People like this manager hire undocumented immigrants because they can pay them less and they can abuse them under the threat of deportation. Are you suggesting an inconsistency in his behavior? Majority of immigrants do enter at ports of entry actually, and furthermore, go fuck yourself.

I'd rather people who say shit like your comment be deported, if I supported any sort of deportations.

don’t get a good faith exception if I truly thought that the speed limit was actually 75 instead of 55

If you have a decent lawyer this is possible I'm pretty sure. Essentially the wealthy do get a good faith exception.

Part of me is leaning towards Luigi being the guy and he planned on getting arrested with this 'too good to be true' evidence in this little known PA town, because he was banking on them bungling it and he knew he would have a good legal team making it seem planted, or at the least have widespread public support if he did get charged.

Every election in my life has been 'the most important in history ' or whatever. As a brown person you should have more awareness that no vote, no established politician will save us from the right, that Democrats are hardly even opposition anymore and are simply a donation gathering organization putting on the airs of a relevent party.

There is no political motivation for anyone in power to slow the rise of fascism, or to stop a genocide going on in Palestine or one being prepared in the US. There is no point in acting like Kamala or anyone in the US political class has any chance of preventing the numerous crises building, or even a desire to. The sooner more on the left can recognize this, the sooner we can start working on actual solutions.

Which are you referring to? There are still thousands of Palestinian people in Israeli detention, many indefinitely with no charges, including hundreds of children.

I would argue total hopelessness is inaccurate because things can change in ways we don't anticipate. The US will collapse as all empires have, and the world will become a better place, but it will be a rough transition and things will get extra fucked as climate change worsens. Many more people are working to make things better for each other than there are people working to fuck us over, they are just better organized right now.

But anyway the level of hope you feel is more likely to be dictated by whatever material reality you are experiencing. If you are actually looking for a logical argument against hopelessness in an effort to reduce it there are better ways.

Sbarro was founded by two Italian immigrants in Brooklyn, they were probably real NYC pizza at one point

If someone is shot and paralyzed, but dies years later from complications it is ruled as a murder in connection with the shooting. If someone is horrifically abused and commits suicide, should the suspects of the abuse have some culpability in the death?

Whether suicide or murder, her blood is on Epstein and company's hands.

I have had a day where I was sure I wanted to die and years where I didn't. It's possible for it to change in an instant. I don't know any details of her situation, but just pointing out that that can change from moment to moment.

It's so clear how much more the state cares about the rich. They spent millions searching for him when the same week there were multiple other people killed in NYC that didn't even receive news coverage let alone a multi-million dollar manhunt.

According to most that would use the term disparagingly these days I would be a tankie, so I mean we as in me and other 'tankies'.
