It can be messy and it can be complicated, but it really doesn’t have to be.

I know and bunch of people including myself who are very adult about their (romantic) long-term relationships. Those people tend to work hard in themselves and their relationships, especially in the first few years though.

Thanks for the summary!

The main product of SpaceX is corruption, they also have a side-business in rocketry.

How so? I’m genuinely curious, don’t know much about it, also not US-American

Ah yeah, I realize I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that rioting/organizing against this system in general (historically) doesn’t work.

But I still believe that organizing matters, always. Even if it only saves a few people from being deported or makes change more difficult it is meaningful. I may not bring Trump out of office, that might be true

Well, let’s ignore your rude reply then

I disagree. They may not have achieved their goals, but they have often achieved a step towards it. Riots for the abolition of work may lead to less working hours and better protection. Stonewall was a riot…stuff for queer folks is far from perfect but has improved a lot in the last decades in many countries.

Agree. People tend to not realize that the system itself is the problem, not the people currently at the top of the pyramid. They are exchangable, as long as the (capitalist) system itself is still in place

Sure you had the right kind of people around you back then?

I like the saying “time that is enjoyed wasting isn’t wasted”, but it sounds like it wasn’t enjoyable to you back then…

Easy solution: Threaten immigrants with deporting them, actually deport half their families…the remaining ones will do anything just not to be deported. No wonder capitalists tend to fund right wing parties
