You keep saying he’d support criminalization and loss of rights for certain people, but not murder.

Except those things result in deaths, regardless, and thus represent Social Murder.

The fact is that these people who Newsom consider undesirable, are succumbing to hunger, exposure, forced relocation, suicide, loss of healthcare access, or denial of access to public spaces and services, all through the action and deliberate inaction, of the state, through policy he supports.

This is what I mean when I say he supports a lot of the same things Trump does, just in a way that is acceptable to liberals.

Instead of armed men going door to door, these people simply die, quietly, and out of sight. Their deaths, and the policy which led to them, are rendered no less unjust by their aesthetic qualities.

By shrugging and saying “well the bar is in hell!”, we also shrug off the responsibility to combat this shit in whatever form it takes

I want to be very clear, he’s talked to way more conservatives than just Been Shapiro.

He’s agreed with them on their transphobic talking points. He proudly talks about violently breaking up homeless encampments.

Newsom is already does a lot of what Trump does. He just does it in a way that’s more appealing to white liberals.

Would he be as overt or crass about it? Obviously not, but that’s not the point. This kind of fascistic scapegoating of the untermenschen vulnerable people, and using the violent arms of the state to deal with them, is unacceptable no matter who’s doing it.

If you can’t see how regularly platforming and legitimizing right wing ghouls to your predominantly liberal audience creates the permission structure that allows for the deploying of various breed of thugs to American cities, I don’t know what to tell you.

Gavin Newsom is a dangerous man, and should be treated as such.

RAWR XD

You can pry :3 from my cold, dead, hands

At that rate, just get in the damn shower

First as tragedy, then as something else, I think

Or like when the Korean war was called a “Police Action”

The Obama administration knowingly bombed a civilian hospital

No but we can make it mean that 😎

Now we just need Posadist Lemmy

Idk I’d live there if I had the chance. The trains seem neat ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Horseshoe theory is bullshit, but I genuinely can’t tell if the original context of this screenshot was some anti-woke Evangelical shit, or smug Reddit atheism

If speeding was really an issue they have the technology to prevent it

Like building alternatives to cars so not every dipshit, 15 year old, and elderly person, are forced to share the road

Honestly? The kids cartoons are kind of a beacon of good storytelling in Star Wars, nowadays.

Obviously they’re for children, and some arcs are boring filler, so YMMV, but they’re also able to tell these smaller, off the beaten path, stories that you don’t get elsewhere.

I said this in another comment that Star War’s big problem has been that It’s very in love with itself. It’s a self-referential fever dream that feels more like a child smashing their toys together, than a real show.

So ironically, the shows for children don’t have that problem quite so much. For instance, there’s an episode of The Bad Batch where a bunch of miners rise up and kill their boss. That shit rules! That’s a fun story that happens to take place in the Star Wars universe, and isn’t concerned with the fact that it’s Star Wars

I really liked Andor, but that’s because it was trying to be a political spy thriller first, and a star wars show second.

Most Disney Star Wars is really in love with the fact that its Star Wars, to the point that it feels like a child smashing their toys together, than an actual show or movie

It literally is. Human beings aren’t listening to this music. The huge numbers are coming from bots.

The AI slop bros are making the Dead Internet theory real, to artificially inflate their value.

The little ice age also coincided with, and exacerbated, various crises within feudalism, that eventually led to its collapse, and replacement with a different political -economic system.

Just a little fun fact, unrelated to anything currently ongoing in the world

No.

40 hours a week isn’t some magic number that we have to adhere to. We should be working less.

Isn’t WSWS run by Trotskyists?
