There are ways…

That’s great! I’ve been watching since I noticed the berries so ripe, and I actually saw a red-headed finch in the yard today for the first time in years, so hope isn’t lost.

Idunno, the pillory could get pretty brutal if the crowd was sufficiently riled up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to bring stones or bricks.

Zero. That’s the really weird part.

He was president for four years. He ran on making the place great again (?). Why didn’t he? Golf was more important?

Today I spent a few hours gathering the crapload of Nanking cherries that have ripened on my bushes. When we moved in, almost twenty years ago now, we used to call them bird berries because we didn’t know they were edible, but the birds seemed to love them. It occurred to me today that I haven’t seen a single bird eating them this year. Maybe the berries are plentiful everywhere, and they’ve just found other places to gather, but it was a sobering realization.

Have they tried a Lysistrata yet?

Religion is exploited by actual sociopaths to justify their behavior.

And can you blame them? The opposition infrastructure is so incredibly overbuilt that it’s like trying to chip away at a wall when they keep taking away your tools.

Doesn’t it come from the same place, though? At the heart of it is the idea that we have no obligation to the future because our own present comfort is all that matters.

He clarified his words after some people naturally started to take it a little too literally, but I don’t think he needed to.

Whoever that “anonymous exec” was who said they wouldn’t even start to negotiate until strikers started losing their homes deserves to be pilloried.

Change is slowwwww, my brother. It’s rare that an actual upheaval happens and things shift noticably overnight.

It is and always has been a long, long struggle, and there is no final victory, only temporary triumphs that must be vigorously defended, because the enemy will never stop trying to take back every inch.

He’s all over this thread and his opinions are the worst.

Man, this comment is naive as hell. I’m disappointed to see so much anti-labor sentiment here. But what else should I expect from that username.

To what end? You think a user comment on Lemmy is going to change emissions policies? Direct your ire somewhere it might actually make a single bit of difference instead of just perpetuating the infighting that gets nothing done. If you’re going to waste your time on the subject, spend your thumb-taps on an email to your congressman instead.

You know why they think that. They believe, truly, that God made the world for man to exploit and use up, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting the Devil’s lies.

Some will claim to believe that it doesn’t matter one way or the other, that this is the only life we have, and that there’s no point in sacrificing our own joy for the future of others. This apathetic stance is held by many, but it is wielded as a shield and reinforced by those who believe that Earth is just a toy for us to have fun with and break, but won’t say it openly.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this conflict is a religious one, and anyone who denies that is only enabling the wingnuts destroying this planet.

I feel sorry for anyone born there or brought there as a child. They didn’t choose this.

People who moved there voluntarily are another matter. I don’t have much pity for them.

The people with the real power to do anything are the people who will suffer the least. We’re going off the rails on a crazy train.

Since we’re all asking for various content filters, can I kindly request that all posts about this woman have an NSFW tag so I don’t have to see that face in my feed?
