  • You can't boycott Rowlings at this point though, she's made her fortune off the IP already. You're essentially virtue signaling.

    Musk on the other hand has most his wealth tied to the stock of his company. They aren't remotely similar.

  • Fair, I can't argue that's a good lens to view this through. I can only hope these people's message actually get some people to wake up.

    But that pessimism didn't just appear. There's a reason, and I'm my opinion a good one, for it. I think we're long overdue for a political overhaul. Though I'm probably just preaching to the choir.

  • Hey he specifically broke the record for longest filibuster when it didn't matter directly after voting yes to the budget proposal. How is that performative?!?! /S

    Could have done it a week earlier and it be an actual filibuster instead of some symbolic bs.

  • I think expecting Democratic Senators to vote no on things like the Laken Riley Act or Democratic Judges to not sign bogus warrants to arrest Gaza protesters should be a bare minimum expectation.

    Them not even being able to do that " keeps people down on the Democrats."

  • My understanding of the event:

    • 4chan jokes they should pretend the okay hand sign is a white supremacist dog whistle to trigger libs.
    • They do and it works.
    • Online shitters who's whole personality is "triggering sjw's" pick up on this and perpetuate the joke to continue to trigger people.

    Basically people getting mad at a joke caused it to become a real thing to some degree. While not a supremacist symbol it was heavily used by them for a time.

  • IMO she's already rich, and more of your money goes to an evil multi-billion dollar corporation than to her. If you enjoy the world fuck it, enjoy the shows, have, books, etc... There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and we're in dark times. You need to covet the things that bring you joy.

    Side note: She plagiarized most of the first book from Anthony Horowitz's "Groomsham Grange". I understand there's a lot of books about magical schools but seriously if you read them back to back it's clear. This isn't important to the conversation other than to supply another reason to hate the bitch.

    Edit: you can't boycott someone who's already rich off selling the IP. Be mad as you want, people aren't enabling her by purchasing content made by freaking Warner Brothers. She already got her bag.

  • I agree, but courts have been partisan for a while. See judge Cannon's handling of Trumps documents case and the supreme Courts handling of his freaking insurrection.

    I understand the way things are supposed to be. But it's not the way they are. Courts are going to have to decide which side of history they are on.

  • Fascists are good at using the fact that their opponents need to uphold the law against them.

    Your comment is correct as much as I hate it. But to the quoted portion, their opponents don't need to. They choose to. And it drives me insane that they think that we can operate within the system the fascists are actively ignoring to fix this. The "normal way" things are done is gone, it's time to stand firm and take action.

  • Actually no, details don't matter! Women's suffrage ran on the idea they deserved the right to vote. They didn't start out demanding a constitutional amendment specifically and immediately 😀. The civil rights movement didn't detail how to repeal Jim Crow laws and last out step by step how to integrate the black community . Please read a book, educate yourself on how change occurs instead of constantly saying it can't happen and doing your best to make it so (by doing nothing). The idea that you need a step by step plan to fix injustice or it's not possible is insane.

    Edit: also, until you get the least bit of education, I can't engage with you any further. You're utterly exhausting, sorry!

  • Sure! Continue to get active in our communities, create support networks, and once you get enough supporters strike until change is implemented. That's just a non-violent option too.

    If you'd like to learn more about things being "impossible" and still changing, maybe read a history book! Civil rights, women's suffrage, and the rise of the AFL are great starting points.
