You’re incredibly uneducated to be making the claims you are.

Racism in the US south against black people looks different than racism in the midwest/Western states against Native Americans because the goals of the racism were different.

The govt wanted to grow the black population so they could have a huge workforce to take from. Explicit racism helps a lot with this, because it’s declaring people black and enforcing that they are less than and deserve to be a lower class. This is probably what you mean about how racist the south is.

For Native Americans, the govt’s goal is to take their land and destroy their claims to land - they want LESS Native Americans. That’s why colorblindness is the racism in the midwest and west. That is also why those areas HATE Latino people, even though those people are generally just Native Americans who speak Spanish. That’s why you hear stuff like “We speak English here.” That’s why old John Wayne movies were the way they were. That’s why we had those Native American re-education schools. That’s why we killed so mamy buffalo (to starve them) and the Great Plains to this day has never recovered fully from how many millions of herd animals were killed. It’s why, TO THIS DAY, Christian organizations will adopt Native kids to explicitly white Christian families. It’s why the Mormons are in Utah. It’s why most Native reservations are in extremely inhospitable places (look at the Navajo lands versus nearby in Hatch, NM - the Native people would have lived near Hatch, near water, but we took that from them and gave them barren soil - to kill them).

The racism against Native Americans is like smothering and starving a baby to death, whereas the racism in the south is more like screaming//beating at a baby to depression/“submission”.

Old cowboys used to cut Native women’s labia off and put it on their saddle horns to play with. The west is racist too.

Behind the Nazis is what they learned from Trail of Tears and US antebellum slavery. Behind that, you get Rome.

It’s war. War is behind all fascism.

I think self inmolation protests tend to linger for a while. While you personally may not know every person to do it, I do think it gets attention and I remember them. I dont think i couod ever forget the videos ive seen. Certainly the witnesses and people who cleaned up the remains will remember forever.

None of us have a guarantee of life. We aren’t entitled to life. There’s nothing saying he wouldn’t have died of cancer in 3 years anyways. This is similar to people saying “what if you aborted the future scoentist to cure cancer?” It’s nonsense based on an intangible future.

None of us are entitled to work from another person. I mean this really sincerely, the state believes we belong to them and forces work out of us because we live in a giant work camp. So that’s the legal basis for why the state stops us from self harm - denying them the economic advantages of my labor.

He did dedicate the rest of his life to causes he believed in.

We need to demand approval choice voting. Every time we hear anything about third parties in this country, we need to use it as a launch pad to tall about approval choice voting

Yes, gaslighting really helps people in mental distress /s

Gross simplifications that push drugs and involuntary hospitalization are an extreme

Yes agreed. We have mental illness due to fascism and authoritarianism, it doesn’t help to then dial that up to 100000 via forced institutionalization

You can be in your right mind and kill yourself, I truly believe this. Whether he was in particular, idk. But we allow 18 year olds to sign up for the military and don’t medicalize them, so society has some concept of this.

Personally, I have deep respect for people who protest in this way.

I’m feeling pretty good rn for myself, she really looks off. She’s similar looking to the Kimberly Guilfoyle lady (55) and Lauren Sánchez (54)

The sad thing is, watching those old speeches idk if those people would make leeway today. Love their arguments and bravery, and sometimes Madalyne Murray O’Hair is absolutely hilarious, but idk if they’d actually make legal progress today like they did then. Idk if Mr Roger’s would have gotten funding from his famous speech. We’ve regressed as a society.

Gee, wonder why Democrats have a likability issue. You don’t need to alienate people for them. Unless you hate them? It’s always so hard to tell with you all

Most people I speak with, most average Americans, have a HUGE problem with the two party system and are open to things like approval or ranked choice voting. Go to any bar and talk to anyone. In terms of democracy, that’s majority voters. Since I’m not authoritarian or fascist, I think it’s important for representatives to hear issues like these and represent their people’s wishes.

Both parties benefit from preventing progress. That’s why we are hashing out abortion issues from the fucking 70s. We’re arguing about child care, something Republicans wanted originally in…again, the 70s.

Democrat politicians are NOT making this a central talking point because they benefit from ignoring their base. You’re right that they enjoy bypassing their civic duty as representatives of everyone. If they wanted to, they’d all be talking about it at every campaign to make it a theme/rally cry. They choose not to and to use old talking points that you can hear more eloquently said from the original trials and speeches of the 70s. It’s a niche issue in the media. It’s intentionally ignored by Democrat leadership. It’s desired and known by most people.

Unfortunately for you, I’m aware of the power I have as an individual. I will keep talking and keep advocating.

Thanks for your contribution. You sound obsessed hunty 💅

Yeah exactly, I was being a bit hyperbolic there but I do think this is a unifying issue for pretty much anyone from any party.

Funny enough the other thing that really gets people under 50 going is talking about high speed rail done well and effectively here as public transportation. Something conservative men really like about trains lol, I’ll take it

Well, if you were someone playing a game with them, then you can incorporate this. The point is that it’s not obligatory and is based on the people participating
