Welcome to the dumping ground of my thoughts Idk what else to put here so: Fuck billionaires, support those that are LGBTQIA+, and build the community you want to see in the world. Oh and dinosaurs are the superior special interest.

Just a few of the photos I snagged while at the Fighting Oligarchy rally. Blown away at how many Utahns showed up. Approx 15,000 inside + approx 5,000+ outside.

Meant to post this a few days ago, but I loved the Bernie/AOC rally in Utah this past Sunday!

While I wish there was more emphasis on the โ€œhowโ€ part of fighting the America Oligarchy; having them speak to the increasing wealth gap was really nice.

Ya know we donโ€™t have to settle for the candidates in office?

Everyone hates politicians, but we can demand better.

Just if anyone was curious, Breloom is quickly becoming my favorite Pokรฉmon.

I know, Iโ€™m late on this butโ€ฆ.i think we should just not allow pardons anymore. Too easy to abuse.

I love the idea, but likeโ€ฆ.we have no justice for J6 and conservatives are riled up over Bidenโ€™s protective pardons.

Idk just sucks

Something I like to think about that helps me not hate everyone is, those who voted for the orange marmalade, voted out of fear of their budgets.

Nice thing is, as they get betrayed by Cheeto dust, they are hopefully more inclined to class revolution and I think thatโ€™s pretty cool.

America has perfected making the problems of Capitalism as better than any type of socialism/social policy. Itโ€™s truly mind blowing.

The government should have a rule that if your net worth exceeds a certain amount, you are ineligible for office.

What radicalized me?

Covid 2021

Why?

I did everything I was told would make me successful and comfortable and I still was living paycheck to paycheck. Turns out the American dream died back when the rich stopped paying their fair share.

What radicalized you?

Iโ€™d love to not need a car lol my growing city thankfully is considering options for the future, so at least there is some hope for a walkable or semi walkable city

For me I have 2 main things. If local (Mayor, city council) are they going to promote walkable city concepts and push for better public transit.

As for everything else itโ€™s usually how anti-corporate or pro-environmentalism they are.

This is roughly what I think needs to happen. Speak out about the bigotry but work to try to have conversations with people.

The only way forward is to unite under what we have in common and create mutual compromises where we differ.

What the fuck happened to โ€œDrain the Swampโ€? I thought Trumpers were wanting less corruption???

God, the cult following is insane.

Also one of my favorites! Blows my mind that everyone I have talked to loved it, but it wasnโ€™t a box office hit. (To be fair, they changed their name halfway through marketing ๐Ÿ˜… so that did play a big part in it not being successful)

Still an amazing movie.

Mexico suggests it would impose its own tariffs to retaliate against any Trump tariffs President Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican goods.

Well this isnโ€™t shocking. Tariffs are economic weapons, other countries are going to retaliate in kind.

Starting global trade wars is just gonna hurt everyone (as wars do). Wild to me MAGA is willing to burn everything down just to โ€œwinโ€.

Can you be a winner when everything is burning? I guess so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I think why Iโ€™m so against corporations is, if the government owned things such as utilities, the people have a much easier time demanding change over a corporation that has a monopoly.

If we collectively use something, we should collectively own something.

Ya, kinda blows my mind a little. The Right can throw a fit and make all kinds of conspiracies, while the rest of us kinda just have to deal with it or we are called crazy.

Thatโ€™s some serious narcissistic behavior right there.

Itโ€™s hard to balance the โ€œI love you and give you compassion and graceโ€ with the โ€œyour world view is really ill informed and hurts peopleโ€

Sometimes I just wanna call people dumb, but I know that just makes people angry.

Just gotta say it, even though things look bleak, we can do it together.

Iโ€™ve been thinking a while on what the next 4 years are going to look like and while I am definitely scared, I also have hope that the pendulum will swing back towards progress and compassion.

Be that compassion for others. โค๏ธ
