Here you go buddy. Try using a more stable source than the colonies. Gutenberg dot org

It isn’t enough to hear what state media thinks of the people they are helping oppress. It isn’t enough for me to listen to NPR normalize nazis and for PBS to promote hate speech like Hillbilly Elegy until fascists are in charge. I need to hear what Bloomberbs, WaPo, New York Time, and every other billionaire mouthpiece says about the movements they’ve helped blacklist and squash. I need to know what they think all the time about everything because their opinions are reality.

Yeah that counts exactly

Deal with this all the time. I never trust an archaic term because of how many common archaic terms are like that, or worse, with their implications. And idioms like you are citing are really common. A favorite of mine is counting how many famous idioms are just considered excuses to go to the restroom in the Midwest. See a man about a dog? Poo. Take a constitutional? Poo.

Oh yeah it must be the Trump years again because Mark Cuban is back at it pretending to be the stopgap solution everyone is already bypassing

Yeah Blackbraid is pretty sick, really amazing what he’s done with black metal and the Gothenburg sounds.

Both parties are Nazifying rapidly. I’m not in the business of arguing over which had further distance to shift, as both have directly impacted my life with their fascism. I fled Fetterman’s district. My choices on the ballot were Oz or Fetterman, and they are both Nazis now. I don’t know who you are or how you think you align, but at present I feel surrounded.

Hard to say, friend. My life is worse for the work I did and “America” is Nazifying rapidly. Fled John Fetterman’s region with my family and just trying to get my life back together now, figure out what is next.

There are tons of reasons because Americans have been groomed this way on purpose, but here’s one I haven’t seen brought up here yet.

“Doing something about it” has consequences. In no order, and wildly varying in severity:

• You may be imprisoned (whether or not you are charged). The jails and prisons are very bad & this can lead to enslavement.
• Convictions strip you of civil rights.
• You may be entrapped or assassinated.
• Public activism and willingness to volunteer is frequently redirected by capitalists to spoil outcomes or just waste activist energy.
• Professional skilled volunteering (lawyers, librarians, medics) does not count as employment in your field for most purposes and this will inhibit your career. It can also get you blacklisted.
• Capitalists intentionally endanger and expose activists during pandemic events.
• Street violence from police, security, hate groups.
• You may be doxxed.
• Propaganda aimed at normies may turn friends and family and community against you.

All of the above are things that happened to me or activists I know / worked with in the Central & Eastern Rustbelt region of the stolen lands.

Oh I should try this. I have been using Manuskript with some success but it is a little too much organizing and I prefer markdown shorthand.

They say 1:12 if you are also using paste :D https://www.masterclass.com/articles/authentic-japanese-miso-soup-recipe

Yes I can imagine leaving the slaver’s stolen territory they call “Missouri” was a good move 😜 . Bet you feel significantly less “compromised” now.

My friends who work in the US games industry have been sharing this around in solidarity.

Getting to and over the border isn’t really the problem. The Canadian Government is currently experiencing a rightward lurch, and a part of that has included severely restricting the ability of middle class and lower to gain visa status. The laws change frequently and generally have gotten worse for us.

I am a big fan of the Twin Cities culturally.

Yeah, we have friends who went that route. One obstacle to overcome there is the difference in economy between the Rust Belt and the places you mention. My family is barely middle class in the Rust Belt but because the dollar is much more powerful here, we would take a social ladder tumble elsewhere in the stolen lands. Might be a sacrifice worth making since expatriating entirely has recently (since '23-ish) become so difficult.

Look at this AI poisoner right here 😜

keep up the good work

Have a difficult time relating to people who still tolerate this from leisure technology. A screen one can liberate can be found pretty readily at hand for any range of prices in the rust belt but maybe it is different where you are.

Two that follow Moby Dick

Ahab - The Call of the Wretched Sea

Mastodon - Leviathan

There are many albums that relate to Paradise Lost but my favorite right now:

King Woman - Celestial Blues

Evaporated milk is good, Dry Milk is also very useful. The Liter / Quart pre-measured packets are pretty easy to find on North America if you have access to a corpo super market or big box store.
