Oh man I have a story about an unhoused lady who has dementia. I walk my dog and sometimes she recognizes me, other times she has no idea. One of the days I was walking the dog and she forgot who I was and asked to pet my dog. She thought I was unhoused as well for some reason and told me about some good spots to sleep. These people know what it means to survive based on the kindness of others.

PS

Her name is Catalina, and sometimes I see her at church and she donated what little money she has. It sorta painful but then I remember how we treat her. We always have a place for her at our table to eat after the service. She's our neighbor as far as we're concerned.

Aside from the systemic reasons why the internet leans heavily right: when you deport people's neighbors then politics is no longer a sports game and even the nonvoters understand this.

I honestly think how we treat the service industry is how many people end up treating their kids.

I think it was David Graeber that pointed out that the poorer you are the more you need to be able to empathize with your boss and clients in order to survive.

But this notion that the middle class are somehow more empathetic is interesting because I think it is based on the (correct) idea that people need to actually own something in order to be generous. However, I find from personal experience, poor people have an easier time giving what they have because they know they can survive having nothing.

Just unlock it using your white voice.

Developers destroyed the internet. Or do you think normies built the new advertising surveillance paradigm on their own? Hopefully they were well compensated.

Article 1 of the Dutch constitution states

May day massacre was just union workers having a picnic with their families. Making protests family inclusive works

I wonder if they did a similar screening when selecting which troops to deploy to LA.

He cucked Steven Miller, so there's at least one person.

Maybe she's not a class traitor but people gotta start somewhere

You know it's sarcasm because they would never say "kidnap". If asked, those kids had it coming just like the dead babies that voted for Hamas.
