We watched live the first burning building and then soon after watched the second plane crash on live TV. It was surreal.
My mother in law came in and watched with us for a while. We were glued to the TV and waited for more … all day! My mother in law got up after five minutes and went back to her chili.
We told her this was historic. You can’t miss it.
She said she’s already lived through wars, near wars, threatened nuclear war, end of the world predictions, fall of the Soviet Union and a whole bunch more.
She said she felt bad for everyone but we can’t do anything right now.
She went back to cooking her chili.
God I wish he were still here. The world was a lot more tolerable when I could hear what he had to say about it.
Whatever event or activity that is announced by the government that asks you to register or provide personal information …
DON’T!
I generally find most average people, no matter their race, religion, colour, creed or location to be very decent human beings.
It’s when you put those same people into groups that they all become a problem because they’ll be swayed by the loudest most obnoxious a-holes in the community.
I’m sure she won all or most of her competitions by default
… and instead of reputable journalists and independent organizations printing our news for us on the television … ANYONE with a pulse and a grade ten level of writing skill can publish anything for anyone to read … and the evolution after that will be that ANYONE with access to a computer can use Artificial Intelligence to publish an entire feature news story out of thin air promoting whatever idea, theory, belief or information they want regardless if it is true or not and no one will be able to tell the difference.
Reminds me of a terrible factoid I read a long time ago … they feed young calves they raise for veal a steady diet of cow’s milk mixed with liquefied rendered cow blood and other bio fluids.
We might not have the matrix or dystopian futures yet … but we sure are on our way to building one.
I’m guessing you also enjoy your whipped cream …
He’s up to 8 hours in the sun now
I don’t need a machete to milk a cow
If you see ads … pour gasoline over the whole thing
I think we are more like the trash-pandas of the fediverse (and I mean that with a lot of love and respect … because I love trash-pandas (aka raccoons))
We occupy the quiet corners of the fediverse and keep to ourselves and keep ourselves busy with the little activity we have. We make lots of stuff and we are building a huge underground community.
But like our real world trash-pandas, eventually we’re going to be noticed and people will want to either encourage us for the lovable, smart, cute little creatures that we are … or they’ll start harassing us to get out of their attic and garage.
One-eyed Fingerless Joe agrees … and would give a thumbs up but he lost that one too.
