What band?

The cells where no one ever talked, ever, to anyone, survived and were able to operate effectively.

How does that work in practice?

fwiw PSL and Green have shown up to some of the the same protests this year

Hell yeah comrade, same here

The struggle is super relatable. I’ve taken to letting my lib friends share complaints with us then when voting comes up mentioning PSL and Green parties. They don’t live in a swing state but still are visibly shocked by the suggestion.

Wth, that’s obnoxious. They don’t even need a printer, a stamp or something should be fine

All the venues around here that I go to (nothing large, I’m pretty cheap) let you buy at the door. Obv depends on the show, but plenty of shows don’t sell out, so you can save yourself the fee by buying the ticket there

One Palestinian state is the only solution.

How is a 2 state plan any different that the appeasement policy Eurpoean countries had for dealing with nazis? Even American schools talk about how bad an idea that was.

Weird. Was there a source claiming there was one?

Didn’t think to check Youtube. Ty!

Thanks!

I think they’re more regulated there, like the only flavor is tobacco, their use is prohibited in certain places, etc

Nice! I’ve been meaning to check it out too.

Any chance you could DM the link?

Is there a good site to listen to Blowback? Been meaning to check it out for some time.

Tried checking out the first season the other day and the sites I found it on had embedded ads and I couldn’t get through the first quarter of the episode before technical difficulties followed by an authentication wall, so kind of lost interest.

The site literally made a subreddit years ago for bots trained on specific subreddits to interact with each other. Waaay before ChatGPT, the tech to do something like this is not new lol.

That’s cool to see. Please be conscious of your infosec, but have you worked with them? I’d be interested in learning more. Feel free to DM me if you’d feel more comfortable replying that way.

I tried to contact them a while back but it never went any where.

What’s the deal with Stein? I periodically see that she sucks or is a grifter, but usually it’s a dem who is pissed she might “split the vote.”

From what I’ve seen of her platform she actually has many concrete, progressive goals with pretty specific carve outs for of various largely overlooked groups of people. It’s not like she’s explicitly for landback or dissolving Israel and the US, but definitely leagues better (on paper) than the dems.

All that being said, I’m voting for Claudia and Karina for an explicitly socialist platform. Ngl though, I wish the PSL vote socialist website had a long list of concrete points like the Stein website does.

An American who spent time stationed in Kenya (they never could tell me why we have a base there, go figure) told me about a group of navy seals that decided to try to put a t-shirt on a baboon once. Apparently they all ended up in the infirmary.

America isn’t sending the brightest.

With the right button, you’ve got MLK and Mother Theresa taking turns to punch it.

Well yeah, “the right button” could be anything. The button could have been “push this and Jewish Israeli people can live anywhere on earth safely and perpetually at peace with their neighbors.” It doesn’t even have to be anything about Israelis, religion, the region, it’s a fucking hypothetical.

Instead, the button is “kill millions of people that inconvenience me”. It doesn’t resolve anything for the country - they’re still at odds with a large number of neighboring countries. It doesn’t completely remove their inconvenience - settlers would still need to settle the stolen and destroyed land (even if the button just evaporated humans, Gaza is effectively uninhabitable).

They just want to talk about killing an entire people on their, apparently, large platform.

Well, with any luck they’ll be stuck somewhere in England with all the Amerikkkans because both shitty societies collapse at once.
