If it wasn’t made for you, just say that. But, I can see why people won’t do that…

I just had a huge epiphany when I got home from work.
The only reason why police "protect" the people is because their protecting ruling class property.
Just like police would sooner protect a store than give you the things you need during a crisis, you are only as useful as the labor you produce and its in the ruling class' best interest to make sure their investment is protected.
Once you are no longer useful, the protection goes away.
One you threaten capital, they turn the guns on you.

The fact that tech workers haven't unionized yet and probably won't (except game devs and the occasional FAANG team) is so baffling to me.

The fact that I have to request a WFH day in 2026 is fucking asinine!
I don't understand why we are still going into an office if I can do my work from home in the first place (I do understand, just let me cook)!
But, if I have to jump through these hoops, I feel like days in which I can't work from the office because of an extenuating circumstance beyond my control (i.e.: flat tire) shouldn't count against me.

We talk about how China is beefing with Taiwan when we have hundreds of military bases all over the world.

Blockade (and a "war" in Iran)
Not sure if you've seen either China or Vietnam lately. And, honestly, I'd ask who's reporting human rights violations (especially with *gestures wildly*)

🕊11 years after her death, we remember Sandra Bland, and recommit ourselves to the fight for justice and for an entirely new system, free of racist police brutality!
Bland was a Black Lives Matter activist and vocal advocate against injustice. In July 2015, Bland was pulled over by a Texas state trooper for failing to signal a lane change. She was taken into custody at Waller County Jail, and three days after her arrest, was supposedly found hanging in her cell.

Which, again, means that its state run.
Either your state is for the people or it isn't.
Now, how Western societies decide to define that isn't up to me as an individual.
But, if funded by public funds and is supposed to serve the public good, I'd say that it is state run if the state is also supposed to serve the people.
But, if the state isn't, there is a fundamental disconnect. And I'd argue institutions like the BBC AREN'T in the public's best interest. See: Gaza.

I don’t know.
It seems that it was founded by the government and is a nationalized service.
When that happens in countries like Venezuela, they call it state owned.
But, hey, I could be wrong.
It might not be state owned or run, but it sure is state owned/run shaped.

Trump's administration is waging war on everyone – people in Iran, Cuba and around the world, and people here in the United States who are denied our most basic needs like housing, healthcare, and decent jobs. Only massive action by the people can turn this around.

I don’t really see what’s the problem with the current setup that exists.
I have several child accounts on my consoles for my son and I have to explicitly approve what he can play, what he can purchase (if I allow him to do that), and how he interacts online.
However, I can see that failing on the other hand by watching how my wife interacts with that same system on his iPad.
We have to do better even though I understand that’s a tall order given our current system.

White supremacy is foundational to colonial superpowers; the legacy of which lives on. The only real remedy for the brutalities of slavery is reparations – and a new system that prevents these atrocities from ever taking place again!

It's no coincidence that the U.S., Israel and Argentina, as three entirely repressive regimes, have voted against condemning the trafficking of enslaved Africans and acknowledging the lasting impacts of slavery –– and that every country responsible for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade has abstained from the vote entirely.

Also, to say that AI is a de-skilling people comes off as kind of wrong to me.
Now, I'm not saying that people generating art and children's stories and topics of discussion at a dinner table is a good thing.
That's fucking horrible and dystopian.
But to say that people using AI tools is "de-skilling" them when they may need a little more organizational help, task management help, feels icky to me.
Using these tools with Obsidian has helped me organize my thoughts so much.

I had a realization today.
The more I color outside of the lines of US societal norms (communism, leftist gun ownership, etc.), the more I think that the way people view what's "normal" is used to control us.
And I mean outside of the obvious.
Like, how liberals think that gun owners are all crazed lunatics and how Global North countries look at the US because of our situation.
Or how caring for Cuba is supposed to make you a pariah.
