People are being purposefully divided by the ruling class into meaningless containers like Democrats/Republicans, White/black, and tenant/landlord

We're all on the same side and they know they can't beat us if we all put aside our differences and band together

We need to focus on real issues that affect our every day lives, like Russian and Chinese imperialism. And also the crazyyyy North Koreans

If this is satire: lol If this isn't satire: what the fuck?

If you see a Hexbear account that is older than like a month posting a take like this, it's a bit. The unironic ones don't last long because they get sent straight to the poster gulag

The twists is the last sentence. Honestly a good set up, GaveUp had me going until I read the last sentence twice.

I don't know, I think by the end of that first line it was clear that something was seriously awry. One of those three divisions is not like the others.

I'm not on the same side as landlords I-was-saying

Also we need to put homeless people into camps so billionaire gentrifiers in San Francisco feel safe.

What's the liberals response to all this?

Sorry, I had to.

I'd expect nothing less from a guy called @Politidope.

That second one cracks me up every time. Its like yelling "Stop! or I'll tell you to stop again!"

“Very sad to hear that. 😔 It’s unfortunate that this is the current state of our country. White supremacy is a huge problem here and no one should be treated this way. 😔” [offers no solutions to the issue]

The effects are very bad, of course. But the causes? The causes are great.

[–] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Yeah but did you see trump-kubrick-stare ? It's like Christmas in August.

Is crime actually up by much?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's enough that it's got the talking heads on the msm spinning it that it is, which is why I brought it up.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't trust them, or local police. Afaik the FBI is the least sketchy source of crime stats, and then maybe there are some independent researchers that are okayish.

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

talking heads

unless talking about the band, plz no. talking heads will say crime is bad because the corporate overlords want more cops.

I think it is slightly but it’s up from being the lowest of all time

[–] Nagarjuna@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know about crime generally, but retail has seen dramatic staffing cuts and as a result, shoplifting is up for sure. No data, just reporting from the ground. It's not a problem when they're subtle, but the assholes who push you around to get to the liquor are stressful.

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

It's hard to generalize, but I think violent crime is falling from the recent spike, while property crime is stable or even up a little (shoplifting, as you said).

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I can't stop farting

[–] tuga@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Same as plenty of socialists I've seen lately, vote blue no matter who

Don't know why I didn't see it coming that everyone would fall in line to save democracy again

You almost have to admire, in a sickening way, the insane way the US co-opted an anti-police racial equality movement. They were able to use it to justify even more police funding! It drives me insane that most americans will fall for this every single time.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I keep expecting a given event to be the final nail in the coffin for my sanity but the US keeps finding more goddamned nails.

it will be an iron coffin at this rate

The preacher man says it's the end of time

He says that America's rivers are going dry

The interest is up, the stock market's down

You guys got to be careful walking around here this late at night

This, this, this is the perfect place to get jumped

But do you think the end of the world is coming?

No; so says the preacher man, but I don't go by what he says

build more prisons
