  • US Catholic cardinals urge Trump administration to embrace a moral compass in foreign policy

  • Yeah...

    Well remember them in 25 years and file FOIA requests after they hope everyone forgot. Optimistic that will even be an option in the future I know but instead of just protesting if we just keep spamming them with requests, relentlessly who knows what we might achieve.

    Since about occupy Wall Street I think we can see that any protest for a cause that is already well understood and acknowledged by the public at large(meaning the activism still needs to raise awareness that a problem exists at all) now requires some form of other actual action to gain any traction

    Too many people are too complacent, unwilling, or simply unable to do more than just express their opinion.

    It's just like with abuse victims, the best results happen when they are not only able to take action against their abusers, by but face them too. Which is often if not usually a cruel injustice to have a system that only seems to get good results when it requires further trauma to those who need justice.

    Whether that trauma is physical, psychological or simply even economic trauma

    We COULD simply stock up on say rice and beans, then quit participating in the system that is constantly fucking over those it should be seeking to protect, we the people. But as long as we won't and can't simply stop long enough and have a place to sleep, clothes on our backs and food in our stomachs we will lose to those that syphon all of our labour, the sliver of time we have on this planet, we will continue to suffer greater and greater losses...

    First they came for criminals, then they came for...

  • You have completely lost the plot here.

    They may have thought they were voting for something other than this shit show but it was extremely obvious that nothing good could come from voting for Trump if you aren't one of his friends.

    This IS what people voted for, because they voted for this sack of shit and the project 2025 was written out well ahead of the elections.

    They were lied to about many things, but they still voted for a lying liar and fucking should have known better.

    This is everyone's fault who voted for this orange shit sack

  • as if grabbing a gun and executing your neighbors is the easiest thing in the world.

    I just wanted to say this is not the way and is wrong.

    It's not people's neighbours that need to be going after.

    It about 600 people.

    That's it.

    Then you do it again if the next group doesn't make things right immediately.

    You can give them a choice. Ask them to resign or face the guillotine.

    That 600 people are the 3 branches of government and the Supreme Court.

    435 members of Congress. 100 Senators. POTUS and his appointees.

    Again it's not people's neighbours that need to be removed post haste.

    And yes there are good people in that 600. That's why you ask them to resign first. They can run again after the people have decided the smoke has cleared.

    I know this isn't going to happen nor is it as simple as 600 individuals. But those 600ish people are the problem. There are other and more problems but you fix those 600 and you can correct course

  • I already trust you more than most religious leadership or politicians. My confidence isn't high on this yet but I think you would already provide a better result than either of them.

    You have to remain being right about everything though or we will have to begin consideration to replace you.

    And I'm hoping you don't fuck it up, it would be rather refreshing to have a leadership strategy that actually just keeps getting things right all the time

  • Oh you feed them you feed them the off menu special.

    That actually reminds me of a story.

    So in 2002 I worked at a place where the old owner still owned the property and he would come by to collect his rent cheques. German fellow, old guy.

    He told a story once about growing up in Nazi Germany, he was very young at the time but old enough to remember it things.

    In the town he grew up in, it was a small town, turns out one day the local butcher and his wife had the SS show up and take them off to be executed.

    What they found it was Gestapo officers kept going missing in the area and everyone thought that they were taken to be questioned. No no it turned out that the old couple, who's children had long left the town and had lived elsewhere, were snatching Gestapo officers and then butchering them and selling them by turning them into sausages.

    He said the sausages tasted completely normal and everyone was quite surprised how good the sausages were given the fact they they were all eating human sausage
