I very much don’t think your average person understands the threat of fascism or what’s on the line, I feel like that belief comes from being in a left leaning echo chamber.
Obviously anecdotal but the vast majority of people I know are not great about consuming news, are not politically active, and don’t believe this election will have the deep consequences that I do.
Fucking send it to Ukraine they actually need it
built by 52 AD
It was the longest tunnel ever built until the inauguration of the Fréjus Rail Tunnel in 1871
Holding the record for 1,819 years is absolutely insane
That’s funny, most New Yorkers I know love Temptee way more than Philadelphia
And then she used her fame and platform to write a book exposing all the people who harassed her and what they did. I don’t entirely disagree but I think she doesn’t deserve to be characterized as simply a sex toy/ victim with no voice or agency
independent media and independent journalists

I think you mistyped “Russian state sponsored media”

Very curious what makes a man who said he believes he’d prefer suicide to prison show up in Texas on a private jet and turn himself in
Oh absolutely, it’s such a good one. You put it perfectly, one of my favorite things was listening to it while driving these twisty country roads near my grandparents house when I was younger ( a little faster than I should :P )

Fun fact, spirit in the sky was made by a Jewish man who just liked the sound of gospel music and didn’t believe any of it. White Christmas is similar, Irving Berlin was also Jewish.
Sometimes creative people just want to make good art and in largely religious societies they can make their art more relatable or consumable by incorporating that religion
Edit to add: Michelangelo never even wanted to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He … made it clear from the start that he resented the commission, which had been imposed upon him by the imperious and demanding “warrior pope”, Julius II.
Some absolutely beautiful things have been made in the name of religion, but underneath that I believe you see the beauty and creativity that the human spirit is capable of shine through, and those amazing people deserve credit much more than an invisible sky man or hierarchical power structure for supposedly inspiring it

Sorry that an already painful time was made worse
Thanks for taking the time to explain :)
I’ve never heard of using capitalized pronouns, would You mind sharing a bit more about why You use them?
No pressure at all, You obviously don’t have to explain or justify Yourself or Your identity to me or anyone, but I’ve done a bit of googling and the only references I can find are to deities and i genuinely would love to know more
Or just aim for the fucking chest
Thanks for posting, fascinating read. I haven’t used coinbase in years but useful to know they’re shitheads
Potentially irreversible damage, we have extremely little time to take meaningful action on climate change and if trump gets to appoint judges for the next 4 years the situation very easily could be unrecoverable
I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say but what I meant is that I agree people on the left are most keenly aware of the dangers of fascism and if you’re surrounded by mostly them (aka in a left leaning echo chamber) then you’ll believe that most people are aware of the threat and take it seriously.
Unfortunately in my experience most people outside of the left (which is most people in this country) don’t share that awareness and therefore do not take the threat as seriously as they should
