Well these kids are well still kids. So they currently believe the best way to fight capitalism is to not buy stuff. Which is really easy to do when your parents still support you.

Right. Because it allows them to “belong.” In his mind, “he’s made it.”  And like all of these assholes do, they change their origin story to justify themselves.

I would contend that many of the BLM protestors - Black and white - were probably also going through economic anxiety/issues because the pandemic has resulted in 40M+ people losing their jobs. And depending on the state (like FL for instance) many of them had trouble even receiving unemployment. However, even if that…

Yup. the MAGA fascist movement is not one made of toothless yokels from the Florida swamps. It’s middle class, Christian, and overwhelmingly white. The same demographic that is losing cultural and economic ground yearly.

I’m with you except for money and career. I’ve lived through 6 recessions and many corporate buyouts on the wrong end. (the one where you get fired because you belong to the bought company) and decades of jobs going overseas and wages not keeping up with inflation and the destruction of employee rights, and none of…

BIPOC don’t get to go wilding out if we’re behind on the bills

I’ve seen so many people fail upwards that “meritocracy” is utter bullshit in America.

Yes. Here is the piece for people who don’t have it.

<evil but satisfied laugh>

he’s going to get through this, and the fact that they’re not doing this and ramming through every progressive thing they can at the same time, is really going to hurt them.

The fact that the family had to work to investigate Quawan’s apparent murder while still mourning his death because the police wouldn’t, and then getting a suspect after the police didn’t bother is heartbreaking. I wish it hadn’t been necessary for them to have that kind of strength.

Well, a good chunk of Americans voted for him, so he would be a fool not to run again, even if it’s a third-party candidate. Biden and the Dems need to do a decent job these next few years. Holding this trial instead of, you know, passing a relief bill isn’t the best start. If Trump gets through this, you just know…

dead *or in prison*. The latter is still definitely a possibility thanks to NY state. I am cautiously optimistic Tish James is finalizing her case to nuke his fat ass from orbit.

While I agree with your overall sentiment, this women seems profoundly silly(won’t say stupid I’m trying to be nice) for doing this. Especially at being 40 years of age.

The comment today was that she and her family were considering suing Gorilla Glue because while it says not to put on skin, mouth, or eyes, it does not specifically say not to put it on your hair.

So, I didn’t go to Provo Canyon. I went to a different school, which did not abuse children. Shut down Provo Canyon, certainly. That’s not the same as saying shut down residential treatment modalities.

He probably makes money either directly from shilling or from part ownership of some sort. Dude is a total charlatan. 

“Dr" Phil is on promoting these types of places all. the. fucking. time. I hate that guy.

Whew. My knee-jerk reaction to this is so, so torn. I also went to a school for “troubled teens” and I also was woken up in the middle of the night to be transported across the country (first to a wilderness program in Utah, then back across the country -slightly- more willingly to a boarding school). It saved my…
