Solidarity must be had among all the peoples of this world if we hope to overcome the spectral chains upon our souls. International solidarity for all humans.

proud of you
bobby fingers. You’re welcome :D
Probably if the cost includes materials, his work looks good, and the labor is warrantied for at least a year. I’d probably opt to try to change out the wood on that frame in general though. You might want to see what your dealing with behind that wood, as it already looks like repairs have been attempted, and you want to make sure that this stops any issues back there more than superficially. If you go with the initial plan, make sure that the materials being used are of stronger quality/longer lifetime and rated for outdoor application. Get the warranty in writing somewhere if its not included on the invoice.

Here’s something I can tell you that’s not a hypothetical.
20 years ago I watched thousands burn, jump and get crushed to dust live on a classroom TV. Our leaders agreed that there would be retribution no matter the cost, and the ones who spoke out against it were called cowards. In retrospect, I think so much of the anger people felt was because with all our supposed power and might, in the back of their minds they couldn’t feel safe anymore. These people whose identities had become so entwined with boastful national pride were ready for their glory to be restored with the suffering and death of others. It didn’t matter who did the dying. We’d given ourselves to fear.
The world stood behind us and over years and then decades the body count climbed to a number nobody could know. We poisoned the land of the people we killed with depleted uranium in everything from tank shells to breaching charges and the rate of cancer deaths is still rising in those places. Do you know what America got back from its campaign of horrors?
Nothing.
What exists in the wake of these “just” crimes is a world no safer than it was before. The war on terror likely made far more terrorists than it stopped and the freedoms we gave up never came back. The terrorists won. Their goal was to undermine our society and its status in the world. And they did just that with a handful of people.
Israel has already exacted it’s blood cost. It’s already doubled their number of dead. The world doesn’t have the same sympathy for this thing anymore because so many know where it leads. If it doesn’t bring itself back from the brink then it can only lead to more years and decades of killing. I know this ain’t great to hear but when people are saying to level Gaza and it’s people once and for all does that not ring in your ears like someone saying their extermination is the “solution?”
Knowing what I know now, yeah, Israel should have done just slightly more than nothing. You should have showed the world your pain and your attackers your humanity. If you truly wish for peace than what better time than when perhaps you could have had sympathy from some across that fence. Wars don’t solve anything. They just get people killed. I know that advice or opinion seems impractical but there has to be a moment where some people demand an end to the violence. None of us know how big that group would have to be or what they could say to stop the killing but they could.
It only took a few hundred people 20 years ago to undermine the worlds remaining superpower. They couldn’t until they did and the same goes for those who would demand peace. I’m not sure where you’re from or what you’ve seen in life but I can tell you as I age this thought is only becoming clearer. We have a choice in these moments. I only wish that I could go back and put my voice with the cowards that knew these things back then.
The only offensive war worth fighting and the only war that can be won is for the hearts and minds of your enemies. Defensive wars are a different story but lets not mince words on the difference between an incursion, an invasion and an occupation.
This is the entirety of my perspective, so I’ve got really nothing to add. I truly have tried to give you a genuine answer here so take it or leave it but that’s where I get off this conversation.
Cool, more gross shit to read. Thanks pal. You get top marks in the how to be an unapologetic monster creative writing class.
It’s sad, you probably think you’re doing Israel a favor by excusing what they’re doing right now. Make sure to do your part and send a bunch of “stop hitting yourself” t shirts to the dead Palestinian woman and children so they can remember that they had it coming.
Zealotry has warped your mind. The validity of my message and analogy stand. I find it truly sad how little you value human life, to the point of mocking the murder of civilians. Hope that you come to terms with the utterly vile nature of what you’ve said some day.
it’s not 1/1, but it makes the point just fine. There’s never a justified excuse to commit reprisal attacks on civilian populations. There is no moral ambiguity there no matter how you frame it. What happened to Israel was wrong. It does not give them a license to commit the same senseless murder. A war crime is a war crime. A genocide is a genocide. End of story.
There were certainly people there before them just as there were people after. I find that viewing things on a larger scale than we live on helps us appreciate that the world does not belong or yield to us. It was there before we walked it and it will be here after were gone, so the flawed view that any one people has a right or claim is to me personally laughable. It was viewed similarly by those indigenous people you spoke of.
Countries don’t stop bad actors and they don’t protect the weak. They protect the interests of the ruling class and provide means of control. In this very situation it would appear that nothing is stopping the obliteration of Gaza. Boundaries, countries, walls and the like are just means to segregate and divide. It could be racially, economically, religiously. Whatever you like. As long as we keep propping up these institutions we will never get any closer to peace and unity on those human scales you’re so concerned with.
Governance doesn’t need to be tied to borders or countries just as hierarchies don’t need to be organized vertically.
Did no one live on that land before the Jews? How about we just get rid of countries, borders and religious claims to lands? How about as transient beings crossing through reality at a pace that barely even registers on the geologic timeline, we just give up this whole idea of possessing everything for that short blip of existence?
Or, you know, lets not and just keep wasting this precious little time we have playing land murder roulette.
So a Polish-Jewish student shoots a diplomat in Paris and as a response you expect us to not allow pogroms?? Really?
100%. It’s clunkier to call him Florida Butt Head though, cause some might assume I’m just some boomer slingin my top tier insults. This pictures so unsettling but it really is worth 1000 words. Thank you for the correction!
Florida Beavis is about to get kicked off spray tan island. Would absolutely love to see him backstab all his “friends” in his exit video from the banana boat. You can do it Matt!
Detroit: Tragedy at Binford Sex Tools show, when speaker Tim “Toolman” Taylor got stuck in one of the new XL Ejacu-Pumper models, whilst demonstrating features to the audience. Eyewitnesses say that while inserted into the machine, Taylor began to mimic riding a bucking bronco. During this animated outburst, Taylor lost his balance, falling backward, and accidentally pulling the refrigerator sized sex appliance down upon himself. In a scene that had played out countless times prior in his life, Taylor lost control of the unit, as it went into what a Binford representative called “overdrive mode.”
According to an attendee, who wished to remain anonymous “I heard a noise that day that will haunt me for the rest of my years. I was across the expo hall, and amidst a low rumble of screams came a piercing cacophony of confused cries of pleasure and pain. I don’t know quite how to explain it. It was like a wolf, gurgling, grunting and howling all at once. The noise went on for minutes, getting louder and more desperate sounding. When it stopped, I guess that’s when his pelvis was crushed.”
A public memorial service will be held at Ford field this coming Sunday, prior to the Lions game, with a private burial ceremony to be held later in the week.
well regardless, sorry that happened to you
TLDR; if we don’t work toward solutions to racial justice before socioeconomic justice, the power and capital likely won’t exist to follow through with the former
So, I can’t say for sure but what I think you’ve ran into is something that I heard best explained by a podcast once (I think it was one of Robert Evans). My guess is that what you encountered was organizers trying to take account for the systematic imbalance of power that is inherent within the US. Often times it goes unseen by many of us that can’t see it because it doesn’t effect us in the same way. We can see those problems of poverty and lack of support but then what about the added struggle of race, gender, disability? Those things added on top create deeper and different issues that we can’t account for, because we can’t know them. It’s the argument that to rid society of these myriad issues we must take the privilege we have and can’t see and use it to back POC to fight the problems that they see.
I think I know where you’re coming from now, and though I’ve been in spaces where that happened, I’ve never seen issue in it because I believe in the premise. I’ve known multiple persons who did run into situations and feel like their views or voice were being marginalized from it though. I wasn’t there for their experience but I mostly think it was a misunderstanding on their part though and they couldn’t move past their ideas being of less importance/priority. I think this can play out in ways that can be counterproductive from time to time, but also that set backs that come from it are eventually learned from and worthwhile.
It’s hard knowing how you want to organize and feeling like the roadmap is right in front if we could just come together and focus a part of the problem. There’s a risk that we still leave others behind though if we don’t address their issues before our own. People and movements lose interest once their needs and goals are met and if we want to pull off the big move forward we have to do it all together.
Am I closer to talking about what you were now?
Oh, I guess I’m just not hearing those same things where I’m at. Are these progressives POC?
It might be one of trumps horcrux’s and just shrank a bit after the deepstate took back the perfectly legal document boxes (also horcrux’s).
Many would say that stateless socialism is the premise of Anarchism. Stateless largely refers to organizing hierarchies horizontally over vertically, and this is due to the overarching critique that vertical hierarchies result in corruption and rank inequality. Check out Communalism and the works of Murray Bookchin if you’d like to know more. There’s also a fair amount of talk about “pure democracy/direct democracy” in these circles and personally I think that Digital Direct Democracy could be the cure for the cancer in all the worlds modern democracies, if it ever takes off somewhere.
