A bunch of individual lawsuits or even a class action lawsuit is woefully inadequate for the task of holding ICE agents accountable for their crimes. It's going to take revolutionary tribunals administered by councils of civilians. Even a "reformed" state will let them get away with it if we don't take matters into our own hands.
The intent isn't necessarily predatory.
Proceeds to describe an extremely predatory business practice and the corrupt incentives that motivate it.
Yes, our governments are in an actual war and a slopaganda war and Iran is winning both.
I hate to break it to you but belief in the existence of Satan is and has been a majority belief in the United States for as long as it has existed, as well as in every other country that is majority Christian.
This is why class politics is incomplete without an understanding of hierarchy. People within a hierarchy will try to pass accountability up the chain, and it stops at the first person capable of deflecting it down. The more egregious the offense the higher up the chain it goes so the ones at the upper levels make sure the hierarchy is as tall as possible so that accountability never reaches the top. Your manager is the next rung up the hierarchy from you and most offenses are minor enough for them to deflect it. Sometimes the bureaucracy enables the accountability to be spread across so many hands that it fizzles out, and sometimes someone has to take the fall.
TBF Howard Zinn has a rather pessimistic view of class struggle in the US and that is reflected in his book, at least in my opinion. In emphasizing that radical movements have always been crushed, deflected, or co-opted by the political elites he implies the inevitability of such outcomes and often misses some of the ways that those movements still succeeded in radically altering the class arrangement, and the experiences of those who lived quietly in the crossfire of these historical struggles are erased through omission. A lot of that is an understandable limitation of an attempt at an all-encompassing historical account though.
I think you're just lashing out at me because you're unable to explain why you think diversity makes it harder to implement universal healthcare, but what do I know. I haven't studied the legal system in China.
Please tell me there's a way out of this, I want more time with the glaive beam :(
Update: I died
They don't like electoralism, prefer to LARP revolution while doing nothing to actually lay the groundwork for one.
The main character starts the game literally giving himself a traumatic brain injury by drowning himself in alcohol. It's not really the kind of RPG where you can play a self-insert, the player character is an actual character with his own backstory. Not being able to make good choices because of the player character's personal trauma and limitations is part of the story that the game is telling.

Found this one in the woods behind my house. One of my favorite mushrooms to find even though there's not much to do with it, it's beautiful just to look at!
The blue "milk" contains latex, so don't handle if you're allergic. It's related to regular milk caps and looks identical aside from the brilliant color.
Something that you don't often see in field guides: it smells quite sweet in addition to the usual earthiness.
I will be returning it to the forest floor to drop its spores in hopes I keep finding them.

I've had an abundance of chanterelles recently and decided to share what I've been doing with them.
Cooking chanterelles is easy, I start by tearing them into evenly sized strips (they're stringy like chicken) and throwing them in a saucepan by themselves to boil off all the water. (Adding a bit of water at the start to cover the bottom of the pan lets you start it on high heat without burning them)
While the water boils off I start making Mexican yellow rice to serve on the side. I don't have fancy ingredients like saffron but turmeric, cumin, garlic, oregano, and a chicken stock cube gets the job done for me.
When the chanterelles are ready I add a bit of oil with onions and poblano peppers cut into strips, and season with cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic, and paprika (salt and pepper to taste). Cook that on high heat and stir until the texture of the veggies is just right. I stop stirring and let it burn a little while melting some cheese on top at the end.
And here is the result:
You can get some tortillas or just eat it as-is, it's delicious either way. Goes well with salsa or hot sauce. I've made this probably 5 or 6 times in the past month because I keep finding more chanterelles and I will never get bored of it.
Still would love to hear some more ideas on how to cook chanterelles, because I will probably find even more soon lol.
All LLMs should be FOSS. They are created from everyone's data, and should therefore be free for everyone.
The reality is even worse. They're going to "learn" all the wrong lessons. They will shift further to the right, like they always do.
Yes, the owner does important work, but that work should not give them the right to all the profits produced by the business. Taxes are not a solution to the structural inequality created by private ownership of the means of production, they are a bandaid that alleviates some of the worst consequences. The only way to resolve the structural inequality is for the means of production to be collectively owned by all of the workers who use it, and for business decisions to be made democratically by said workers or by a person elected democratically by the workers (who should themselves be an equal owner of the means of production).
