It sounds to me like they did this to kill the poor faster and make decriminalization look bad originally because they implemented said decriminalization without adaquate social services or addiction resources. I'm not gonna celebrate mentally ill people being locked up and forced to labor for pennies by the state.

Well I think that comment is 100% spot on, for one

Which is fucking 2 brain cell, textbook senile xenophobic nonsense. I want fucking healthcare and I already live in a police state, I don't know why anybody thinks gatekeeping migrants from living here is a magical fix to America's problems- a giant wall across mexico just makes us all less free and I fully 100% believe these policies are all about giving the state more control at the end of the day.

Ahahaha no. Biden's can't deal with criticism from the left so he's trying to win over the right, like he's done anything but that in his time in office. This is a terrible idea and empowers trump as a person.

I feel like that's the reason I tend to preach anarchism over communism in general and don't doubt you're right about the statistics and propaganda playing into perception but I can't help but feel like here that comes off as rehabilating the image of capitalism. We can make a softer bed of knives or make one out of foam- I know which one I'm choosing

Lol "safety capitalism" the editors wouldn't even let them say socialist. Just the state of the world in 2024 -fight harder, people. I personally can't handle what this shit does to my blood pressure anymore

Nah RIP Craigslist personals, it was one of the only safeish places to advertise sex work -imo these services should be state-or-community-funded, free AND respecting of privacy, ideally. Maybe it did need more moderation; but even more so it needed less outrage about the useful connections and exchanges of services it enabled. We should always mourn the old web, sure it was flawed like anything else 20 years ago but it was still faaaaaaar better than the google-ravaged wasteland of today.

Google wants the internet simplified so they can get it under their control, what else is new? I started learning web design a few years back and this is the kind of shit that makes me suicidal. There's almost no point when they have such a huge monopoly in the space.

Tax the rich and/or defund military or police just enough to pay for decent healthcare and mental health services in this country. Can't have responsible citizens if you're driving them to the brink of insanity- these conditions are intentional so the state can turn the mentally ill into free labor in prisons and maintain a military force against the people at large.

8 is old enough to know a lot of things about yourself. Personally I knew I hated the idea of "being a man" at that age, i just wish i had realized sooner that growing into something else was a option. My mental health would certainly be about 1000x better if I had been able to transition then instead of as a overwhelmed, forsaken and misunderstood 19 year old...

Well, as a american- everywhere I've ever worked has had a recycling bin but it's always treated as another trash can. Just something that depresses the absolute fuck out of me.
