BUTTERY MALES!!!

Yowza. After the ADL defended musks blatant and obvious nazi salutes, how are they gonna sugar coat this?

Tim Walz is awesome. I’m liking him more and more as time passes.

They just thought they’d do everything they did back then, but on water? And with mini blimps?

The entire planet and all humans would be better off without American conservatives. Full stop.

Punish the poor for being poor, and charge them even more.

Yeah this is definitely what all these republican christians think jesus would have wanted. Psychopaths.

Agreed, but you could spin it a number of ways. The “tough guy work ethic” cultural propaganda is to just go to work when sick. The fact that your not as productive when you feel shitty, well, the owners would have to actually care. Their argument is they’d probably prefer a sick employee only working at 70% their normal productivity, is better than letting them stay home.

The other much bigger thing is, how much money is over the counter meds industry profiting? Do they have lawyers and lobbyists? Is this profit entrenched in Wall Street investors and quarterly profits?

Which wins? Altruism for the worker bee, or rich peoples money and power?

What you’re saying hits home.

Conservatives have this tough guy routine, that going to work when you’re sick is just manly or “alpha”. It’s bullshit. Then they spread it so everyone else can get it.

But the tough thing to do, is go to work, after pumping yourself full of nyquil, or Tylenol, or whatever. It’s just so stupid and obvious. They’re so “tough” yet they need all this OTC junk to ease the symptoms. Not to mention, not being productive at work, cause you feel like shit. As well as taking longer to get better.

Personally, I prefer not to take any meds at all. Just go home, sleep a lot, drink water, eat soup, chill, rest, etc.

Think about all the capitalist profit businesses make for common cold symptoms alone, with over the counter meds and stuff.

No way something like this would be allowed in our current society.

We need to have the names of every doge psycho working under musk. Why are they allowed to be private/anonymous? Why isn’t anybody talking about it?

People need to upvote this for visibility, not disagreement. Seems like most of us agree, fuck no.

People need to see what BS is coming.

But then again I’m just assuming that’s how lemmy works and if we downvote it will get lost.

Isn’t this some real nazi fascist like tactics? Are they just testing the waters?

If they could actually get the few progressives we have in prison on BS charges, I think they would. And their supporters would cheer.

Then we will lose.

The immigrant and LGBT stuff just gets bigots more energized to vote and fight. That is their tactic and they’re winning.

The conservatives are gaining power and enacting policies to entrench power. Destruction of education means less educated, therefore more ignorance and bigotry. Easy to manipulate.

Progressives need to win first, get power, then enact policy changes. Protections and support for minorities only comes when we have the power to enact such policies.

Keep amplifying the LGBT and immigrant stuff, bigots will keep voting for the cons. They’re winning.

Maybe, if we amplify how they’re being ripped off and manipulated by billionaires, we might gain some non-zero support.

What I would give for some actual leftists who are tough.

We need a younger bernie who is more aggressive. Shut the fuck up about woke and LGBT stuff. Speak only about how billionaires and corporations and wall street are exploiting the poor and working class.

Tax the billionaires. Support the Working class. Accountability for the rich. No more of this laws are only for the poor nonsense.

Free Healthcare. Free college/university. Free meals for kids in schools. Fund our fucking public schools. Make the rich pay for it or they can get the fuck out.
