kool_newt , to politics in Far-right extremism is thriving in rural areas. Here's what it looks like in Upstate NY

This is going to get worse all over as most liberals move away and concentrate in specific places. They're making it easy for the Republicans to trap them in cities.

kool_newt , to World News in Large demonstration against right-wing extremism with 80,000 participants in Hamburg premature closed due to overcrowding.

I think they might be pointing out that actual bad people don't care about protests. If the protests don't directly and obviously cause financial harm or risk to their position they will not be considered.

And I agree, we all need to stop thinking the bad people will start acting good "if just show them the error of their ways". These are dangerous people and we have a right as living beings to defend ourselves and our community from them - in every country.

So similarly, a country that supplied arms to NAZI Germany bore no responsibility? I'd say I disagree.

kool_newt , to Politics in The GOP Doesn’t Want to Punish Trans People—It Wants to Eradicate Them

And we should call it out every time rather than accept it as normal and stop talking about it.

kool_newt , to politics in Utah House passes transgender bathroom ban

We need some armed people protecting a bunch of trans people going to the bathroom, like the drag queen reading events.

And when they pulled the driver's body from the twisted, burning wreck. It looked like this...

kool_newt , to News in Another trans candidate in Ohio faces disqualification vote for omitting deadname

Those who begrudgingly vote and work to solve problems outside elections the rest of the year are making the wise choice.

I'm not really speaking to those who vote I'm speaking to those who think forfeiting their vote and expecting revolution any day now. Those unwilling to cast a vote in an attempt to protect the vulnerable because they feel entitled to use other's lives to further their goals.

I'm speaking to tankies, ideological puritans that saw the U.S. kool-aid and were not fooled, but then turned around and drank kool-aid from autocrats pretending to be communists.

kool_newt , to News in Hospitals owned by private equity are harming patients, reports find

Private equity is particularly ruthless, they are known for running things into the ground and profiting off the failure. When it happens in a hospital, the death rate measurably rises. Capitalism exists in a spectrum of fucked up from the corner store underpaying employees on one end to private equity on the extreme fucked up end. This is not your typical for-profit hospital, this is a newer phenomena, private equity is expanding it's operations.

kool_newt , to politics in Harris says ‘no denying’ America’s history of racism

Who is this lady?

Harris is like the football player that goes to the bathroom in the beginning of the move Summer School (1987, highly recommended), you totally forget about them, and then they come back at the end of the movie returning the bathroom pass.

kool_newt , to News in Parole denied for 68-year-old in Alabama: ‘A life sentence for growing marijuana’

Right, there are many employees of the state with no power, these positions I'd expect are mostly not staffed by dark tetrad types. The DMV though, pretty sure that's staffed by mostly sadists.

Oh snap! (are people still saying that? idk I'm old)

kool_newt , to News in Another trans candidate in Ohio faces disqualification vote for omitting deadname

You know how this is stopped? Good people need to replace those on the board of elections and other positions. This is what Republicans are doing (but with bad people) with great success, while those on the left or opting out, discouraging participation, and guaranteeing loss.

For some reason, half of Lemmy is so confident that waiting (because doing anything more than reading and talking shit on LIBS! doesn't actually occur) for a massive war between the East and West where hundreds of millions die and whole ecosystems are destroyed is easier and more likely to be successful than voting that they won't even cast a ballot.

Imagine thinking, "oh, voting won't work, running for office won't work, sorry my minority "friends", I'm not gonna do something as difficult as grocery shopping for you because I'm certain what's best for you and others like you is to suffer die while I wait for something that's probably not going to happen."

To those who think voting or running for office won't matter, ask yourself why Republicans fight so hard to limit voting and keep people like this candidate out of office?

kool_newt , to News in Parole denied for 68-year-old in Alabama: ‘A life sentence for growing marijuana’

Someday we'll learn that these types of positions are only ever occupied by sociopaths, psychopaths, sadists, and those full of hate. Then we'll realize that the institutions they are part of were designed by the same type of people. Then hopefully finally we'll realize that every state institution was designed by this same group that believes they know the right way for everything and feel entitled to force their ways on everyone else.

kool_newt , to World News in Israel is starving Gaza

And yet all it would take for Trump to not be elected is for one man, one single man, to change the way he acts.

I live in reality not fantasy. I cannot control Joe Biden. I can only realize I'm trapped in a situation where either Biden or Trump will be our ruler. On the one hand we have a psychopathic supporter of Palestinian genocide, on the other hand we have a psychopathic supporter of Palestinian, Mexican, Black, Gay, Trans, etc genocide.

Think about it. Think about what kind of person

A fucking psychopath, what I'm trying to get you to understand, is that the alternatives to Biden are not "not psychopaths".

A) Psychopath A who wants to kill 2 million

B) Psychopath B who wants to kill 200 million

What is the logical choice, there is no realistic choice C -- if you want to change the world, it must be done outside of this system, but since we're trapped in the system, if you ignore it and leave it to the fascists, everything about your existence will become much harder and more risky.

kool_newt , (edited ) to World News in Israel is starving Gaza

On top of genocide of Palestinians, Trump also wants to genocide POC and LGBT at home.. Are you saying you're ok with the latter? What is the logic there?
