Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

    Starting a psyop on 4chan for making edgy school shooter wannabes start aiming at billionaires instead.

    “You see anon, it’s not that girls don’t like you or that your class has 1 non-white person in cornbread America, it’s that billionaires are leeches in society, and the cops they own would stop you. Don’t fire at classmates, fire at the upper class.”



  • I wasn’t around for Carter, or Reagan. I was born just before the Lewinsky scandal happened with Clinton. My first election was in 2016.

    I personally can’t vouch for his policies, but anyone was better than Reagan, and the more I hear about how Carter tried to talk to America in peaceful direct messaging, and personally lived by his own requests to the public to show that the President isn’t a king, the more I wish he could have came back.

    My parents told me of recalling that when Carter was in the gas crisis, he asked Americans to help save on gas bills. He had the white house also do the same, and was wearing a cardigan sweater to help with the heating.

    He had solar panels installed on the white house in the 1970s to help promote their use and save on the costs of the constant power draw of the most important building in America.

    My dad went on record saying Carter was his favorite president and he was happy to vote for him whenever he could. My mom I think also wrote in Carter in 1984 when Mondale was running.



  • Biden: “I’m a one term president, stability in crisis.”

    Biden: “I don’t care, fuck it, you only live once, I’m running again!”

    People: “You said you were a one term canidate, you’re old, you didn’t do COVID well, you broke up strikes, you aren’t protecting women’s rights, trans people are under attack, Mexicans are still in cages at the border, Ukraine could use more help, you’re doing a bad job at stopping weapons to Israel, rent is gone up, inflation is stopped bu not down, groceries are still expensive…”

    Biden: “Shut up Jack, check this out!”

    [“Primaries” give him the win, flops at debate, hands things to Harris]

    Biden: “Well I did what I could do. …I would have won anyways, why be consistant with what I say and do? Now lemme pardon my son after I said I wouldn’t.”












  • The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

    Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

    But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
