People are being purposefully divided by the ruling class into meaningless containers like Democrats/Republicans, White/black, and tenant/landlord

We're all on the same side and they know they can't beat us if we all put aside our differences and band together

We need to focus on real issues that affect our every day lives, like Russian and Chinese imperialism. And also the crazyyyy North Koreans

Also we need to put homeless people into camps so billionaire gentrifiers in San Francisco feel safe.

“Very sad to hear that. 😔 It’s unfortunate that this is the current state of our country. White supremacy is a huge problem here and no one should be treated this way. 😔” [offers no solutions to the issue]

The effects are very bad, of course. But the causes? The causes are great.

What's the liberals response to all this?

Sorry, I had to.

I'd expect nothing less from a guy called @Politidope.

This is not a joke. Even though overall unemployment has gone down, black unemployment has gone up in recent months instead.

The system that Bidenomics embodies is designed to ensure that that minorities take the brunt of the economic consequences first before the rest of the population. And you can imagine how that will inevitably exacerbate social tensions between different segments of the demographics, and all to the benefit of the capitalists.

How?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Obama deleted half of the generational wealth of black communities overnight when he evicted 9 million American homeowners (mostly low income black and Hispanic families), thereby facilitated the biggest wealth transfer from ethnic minorities to private capital and ensured that they and their children will never accumulate enough wealth to become homeowners again in the future.

Biden’s economic policy is simply a continuation of Obama’s racist policy. For example, by raising interest rates to 5% within one year, people with low income are being penalized while the top 10% are largely shielded from it. To put in more clearly, black families whose median income are much lower than white families are paying a lot more due to higher interests (i.e. becoming even poorer) to sustain their livelihood. And the layoffs that resulted from rate hikes also affected low income segments first, which is why you are seeing a rise in black unemployment when the overall trend is going down.

A plan backed by Biden disproportionately hurts minorities? surprised-pika

Is crime actually up by much?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I think it is slightly but it’s up from being the lowest of all time

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's enough that it's got the talking heads on the msm spinning it that it is, which is why I brought it up.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't trust them, or local police. Afaik the FBI is the least sketchy source of crime stats, and then maybe there are some independent researchers that are okayish.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know about crime generally, but retail has seen dramatic staffing cuts and as a result, shoplifting is up for sure. No data, just reporting from the ground. It's not a problem when they're subtle, but the assholes who push you around to get to the liquor are stressful.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It's hard to generalize, but I think violent crime is falling from the recent spike, while property crime is stable or even up a little (shoplifting, as you said).

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I can't stop farting

Same as plenty of socialists I've seen lately, vote blue no matter who

Don't know why I didn't see it coming that everyone would fall in line to save democracy again

You almost have to admire, in a sickening way, the insane way the US co-opted an anti-police racial equality movement. They were able to use it to justify even more police funding! It drives me insane that most americans will fall for this every single time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I keep expecting a given event to be the final nail in the coffin for my sanity but the US keeps finding more goddamned nails.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

it will be an iron coffin at this rate

The preacher man says it's the end of time

He says that America's rivers are going dry

The interest is up, the stock market's down

You guys got to be careful walking around here this late at night

This, this, this is the perfect place to get jumped

But do you think the end of the world is coming?

No; so says the preacher man, but I don't go by what he says
