Boston tea party 2

Those that voted for those that voted for it.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Nah. I'm pissed at the Trumpets too, but voting ain't worth shit.

Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Social contract. I leave people alone until they mess with me. They messed with me and won't leave me or anyone else alone.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

IMO the capitalists, the politicians, and the cops broke whatever social contract ever existed. Your neighbors, as much assholes as they might be, whatever box they ticked on the ballot box, were caught up in the breakage. You don't have to like them, hell you don't even need to forgive them, but please understand that it is the systems that need to be destroyed. And if we have to destroy any people, let them be the monsters who drive the system (capitalists and politicians) and the people who inflict that violence upon us (cops, ICE).

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

They were waiting for an extremist like trump.

No. I will not forgive a second time.

Be ruthless to the architects of oppressive and exploitative systems.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Just in case anybody has doubts, I gave an unserious answer to an unserious question. It was mostly just a turn of phrase.

I believe that violence should basically only be used to stop violence.

Yes, that's why we should stop capitalist violence by tossing them into the sea 🏴🏴🏴

That would be a large portion of the country. Last I checked, I don't know of many, if any, politicians who voted "No!" when the time came. So unless I'm mistaken and some did, you'd be polluting the ocean and because the average American is like 300lbs ( source: I made it the fuck up ), we'd just end up damming it up and causing devastation.

Maybe just...

More seriously: nothing, because the Gulf of Mexico has seen more than enough pollution.

Every Republican.

the hardest thing about being a socialist is spelling bourgeois

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Honestly fuck the fr*nch for that one

it's always the fr*nch

They don't have to be corpses.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

But then you'll need to weigh them down. Pre-corpsed Republicans is cheaper than chains and weights, but I have to admit that the other method may be more satisfying.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not if you’re out far enough.

Capitalists and the rulers who do their bidding

Bobbin' around like grotesque apples

Anyone who voted yes on the bill.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Why would I pollute the guild of Mexico?

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

If we can stop things ending up in the Gulf, instead of polluting it -

Stop fertilizer runoff and disappear oil rigs, move all hotels back from the beach by a quarter mile or so.

If that option is unavailable, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Beth Bondi, Citizens United, and the gerrymandered voting district maps.

[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 7 points 6 days ago

We had the Boston Tea Party and they threw all the tea into the harbor.

I think we should name this one the Gulf of Mexico MAGA Party and act accordingly.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago

I agree with others stating that the bodies of those supporting it work for me.

So jealous of my UK brethren who can ask this question

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The UK passed a bill on the same day cutting literally half the support money disabled people rely on and plunging 150’000 into poverty. So people across the pond may be focused on that.

Oh and the fact you can get 14 years in prison and be labelled a terrorist for saying you support a peaceful charity against Israeli genocide.

[–] pleasestopasking@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

I am an uneducated American, thank you for sharing this. Really repugnant. This cancer is global and growing.
