It’s a great reason until there’s an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.
Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices’ impact on the working class.
You want to change it? Let’s change it. Starting with activists.
Unfortunately we proved just before the midterms that there’s a very linear inverse correlation between gas prices and perceived job performance. Refilling the strategic petroleum reserve is electorally smart. Until activists can detach these electoral relaities nothing will change for anyone.
I don’t know and I don’t know why you’re being down voted either
It’s propagated itself across the entire world and overtaken opposition repeatedly so I’d say in every way that matters, yes but unironically.
And this isn’t praising capitalism, this is stating that your alternative had better be more robust than the current most robust system in existence.

They’re basically asking Russia to stop the war and give back all the territory they occupied.
Yes.
But remember, it’s the rest of the world that’s warmongering! Also up is down!

Yes, keep reporting them. If their instance admins don’t act, your server can defederate from spammers.
It’s often not the judge’s discretion, is the thing. Any person duly convicted of crimes under xyz statutes (i.e.: public indecency/public urination) shall be listed, so the court/prosecutors can massage it to disorderly conduct for a cooperative defendant or whatever.
Legislatures are encouraged to make sure the line is as broad as possible, because there’s frequently stories of actual rapists and child abusers pleading out of sex offender registration. When the evidence is muddy and the prosecution doesn’t want to chance it at trial, but has enough to nail them for something, frequently sex offender registration is a big bargaining chip.
Thus in many states, public urination is a sex offense.
The US subsidizes fossil fuels to the tune of 600B per year. You pay for pollution with your taxes.
I think consequences accruing to bad people for the wrong reasons are still worth concern, personally.
I don’t really like this- for one, it’s based in the fact that homophobic people who also engage in queer behavior in secret tend to be outrageous in their hypocrisy. Thus, because it’s such juicy news people tend to assume it’s more common than it actually is. This is called the availability heuristic.
For another, it individually pathologizes the condition of being homophobic as being rooted in psychological reaction formation- thereby denying that homophobia is something encultured by the broader homophobic social system that we live in. The condition of being a gay homophobe isn’t a psychological one but a sociological one- it’s not (just) shame but a very real fear of the very real consequences which recruit them to uphold the very system that oppresses them.
Can you run pixelfed without federation?
Because it’s not a conspiracy theory - there was an impeachment trial about this.
