What is the opposite of "don't dead open inside"? This works both ways.

Yeah, so weird they would be selling these stickers that could be put really anywhere. Absolutely disgusting if someone purchased hundreds of these and started just sticking them everywhere. https://www.makestickers.com/design/24120721P6VV-pij1gytwuonpuv2ibielr6lk

this is the lesson that children need to learn for a better future

Consumerism and politcal tribalism for unrealistic platforms?

Oh god, I thought gas station clerks were finished cleaning dumbass' stickers off and now you assholes are here just in time.

Luigi is more popular than Congress right now.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 33 points 3 hours ago

That's like the lowest bar imaginable

He’s done more to fix our shit situation than they have. Fucking worthless cunts.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, congress negotiated insulin priced down by over 90% average, so you're wrong actually.

The systems still fucked, but it's a bit early to start erasing all the good things from the DNC majority and Biden Admin.

Yeah but that's over. Everything done can be undone.

I expect enough turmoil within the republican party to make 2026 a viable turnover. Right now they can't even agree on who their speaker should be and are heading straight into government shutdown.

If not, it'll at least be difficult to pass everything they want with only a 53 seat majority in the senate.

Don't forget that these people exist because of the propaganda that they take in. They buy into it. They're not yet aware that it's a class war, not a culture war.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 26 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, but that's not hard. I think the approval rating of some strands of herpes is higher than congress.

More popular than JFK.

I found video.

The sign in the back "money won't save you everybody hates you" sounds like a nursery rhyme. I like it.

I love that the cameraman pans over to all the CEOs wearing the same suit, staring at the protestors

This was exactly where my brain went!

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago

That’s a protest chant

I suspect private security company stocks are about to go way up.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

Not a lot of people are willing to put themselves between a CEO and a mass riot for $14/hr.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 0 points 16 minutes ago (1 children)

Lol where have you been? People doing monumentally stupid, dangerous and violent things for insultingly small sums of money for rich assholes is kind of our thing. If you offer silver for violence there will always be takers.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

Disagree. People do things for profit to a point. As a veteran who's done security work, soldiers and veterans start because of a faith in doing the right thing. Security work doesn't have that ideology. I don't know about you, but I'd rather go home to my family over fighting off 500 people angry about their lives. It's an entirely different motivation, with entirely different standards to be covered. Money doesn't buy values or standards. And when you buy security, that security can be bought. Nobody is untouchable.

Their CEOs might want to keep a low profile.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 17 points 4 hours ago

It's Italian plumbers and CEO goombas all the way down

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I've stated previously that my next career move would be into security because there isn't a single American who wouldn't step out of the way at the first available opportunity and they fucking know it, so foreign security is the only real option ... and I don't need to tell them it isn't any better just because they didn't personally screw us.

I too am happy that the vast majority of people at the event were just pedestrians walking by without acknowledging them. Can you imagine if these types of people were mainstream?

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 9 points 3 hours ago

They asked nicely

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

My goodness! There must be a dozen of them! lol
