Fascist are the new normal for republicans now, they’ve tasted blood and aren’t going to let it go willfully. The next Trump will be smart, articulate and the damn devil incarnate .
How is climate change not important for black people. Don’t we live on this planet also, I’ve never understood this take
If the don’t vote crowd voted in every single election they would see a lot more change. You can’t just vote in the presidential election and think everything will change. We need to have a humbling discussion about the willful ignorance of the don’t vote crowd and how to fix it

This clown thinks climate change doesnt effect black people
The point is. Once in office - white liberals will hyperfocus on “more important” issues like climate change, yet ignore and marginalize systemic racism. It’s nuanced. We’re now at a stage where they will acknowledge it, but in terms of doing anything worthwhile nothing is happening. Bill Clinton did when he passed environmental protection acts just as he passed the Crime Bill.How is climate change not important for black people.

Don’t try to reduce my point either - I did not say that climate change isn’t important for black people. Seriously, quote where I supposedly said that shyt.

If the majority had it their way the “don’t vote crowd “ would just vote Democrat in every non presidential election regardless off candidates.If the don’t vote crowd voted in every single election they would see a lot more change.

In today’s current climate of politics when the opposition are literally fascist and a safe haven for domestic terrorists that would be to the majority’s benefit.
This. People who push for "not-voting" without producing alternatives are selling you a bill of goods.
If you aren't producing alternatives to housing for the homeless, to protect the community from violence, to ensure access to education and social services, to develop environmental protection projects - or to feed people. They're not really for you.

We already live in that society.
PATRIOT Act allowed warrantless wiretapping, expanded executive branch’s power
“you’re either with us or you’re against us”
plus the torture at CIA blacksitew/GITMO
Protestors are attacked by militarized police
police are militarized to murder average unarmed citizens
The list goes on, unfortunately
I think a lot of these folks low key like these conservative policies because they’re selfish like these people but they don’t understand this doesn’t apply to them because they’re black. It’s one of the saddest thing to see an adult not understand they see us all the same and they’re hot air doesn’t apply to them

People already forgot Hurricane Katrina more or less washed the Black people out of New Orleans almost literally.
Exactly, environmental racism is a real thing.
Chomsky is a sheepdog, and nobody ever listens to anything he has to say til it’s time to herd said sheep. 70+ years of the same losing, race to the bottom strategy get's us what? Trump levels of failure....
Had we put a stop to the bullshyt before Noam became a senior citizen, we could have gone up against a greater evil that had much less to work with than Trump has been left with by his 'lesser' evil, supposedly harm reducing predecessors. Are we supposed to do this for 70 more years?
He's talking about "what about your grandchildren?" When a lot people in this generation have opted out of having kids all together because they DON'T SEE A fukkING FUTURE. How do you convince people to think about their hypothetical grand children when they can't afford a home to have any children first, or house the ones they do have without having to barely scrape by.

For the longest time I did not know that when America actually landed in mainland Europe Germany was close to defeat because the Soviet Union threw 20 million bodies at em. 90% of all Nazi casualties were at the hands of Russians and we just swooped in for a few months barely lost any lives and were like
this was tough.
That's smart if you ask me.
Why subsidize Russian gains with your own people/money?
Soon as someone brought smoke directly to US soil (Japan), they were on 10.
